Chapter 547
I
Unlike the rambunctious Beatrix, Lexi noticed the look of bewilderment on the
Unger men’s faces, and she said, “Give us a minute, gentlemen. Ms. Quillen
has no time to talk business.” Even though this is a lie, Ms. Quillen is in a foul
mood right now, and seeing Roselynn may improve her disposition.
However, Cain quickly said, “Ms. Summerton, we’re not just here for business.
I’m Roselynn’s uncle, so can you let us go in with her?” Although I am unaware
of the nature of Roselynn’s rtionship with Ms. Quillen, the fact that Ms.
Beatrix treated her with such warmth suggests they are rted. Suddenly, his
memory was jogged to his earlier conversation with Roselynn of how he had
promised to offer her a position at hispany, and he almost blushed. Me
giving her a job? As if. She has the whole Quillen family’s power backing her.
In the meantime, Richie was also shaken upon learning of Roselynn’s status.
Previously, he believed Jaxton married a useless woman solely for her
beauty, but he now understood this was not the case. He must be trying to
use his wife to build a connection with the Quillen family.
“Sorry, but not just yet.” Lexi smiled and left right away.
Roselynn likewise disregarded the Unger men as she passed by them. I’m
getting a divorce soon, so these people won’t matter much to me anymore.
“Look who’s here, Mackenzie!”
Mackenzie raised her head and rubbed her temples in response to Beatrix’s
voice. When she noticed Roselynn, even the usually distant Mackenzie said,
“Ah, Roselynn. You’re here.”
“That I am.” Roselynn wasn’t too reserved even when she was around her. She
rushed into the office after noticing Mackenzie’s signs of exhaustion and set
the bowl of chicken soup down on Mackenzie’s desk. “Mom’s dying to see you,
but I told her you’re always busy, so she made some chicken soup and told
me to bring it here.”
Touched, Mackenzie smiled and said, “Tell her I said thanks.
Roselynn nodded and expressed her concern, “You seem listless, Mackenzie.
Are the Lenoir and Verkade families putting you under a lot of stress?” She
used to work for the Lenoir family, but she quit when she found out they were
going after the Quillen family. Everyone in the city was now paying attention
to the feud between the three big families.
Then, Beatrix quickly stepped in, harrumphing. “It’s not them; it’s your stupid
brother.” She handed the phone over to Roselynn so she could see the
photos and video too.
After viewing those, Roselynn was furious, but unlike the Quillen sisters, she
knew her brother was innocent. “Someone set this up. I swear that my brother
is no cheater. I’m sorry to be blunt, but he probably has no idea how to do the
deed.”
On the other hand, Mackenzie stared at the serious Roselynn, and she almost
burst intoughter.
Nevertheless, Beatrix howled delightfully, “So, you’re saying Emmanuel is still a
virgin who has no idea how to use his willy?”
“That’s about it.” Roselynn knew this was a bit of a nder, but she knew her
brother. Lam confident in my judgment. Not only has my brother not had
sexual rtions with Mackenzie, but he would never leave his wonderful wife
alone to sleep with her sister. I don’t think he’s that type of guy.
Mackenzie’s mood improved after digesting all of their thoughts. She, like
Roselynn, did not believe that Emmanuel was a cheater, but before Roselynn
came and reassured her that he was not a cheater, she feared that she had
made a mistake in her assessment. Even though she and her husband
hadn’t been together for very long, Roselynn’s reassurance helped her feel
much more at ease.
Once again, Beatrix grumbled, “I bet that b*tch was trying to seduce him.
Emmanuel’s too stupid to see through her. I’ll rip her throat out when I see
that woman again.”
After hearing this, Mackenzie was deep in her thoughts. What’s Sarah’s true
goal for doing this? To help Felicity break us up?
The two men were dressed impably like some wealthy individuals, but
Roselynn recognized the older man as Jaxton’s rtive, whom she had seen
at their wedding.
At this moment, the old man was surprised to see her and eximed, “Oh, it’s
you. Aren’t you Jaxton’s wife?” He had no idea her brother had married the
famous young miss from the Quillen family. Also, he still believed she had
shamelessly married into the Oatley family and was nothing more than a
gold digger.
“Hello, uncle,” Roselynn said. She couldn’t be bothered to remember the old
man’s name, so she just gave him a perfunctory greeting.
“You’re Roselynn, aren’t you? What brings you here? Do you work here?” The
old man kept talking, his eyes glinting with superiority. When he saw her
holding a thermos and a bowl, he assumed she was thepany’s janitor.
Meanwhile, his son, Richie Unger, was also disdainful of Roselynn, and he
could not believe that his cousin’s wife was a janitor. Jaxton is apany
CEO, and I can’t believe he married someone like her.
Nevertheless, she noticed the contempt in their gaze and chose to disregard
them. Birds of a feather, I guess. Jaxton’s family looks down on people who
aren’t as well off as they are, and his rtives are made of the same cut of
cloth. She had been trying to get a divorce for a while, but her mother had

vetoed it, and since they were at a standstill, she refused to return to her
husband’s home. This short but unpleasant encounter only solidified her
decision.
While taking her silence as embarrassment, Cain Unger felt smug about
himself and mocked, “Good work getting a job here, but you’re Jaxton’s wife,
Couldn’t you get a job at theirpany? It’s better than working a lowly job
here, or you can work for me. I can open up a position for you.”
Roselynn smiled and replied, “Sorry, but I don’t think I’ll be able to handle the
job well.”
After hearing this, he felt even more smug and uttered, “Ah, I can understand
that you want to take it easy. You’re still young and fresh, after all.” Hah! Let’s
see how you’ll fare once you grow old and wrinkly.
The hidden message was not lost on her, but she still ignored him. He can pat
his own back all he wants.
However, her cold response did not quell Cain’s desire to brag but fueled his
fire. “Still, men are different, and we have to work hard. That’s why I raised my
son strictly. He got his master’s degree from a foreign university. Hence, we
came here today to negotiate a deal with Terence Group’s CEO,”
Roselynn rolled her eyes in response. “I see,” she said in an offhand manner.
Her desultory response irked ‘Richie and his father. Hmph, that’s a peasant for
you. They’ll never work their way up thedder. Useless, all of them. She has
no idea how much of an honor it is to even talk to Terence Group’s CEO. Not a
lot of people can get this chance.

At this moment, Lexi and Beatrix had just left Mackenzie’s room and
happened to pass by the waiting room.
When Richie and Cain noticed them, they quickly approached the twodies,
simpering at them. They didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity because
thesedies were the top members of this organization.
“Ms. Beatrix, Ms. Summerton-” Cain said, but thedies weren’t even looking
at him.
However, Beatrix ignored them and approached Roselynn, looking excited.
“Roselynn! Oh, you should’ve called. Came to see Mackenzie, yes?”
“Yes.” Roselynn nodded.
A happy Beatrix quickly held her hand and said, “Just in time, Roselynn. I’ll take
you to her. Come with me.” She wanted Mackenzie to talk to Roselynn about
what had happened between Emmanuel and Sarah.
“Um-” Cain was perplexed and concerned when he noticed Roselynn
heading to Mackenzie’s office. Hey, we came here first. Why does she get to
go before us? Is she somehow rted to the Quillen family or something?
