Inside the room.
The atmosphere was tense and stressful.
Jack Hughes sat on his wheelchair with a face full of anger.
Morrison Quinn was the eldest son of the old master Quinn. He was also the one who was most likely to become the head of the Quinn family back then.
When the old master Quinn was told to kill himself in front of Morrison back then, it would be strange if Morrison didn’t hold any grudges against him.
He held that grudge for a long time. Now that Yael Quinn was in trouble, it was normal that they would be against her when Amelia Quinn took charge of the Quinn family alone.
Unfortunately.
The ones most likely to resist didn’t resist.
Instead, it was someone else!
“Jack, it’s…it’s Cissie Quinn.”
Amelia slowly revealed a name.
“ Cissie Quinn?”
Jack frowned in confusion. He had never heard of this name mentioned in the Quinn family before.
Amelia also knew what Jack was confused about, so she immediately explained, “Cissie’s entire family doesn’t have a high status in the Quinn family. They just run a small entertainment company that oversees some related local businesses here in X City.”
“Because of her parents’ connections, Cissie was able to enter the entertainment industry early on. With her appearance and her parents’ help, she gained a little fame here in X City. However, in the Quinn family, she has always been just one of the many people in the younger generation.”
Jack was shocked.
So the reason he didn’t know her name was because she was too ordinary?
This was hilarious!
A smirk appeared on the corners of Jack’s lips, “They are just ordinary parents and ordinary children, yet they’ve got some nerve. The true powerful man must be supporting them from behind?”
“That’s right!”
Amelia’s eyes turned red. She nodded and said, “But, he, maybe…”
As she spoke, Amelia suddenly stopped with extreme fear all written over her face.
In reality, ever since she took charge of the Quinn family, she had been trying to lead with an iron fist.
Thus, the Quinn family had been doing alright until Cissie brought him home. The situation she was facing became awkward and distressed.
It was not because of her capabilities why she couldn’t control the Quinn family.
It was all because of the status of that person!
Jack asked, “Who?”
Amelia slowly said, “The son of the richest man in Sunam, Truman Russell!”
After she said that, the atmosphere in the room became serious and silent.
Even Jack was a bit stunned.
X City was located deep inside the territory, while Sunam was located on the coast. For the richest family in both cities, although they were rich. However, the geographic location and economic growth in both cities were different. Thus, the richest man in Sunam was more powerful than the richest man in X City.
The richest man in Sunam had even been on the list of the world’s richest people!
“I have heard of the richest man in Sunam, Sampson Russell. He ranked 121st on the world’s richest list last year. He must have ranked 69th in the richest list within the territory?”
Jack rubbed his nose and murmured deep in thought.
“That’s right. It’s him. Truman is his eldest son! He is also the successor of the Russell family,” Amelia fearfully spoke.
Suddenly, Jack was in shock.
Never mind Amelia, even if Yael was the one who met him, he would get headaches.
Of course, the way they would deal with it would still be different.
Yael would never let anyone slap him on the face. If anyone dared to slap him, he would have already stabbed a knife into the opponent’s body before that person could slap him.
The power of the richest man in Sunam was stronger than the Quinn family of X City.
The two of them fell in love, and it all went out of control.
In just a month, Truman already brought Cissie home to the Russell family to meet his parents. Although Cissie’s parents were just ordinary people, she was scheming and cunning due to her experiences in the entertainment industry. Thus, she was able to coax and flatter Truman’s parents to extreme satisfaction.
She wouldn’t be able to take down Truman’s parents with just her scheming mind. She could definitely not pass this round with just the identity of an ‘actress’.
However, Cissie was part of the Quinn family!
Truman’s parents were very satisfied, so they approved of Cissie and Truman’s relationship. Thus, they treated her as the future daughter-in-law of the Russell family.
Before Yael got into trouble, he was able to lead, control, and suppress the Quinn family with his reputation of killing his father. Even if Cissie had the rich and powerful backup, she didn’t dare cause any trouble.
In everyone’s eyes, someone like him who killed his own father could really do anything if he was pushed too far.
But after Yael got into trouble, Amelia led and controlled the Quinn family
Everything…changed!
A few days ago, the cunning Cissie grandly brought Truman, the true great leader, into the Quinn family.
They were competitive and ruthless!
It was evident that this was targeted at Amelia!
Cissie became the head of the Quinn family by relying on Truman’s power. She had also been mercilessly and recklessly pressuring Amelia.
And because of Truman’s existence, Amelia was restrained from any actions and pushed into a state of distress.
If she really did something to Truman, she would be facing Sampson, the richest man in Sunam!
After listening to Amelia’s narration, Jack raised his finger and pointed at the fingerprints on her face, “How did you get slapped?”
Amelia subconsciously covered her cheek and aggrievedly said, “When I came out to meet you a while ago, I bumped into Cissie. She complained about how I was blocking Truman’s way and immediately slapped me.”
“Great, that’s great!”
Jack’s expression suddenly became extremely cold and stern. His cheer was like a chilly wind blown from the depths of hell.
“Amelia, never forget this slap she gave you. You need to slap her back tomorrow by yourself!”
