Chapter 546
The two men were dressed impeccably like some wealthy individuals, but
Roselynn recognized the older man as Jaxton’s relative, whom she had seen
at their wedding.
At this moment, the old man was surprised to see her and exclaimed, “Oh, it’s
you. Aren’t you Jaxton’s wife?” He had no idea her brother had married the
famous young miss from the Quillen family. Also, he still believed she had
shamelessly married into the Oatley family and was nothing more than a
gold digger.
“Hello, uncle,” Roselynn said. She couldn’t be bothered to remember the old
man’s name, so she just gave him a perfunctory greeting.
“You’re Roselynn, aren’t you? What brings you here? Do you work here?” The
old man kept talking, his eyes glinting with superiority. When he saw her
holding a thermos and a bowl, he assumed she was the company’s janitor.

could not believe that his cousin’s wife was a janitor. Jaxton is a company
CEO, and I can’t believe he married someone like her.
Nevertheless, she noticed the contempt in their gaze and chose to disregard
them. Birds of a feather, I guess. Jaxton’s family looks down on people who
aren’t as well off as they are, and his relatives are made of the same cut of
cloth. She had been trying to get a divorce for a while, but her mother had
vetoed it, and since they were at a standstill, she refused to return to her
husband’s home. This short but unpleasant encounter only solidified her
decision.
While taking her silence as embarrassment, Cain Unger felt smug about
himself and mocked, “Good work getting a job here, but you’re Jaxton’s wife,
Couldn’t you get a job at their company? It’s better than working a lowly job
here, or you can work for me. I can open up a position for you.”
Roselynn smiled and replied, “Sorry, but I don’t think I’ll be able to handle the
job well.”
After hearing this, he felt even more smug and uttered, “Ah, I can understand
that you want to take it easy. You’re still young and fresh, after all.” Hah! Let’s
see how you’ll fare once you grow old and wrinkly.
The hidden message was not lost on her, but she still ignored him. He can pat
his own back all he wants.
However, her cold response did not quell Cain’s desire to brag but fueled his
fire. “Still, men are different, and we have to work hard. That’s why I raised my
son strictly. He got his master’s degree from a foreign university. Hence, we
came here today to negotiate a deal with Terence Group’s CEO,”
Roselynn rolled her eyes in response. “I see,” she said in an offhand manner.
Her desultory response irked ‘Richie and his father. Hmph, that’s a peasant for
you. They’ll never work their way up the ladder. Useless, all of them. She has
no idea how much of an honor it is to even talk to Terence Group’s CEO. Not a
lot of people can get this chance.

At this moment, Lexi and Beatrix had just left Mackenzie’s room and
happened to pass by the waiting room.
When Richie and Cain noticed them, they quickly approached the two ladies,
simpering at them. They didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity because
these ladies were the top members of this organization.
“Ms. Beatrix, Ms. Summerton-” Cain said, but the ladies weren’t even looking
at him.
However, Beatrix ignored them and approached Roselynn, looking excited.
“Roselynn! Oh, you should’ve called. Came to see Mackenzie, yes?”
“Yes.” Roselynn nodded.
A happy Beatrix quickly held her hand and said, “Just in time, Roselynn. I’ll take
you to her. Come with me.” She wanted Mackenzie to talk to Roselynn about
what had happened between Emmanuel and Sarah.
“Um-” Cain was perplexed and concerned when he noticed Roselynn
heading to Mackenzie’s office. Hey, we came here first. Why does she get to
go before us? Is she somehow related to the Quillen family or something?
