Chapter 194
“Manny, it’s good that you’re back!” Emerson, who came to his senses, did not
choose to run away.
Despite Emmanuel’s military experience and potential combat skills, Emerson
remained unperturbed by the thought of facing the former as he was
confident in his group of men who were by his side.
“We men should be the ones to handle family matters instead of wasting
time reasoning with a bunch of women!”
Emerson thought Emmanuel would connect with the notion of male authority
and take charge of the situation accordingly.
However, to his surprise, Emmanuel responded with a sneer of disdain, “My
mother and sister are my elders, and their authority holds sway in this
household. If you find it difficult to communicate with them, it’s because you
lack a fundamental understanding of human decency!”
Roselynn could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction. These individuals
assume everyone shares their sexist views. Do they really believe everyone
looks down upon women like them?
Mackenzie, standing behind Emmanuel, could not help but grin.
She, too, had a strong aversion to men who disrespected women, so his
response was definitely a green flag in her eyes!
“Coward!” Emerson sneered, his face twisted with a baffling smirk as he
issued a threatening ultimatum. “Let me ask you one more time, are you
going to delete the posts on the internet? It’s your choice whether we remain
as relatives or become enemies!”
Jamison also emerged from the kitchen, positioning himself behind his father
with a show of force.
He wore a smug expression, convinced that he held the upper hand. He
believed that as long as Emmanuel was not a fool, he would not want to
engage in an endless battle with them.
Otherwise, their family would be doomed to a lifetime of unrest and turmoil.
After casting a quick glance at the kitchen and witnessing the anguish on his
mother’s face, Emmanuel swiftly lunged forward, delivering a powerful punch
to Emerson’s face.
Before Emerson could retaliate, Emmanuel then delivered a powerful kick that
sent him flying.
Boom!
Emerson landed heavily on the floor.
The house fell into silence.
“You’ve already treated us as your enemies. It would be foolish of me to
consider you as family!” Emmanuel bellowed.
Hermann, who had shown no concern when Alessandra fell, immediately
jumped out and exclaimed when he realized someone had hit his son, “Y–You
b*stard! How could you attack your own uncle? You heartless jerk!”
Roselynn, not one for physical confrontations but skilled in the art of debate,
gave a cold sneer. “And what about Emerson hurting his own sister earlier? I
didn’t hear any objections then, did I? Isn’t it natural for a son to defend his
mother when she’s being bullied? That’s not heartless–that’s standing up for
family!”
“You-”
How could Hermann possibly win an argument against Roselynn?
Emerson’s men were quick to bully the weak and defenseless, but when
faced with a direct confrontation from Emmanuel, they all cowered.
The Cadigan family now found themselves in an awkward position, unable to
win either arguments or physical altercations.
“Let’s just leave. There’s no need to let this family dispute escalate any
