Chapter 1896
And Jennifer’s case finally ended. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
When Rosalynn brought Ivy home, they bumped into Frederic’s family by chance.
Shockingly enough, they were not the picture of grief that Rosalynn had expected.
They were a young couple, who didn’t seem the least bit upset as they chatted with Kate.
“We ran into them yesterday when we got back” Erica told Rosalynn. “They’re Frederic’s son and daughter-in-law. Apparently, Frederic lost his wife early on and raised his son all by himself. But the son was ungrateful, always just asking Frederic for money. His daughter-in-law wasn’t much better to
Frederic.”
Erica’s brow furrowed as she spoke. “Every time Frederic came home, they treated him like dirt. Yet, the house they lived in and the car they drove were all bought by Frederic. Now that Frederic’s gone, they’ve got a big fat compensation check. They couldn’t even fake being upset about their father’s
death.”
Erica was getting more and more worked up.
“Why on Earth would Kate give them compensation knowing what kind of people they are?” Erica stamped her foot in frustration.
Rosalynn rubbed her back in consolation, “Frederic died while working for the Scott family, they were legally obliged to compensate to his family. Also…”
She glanced at Kate.
Kate’s face wore a heavy expression too.
“Kate was just trying to do the last thing possible for Frederic, for his son.”
The relationship between parents and children can be the most complicated of all.
Rosalynn had encountered Frederic before, he was a man of strong principles and high self-discipline.
By any normal standard, he should have stopped caring about his son after being treated like that.
But year after year, he kept giving them money.
Maybe, his biggest worry before he died was still his child
So, no matter how much Kate disliked them, she would still give the money to Frederic’s son.
Not for anything else, but to give Frederic some peace in the afterlife,
“Alright…”
Erica heaved a helpless sigh.
