Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 817
âJennifer, what happened?â
1/5
SM
The middle-aged man leading the group was one of Sebastianâs younger
brothers, Silas. He was followed by three Oatley family bodyguards and a
woman.
Roselynn recognized the woman from the wedding-Selina Oatley.
Due to the incident with the stolen necklace at the wedding, Selinaâs
reputation had been tarnished. Unable to confront the Quillens, she had
quietly shifted her resentment toward Roselynn. So, when she looked at
Roselynn now, her gaze was filled with hostility.
âSilas, you came just in time! This woman castrated my son!â Jenniferâs face
was contorted with hatred as she pointed at Roselynn.
âWhat?!â Silas exclaimed in shock, clutching his own groin instinctively.
It had to be noted that Jaxton was Sebastianâs only son.
âGet her! Donât go easy on her. She must pay for what sheâs done! Lock her
up!â Selina immediately ordered the three bodyguards.
âI dare you to come near me!â Roselynn wasnât one to be easily intimidated.
Before the bodyguards could reach her, she brandished the scissors, her
back against the table, and confronted them with determination.
âItâs Jaxtonâs own fault! He tried to force himself on me!â Roselynn shouted
defiantly.
Unfortunately, no one present would take her side.

Selina sneered. âJaxton wanted to force himself on you? Even if itâs true, so
what? Youâre his wife. How he treats you is his prerogative. Youâre but a cheap
woman playing hard to get!â
Her words were met with unanimous agreement from everyone present.
They dispersed, encircling Roselynn. In any case, they couldnât let her escape
tonight.

Lucy hid outside the hall, afraid to enter, watching Roselynn face so many
enemies alone, feeling helpless.
âGet her!â
At Selinaâs command, the three bodyguards began to close in on Roselynn.
Roselynn gritted her teeth. She knew she couldnât overpower these people,
but she still showed no fear. She shouted loudly, âCome at me if youâre not
afraid to die! Killing one wonât cost me much, and killing two would be a
bonus! Come on!â
Seeing her fearless appearance, the three bodyguards were slightly
apprehensive. They were just earning their wages; who would want to risk
their lives?!
At this critical impasse, the piercing sound of an engine came from outside
the door.
âRoselynn! Can you hear me?!â
Hearing Emmanuelâs voice, Roselynn felt relieved and surprised at the same
time. It had only been two hours since she called Emmanuel. How could he
arrive so quickly?!
âManny, come in and save me!â Roselynn quickly responded aloud.
Bam!
The next moment, the gated entrance to the Oatley residence was forcefully
kicked open by Emmanuel.
The deafening noise sent shivers down everyoneâs spines inside.
Who on earth is this? They actually managed to kick open the iron gate!
âRoselynn!â Emmanuel stormed into the Oatley residenceâs hall at once.
Before anyone could discern his figure, he had already positioned himself
before his sister like a gust of wind.
Roselynn let out a breath she didnât realize she had been holding. With her
little brother by her side, she feared nothing, not even in the darkest of
situations.
Not only Emmanuel but Mackenzie also entered the hall soon after. An icy
atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire space.
