Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 835
âWhat are you doing, hesitating, Sebastian? Hurry and agree!â Jennifer
exclaimed with elation.
She had been holding back her frustration, unable to act out, for the past
couple of days because of her husbandâs fear of the Quillen familyâs
influence.
Now, blessed be, they had encountered one of the Zovinceâs Four Geniuses
doing charity work at the hospital. Theyâd be utter fools if they didnât seize the
opportunity to overthrow the Quillen family!
âShut up!â Despite feeling tempted, Sebastian didnât allow Jennifer to babble
Jennifer hit the roof, thinking her husband was a total pushover. She couldnât
believe he was still afraid to confront the Quillens even at this point.
The Oatley siblings, too, felt the same way-their fatherâs image in their
hearts took a big hit.
Mr. Magnus, who is this friend you speak of?â
SK,
âThe Lenoir Group!â Magnus smiled. âIâm close with the Lenoirs, who are also
prominent figures in the energy industry of Yeringham, as youâre probably
aware.â
âAh, the Lenoir Group!â Despite having a moment of realization, Sebastian
wasnât excited.
Lenoir Group was certainly a major corporation to the Oatleys. Still, its
strength was widely recognized to be inferior to the Quillensâ.
From a business standpoint, even if the Lenoir Group offered them the same
terms as the Quillens, they would undoubtedly opt for cooperation with the
Quillen family.
âWhat do you think, Mr. Oatley?â
Magnus couldnât appear overly enthusiastic since he was there for charity
work and was only helping out as an apology to Jessica. Now that Sebastian
excessive edgerness could backfire and arouse
suspicions of impure motives.
âThank you for your kind offer, Mr. Magnus. Can you allow me three days to
consider?â
âWhat?!â
Upon hearing Sebastianâs hesitation and his intention to consider, his family
exclaimed in shock. They couldnât believe he hesitated at the extraordinary
opportunity.
âVery well then.â Magnus turned and walked away.
âWait, Mr. Magnus!â Jessica hurriedly approached, taking the chance to say,
âPlease leave your contact information. Once my father makes a decision,
weâll get in touch with you immediately!â
Magnus nodded, then had Blake provide her with the contact details before
leaving the hospital.
âSebastian Oatley, you coward! What on earth are you thinking?!â Jennifer
immediately launched into a furious tirade against her husband as soon as
Magnus left. âIs making a little extra money so important to you? Are you not
going to avenge your son? What are you, a slave to money?! Are you
planning to let money be there for you till the end?â
A string of accusations left Sebastian with a darkened expression. Yet, he
didnât respond in kind, just giving a cold snort. âHmph! A womanâs
perspective!â Then, he left the ward.
Jennifer and their kids might be clueless, but how could he, a 30-year
veteran in the business world, not know what Magnus had in mind?
Would the genius be compassionate enough to do charity work for their
family?! If anything, they were just pawns at his disposal!
Once they served their purpose of being used against the Quillens, they
would surely be discarded.
Sure, Sebastian was driven by his desire for profit, but he was always aware
that without a strong connection, not even family ties, relationships in the
business world were fickle.
Furthermore, he didnât believe that the Quillen family would collapse just
because they withdrew. On the contrary, they might truly face a catastrophe
if they angered the Quillens.
âMom, what should we do now?â Jaxton frantically grasped his own hair in the
ward, full of regret to the point of wanting to tear it out.
Not only had he failed to teach his wife a lesson, but his wife even castrated
him. If this news got out, he wouldnât want to live anymore!
But before he died, he was determined to make Roselynn miserable.
âWhat else can we do? Do you expect to seek revenge openly with a father as
cowardly as yours? Hmph, only if he dies!â
