Chapter 818
“M-Ms. Quillen?” Silas thought he was seeing things when he saw Mackenzie.
The heiress of the Quillen family actually appeared in the Oatley residence in
the middle of the night? What’s going on?!
Seeing Mackenzie, he looked as if a mouse had encountered a cat. The three
Oatley women were also gnashing their teeth, appearing frustrated and
helpless.
“What do you intend to do to Roselynn?”
Seeing the scene before her, Mackenzie quirked her brow slightly, exuding an
unbearable cold pressure.
“W-We haven’t done anything to her.” Silas quickly forced a smile and waved
his hand.
Knowing that Silas couldn’t be depended on anymore, Jennifer gritted her
teeth and said, “Roselynn stabbed my son. We will make her pay for sure! If
you want to interfere, don’t blame us for being rude to you!”
Unfazed by her fierce appearance, Mackenzle coldly chuckled, “Would
Roselynn have done that if your son hadn’t done anything to her?”
“You-”
Jennifer was already furious, and now unable to argue her point, she saw
Mackenzie’s followers pouring into the Oatley residence. With resolve, shel
shouted, “Guards, arrest these three!”
Silas immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Jennifer was acting recklessly.
The woman in front of them was the heiress of the Quillen family, for heaven’s
sake!
Alas, ignorance was bliss indeed.
She was courting death, and they didn’t want to accompany her.
“Stop!”
Sebastian descended the second-floor staircase in the critical moment,
halting everyone. His hands were both bloody, a horrifying sight.
Ms. Quillen, this is our family matter. Please don’t interfere!”
Sebastian’s mind was everywhere. He couldn’t let Roselynn go after seeing
his son’s condition, but he also couldn’t afford to antagonize Mackenzie,
especially since their families had just negotiated a cooperation.
“Yes, I indeed have no right to interfere in your family’s matters, nor do I want
1. However, Roselynn is my husband’s sister. I can’t stand by and watch her
suffer!” Mackenzie was adept at her words, and the phrase “can’t stand by
and watch her suffer” left the Oatleys momentarily speechless.
Roselynn was deeply grateful. Her brother had truly married an extraordinary
wife! Besides her stunning looks, she also protected her family so dearly. If
her brother didn’t cherish such a wife, he truly deserved the worst fate
imaginable!
At this time, the sound of an ambulance outside provided both sides some
time to calm down.
Medical personnel quickly used a stretcher to carry Jaxton, whose lower body
was soaked in blood, and placed him into the ambulance.
“Son! Jaxton! Stay strong!
“You must save my son’s life!”

Jennifer cried to the medical staff with tears and snot, then turned around
fiercely, hysterically shouting, “See that? You all saw that, didn’t you?! Look at
what this wicked woman has done to my son. She’s not going anywhere
tonight! She must pay for this!”
A woman going crazy was terrifying and also the most irrational. If Silas
hadn’t firmly held her back, she would’ve rushed over and fought Roselynn.
“I advise you not to lay another hand, or you’ll definitely regret it!” Emmanuel
quickly positioned himself in front of Mackenzie, unafraid of the many
members of the Oatley family. The two women behind him were his most
beloved, and he wouldn’t let anyone harm them even slightly.
Mackenzie, of course, was also unafraid, paying no attention to the crazed
Jennifer. She just looked up at Sebastian and said, “Mr. Oatley, you’re the
decision-maker in this family. If I want to take Roselynn away now, will you
stop me?”
Sebastian’s face shifted with uncertain darkness.
All eyes were on him, and the pressure felt immense.
Mackenzie and Emmanuel could leave at any time, but where would his pride
lay if he dared not pursue the matter and even let Roselynn go? How could
he explain to his wife and children?
“Mr. Oatley, I regret what happened in your family today. If you’re still sincere
about cooperating with Terence Group, I can give you a 5% discount!”
With her perceptive gaze, Mackenzie naturally knew Sebastian’s current
predicament and mindset. She immediately provided him with an out.
“Thank you, Ms. Quillen. The Oatley family is definitely sincere about
cooperating with Terence Group!” Sebastian quickly expressed his stance.
Facing off Mackenzie was beyond his capacity and courage. Naturally, he
went along with the path she paved.
“In that case, goodbye!” Mackenzie wasted no more time and immediately
left.
Her chilling and formidable aura and Emmanuel’s protection allowed the
three of them to pass through unobstructed.
“Sebastian! Have you gone mad? Are you really going to let that woman
leave? Are you still a man? You coward!” Jennifer redirected her overflowing
anger toward her husband when she saw the three leaving their house
unscathed.
“Shut up!” Sebastian reprimanded her coldly.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Silas didn’t dare to interrupt. He could only say, “Sebastian, Jennifer, it’s
getting late. I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll head back now!”
With that, he left with his entourage.

“Sigh, such a family tragedy!” Selina couldn’t help but feel a bit of
schadenfreude as she commented before leaving with her father.
Gradually, others left as well.
Inside the villa, only Sebastian and his family of three remained.
“Jessica, go and check on your brother’s condition. Let me know the doctor’s
diagnosis as soon as possible!”
“Okay, Dad.” Jessica didn’t want to stay at home that night either, avoiding
having to pick sides between her parents.
She could understand both her parent’s viewpoints. One was protecting their
son, and the other was safeguarding their interests. Neither of them was
wrong, right?
In the spacious villa, only the husband and wife remained, and Sebastian
instructed Jennifer sternly, “You, come into the room!”
Jennifer gnashed her teeth, tidied her disheveled waves of hair, and followed
Sebastian into their room, waiting to see what the man was up to.
“Go take a shower!” Sebastian ordered despite the hint of disdain lacing eyes
as he watched his wife enter.
Then, he fetched a medicine bottle from a drawer and reluctantly swallowed
a few pills.
“You… Have you gone mad?!”
Jennifer knew what those pills were-sildenafil.
After contemplating for a moment, she looked at him with contempt and
scolded, “Sebastian, you’re truly a coward! An utterly useless man! Our son
was stabbed by a woman, and instead of avenging him, you want to vent
your frustrations on your wife?! Are you even capable? How many years has
it been since we slept together?”
“Shut up!”
Sebastian was already in a bad mood because of his son’s embarrassing
incident. Yet, this woman kept blabbering in his ear, making him increasingly
grim and annoyed by the second. At that, he shoved her onto the bed.
The more he acted this way, the more Jennifer refused to keep quiet. She
even became more agitated as she continued, “Why should I shut up? With a
father like you, Jax is truly pitiful! What’s the point of earning so much money?
The Oatley family is going to end with you-”
Slap!
Sebastian finally couldn’t bear it anymore and slapped her hard across the
face.
For a moment, Jennifer felt dizzy and disoriented, her eyes filled with shock
and anger.
After being married to this man for over thirty years, this was truly the first
time she had experienced such treatment.
“I told you to shut up, so shut up! Why are you blabbering so much? Do you
think you’re clever? You’re the dumbest one of all!
“We’re in a life-and-death struggle with the Quillen family now. What can we
gain from it? If we make a big fuss, not only will we lose our business, but we
might even go bankrupt!
“Can our son go back to how he used to be then? Not only would we have
nothing left, but we wouldn’t even have a decent life for the rest of our lives.
Do you understand, you foolish woman?”
