Chapter 175
Hermann was aware of the rule. He had even signed his name in support of it
at the time, never dreaming that the rule would eventually apply to him.
Following a day-long online battle, Roselynn and Emmanuel managed to
decisively defeat Hermann and his grandson.
Finally, the torrent of messages berating Emmanuel had ceased, replaced
instead by apologies.
Emmanuel paid them no mind and ignored all incoming calls from unknown
numbers.
It wasn’t long before Roselynn called.
“Hooray! United we stand, divided we fall. We’ve achieved a complete
victory!” she exclaimed.
The frustration that had been building up inside of her was finally released.
“Indeed, we gave the two scoundrels of the Cadigan family quite the lesson
this time,” Emmanuel agreed.
Hermann had always favored sons over daughters and never considered his
daughter’s children as his family. Naturally, Emmanuel had no reason to show
the old man any sympathy, much less, Jamison, who was much more
despicable.
Emmanuel and his family had given the Cadigans so much money, yet he
showed no gratitude and even used their money to hire people to harm
them. The man was the epitome of ingratitude.
“Roselynn, our victory this time is all thanks to Mackenzie!” Emmanuel
quipped.
After sharing a moment of excitement with his sister, Emmanuel didn’t forget
his wife’s contributions.
While he was unclear about how much Mackenzie had done behind the
scenes, he understood that much of the impact was due to her help,
especially when it came to swaying public opinion.
“Indeed, I’ve always known how capable my sister–in–law is! You should bring
her home soon. I want to give her a big kiss!” Roselynn exclaimed, caught up
in her enthusiasm.
Emmanuel chuckled, deciding not to relay this to Mackenzie, knowing it would
only make her more reluctant to return home with him.
“By the way, Manny, that old coot Hermann just called me asking me to
remove the post. He even apologized, though it didn’t seem sincere. But it
was still a rare move for him,” Roselynn added.
“Remove the post? Did you agree to it then, Roselynn?”
“Not yet. That’s why I called to ask your opinion. Should we delete the post?
After all, I noticed that their posts have been deleted,” Roselynn replied.
Her words made Emmanuel hesitate for a moment.

However, Mackenzie immediately chimed in with a cold snort, “Delete it? After
all the effort we’ve put in? Do they think we were just playing games? I don’t
have time for such nonsense!”
Emmanuel immediately turned to his sister and jokingly said, “Roselynn, my
wife has decreed that we cannot delete the post.”
“Haha, you are already henpecked? All right, then. Let’s leave it as is and let
Hermann and his grandson stew,” Roselynn agreed.
As a matter of fact, Roselynn didn’t want to delete the post either, and now
with her younger brother’s support, she was even more firm in her decision.
“What do you mean by ‘my wife has decreed‘? It sounds so unpleasant!”
Mackenzie feigned indifference, returning to her room while struggling to
suppress a smile.
That Dummy clearly understands his standing in the family, doesn’t he? If he
dares to display any male chauvinism like his granddad, I will kick him out
without a second thought.
However, Emmanuel mistakenly believed Mackenzie disliked his way of
addressing her. He had only used that phrase to create a façade of marital
harmony in front of his sister.
Now, Emmanuel was growing more anxious by the minute. How was he to
face the aftermath if Mackenzie truly intended to divorce him in half a year?
How will I be able to face Mom and Roselynn then?
Shaking his head in silent despair, Emmanuel resolved to take one step at a
time.
As he was about to place his phone down, another call came in. This time, it
was from Ryder.
