Chapter 813


    If Lucy hadn’t revealed the secret to her earlier, Roselynn would’ve thought


    Jennifer had gone mad upon hearing those words.


    The soup was absolutely not to be consumed, but outright refusal without


    evidence would make it difficult to corner this mother-son pair. Ultimately, if


    suspicions arose, it would be Lucy who would suffer the consequences.


    Roselynn wasn’t foolish. She responded with an enigmatic smile and said,


    “Jaxton’s mom, hearing you say that, I almost thought you had a wire loose in


    your head! Who’d have thought you’re actually so sweet?!”


    Jennifer’s lips twitched. What does she mean by “actually so sweet?” Does


    this woman think of her as some scheming, wicked mother-inw?! This is


    absolutely preposterous!


    Despite being livid, Jennifer forced a smile and said, “Roselynn, our conflicts


    are just about family rules. As long as you behave well, I will definitely treat


    you well! Come, you haven’t had your dinner tonight, so I especially had the


    servant make you some soup. Drink it while it’s hot…”


    With a single nce, Lucy handed the bowl of soup to Roselynn.


    “Set it aside for now. I’m not hungry yet,” Roselynn replied calmly. However,


    Jennifer’s mission was yet to bepleted; there was no way she would


    walk away just like that.


    She had Lucy serve a small bowl of soup and personally handed it to


    Roselynn, saying, “Soup is best enjoyed hot. Come, have some!”


    With Jennifer being this amodating, it was up to Roselynn whether she


    dared to refuse.


    In truth, it wasn’t that Roselynn didn’t dare; she simply couldn’t. If she knocked


    the bowl over now, it would prove that Lucy had warned her in advance,


    which would ultimately harm the poor servant. So, she had no choice but to


    ept the bowl and take a small sip.


    “Enjoy your soup. I’ll take my leave!” Jennifer smiled.


    Naturally, she had been maintaining a facade in front of Roselynn all this while, and even she could


    hardly contain herself. Upon seeing that Roselynn


    had taken a small sip of the soup, she left at once.


    After the door closed, Roselynn quickly spat out the soup.


    “Hmph, trying to harm me? It won’t be so easy!”


    Roselynn was both shocked and furious. The idea of a mother-inw


    drugging her daughter-inw was unheard of!


    “How can I continue living in a family like this?!”


    She was deeply troubled. With udette gone, she had no one to confide in


    about her frustrations. After thinking it through, she could only call her


    younger brother.


    At this moment, Emmanuel had just arrived home with his wife. When he


    received Roselynn’s call, he was equally shocked and concerned.


    “What? You said your mother-inw drugged you? That’s insane!”


    w


    “Yeah! What should I do now, Manny? Jaxton will definitelye to force


    himself on meter!” Roselynn expressed her concerns.


    She had pretended to be under the influence. Unless something unexpected


    happened, Jaxton would likely burst into her room any time soon.


    “Don’t worry, sis. I’ll head to the Oatley residence right away to save you!”


    Emmanuel couldn’t ignore his only sister. He couldn’t let Jaxton Oatley do


    whatever he pleased, even if he was her legal husband.


    “What’s wrong? Is someone from the Oatley family causing trouble for your


    sister?” Mackenzie happened to be nearby and overheard the conversation.


    She, too, appeared quite angry.


    As a woman, she could deeply empathize with Roselynn’s pain.


    She hadn’t wanted to marry Emmanuel at first, but she was lucky that he, her


    legal husband, had never taken advantage of her.


    However, Roselynn wasn’t so lucky. She was now in the lion’s den, and


    preserving herself was bing exceedingly difficult.


    “Yes! Mackenzie, I have to go to my sister right away. I can’t leave her alone


    and defenseless!” Emmanuel said anxiously.

    It was a three-hour drive from here to the Oatley residence, and he worried


    he wouldn’t make it in time.


    “I’ll go with you.” Mackenzie thought for a moment before making her


    decision.


    Although the Quillen family was currently in a predicament, the Oatleys still


    feared her and hoped to gain benefits from her family. So, as long as she


    interfered, the Oatleys wouldn’t dare touch Roselynn.


    “Okay!”
