Chapter 122


    He then shoved Henrietta aside and jabbed a finger at Roselynen ge he


    continued. “Men have been the head of families for thousands of years:


    young woman like you has no right to say such things: Now that your


    father is no longer around, you need to treat your uncie like your own


    father: Refusing to help him makes you an unfilial child!”


    Roselynn was so mad at them that she nearly exploded with anger

    is precisely because of this mindset that uncle Emerson ended up the way

    pressed on

    He had raised his son for forty–four years, so he absolutely refused to let


    his son die.


    As such, he was determined to get the money through any means


    necessary.


    “Exactly! Men are the ones who call the shots at home! Hurry up and pay


    us the money so we can save my dad!” Jamison added with his hands on


    his hips.


    Because he had been bullied a lot out there, nobody took him seriously. As


    such, the feeling of being in power at home felt amazing, and he took


    great pride in being a man.


    Alessandra quickly bent over to help Roselynn up.


    Thetter was so mad that she wanted to call the police on them.


    “Women are incredibly capable too! Who says men are the only ones who


    call the shots at home? If that’s the case, then I’m the man of this house!”


    someone shouted angrily from outside the door.


    “Manny!”


    Alessandra breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Emmanuel’s voice.


    Roselynn, too, regained her confidence when she saw that Emmanuel had


    returned. As domineering as she might be, she was still at a disadvantage


    if things were to get physical.


    With Emmanuel by their side, however, things would be very different.


    Sure enough, Jamison, who was acting all smug just a moment ago,


    quickly stepped aside the moment he saw Emmanuel. “Hi, Emmanuel!”


    Although Jamison was muchrger in size, the aura he exuded was far


    weaker than that of Emmanuel’s. After all, Emmanuel was a former soldier


    who had survived the battlefield.


    When faced with someone more powerful than he was, Jamison couldn’t


    help but expose his cowardly nature for all to see.


    “You darey your filthy hands on my sister?” Emmanuel asked.


    His icy–cold gaze alone was enough to make Jamison tremble in fear.


    “I-I–I didn’t! Hear me out, Emmanuel! I just got a little agitated, that’s all! I


    didn’t mean to hurt Roselynn!” Jamison stammered nervously, but


    Emmanuel ignored him and stepped forward.


    Jamison was so scared that he tripped while backing away and fell to the


    floor. ~


    Hermann stepped forward and yelled angrily, “What are you doing,


    Emmanuel? Are you trying to bully Jamison, huh? You want to fight, tough


    guy? Come on, then! Hit me!”


    Of course, Emmanuel wasn’t about to hit an old man like Hermann.


    “Calm down, Manny! Let’s just focus on resolving this problem! Your uncle


    says he needs the money within three days, or they’ll…”


    Alessandra was panicking so much that she couldn’t bring herself to


    Emerson may be a total loser, but he is still my brother!


    “Rx, Mom! I’m not going to hit anyone. I came back to help solve the


    problem,” Emmanuel reassured her before turning to face Hermann.
