A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 

However, she didn’t want her mother to worry about Emerson’s safety 

either. 

“We’re family here, Roselynn. You wouldn’t sit by and do nothing, would 

you?” Jamison added with a smug grin. 

He was determined to take full advantage of Roselynn’s dilemma. 

“Roselynn does not have eighty thousand, so you can forget about asking 

her for money! We still have three days, so let’s try to come up with an 

alternative solution that doesn’t involve money. Maybe we can make a 

police report or something!” Emmanuel suggested. 

“You…” 

Hermann had assumed that his plan would work for sure, but Emmanuel 

foiled it completely. 

“If you want Uncle Emerson to make it home safely, then tell us everything 

that you know, Granddad. There’s no guarantee that they’ll let him go even 

if we pay them the money. In fact, they might even hold on to him and 

demand more money!” 

Emmanuel made such a good point that Hermann couldn’t argue with 

him at all. 

“Fine! I’ll tell you everything, but I will never forgive you all if he ends up 

dying because we don’t pay them!” Hermann threatened before giving 

them a brief summary of the situation. 

Alessandra had wanted to have them stay for lunch, but Hermann refused 

and stormed out of there with the others. 

“What should we do, Manny?” Alessandra asked helplessly. 

I can’t force Roselynn to pay up, so selling this house might just be the only 

option… 

Emmanuel knew what she was thinking, so he quickly reassured her, “I’ll 

take care of this, so you don’t have to do anything on your end. We don’t 

owe Uncle Emerson anything, so we are not responsible for the 

consequences of his own actions. He has only himself to blame for what 

happens to him.” 

Roselynn felt the same way about the situation. “That’s right! Uncle 

Emerson is forty–four years old, Mom! It’s not like he’s an underage teen 

who doesn’t know what he’s doing! We didn’t put him in that situation! He 

did it to himself!”

Of course, Alessandra understood all of that very well. She was simply too 

soft–hearted to sit by and do nothing. 

It was almost noon at the time. Mackenzie had her driver take her to a 

restaurant for lunch. 

Not only did she summon Beatrix to join her for lunch, but she also had Lexi 

come over. 

“It’s a Saturday, Mackenzie. Shouldn’t you be staying home with Manuel 

instead? Why would you ask us out for lunch?” Beatrix protested. 

She had been very busy lately after taking over some projects at work, so 

Saturday was her only chance to sleep in a little. 

It’s only eleven in the morning! I can’t believe Mackenzie would drag me 

out of bed just to have lunch with her! 

“That man went home early in the morning. What’s wrong with me asking 

you out for lunch? Why are you complaining so much?” Mackenzie 

snapped at her coldly.
