    Chapter 197 Old Mrs. Riley Supported Her


    Tristan mistakenly thought that old Mrs. Riley was going to intervene on his behalf and he hastily exined.


    "Itisn''t a big deal. It was just some children''s issues, but Ms. Burton took it seriously and chose to involve herself in my family affairs."


    Old Mrs. Riley chuckled softly and diplomatically responded, "We''re all parents here, so there''s no need for us to beat around the bush. I''m well


    aware of my third son’s character as a mother myself. As for Adeline, I know her very well. Both of them tend to get involved in other people''s affairs


    and conflicts. If you still want to remain neutral, then I suppose we can conclude our discussion here, and I won''t be able to assist you."


    Tristan smiled and nodded.


    "Yes, yes, you''re right. My son is dating a girl from their ss. They''re just young kids, and a little mischief is normal. you know? One time, my son


    couldn''t smooth things over with that girl, and she turned around and falsely used my son of rape. Ms. Burton even sided with that girl and


    used my son. Fortunately, the courtter cleared my son''s name. Now, that girl and my son have patched things up again. But they''ve had another


    argument, and Ms. Burton rushed over yesterday, iming that she had saved that girl. Mr. Riley is taking Ms. Burton''s side, helping her confront my


    son. After that, they even threatened me not to pursue this matter. Old Mrs. Riley, what do you think? Is it good for our families‘ rtionship to


    deteriorate like this?"


    As Tristan finished speaking, Logan walked up to him and said, "On behalf of Adeline, I apologize for this matter. I hope you, as an honorable person,


    can be magnanimous...”


    Before he could finish his sentence, old Mrs. Riley cut him off.


    "Logan."


    Logan instinctively looked toward his grandmother.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    Old Mrs. Riley''s lips curled slightly. She looked at him and said, "Did I ask you to speak?"


    Logan hesitated and replied, "Grandma, I was just trying to help Adeline...”


    "For Adeline''s sake, you better keep your mouth shut!"


    Logan wanted to talk back, but old Mrs. Riley''s gaze turned fierce.


    “Our family members must carry themselves with pride outside! Listen carefully! Until things be clear, I won''t allow you to bow or apologize!”


    Logan''s expression was a bit conflicted and he retreated to the side.


    Edith exchanged a nce with Vi and quickly spoke up on behalf of Logan.


    "Grandma, Logan was only speaking up for my sister''s sake."


    Edith joined in, "That''s right, old Mrs.


    Riley. You care about Adeline, and so


    do I as her mother. But we must be


    fair in our words and actions. Event.

    As Edith spoke, she produced the counseling receipt.


    Adeline''splexion instantly


    drained of color and thought to SS


    herself," ‘Mrs. Burton, you say you


    wantto help me, but aren''t you


    trying to make things wors@ now?"


    Old Mrs. Riley remainedposed as she took over the counseling receipt.


    A faint smile appeared at the corner of Edith’s mouth.


    She was pretty sure that after today, old Mrs. Riley would never favor Adeline.


    With the push from Edith, her beloved Vi would undoubtedly be the daughter-inw of the Riley family!


    Old Mrs. Riley held the counseling receipt and nced at Edith. Then, she asked politely, "Mrs. Burton, did I ask you to speak?"


    The smile that had appeared on Edith''s face froze in an instant.


    Old Mrs. Riley''s voice gained a stern edge as she continued, "Since each one of you respects me and asks me to take charge, you must listen to


    me.”

    It was obvious that old Mrs. Riley was encouraging Adeline to speak boldly and she was ready to take her side.
