Chapter 810
Roselynn was excited. If she became the owner of a fashion and cosmetics
business, she could shop at her own store every day. Just thinking about it
made her ecstatic.
Her response left Emmanuel a little amused and bemused. His sister was
indeed still the same familiar person.
“Alright, once you have your plans set, just let me know how much money
you need, and I’ll take care of it!”
“Hehe, okay! You better not just be trying to make me happy, or I’ll mangle
you!” Roselynn warned playfully, then sighed with relief after hanging up the
phone.
Married into the Oatley family and still unemployed, the pressure on her had
become overwhelming. But once she had her own career in the future and
became financially independent, she wouldn’t have to care what the Oatleys
think anymore. She wouldn’t have to fear being accused of idleness or relying
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton her sister-in-law’s influence to act arbitrarily.
Slowly and reluctantly, Roselynn returned to the Oatley residence.
At the villa’s entrance, a woman dressed in maid attire quickly whispered,
“Young Madam, why did you come back so late? Everyone is waiting for you
to have dinner!”
The maid’s name was Lucy Yeo, a girl from another province who came to
work and felt very self-conscious.
After Roselynn married into the Oatley family, she had been the best mistress
to her. Plus, Roselynn wasn’t pretentious, so Lucy’s heart had always been
inclined toward her.
Now, she was really worried that Roselynn might face criticism from the
Oatley family. After all, she had been working in the Oatley residence for over
a year and was well aware that the Oatleys were a strict, rule-abiding family.
“They can eat all they want. I didn’t ask them to wait for me!” Roselynn said in
dismissal as she walked into the villa.
Inside, the Oatleys were still sitting at the dining table, and dinner had yet to
begin.
Jessica had been married once before but had returned to live with her
family after the divorce. She couldn’t maintain her marriage due to her
inability to compromise. She wore a bitter expression as she watched
Roselynn walk in as if nothing had happened. She hoped her parents would
teach that woman a lesson.
As for Jennifer, her expression was as if a gloomy cloud was about to bring
rain.
“I’m back,” Roselynn greeted everyone expressionlessly and headed to her
room.
Seeing her attitude, Sebastian also frowned, looking displeased. Jaxton and
Jessica’s expressions only looked even worse than his. As for Jennifer, she
had reached her limit and barked, “Stop right there!”
Roselynn stopped and turned her head to look at her mother-in-law.
If it were any other woman, they would’ve trembled and apologized
immediately upon meeting their wealthy mother-in-law’s grim countenance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Roselynn reacted differently, only asking, “What’s up?”
“What’s up? Do you know what time it is? Has no one ever told you the rules of
this house?!” Jennifer scolded angrily.
Lucy and the other two Oatley servants kept their heads down, trembling in a
corner of the hall. They were terrified of Jennifer’s anger, for she was really
ferocious when upset.
“It’s seven o’clock in the evening now, so what’s the matter?” Roselynn wasn’t
intimidated by her and responded boldly, “Isn’t it normal for me to come back
at this time when I have something to attend to outside? I didn’t ask you to
wait for me to have dinner, did I?!”
“Blasphemy!” Jennifer forcefully slammed the table, adding pressure on
Sebastian. “Look at your daughter-in-law. She doesn’t respect the dining
table rules your family set! We’ve all agreed to start dinner at 6:30 p.m., yet
someone returned late without asking for leave. You deal with it yourself!”
Sebastian sighed deeply, his eyes flashing with anger.
After a while, he hoarsely said, “Roselynn, we’ll overlook it this time. Just
apologize and promise you won’t do it again.”
