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-in-law?! 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 glance, Lucy handed the bowl of soup to Roselynn.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Set it aside for now. I’m not hungry yet,” Roselynn replied calmly. However,
Jennifer’s mission was yet to be completed; 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 accommodating, 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
accept 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-in-law
drugging her daughter-in-law was unheard of!
“How can I continue living in a family like this?!”
She was deeply troubled. With Claudette 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-in-law drugged you? That’s insane!”

“Yeah! What should I do now, Manny? Jaxton will definitely come to force
himself on me later!” 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“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 becoming 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!”
