Malcom's family stood there, slack-jawed, staring at Rosalynn. The tantrums and tears were stuck in their throats, unable to find their way out.
Finally, it was Paul who snapped out of it first, his gaze fixed on Rosalynn, "Mrs. Silverman, when it all comes down to it, this is our family business. The little bit that Great-Grandma left behind is nothing more than what your family spends in a month! Why the heck do you have to stick your nose in?"
"How many times do I have to say it for you to get it through your thick skull? I'm upholding Brisa's last wishes. Whoever she left her things to, that's who gets them. If you want to change that, you're crossing Brisa. And crossing Brisa means crossing my husband. And if you cross my husband, you sure as hell won't have an easy time with me," Rosalynn laid out her logic in no uncertain terms.
Helena plopped down on the floor, started slapping her thighs, and burst into tears.b2
After all this commotion, they were going to walk away with nothing, and her son and husband had been slapped across the face. Where could she go to make this right?
It was all because that darn biased old hag favored Jameson's family!
Knowing full well that Paul was of marrying age, she had left the prime piece of real estate in H City, along with some jewelries, to Jameson for when he got hitched.
But how old was Jameson anyway?
They had assumed that Jameson and his parents were easy to push around and had planned to coerce them into transferring the property to their son.
But then, unexpectedly, this woman called Rosalynn came along stirring up trouble!
"This house is in Jameson's father's name now, isn't it?" Rosalynn turned to Jameson's father, having done her homework.
Originally, the property was in the name of Malcom, who had made a disgraceful spectacle of himself to get it during the family split.
Unfortunately, four years ago, it was Paul who, due to gambling debts, had mortgaged the family home and failed to repay the money on time.
The house was on the brink of being auctioned off.
