The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 742 Oppressed and Humiliated

Cissie had elegant make-up on. Her long, red Chanel dress showed off her slender figure.

Her whole being exuded a sexy, mysterious aura.

If she was placed in a crowd, she would definitely be the most eye-catching one among the rest. Her

beauty was unmatched.

However, the arrogant look of hers diminished her elegance by a whole lot.

Her words earlier were heard by the members of the Quinn Family and the servants who were around

them. When she was walking towards Amelia, the crowd immediately looked away and move further.

Everyone was clear that Amelia was leading the Quinn Family now!

Even though they weren’t satisfied with her, they still showed her respect.

This was the effect of Yael’s threat at the Quinn Family before this.

Morrison, who had a high position in the Quinn Family, had to pay respect to Amelia as well.

However, it was clear from the way that Cissie was speaking that she had disregarded Amelia’s

authority and power.

She spoke in a tone that was arrogant and demeaning.

Especially when she said ‘the more the merrier’. That shocked everyone to their cores.

It was already disrespectful of her to organize this banquet without Amelia’s permission.

She had already disregarded Amelia’s status.

And now, her words from earlier were obviously to provoke Amelia!

When Amelia responded, those who were nearby them could feel her rage. They couldn’t control

themselves but moved backwards subconsciously in fear.

Arrogantly, Cissie moved closer to Amelia.

She looked Amelia up and down, then showed a hint of dissatisfaction at her office wear, “Go back and

change into something else. We have a family banquet tonight. Your attire isn’t suitable at all. Do you

know you look like a couch potato? Please, that’s going to leave a bad impression for Truman.”

With a pair of 4-inch high stilettos on her feet, Cissie was easily taller than Amelia. That was why as

she spoke, she looked down at Amelia proudly.

As for Amelia, she had chosen to wear ballet flats for work reasons. When the two ladies stood face to

face, she appeared to be at a disadvantage.

In that instant.

The atmosphere was tense.

It was even worse than earlier.

It was so tense that the people around them could feel goosebumps on their spines.

“Cissie, have you forgotten who calls the shots in the Quinn Family?”

Amelia tried hard to suppress her anger.

Incidents as such had been happening quite frequently around here lately.

But because of Truman’s identity, Amelia had been staying silent about it.

However, tonight’s banquet had diminished her last bit of patience.

Cissie obvious disregard for her authority had riled her up, and it would anger anyone if it were to

happen to them. This was a huge sin here.

But Cissie who was just a nobody in the Quinn Family had done something as ridiculous as such!

Was she that eager to boast that she had been living a better life?

“It’s you, definitely. Everyone knew that both you and Yael had joined hands in crushing the Quinn

Family and our previous head. Then, you took his power into your own hands, didn’t you?”

Cissie’s arms were crossed in front of her chest while she had a look of indifference on her face,

“What? After you and Yael became the family heads, you guys have done nothing to foster a better

relationship among our family members. I’m just bringing Truman back and want to invite everyone to

have some good time together. Are you going to stop me just because you’re not happy with it?”

Amelia’s face darkened by a few shades.

Rage was clearly burning in her eyes.

Her fingers had curled into fists as well by her side.

All the family members of the Quinn Family and the servants widened their eyes at the scene.

Oh god!

Was Cissie mad?

Was she trying to cause chaos?

“Of course I am happy with the family banquet, but do you know what you are doing?”

Amelia’s gaze turned cold and she questioned Cissie, “Even if grandpa was alive, do you think that you

can be forgiven after what you have done?”

Strict rules exist in all affluent families.

For the Hughes Family, it was to cultivate the best heir, and all clans interacted each other.

For the Quinn Family, inheritance of the family head would be passed on to the first son in the next

generation.

From the way Amelia and Cissie addressed the old master Quinn who had passed away, one could tell

the status they both had in the family.

Plus, it had always been an unspoken rule that every family member had to obey the Head of the

Quinn Family.

The leader’s instructions shall only be followed by the rest. No one shall deny or question it. And no

one can disregard the authority the leader had!

Cissie organized a banquet without consulting Amelia first.

If the old master Quinn was still alive and Amelia was the one doing such things, she would be heavily

punished only.

But, for someone as insignificant as Cissie, it was not allowed at all!

It was right after Amelia spoke.

A hint of ferocity suddenly appeared on Cissie’s pretty face as she lifted her hand and slapped Amelia

across the face.

“Are you threatening me, you bitch?! It’s good enough that you can come back to the family after your

divorce. Even if you have Jack’s help, do you think you can do anything once Yael, that caveman

reveals his dark side just because you’re our head?”

Her shrilly screams echoed in the air.

“You are a betrayer. You are a fucking golddigger! Do you think the other Quinns are satisfied with

you?”

“How dare you threaten me? Amelia Quinn, I’m telling you, I’ll be part of the Russell family one day.

With Truman around, you can dream about ordering me around! I don’t care who you are, but you are

the one who needs to obey us. Not just you, but the whole Quinn Family, and even Jack Hughes

cannot be compared to Truman.”

Conceited. Arrogant. Self-Centred. There wasn’t any better way to describe Cissie.

At this moment.

The jaws of everyone around them dropped.

Some couldn’t believe what they saw as they rubbed their eyes and pinched their ears.

Everything seemed unreal. Were they seeing and hearing things?

When they came back to their senses.

Confused gazes were shot towards Cissie.

Some had a hint of fear, some madness, and some were even enjoying the show from the side.

Amelia froze in her position as a look of rage appeared on her face.

Her brows were tightly knitted together, and her eyes were burning like a volcano that was about to

explode.

How dare Cissie say such things!

Yes, it was true. Amelia was concerned about Truman, and that was why she had been enduring

Cissie’s every action.

But she couldn’t do it anymore. If she still stayed silent when Cissie had oppressed and humiliated her

this much, how could she lead the Quinn Family?

However, a roar sounded at this moment.

“Cissie, shut up!”

The powerful voice took everyone by surprise. They slowly turned to the source of the voice.

Morrison had a fearful look as he approached them in a hurry.

Next two him were the two maids who Amelia had questioned earlier about tonight’s event.

As Morrison strode away, they disappeared amidst the crowd carefully.

Morrison was in such a rush that he was almost stumbling.

When he heard about this from the maids, he felt as if lightning had struck him.

Goodness!

Was Cissie mad?

Morrison understood Jack’s methods of dealing with things, and he had seen his cruel side before too.

To him, Jack and Yael were the same types of people.

And Jack was even more powerful than Yael!

While that power of Jack was admired by the Quinn Family, it was the main reason for Morrison’s

father’s death as well!

He knew about everything that had been happening in the Quinn Family recently.

However, he ignored it all because of his anger. As for tonight’s banquet, he was happy that it was

happening.

However, why did Cissie provoke Amelia so blatantly? Was she nuts?

“Uncle Morrison, you’re here!”

When Cissie saw him, she became even more arrogant instead of calming down. She continued in a

disdainful tone, “This gold-digger of a bitch was threatening me and Truman. Let me teach her a lesson

today!”
