Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 836
Jenniferâs words were just a fit of anger. However, Jaxton had a plan in mind.
Due to his lack of capability, even though he was the bossâ son, he couldnât
take charge of the company. He was always waiting for Sebastian to retire so
he could inherit the company.
Not only that, but he had been suppressed at home for a long time. At the
age of thirty, he was still restrained like a child. He had been waiting for too
long to become the true head of the family.
He knew the only way he could genuinely have a say in the family, and the
company was if his father died. But Sebastian was only in his fifties, healthy
and without any illnesses. No way would he die so soon.
However, neither mother nor son could have anticipated that within half an
hour, they would receive devastating news.

âThis is the Yeringham Traffic Police. Is this Jennifer Burke, the wife of
Sebastian Oatley?â
âHuh? Yes, thatâs me!â
Receiving such a phone call suddenly made Jenniferâs heart sink as a feeling
of extreme foreboding washing over her..
âI am here to inform you that Mr. Sebastian Oatley had a car accident on
Yeringham Outer Ring Road 3. Unfortunately, he collided with a small truck
and has been confirmed dead.â
âW-What?!â
Jennifer dropped her phone to the ground in shock.
Jessica also covered her mouth in anguish, tears streaming down her face.
Was their family cursed?! Now, it seemed that their family would indeed
come to an end!
Jaxtonâs expression was also one of pain and complexity. Yes, he wanted to
become the head of the family sooner, but he didnât wish for his father to die
now.
Meanwhile, at the scene of the accident on Outer Ring Road 3, A black Corolla
passed by.
While driving, Blake shook his head and sighed. âThe Oatley guy died pretty
tragically. He wouldnât have to die if he had just agreed to you.â
Magnus smiled bitterly. âWhat does it have to do with me? You know well that
I never laid a hand the entire time.â
At that, Blake laughed heartily. âDonât act coy in front of me. You let Verkade
leave the hospital early, which means you anticipated Sebastian Oatleyâs
refusal, right? Now that heâs dead, his son will definitely willingly become your
pawn!â
Magnus continued to smile bitterly. âYou make it sound like Iâm the son of a
devil!â
Blake guffawed in response. âYouâre not the son of a devil; you are the devil!
But donât drag your father down with you. Heâs much kinder than you!â
Magnus shook his head, smiling without saying a word.
On the other side, Emmanuel drove him and his sister to Cloudscape Mall,
which contained a struggling branded clothing store owned by Felicity until
Emmanuel acquired it for Roselyn for two million.
They went to check the place out that day. The storeâs physical facilities were
decent, and the clothing suppliers were reliable. It was the lack of effective
management that had led it to be barely surviving.
Nevertheless, Roselynn had great confidence that she could turn it around.
âManny, where did you get the money for this acquisition? It couldnât have
been a half-gift, half-sale from the Quillens, or even free, right?â Roselynn
continued to ask her brother for details in the car.
Emmanuel was about to answer when his phone suddenly rang.
After seeing that it was Sage calling, he answered it immediately, believing it
must be important.
âHey, Emmanuel! I did some digging, and your sisterâs father-in-law is
Sebastian Oatley, right?â
âThatâs right. Why were you digging?â Emmanuel asked in return,
subconsciously feeling ominous.
âHe had an accident on the Yeringham Outer Ring Road 3â¦â
Roselynn was by his side, and she noticed that her brotherâs expression
turned visibly odd after he finished the call. She quickly asked, âManny, what
happened?â
Emmanuel didnât want to hide it from his sister and said directly, âYour
father-in-law, Sebastian, had a car accident. Heâs reportedly passed away
on the Yeringham Outer Ring Road 3!â
âWhat?!â Roselynn was deeply shocked. Arenât we just close by?!
