Jack sat in the wheelchair as Jim wheeled him towards the main courtyard. The servants were terrified and hastily got out of their way. Jack maintained a very cold and sinister grin throughout. Even Jim, who looked devilishly handsome, sneered with disdain.

Russell family was indeed powerful but what were they in comparison to the Hughes family?

Now they tried to plunder from the wealthiest family of X City with the intention of seizing power. This was a great misdeed regardless of how one looked at it!

What possessed that fellow Truman to have such audacity to do that?

In the past, it may have been logical for him to seek an alliance with power holders of the Quinn family such as Morrison. But now he was willing to offend Jack in order to impress some mediocre people of the Quinn family! How foolish was that? Jim smiled radiantly when he thought of this.

Jack raised his head, noticed his smile, and asked, "What are you so amused about?"

"I'm smiling just as Mr. Hughes is." Jim pursed his lips and continued, "I was thinking if Sampson had known that his son would do this at the Quinn family, would he be furious and regret that he didn't squirt his sperm into oblivion!"

Jack was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses and then his smile waned.

The mood was somber at the courtyard of the head of the Quinn family.

A group of Quinn family members and servants looked fearfully at the scene in front of them as more of them gathered from all sides.

The Quinn family was extensive. Even though they were unscrupulous and bloodsuckers, the Quinn family was at its peak before its downfall. With such a big family business it was natural that there were also numerous family members.

Even when Jack had the authority over the Quinn family and had authorized Yael and Amelia to run the family, they never clipped the wings of the family nor restricted their activities.

Even if not all the Quinn family members returned for the family feast, a good ninety percent of them attended. Now before the feast started, all of their attention was focused on the courtyard of the head of the family.

The crowd gathered. Although most of them maintained their silence, as more and more people gathered, some began to murmur.

"Amelia, I demand your apology!" Truman demanded sternly of Amelia who remained still.

Her steadfastness was a great insult to him! It made Truman feel that Amelia totally disrespected him.

How could a woman who represented the power holder of the Quinn family be so calm about it? Such a person was a disgrace to an elite family!

Although he had spent a long time overseas for his studies, he was very familiar with the etiquette between noble families. Had he been an outsider, he would never have been bothered with the Quinn family. But since he had chosen to be with Cissie, he had no reason to sit idly by when there were matters concerning the Quinn family.

Amelia maintained her silence and endured despite the pressure of Truman and Cissie. She had already persisted for so many days. Now that Jack was just around the corner, there was no reason for her to give in now.

Morrison's face darkened and was speechless while he perspired profusely. How could they treat him like an outsider and not consult him? He indeed harbored hatred for Jack, Yael, and Amelia and never abandoned the thought of taking over the Quinn family. But he was aware of his limitations.Content rights belong to .

For the last few days, he had turned a blind eye to the trouble caused by Cissie and Truman because it was Amelia who was being targeted. But now Cissie and Truman had foolishly taken things too far! He had already counseled them but what could he do if they did not take his advice?

All the rest were bystanders and there to enjoy the drama!

Among the crowd were former authority holders of the Quinn family but all of them remained silent as they shared the same views as Morrison!

"Amelia, what's the meaning of this? I demanded your apology!" Cissie was infuriated when she saw Amelia's indifference. She dared to be so arrogant because she had the backing of the Russell family due to Truman. Why should she put up with the disrespect of a bitch like Amelia?

She gritted her teeth in anger, walked forward, and raised her hand. Just as she was about to slap Amelia when someone shouted angrily, "Stop!"

The thunderous yell drew everyone's attention. All their expressions changed drastically and looked in the direction of the voice.

Smack! The sound of an impact could be heard but it was not the sound of Cissie slapping Amelia but it was Amelia who grabbed onto Cissie's wrist.

The sudden act of defiance raged Cissie and she did not turn to look at who was the person who yelled. Instead, she erupted and yelled, "Damn bitch! How dare you stop me!"

Jim wheeled Jack slowly towards the crowd and all eyes were on them. He had a slight smile but he was stern as he rubbed his nose. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and they broke out in goosebumps.

Morrison was particularly tensed as he also felt the chills. It would be strange if Jack was not amused when he saw such a scene.

At the same moment, Truman slowly turned and frowned when he saw Jack sitting in the wheelchair. Then he quickly shifted his gaze to Jim. He was not familiar with Jack but he knew a lot about Jim. He had familiarized himself with the local situation at X city. Now the wealthiest family in X city was Zhuge family and not the Quinn family.

How could a member of the Zhuge family be pushing the wheelchair for a crippled? What alarmed him was Jim appeared to be subservient to and treated the person in the wheelchair with the utmost respect. The next second, Jack sneered as he commanded, "Amelia, strike back!"

"Okay!" Amelia responded.

Slap! Amelia raised her left hand and struck down on Cissie's face. The sound of the slap was crisp and sharp!

Almost immediately Cissie's heavily made-up face swelled and turned red with an obvious imprint of Amelia's hand. The slap stunned Cissie. She stared with her eyes wide open and her face stung painfully as she froze in disbelief.

For these few days, she brought Truman back to the Quinn family and continued to harass Amelia with total disregard for her. So how could this woman who had been swallowing her pride suddenly strike back?

Truman raged, clenched his fists, and yelled, "How dare you hit my woman?" His voice reverberated around the courtyard. Everyone could feel the fury in Truman's yell as they could see over these few days how much Truman doted Cissie. Although the slap landed on Cissie's face, indirectly it also landed on Truman's heart!

Then.

"Who the hell do you think your woman is? Why can't she be slapped?" Jack leaned back into his wheelchair as he waved his hand in disgust, "Amelia, don't stop at one slap, go on, continue!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
