Chapter 820
The stern lecture finally shut Jennifer up.
As the saying stated, “Might makes right!”
In this world, the strong dictated the terms. If Jennifer didn’t understand this
principle, she wouldn’t have acted so pompously in front of those weaker
than the Oatleys for so many years.
Seeing her silent, Sebastian let out a long sigh. “This one’s a goner. Go take a
shower quickly and see if we can still create a replacement.”
As a father, he was actually disappointed in Jaxton’s abilities.
Unfortunately, he had been too obsessed with making money when he was
young and never had another son. Now that things had come to this, he
could only take a gamble.
Jennifer complied to an extent. After all, her husband hadn’t touched her in
years, and she was much younger than Sebastian. There were still those
desires present.
By the time she came out of the shower, the effects of the drug Sebastian
had taken were beginning to show. Regrettably, he was already quite old, so
no matter how hard he tried, he found himself lacking the vigor. He could only
sigh in resignation.
On the other side, Emmanuel drove his sister and wife home.
“So, what are your plans next, Roselynn?” Emmanuel was the first to break the
silence.
Roselynn remained silent for a while before responding, “I’ll rent a place to
stay for now. I’m afraid if I go home, Mom will find out about this. Her health
can’t handle the stress.”
Despite understanding his sister’s concerns, Emmanuel still reminded, “You
can’t hide the truth forever. Mom will eventually learn about it.”
Of course, Roselynn also knew that, but for now, she could only take it one
step at a time.
After a brief silence between the siblings, Mackenzie spoke up, “Roselynn, I
have two suggestions for you: first, divorce Jaxton immediately. Then, either
quickly establish your own career or find another suitable man. As long as
you live a happy and comfortable life, Mom won’t worry about you!”
Roselynn was stunned.
A smile appeared on Emmanuel’s lips. He couldn’t help but admire
Mackenzie’s wisdom and insight.
Alessandra’s concern for Roselynn was primarily about the insurance of her
future. Of course, any mother would be worried, given her unemployment
and divorce.
If Roselynn could find happiness after leaving Jaxton, or at least not have to
worry about her future, Alessandra would naturally feel relieved.
“You’re absolutely right, Mackenzie! But the two things you mentioned aren’t
easy...”
Roselynn wasn’t lacking in confidence, but love and entrepreneurship
couldn’t be achieved with confidence alone.
“I can help you!” Emmanuel and Mackenzie blurted almost simultaneously.
At that, the two glanced at each other.
Emmanuel smiled while Mackenzie snorted intentionally and turned her face
away.
Roselynn felt rather aggrieved. She was here feeling down, yet they made her
witness PDA. Is this really appropriate?
“I’ll help Roselynn figure out her career, Mackenzie. You know a lot of fine men.
If you want to help my sister, you can introduce her to someone,” Emmanuel
suggested, making Mackenzie snort coldly again, for he had stolen another of
her lines.
But as many thoughts as she had, she still added icily, “Hmph, I can help
Roselynn if she needs funding and connections for her business, but I won’t
play matchmaker!”
“Alright, I’ll take care of these two things then!” Emmanuel confidently took on
the tasks and continued, “I’ll turn to you if I can’t manage. You don’t have to
worry about my sister for now.”
He knew that Mackenzie had enough to worry about lately and didn’t want to
burden her further.
“Idiot!” Mackenzie cursed softly. How could she not care about her
sister-in-law’s affairs? Not only that, she quietly instructed Wally to help
deliver a set of house keys immediately. Roselynn couldn’t return home for
the time being. She couldn’t let her rent a place all alone, right?
