Just then, Barlow's smile faded as he noticed a message from Rosalyn. Ceasing his banter with Karina, he dialed Rosalynn.

“Rosalynn."

“How's Karina? Is she okay?" Rosalynn queried.

Casting a glance at Karina, Barlow allowed a smile.

"She's more than okay. We're actually arguing spiritedly."

As she blinked, Karina gestured for Barlow's phone.

“Is that Rosalynn? Let me speak with her."

Barlow nodded and handed over the phone,

“Rosalynn “Karina, I'm so sorry you got dragged into this mess," Rosalynn apologized.

Karina shook her head.

"You don't have to apologize. It's not your fault. It's all on your bizarre mother-in-law."

Rosalynn paused before saying, “Brian talked to his uncle. Although my mother-in-law wanted to use you to threaten me, she never intended for anyone to rape you. Donn acted on his own,"

Upon hearing this, Karina realized that Rosalynn was defending Noemi.

“Rosalynn, even if she didn't instruct Donn, she had no business interfering in your marriage."

“I've given her a lesson she won't forget," Rosalynn replied.

She then filled Karina in on the events that led to Noemi's collapse and hospitalization.

“Wow, Rosalynn, you're incredible! But how does Brian feel about all this?" Karina asked, widening her eyes.

Rosalynn pursed her lips.

“He's furious. He's mad that I acted without consulting him first."

Karina inquired, "And what's next? Is he considering a divorce?"

Rosalynn hesitated, “I don't know. He believes that I value you more than him. He even said that he's been the one chasing after me all this time, as if I'm some queen who can decide to stay with or Leave him whenever I wish

As she spoke, Rosalynn's eyes began to redden. Was Brian truly feeling aggrieved?
