Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 834
A faint curve appeared at the corner of Magnusâ lips, but he quickly feigned
reluctance.
Blake also approached and gently pushed Jessica aside. âHey, donât be so
shameless. Mr. Magnus is very busy!â
Having conducted an investigation, Magnus was well aware of Jessicaâs
personality, which belonged to the conniving type. As expected, she
collapsed to the ground calculatedly, letting out a high-pitched scream to
elicit sympathy.
âMs. Oatley, are you alright?â Magnus quickly approached Jessica before
reprimanding Blake, âHow can you be so rude to a woman?!â
Blake snorted, then walked away with his hands behind his head.
âPlease help our family, Mr. Magnus, I beg of you! Weâre in a miserable
situation!â Jessica quickly seized the opportunity and held Magnusâ hand
tightly.
âWell⦠alright!â Magnus pretended to hesitate before agreeing. âTo express
my apology, I will do my best!â
On the other hand, Jessica cheered triumphantly inside while feigning a
pitiful expression on the surface. After all, all the members of the Oatley
family would commend her in the future for successfully hooking up with one
of Zovinceâs Four Geniuses!
Little did she know, Blake, observing her demeanor closely, secretly mocked,
Women are so easily fooled!
An hour later, Sebastian pushed aside all his commitments and hurriedly
arrived at the hospital with Jennifer. They went straight to their sonâs private
room.
Upon seeing the esteemed Magnus Zelinsky, Sebastian approached
excitedly and shook hands with the young man, displaying a respectful and
deferential demeanor.
âDad, Mr. Magnus is here at the hospital for charity. Iâve already told him
about Jaxtonâs situation. He sympathizes with him and says he will help us!â

While speaking, Jessica winked at her father, clearly seeking recognition.
Earlier, she deliberately exaggerated how terrible Roselynn was and how
Mackenzie bullied them, depicting the two women as evil demons.
Sebastian naturally understood what his daughter was trying to express.
However, being a shrewd veteran, he remained somewhat cautious. âIf you
donât mind me asking, Mr. Magnus. How can you help us?â he asked politely.
Magnus smiled and replied, âMs. Oatley has already given me the details. No
doubt Ms. Quillen bullied your family to control your business interests. You
wonât be under her control as long as you can break free from Terence Group
and find an alternative path. That way, you can seek justice for Mr. Jaxton
Oatley.â
Suddenly, Blake chimed in with a chuckle, âWhatâs the point for a man to
continue living when he has been emasculated? Sad, very sad!â
âAh! Iâm going to kill that woman! I want her dead! She deserves to die!â
Jaxton, lying on the hospital bed, broke down emotionally, his eyes bloodshot
as he screamed.
âJaxton, calm down! Donât be like this!â Jennifer burst into tears, seeing her
son in agony.
âAlas, a tragic tale of humanity!â Magnús also shook his head pitifully.
It was a group performance of each person trying to outdo the other, all
vying to be shameless.
âDad, quickly discuss the details with Mr. Magnus! I worked so hard to bring
this opportunity here. Itâs a once-in-a-lifetime chance!â Jessica quickly
whispered in her fatherâs ear.
Sebastian didnât hesitate either and said to Magnus, âThank you for your kind
offer, Mr. Magnus. However, our familyâs business is small, and it may be
difficult for us to break free from Terence Groupâs control.â
Magnus secretly sized the elder up; indeed, he wasnât as easily manipulated
as Jessica.
Nevertheless, he remained confident and said, âCoincidentally, I know a friend
who is also in the energy business. If I introduce him, perhaps you could
collaborate, and the profits he offers might match those of Terence Group.â
Upon hearing that, Sebastianâs face lit up with a hopeful expression.
