Chapter 193
As the group entered the main hall, they were greeted by a delightful aroma.
“Aunt Alessandra, are you making soup? It smells amazing! Can I have a bowl
please?” Jamison’s mouth watered immediately.
Alessandra hesitated for a moment.
She made the soup for her daughter-in–law. If she served everyone a bowl,
her daughter–in–law would be left without any to drink when she returned
home.
Furthermore, she was well aware that her daughter–in–law had a busy
schedule. The fact that she could spare an hour or two to be there was
already a gesture of kindness. What if they finish the soup, and I don’t have
enough time to make more for my daughter–in–law?
“What’s wrong? Can’t you serve my grandson a bowl of soup? Do you not
think of us as your family?” Upon noticing Alessandra’s silence, Hermann
directed a stern gaze at her, his face reflecting his disapproval.
“No, no, no. It’s not like that,” Alessandra stammered, her body trembling in
fear of her father’s disapproval.
Undeterred by the old–fashioned and patriarchal mentality of Hermann,
Roselynn fearlessly stood her ground. With a cold expression, she retorted,
“My mom prepared the soup specifically for my brother and his wife, so
there’s no extra for you! What exactly do you want?”
“What? Manny is married?” her grandmother exclaimed.
Hermann’s family, too, was taken aback.
Hermann even raised his voice. “Well, well, it seems you don’t consider us as
family at all! Alessandra Cadigan, you’re such an ungrateful daughter. Your
son got married, yet you didn’t even bother to invite us to the wedding. You’re
such a heartless woman!”
Filled with grievances, Alessandra wanted to explain to him, but before she
could do so, Roselynn stepped in.
She said to Hermann, “How dare you scold my mom? She’s heartless? You
people are the heartless ones! Ever since my mother married my father ten
years ago, you have never visited her, not even once. When my father
passed away, you didn’t even bother to come and offer your condolences.
When my mother underwent surgery, you didn’t show any concern. You even
withheld her share of the village dividends, regardless of her well–being or
struggles! Since you’d never appeared on any of the occasions above, you
expect us to invite you to Manny’s wedding?”
The lengthy speech rendered Hermann speechless, and all he could do was
glare at her in response.
“All right, Grandpa. We didn’t come here to argue about this,” Henrietta
interjected.
Although she did not like this family either, she was still a member of the
Cadigan family. Now that the online backlash had also affected her, she
knew she had to find a solution, even if it was for her own sake.
While her relationship with Roselynn was relatively better compared to the
other family members, interactions with Roselynn were still filled with hostility
and tension. Roselynn was known for her strong–willed nature and was not
easily swayed by others. Engaging in a direct confrontation with her would
not be a wise choice.
“Roselynn, we’re here to beg you to remove the posts on the internet!”
Henrietta pleaded in a soft tone, “I understand it was my brother’s fault, but
he’s still young. Can you please forgive him?”
Roselynn let out a cold snort. “Young? He’s already eighteen years old. He’s
legally accountable for his actions!”
She was not prepared to let them off so easily, especially considering that
none of these men had shown any willingness to apologize.
“Roselynn, this is how you want to play, huh?” Jamison expressed his disdain
upon hearing that.
“You step aside, Jamison,” Henrietta stopped him from talking.
Despite the anger on Hermann’s face, he chose to remain silent. They had
previously agreed that their intention was to resolve the issue peacefully, so
at this stage, they entrusted Henrietta with the task of handling the situation.

However, if Roselynn refused to cooperate, they were prepared to resort to
more forceful measures.
“Jamison, apologize to Roselynn and promise her you’ll not repeat such
behavior!” Henrietta ordered.
Jamison shot daggers at Roselynn. With his grandfather and father staying
silent, he grudgingly muttered, “I’m sorry.”
“You’re sorry? Sorry for what?” Roselynn asked indifferently.
“Keep quiet, Henrietta. Let him speak for himself!” Roselynn was actually

However, Jamison felt that Roselynn was deliberately trying to show off her
utter disregard for women. I won’t allow him to get away with it so easily!
“Watch your language, Jamison!” Henrietta stepped in to stop him.
Suddenly, Hermann interjected, “Oh, shut up, Henrietta!”
He had reached his limit and would not allow Roselynn to trample all over
or not?”
“F*ck! If you refuse to delete them, I’ll tear down your house right now!”
“D*mn it, you’re just testing my patience!” Emerson, never known for his
