Chapter 212
“We know what Jamison did was wrong, Alessandra. He should not have
allowed others to insult and slander you. Please, allow me to formally
apologize on his behalf,” Hermann said while gritting his teeth. Although he
did not want to say that, he felt he had no other option. We had no idea that
Emmanuel and Roselynn would be able to trounce us to such an
embarrassing degree. They have indeed become wiser!
“Dad, y–you-” Due to her fear, Alessandra was at a loss for words.
Instead of waiting around, he toasted the Lowe family with a drink. “Come, a
toast. I hope you can forgive us after this.”
Despite the insincerity of his apology, Emmanuel and Roselynn were at a loss
for what to do in response.
“Manny, Roselynn, why don’t we just forget about this?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt this moment, Alessandra found herself caving into his father’s words. It is
quite unusual for my dad to communicate in such a subdued manner, and it
would be impolite of us to refuse the Cadigans‘ request for forgiveness.
“We can delete the post, but only on one condition,” Roselynn stated. As she
was not well–educated, she decided to be blunt and direct. “Return to us all
the money you took from my mom and the money you borrowed from us.
Then, we’ll delete the post.”
“That-“Hermann’s face turned red instantly.
On the other hand, Jamison, who had not spoken, immediately roared, “Are
you trying to kill us, Roselynn? We’re not that rich!”
“I don’t care!” She was obstinate and continued coldly, “It sounds like you
didn’t plan on paying us back from the start. Also, you have a lot of money to
pay for hate comments and views. How are you out of money now? As if
anyone would believe you!”
“I-” After a pause, he cried out, “I didn’t spend that much on paid comments
and views!”
“You didn’t spend that much? Do you think we’re kids?” Roselyrin retorted
coldly. “It costs at least 150 thousand to push a topic to be one of the top 10
trending topics.”
“I-” Jamison was at a loss for words. He was not that old, so he knew how
much it cost but did not know why or who paid for it. No matter how he tried
to explain himself to her at this point, she would just think he was trying to
make excuses. By the end, he was fuming with rage and on the verge of
exploding.
“Darn! You want us dead, don’t you? Then-” At this moment, Emerson
considered calling the whole thing off.
However, halfway through his sentence, Emmanuel shot to his feet. The glint
in his eyes and the commanding presence he exuded had Emerson

Dang it! Even if Emerson wished to attack the Lowe family, he could not win a
fight against a former military member.
“Alessandra, we don’t have that much money!” Hermann was aware of the
Lowe family’s weakness, so his focus was always on his daughter.
Alessandra’s heart softened upon hearing her father’s plea, and she turned
to whisper to Roselynn. “Don’t push them too hard. After all, they are your
grandfather and uncles.”
“Hmph! When did we gain relatives like them?” Roselynn huffed. Despite her
sharp retort, she was also a woman with a tender heart. Concerned that her
mother might be caught between a rock and a hard place due to their
actions, she decided to make some concessions. “We could sign a contract
explicitly stating that all the money you took from my mom and borrowed
from us would be paid back within ten years. In addition, the six thousand you
owe Manny must be repaid within three days. He needs the money for his
wife’s gift.”
Soon, her declaration caused the room to fall silent.
