A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 280

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.
