Chapter 830
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
âNews? Did you present her with such news?â Rosalie inquired with her arched eyebrows.
âHow could I have shown her such news? Perhaps she stumbled upon it accidentally while playing with my phone,â Agyness replied, showing a wry smile.
âIf thatâs the case, it implies that Wrenna possesses a considerable vocabulary, given her comprehension of the news. Perhaps I should find an article and let her read it to test her understanding of its content,â Rosalie mused.
âWell⦠thereâs also a video accompanying the news!â Agyness added hastily.
âA video?â Rosalie replied icily. âWhy donât you search the internet for me for a video that includes the term âmistressâ?â At this juncture, mentioning terms like âmistressâ was confined solely to the comment section. In the videos, people dared not utter such words. Even if they did, they were -promptly muted.
Rosalie was well aware of this, having instructed Jonathan to implement measures preventing any disparaging content about Lillian.
Alongside her, Callum, too, sought ways to block these videos so they remained entirely inaccessible online.
Regarding the incident involving Rosalie that occurred on the street earlier, there was scant information available online as to what little existed had been swiftly removed.
Therefore, Rosalie found it hard to believe that Wrenna could have stumbled upon those videos.
Agyness appeared increasingly embarrassed and swiftly shifted the topic. âHowever, regardless of what occurred, Jen shouldnât have forcibly torn out Wrennaâs hair. Iâm unsure if the damaged part will ever grow back. If it doesnâtâ¦â
âIf so, arrange for a doctor to assess the damage and determine the appropriate treatment.â Rosalie added, âI will cover all the expenses.â
âThatâs all?â Agyness pondered. She was reluctant to resolve the matter so swiftly, especially since they were in the teachersâ office where several teachers were present. Displaying any vulnerability toward Rosalie now 10:10 would only invite further disdain from those teachers in the future for both her and her daughter.
Hence, Agyness asserted, âRegardless, Jen should apologize to Wrenna.â âThen let the two children apologize to each other,â Rosalie suggested. âApologize to each other?â Agyness hesitated, considering that her daughter had endured a more severe injury than Jennifer.
âIt was inappropriate for both the children to engage in such a conflict. Jenâs tearing off Wrennaâs hair was unquestionably wrong, but it stemmed from her desire to defend me and Lillian. On the other hand, Wrenna shouldnât have uttered those words, considering she is now part of the Youngblood family.
Understandably, she might not have fully grasped the concept that family rises and falls together, but you do. As a parent, itâs your responsibility to impart this lesson to your child!â
Rosalieâs comment left Agyness nearly speechless. By invoking the Youngblood family as a rationale for her stance, any insistence from Agyness on seeking an apology for Wrenna would appear unjustified and unreasonable.
Therefore, Agyness had no option but to grit her teeth and acquiesce. In the end, the two girls reluctantly apologized to each other. Only after this did Rosalie turn around, exchange pleasantries with the headteacher, and depart with the two children.
Upon settling into the car, Guillermo spoke up. âMommy, Iâm truly sorry. I failed to protect my sister.â
âThatâs not true. Iâm okay. You did a great job looking out for me, Guille!â Jennifer insisted, despite her braids, once meticulously arranged in the morning, now resembling tangled birdâs nests. Her face displayed two bruises, her clothes were in disarray, and a button was conspicuously absent.
Rosalie couldnât help but find Jenniferâs appearance amusing.
âThatâs enough. Itâs wonderful that you share a strong bond with your siblings,â Rosalie said as her hand straightened her daughterâs messy clothes. She then continued, âEven though fighting isnât the right approach, Jen, I understand you did so today because of me and Lillian. However, both of you must understand that fighting doesnât resolve issues. It often exacerbates problems, turning minor issues into major ones.â
As Guillermo listened to his mother, a glimmer of understanding 10-40 flickered in his eyes. Clearly, he comprehended that fighting was not a suitable way to resolve conflicts.
After all, the Youngblood familyâs method of nurturing their heirs was unlikely to foster recklessness.
Besides, the young lad was remarkably precocious and more intelligent than most children his age.
Meanwhile, Jennifer did not fully grasp her motherâs words, and the disagreement was evident on her young face. Clearly, she still found it more convenient to resort to fighting.
Observing her childrenâs disparate responses, Rosalie couldnât help but sigh inwardly. While her daughter was undoubtedly intelligent, her intelligence seemed channeled into different areas.
âNever mind. Youâll grasp this in the future,â Rosalie said while patting her daughterâs head.
Rosalie felt that certain things had to be experienced firsthand before true understanding could dawn on Jennifer.
However, Rosalie did not anticipate that Agyness would arrive directly at the Youngblood residence with Wrenna that same night.
Wrenna had arrived wearing a small hat on her head, but as she stepped into the living room of the Youngblood residence, Agyness removed her hat. Instantly, the bald patch on Wrennaâs hair became especially noticeable.
âMr. Youngblood, Iâve brought Wrenna here to apologize to Jen,â Agyness said, her tone apologetic.
âApologize?â Jonathan furrowed his brows slightly.
âWhatâs wrong? Hasnât Mrs. Youngblood informed you about what happened?â Agyness explained hesitantly, âToday, at the kindergarten, Wrenna inadvertently said something inappropriate.
Consequently, she was attacked by Jen, and her hair was torn off. While it was improper for Jen to resort to violence, I canât deny that it all stemmed from what Wrenna said.â
After her explanation, Agyness turned to her daughter and instructed firmly, âWrenna, apologize to Jen now!â
âOkay,â Wrenna replied. Her eyes reddened as she approached Jennifer. âJen, Iâm sorry. I shouldnât have said that Lillian is a mistress and your mother is a mistress. I-I secretly played with Mommyâs phone a few days ago, and then I saw a video mentioning that your mother had an inappropriate relationship with Mr. Smuckler. What does âimproper relationshipâ mean? Do you know?â
The childâs voice resonated through the living room. Rosalieâs heart sank upon hearing Wrennaâs words, and she immediately grasped Agynessâ strategy.
Rosalie couldnât help but think, âWhile it appears to be an apology, sheâs actually using her daughter to fuel Jonâs suspicions. Is she trying to exacerbate the conflict between Jon and me?â
Jennifer was just a child. Therefore, she couldnât grasp the true implications of those words. She simply believed Wrenna had genuinely come to apologize. âI donât know either. But regardless, you canât speak ill of my mother and Lillian anymore.â
âI-I promise. I wonât say anything inappropriate in the future. Who is your motherâs mentor? Is he close to your mother?â Wrenna continued, following her motherâs instructions.
Even though she had no desire to apologize to Jennifer, her mother insisted that if she complied with the instructions, she would be recognized as Jonathanâs true daughter in the future.
Simultaneously, Jennifer and her mother would be expelled from the Youngblood family!
Despite her reluctance, she obediently recited the words her mother instructed her to, uttering them word by word.
