Chapter 280

“Ah, look, isn’t that Old Mr. Quillen?” someone exclaimed.

“What? Old Mr. Quillen is here?” another person chimed in, surprised.

The hotel manager’s reception attracted the attention of many onlookers.

Being a prominent business family, the Oatley family quickly identified

Terence Quillen as the wealthiest and most influential figure in Yeringham’s

business realm.

!

The mere mention of Old Mr. Quillen instantly diverted Sebastian’s attention

from Roselynn’s situation, compelling him to approach hurriedly.

The arrival of Terence himself left everyone in a state of utter astonishment.

“O–Old Mr. Quillen, what brings you here?” Sebastian asked in disbelief. This

was a joyous occasion for them, and Terence had voluntarily graced them

with his presence.

Even Sebastian couldn’t fathom the idea that Terence was honoring the

Oatley family. Is he somehow connected to the bride’s family?

However, Sebastian quickly dismissed such thoughts.

After all, the Lowe family was a commoner family. It seemed implausible for

them to have any ties to the prestigious family of Yeringham.

It simply didn’t add up.

“Haha, why is there such liveliness here? Is the wedding ceremony taking

place here?” Terence, having just arrived, was unaware of the situation. Out

of respect for the Lowe family, he approached the members of the Oatley

family, who were hosting the banquet.

“Ah? No…” Sebastian was at a loss for words. If Terence discovered that the

Oatley family’s bride had stolen the necklace, their reputation would be

ruined.

Jennifer understood her husband’s predicament all too well. She harbored

deep resentment toward Roselynn, wondering why their son had chosen

such an unscrupulous woman to marry.

“What’s the matter? Is it inconvenient for you to speak to an outsider like me?”

Terence felt disrespected by the Oatley family’s apparent disregard for him.

Although the Quillen family had no business ties with the Oatley family,

Terence possessed enough influence to dismantle their enterprises with a

mere word.

“Ah? No, no, no…” Sebastian waved his hands repeatedly, but he didn’t know

how to respond to Terence. How could they expose their family’s dirty

laundry?

However, in a pivotal moment, Claudette emerged from the crowd and

coldly said, “Old Mr. Quillen, they are claiming that Roselynn stole someone

else’s necklace!”

“Oh? You’re the eldest daughter of the Lenoir family!” Terence immediately

recognized Claudette. After all, only the Lenoir family and the Verkade family

held equal standing with the Quillen family in Yeringham.

The Lane family stood a step below these three esteemed families.

As for the Oatley family, they were considered second–rate at best.

“What? Y–You’re the Lenoir family’s eldest daughter?!” Jennifer, who had

carried an air of superiority, suddenly grew uneasy. She knew that Claudette

was part of Roselynn’s bridesmaid team today.

How could Roselynn, a commoner woman, have such a prestigious friend?

It didn’t make sense!

Jessica, who had remained silent and reserved all this time, began to break

out in a cold sweat.

She had just witnessed Roselynn being subjected to bullying and had been

unsure whether Roselynn had any influential connections.

However, she regretted her hesitation now.

She regretted not helping Roselynn earlier.

Nevertheless, it was better late than never to rectify her mistakes.

With that, she swiftly made her way through the crowd, reaching out to help

Roselynn, who had been knocked to the ground. Feigning concern, she asked,

“Roselynn, are you okay?”

Roselynn had been ruthlessly kicked by Isaac, and her lower abdomen was in

excruciating pain. At this moment, she was covered in a cold sweat and still

unable to utter a word.

After noticing that it was Emmanuel’s sister being mistreated, Terence

promptly approached.

!

His bodyguards behind him quickly dispersed the crowd.

“Roselynn, what happened to you? Who did this to you?” Terence’s genuine

concern caught everyone present off guard.

What’s going on? What is the relationship between Old Mr. Quillen and

Roselynn? everyone pondered silently.

Jaxton was also dumbfounded. He was on the verge of marrying Roselynn,

yet he had no inkling of her powerful backing.

Selina, consumed by nerves, quickly retreated and clutched tightly onto

Isaac’s arm.

Although Isaac was also flustered, he endeavored to maintain his masculine

composure and calmly stated, “Don’t be afraid. She stole our necklace. Even if

the heavens descended, we would still be in the right!”

Gradually regaining her composure, Roselynn clenched her teeth and

pointed at Isaac and the others. “T-They’re falsely accusing me of stealing

their necklace!”

Perplexed, Terence furrowed his brow and questioned, “What necklace?”

1

While he didn’t possess extensive knowledge about Roselynn, Terence was

familiar with Emmanuel’s character and believed that his sister’s character

couldn’t be any worse. Moreover, as the bride, how could she find the time to

steal someone else’s necklace? It seemed utterly absurd.

“It’s the necklace my sister–in–law Mackenzie lent me. It was a gift from my

younger brother to her.” Roselynn pointed to the golden jade phoenix around

her neck.

Terence trembled with disbelief. At a glance, he recognized it as the exact

necklace he had purchased for Emmanuel to give to his granddaughter,

Mackenzie.

Since when did it fall into the possession of someone from the Oatley family?

A surge of anger welled within him.

However, as someone well–versed in navigating the complexities of life, he

concealed his emotions. Instead, he smiled and turned to Sebastian, asking,

“Is that so?”

Sebastian sighed inwardly and nodded to Terence. “Yes, it’s true. What a

shame that something like this has happened to our family!”

“Hold on for a moment!” Terence waved his hand, urging them to clarify. “Are

you implying that someone from the Oatley family falsely accused your

daughter–in–law, or are you saying that your daughter–in–law stole

-someone else’s necklace and tarnished your family’s reputation? Please

make it clear!”

As the chairman of Terence Group, he always approached matters in a

systematic and precise manner.

“It’s about her stealing my necklace, of course!” Selina immediately grew

angry and pointed at Roselynn. “Everyone here knows that this necklace was

a token of affection given to me by Mr. Lane. How did it end up in the

possession of someone she knows?”

Terence maintained his smile, neither confirming nor denying, as he

repeated his question to Sebastian, “Is that so?”

Sebastian stammered, unsure of how to respond.

Roselynn finally caught on, wondering why these arrogant people from the

Oatley family held such reverence for Mackenzie’s grandpa. What’s his true

identity, after all?

“Yes!” Jennifer chimed in, convinced that Roselynn had indeed stolen Selina’s

necklace. With so many eyes from the Oatley family as witnesses, it seemed

improbable that the incident was fabricated.

As her husband’s hesitant response turned into a source of ridicule, Jennifer

stood by Selina’s side and felt an overwhelming urge to assertively speak the

truth,

At her words, Terence shifted his gaze toward Claudette and said, “Ms. Lenoir,

I didn’t bring anyone with me today. Your family has always shown efficiency,

and I would appreciate some assistance from you.”

While the meaning behind his words eluded others, Claudette instantly

grasped it.

She had personally witnessed Mackenzie giving the necklace to Roselynn.

How could Roselynn be lying?

These people from the Oatley family were acting high and mighty, falsely

accusing Roselynn of stealing the necklace and even resorting to violence

against her. Even without Terence’s intervention, she was determined to help

her best friend.

“Very well, let’s further investigate the true ownership of the necklace!” After

instructing Claudette to make the necessary arrangements, Terence smiled

and addressed the Oatley family members.

Little did they know, his smile concealed a hidden agenda.

Unbeknownst to them, their actions had already put them at a disadvantage.

They remained oblivious to the fact that Terence had been sharpening his

blade, ready to strike and silence them with a swift and deadly blow.
