Chapter 164: The Power Behind Her
Marcella nodded. She was sulking for a week and she tried to find out alternatives when she was a little rational. She had a feeling that Tony would listen to her if she told him another way.
She didn’t know whether he would take her suggestion as he did when she asked him to disperse the gang. But she decided to try.
"Paul didn’t contact you after the birthday party?" she asked.
"No, that woman called many times. I didn’t answer her. Stella said she left a message but I didn’t listen to it," Tony said.
Marcella could only sigh. That woman is his mother! But she understood why he called her "that woman". At least, he had no plans of killing her yet.
"You’re not going to ask me to talk to her, are you?" Tony asked seeing her reaction.
"No," Marcella shook her head. "I have a pretty good life without any in-laws. Why should I willingly bring trouble?" She winked.
Tony was not smiling. "I will never forgive her for making you cry, Birdie. I never will."
Marcella smiled. Yeah, Mrs. Murphy made her cry a lot of times. She was glad Tony decided to stand up for her. He must stand by her side. He was her husband.
"She made me cry a lot. She made my sister sneak up to meet with me. I don’t think it was all her decision..."
"Paul must have asked her to. He didn’t want you sisters getting along. He must have feared that you two would have made plans or realized something..." Tony took in a deep breath.
"Didn’t we think that Paul wanted Joey for the island? Did he bring it up again?" She asked.
