Chapter 1064: Emmett's rage left him speechless. With a trembling hand, he pointed at Elsa, itching to strike her but stopping himself at the last moment. “You're nothing but trouble!" A resounding bang echoed as Emmett stormed out, slamming the door behind him. Outside, he ranted to his brother, saying, "Why did I ever end up with her? Look at the chaos she has brought down on my sons! What kind of mother behaves like that? Her constant need for control is suffocating!" Flint let out a weary sigh. "You've spent decades together. Are you really going to divorce her now?" Irritation simmered in Emmett's voice. "I have to. If I let this go on, she'll destroy the whole family. Kenny had a good life with his wife, but Elsa just had to interfere. Even while Kenny's wife was pregnant, Elsa still tried to break them apart. A nurse toldthat she shoved Kenny's wife on purpose. How did I not see how vicious she was before?" Flint shook his head. "She has really crossed a line. Disliking someone is one thing, but she's got no right to harm them. Now, Kenny's fighting just to keep his wife safe, and from now on, he'll probably see Elsa as his enemy." Emmett said, "With a personality like hers, she'd turn any household upside down. I've had enough of living with her all these years. I can't take it anymore. You can't imagine what I've endured all these years. If I don't bend to her will, she throws tantrums. Kenny's the only one who could tolerate her, and now, even he's had enough. She has managed to push everyone away." Sulking in silence, Elsa sat by herself in the hospital room. Usually, she would have called her mother to unload her frustrations, but with her mother ill and preparing for surgery that afternoon, she was left without her usual confidante. Kenny had just cout of surgery, so he wasn't an option, either, and her daughter-in-law was out of the question; she probably hated her now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat narrowed her options to Ethan.
She was just about to call him when the door swung open, and he stepped in, his face dark with anger.
Thirty minutes spent waiting outside the operating room and talking with medical staff had left him fully briefed on what had happened.
"How's Kenny, Ethan?" Elsa walked over and grabbed his arm anxiously.
Trying hard to contain his anger, Ethan pried her hand off and answered in a cold voice, "He hasn't cto yet, but the doctors said the operation went smoothly. They got to him quickly, and since he's still young, he should recover. We'll know more when he wakes up." Elsa sat down with him on the sofa. "Why are you being so cold to me? I didn't intend for any of this to happen. If Rosanna hadn't spoken so harshly, things wouldn't have escalated to this. She knows I'm Kenny's mother and still shows no respect to me." Irritation flashed in Ethan's eyes. Years of knowing Elsa had taught him that her favorite habit was shifting the blame.
"Enough. Can you stay out of Kenny and Rosanna's affairs from now on?" he said.
The suggestion didn't sit well with Elsa at all. "How can you accuseof interfering? I only want the best for m Kenny. Rosanna co anna comes from an ordinary family; she's simply not a good match for Kenny. Look at your father and me, both holding prestigious positions in the military, and you're the world's richest man. Our family is privileged. Her family can't compare."
After a pause, she continued, "Brenna, at least, comes from a wealthy family; her mother's a m university professor, and she carries herself with class now, even though she was raised in the Barrett family. Rosanna is nothing like that. I absolutely refuse to accept her as part of our family."
