Slap!
Slap!
Slap!
Three consecutive slaps sounded each as loud as the last. Amelia’s hand was quick as lightning and instantly delivered the three slaps.
Cissie was stunned and did not even have the time to react before both sides of her face started to swell painfully. The onlookers’ skin crawled when they heard the series of slaps. Everyone saw how Amelia continued to give in to Cissie and Truman’s demands. She practically tolerated all their disrespect. To some of the Quinn family members, it appeared to be the rise of the Quinn family. But now with Amelia’s retaliation, it was as if everyone had been ruthlessly slapped just as Cissie was.
“Yes, just like that.” Jack looked on mischievously. He totally disregarded Truman and looked towards Amelia, “Your brother even dared to kill his father. So you as his sister should retaliate ruthlessly. If you don’t even dare to do this, how can you help me to control the Quinn family?”
“Understood, Jack!” Amelia smiled as she nodded. At that moment, she immediately felt that all she had endured was worth it. What Jack said soothed her bottled-up angst.
It was not about the slaps but what Jack said and the way he expressed his support for her! She endured and gave in because of Truman’s status. He was the eldest son of the wealthiest family in Sunam and the future head of the Russell family. He was definitely not someone to be taken lightly.
But now Jack had clearly stated his position on this. He … was not concerned about the Russell family! He certainly was not concerned with any consequences if Russell family was offended.
Then, Jack scanned the entire crowd with his piercing eyes. His cold gaze caused every of the Quinn family members to gasp and hold their breath.
The former senior members of the Quinn family were terrified to be under Jack’s intense scrutiny. As former power holders of the Quinn family, they were all too familiar with the tyrannical ways of Jack who empowered Yael and Amelia with the authority over the entire Quinn family!
That night, Morrison carried Old Master Quinn’s body back to the Quinn family, and those who witnessed that would never forget the nightmare. The cold body of the Master of the family was carried lifelessly home by his son. That was the greatest insult to the Quinn family! And the Quinn family’s everlasting nightmare!
In the hearts of the former power holders of the Quinn family, Jack was like an Angel of Death!
“So what do you all think?” Jack teased.
Silence. Everyone held their tongue. The hundreds and even almost a thousand people were so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone even tried hard to breathe quietly.
Then, Jack narrowed his eyes and looked at Truman. His voice was frosty as he said, “I don’t know how significant your woman is but as for my Amelia, she is the head of the Quinn family!”
Truman clenched his fists as his veins began to throb. He glared ferociously back towards Jack and appeared to be ready to devour him. What Jack said practically smashed his pride into pieces.
“Wah!!!” Now Cissie came to her senses and wailed frantically.
She raised her left hand and swung towards Amelia’s face but Amelia did not move and neither did she flinch. She raised her leg and kicked into Cissie’s abdomen. With a shriek, Cissie fell backward right next to the feet of Truman.
Cissie tried to stand up but her abdomen cramped and she curled up in pain. She yelled painfully, “Truman, she hit me, what are you waiting for?”
