Before Rosalynn and Wayne could respond, Shawn, seeming to have made a major decision, said firmly, "I've got a suggestion, Ms. Tesdal. Could you help me set up a meeting? I want to bring the friends who have offended Erica before to apologize to her in person, to cool her down. And maybe we can tell Jacob to stop this nonsense! I'm sure Erica doesn't want Jacob to end up making enemies from all sides, does she?"
After hearing Shawn's words, Rosalynn couldn't help but chuckle.
"Mr. Shawn, why do I hear a hint of self-pity in your voice? Wasn't it because Erica had no one to protect her when you and your group bullied her before? That's why you felt so free to do as you pleased, right?"
"Ms. Tesdal..." Shawn's voice turned grave.
"I was there when Larry was bullying Erica." Rosalynn’s voice was icy. "You think an apology would make everything like it never happened?"
"But wasn't Erica's image really bad back then?"
Rosalynn's expression instantly turned cold, "Is that an excuse? Even if the someone is a prostitute, if she says no, then it's no! Do you understand?"
When she first started dating Wayne, the rich guys around him didn't treat her like a human being.
To them, she was just one of Wayne's pretty playthings.
She had no idea how many malicious and lustful eyes were cast upon her.
The difference was, Wayne would not allow his belongings to be coveted.
And Jacob, as if punishing Erica, watched with jealousy and anger, yet allowed her to be bullied.
At first, it was out of punishment and anger, but later...it became a habit.
"...Ms. Tesdal, what do you suggest we do, what would make you help?" Shawn asked after a long silence, sounding resigned. "If Jacob keeps this up, people will target him for sure. You wouldn't want him to end up in a dead-end, would you?"
"I'll talk to him." Rosalynn replied, then hung up.
"You don't like him?" Wayne asked.
Although he didn't remember now, he had already figured out who was who and what their family backgrounds were.
Rosalynn was a very clear-headed person, she only disliked someone when they were not nice to her.
So...Wayne quietly added Shawn to his blacklist.
"Since you don't like him, let Jacob deal with him," Wayne continued, "If you bully others, you have to pay a price."
Rosalynn set down her coffee, saying, "I'm just worried that Jacob will...go too far, attract endless trouble, and those people might blame Erica for it."
Their pleasant afternoon tea time was completely ruined by this call.
Rosalynn packed up some pastries and went back to the hospital with Wayne.
Paige was holding the baby, her eyes full of affection.
