Chapter 482


    Two dayster, Emmanuel walked out of the police station again.


    This time, Alessandra and Roselynn were waiting for him.


    Jaxton was also there, but Roselynn ignored him. It seemed like he had


    voluntarily followed her, and the two of them were still giving each other the


    cold shoulder, locked in a silent battle.


    “Manny, are you okay?” Alessandra and Roselynn hurried toward Emmanuel,


    their faces filled with concern as soon as they caught sight of him stepping


    out.


    “Mom, Rosie, I’m fine!” Emmanuel smiled slightly.


    The very next moment, Jaxton approached with an overly cheerful


    expression, ying the role of the perfect brother–inw. He leaned against

    Emmanuel and ced a hand on his shoulder as hemented, “Great to


    see you’re all right! Come on. I’ll give you a ride home!”


    “Who asked you to give us a ride? And who are you, anyway?” Roselynn

    interjected out of the blue, causing Jaxton’s smile to freeze and leaving him


    scratching his head awkwardly.


    Fortunately, Alessandra stepped in to defuse the situation. She didn’t want


    any tensions arising in her children’s marriages, so she swiftly intervened by


    saying, “Roselynn, Jaxton didn’t mean any harm thest time. Don’t hold onto


    grudges like that! Look, he still cares about our family!”


    “That’s right!” Jaxton immediately chimed in, eager to salvage the situation.


    “Roselynn, we’re all family. If there’s any issue, let’s discuss it at home. I’m


    prepared to apologize and fulfill any request you make, but let’s not make a


    scene right outside the police station, hmm?”


    However, Roselynn wasn’t swayed by his attempts.


    She saw through his true intentions. He was nothing more than an


    opportunist, constantly adapting to the circumstances. When he learned of


    Emmanuel divorcing the youngdy of the Quillen family, he wanted to


    trample on her family. Now that Emmanuel and Mackenzie had reconciled


    and gained the full support of the Quillens, he undoubtedly sought to curry


    favor with them.


    Emmanuel brushed off Jaxton’s hand and sternly demanded, “I can let Rosie


    handle the issues between both of you, but you owe my mom an apology for


    knocking her down!”


    Jaxton sensed the determination in Emmanuel’s eyes and instantly felt a


    twinge of intimidation. How am I supposed to endure the overwhelming


    sense of danger emanating from someone who is not only Ms. Quillen’s


    husband but also a person with a dark history of ruthless acts and even


    murder?


    “Haha! Manny, you’re right!” Jaxton eximed, swiftly bowing and apologizing


    to Alessandra. “Mom, I truly didn’t mean itst time. Please forgive me! You


    can even hit me to vent your anger!”


    Alessandra, being the kind–hearted person she was, would noty a hand on


    anyone. She quickly helped him up and replied, “Alright, alright. I know it was


    an unintentional mistake on your part.”


    With that, she shifted her attention to Emmanuel and Roselynn, suggesting,


    “Are things resolved now? Let’s go home and talk things through.”


    Still standing with her arms crossed, Roselynn emitted a disdainful snort.


    “Mom, it’s your choice to forgive him, but I’m not getting in his car!”


    Jaxton immediately grew anxious. “Roselynn, if you don’t get in my car, are


    you nning to take a cab home? Please stop causing a scene, okay?”


    Just as he finished speaking, a Maserati pulled up at the scene.


    Emmanuel was slightly taken aback, thinking his wife wasing to pick him


    1. However, upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn’t his wife’s car,


    despite both cars being a Maserati.


    “Emmanuel, Mackenzie is still in a meeting at thepany, so I’vee to


    pick you up on her behalf.” A voice resonated from the rolled–down car


    window. It was Sarah.


    While she might not have possessed the same striking beauty as Mackenzie,


    Sarah, being a youngdy from a distinguished family, held her own charm.


    Her fairplexion and graceful demeanor undeniably added to her allure.


    Jaxton was taken aback for a moment, his face slightly reddening.


    He had just thought that Roselynn’s family didn’t have a ride, but here came


    a Maserati!


    However, Jaxton, who was shameless as ever, immediately donned a


    charming smile and approached Sarah, trying to establish a closer


    connection. “So, you’re Manny’s sister–inw, right? I’m his brother–inw,


    Jaxton Oatley. It’s my pleasure to meet you!”


    With those words, he extended his hand toward Sarah, hoping for a


    handshake.


    At the sight of such a scene, Roselynn felt a surge of disgust. From this small


    interaction alone, she could discern that her husband was not only an


    opportunist but also a lecher.


    This marriage was undoubtedly destined for divorce.


    “Hello! I’m Sarah Quillen.”
