The person that Rosalynn cherished the most?

ALL eyes turned to Brian.

Brian glanced at Barlow but chose to remain silent.

Barlow chuckled as he met Brian's gaze.

"Brian, don't get ahead of yourself. The person Rosalynn holds dear isn't you, but her best friend, Karina."

Rosalynn was at a loss for words.

Barlow was really good at stirring up trouble.

The icy aura next to her seemed to intensify!

“How did you manipulate Rosalynn?" Selina inquired, intrigued.

"I told Rosalynn that if she didn't spend the night with me, I'd pursue Karina. Once I had her heart, I'd abandon her, leaving her in despair.

Rosalynn knew I was capable, so she had no choice but to comply."

After a pause, Barlow added, “I also mentioned that this would be an excellent chance to put Brian to the test. If rumors circulated, would Brian trust her unquestionably or not. If he didn't trust her, I could take her away anytime.”

The room fell into silence as Barlow's words lingered in everyone's mind.

His firm and seemingly reasonable words made an impact on everyone present.

Debora, indifferent to others' beliefs, put her trust in Barlow.

"The Hughes family owes you. Your anger might have Led to actions that people misunderstood; I understand where you were coming from.

I still believe you're a good-hearted person who's not afraid to shoulder responsibility. And as for Rosalynn, I have unwavering faith in her character.

I've reached an age where I don't desire much else. All I wish for is that we can sit together and share a meal like we did today. How about that, Brian?"

Debora sighed, her words genuine yet tinged with a sense of helplessness and hope.

As she grew older, her fervent hope remained for a harmonious family where love and respect prevailed among its members

“I've always had faith in Rosalynn," Brian responded, his Lips pressed together.

He maintained his grip on Rosalynn's hand, their palms damp from the sweltering weather.
