It was common for parents to invest most of their energy and time in the child who seemed to have the least potential.
For instance, take William and his wife. Gautier was much more talented than Hubert, but Winona always favored her youngest
son. William also tended to prioritize his youngest son, taking care of his problems and cleaning up after him.
Alessandra found herself in a similar situation now.
Emmanuel had started his own family, while Roselynn was focused on her business. As a result, Alessandra devoted most of her
attention to Ryder, doing her best to assist him with his family. However, elderly individuals like her were susceptible to
delusions.
After Emmanuel was stopped by Mackenzie, he had no choice but to let Alessandra take charge instead of going against her
wishes.
Furthermore, Ryder agreed with Alessandra, insisting that he could be discharged from the hospital in three days. Consequently,
the wedding was hastily scheduled for next week.
Leaving the ward, Emmanuel asked his wife, “Mackenzie, why did you stop me from persuading my mom just now? Do you also
want Ryder to marry Ruby?” This was a rhetorical question. Of course, he knew that Mackenzie’s judgment couldn’t be wrong.
He just wanted a denial in response.
“Of course not.” As expected, Mackenzie denied it. “Your mother is deluded now; forcing her to change her mind is not the best
decision as it might backfire. We, as business people, need to use smarter methods!”
“Oh? Smarter methods?” Emmanuel was intrigued. Since he had promised to help the Quillen family increase their assets by 60
percent, he must enter the business world, so it was crucial for him to learn strategies from his wife now.
“That’s right. Internal factors often determine the external outcomes. Ruby hasn’t even come to take care of Ryder. What do you
think she wants by marrying him?” Mackenzie asked in response.
“She’s after his money, of course!” Emmanuel answered straightforwardly.
“That’s it. We just need to highlight this flaw in Ruby’s family, and your mother will eventually notice it,” Mackenzie analyzed.
“Superficial efforts won’t last a lifetime, and inner thoughts are easy to bring to the surface. Your mother is deluded, but she’s not
incapable of distinguishing right from wrong. As long as she sees Ruby’s true colors, she definitely won’t continue to push your
cousin into a living hell!”
She continued, “Isn’t there a saying that if you want to destroy a person, you should first let them do as they please? We’ll just let
Ruby reveal her true colors in front of your mother. Let her do whatever she wants.”
Mackenzie’s words resonated with Emmanuel. In fact, he had considered this issue, but he had been preoccupied with Magnus
and Claudette before and hadn’t thought carefully about how to handle Ryder’s situation. Now, when he heard Mackenzie’s
words, his eyes lit up immediately. “Mackenzie, do you have a plan?”

words, his eyes lit up immediately. “Mackenzie, do you have a plan?”
Mackenzie’s lips curled up slightly, but she didn’t say anything for the time being.
After getting in the car, she called Lexi. “Lexi, investigate Ruby’s entire family and try to provoke their obsession with money
these days!”
“Huh? Okay!” Lexi was taken aback by the instruction. However, with her close relationship with Mackenzie, she naturally knew
about the situation surrounding Mackenzie and had also learned about Ryder and Ruby’s situati So, when Mackenzie instructed
her like this, she immediately understood. After agreeing to it, she said, “Ms. Quillen, I can help with Emmanuel’s cousin’s
situation, but what about my cousin’s situation?”
Mackenzie immediately asked with concern, “You mean Julian? What happened to him?”
Emmanuel also perked up his ears. After all, he cared more about his sister’s situation than he cared about Ryder’s.
“Oh, Emmanuel’s sister refuses to give him a chance, so he’s been drowning his sorrows in alcohol every day. His parents are
very unhappy about this, and I’m afraid they will take their anger out on Roselynn!” Lexi expressed her worries.
Julian was the sole heir of the Summerton family. Despite his previous disinterest in business, his elders continued to indulge
him as if he were a child. Now that he was drowning his sorrows in alcohol and constantly inebriated, his elders were determined
to hold accountable the person responsible for his current state.
“If they have the audacity to do so, I will definitely not allow it,” Mackenzie declared resolutely.
All Roselynn did was deny Julian an opportunity; she never toyed with his emotions. Why should the Summerton family direct
their anger towards Roselynn for this?
