Chapter 535


    June walked for a long time before a car finally stopped and sent him back home. Elizabeth was


    appalled to see June in that horrible state when he arrived at the Yard Manor.


    She cried out in shock and instructed their maid to quickly call their family doctor. Elizabeth helped


    June to the sofa and got him to sit down. She then asked someone to bring the medical kit and apply


    medication for him.


    With his bad temper, June said wittily, “Mrs. Yard, I''m fine. It''s just a scratch.”


    “Look at your face. How can you say that it''s just a scratch? No, this won''t do. You must go with me to


    the hospital. Otherwise, it''d be a big problem if your wound gets infected,” Elizabeth said with a worried


    tone.


    June held her back. “Mrs. Yard, I''m really okay. But I''m hungry. Can you please prepare some food for


    me?”


    “Okay, I''ll get you some food.” Elizabeth''s attention was diverted as she hurriedly asked her maid to


    prepare food for June. After that, she asked them about the family doctor''s whereabouts, then sat on


    the sofa and asked June who had hurt him.


    At first, June did not want to tell Elizabeth about what happened. However, thetter insisted on


    knowing. Thus, June pretended to be in a dilemma as he answered, “Mrs. Yard, I was brought to the


    outskirts by Oscar Clinton''s men. That''s why I ended up in this state. They took my phone and wallet,


    and I walked all the back. Fortunately, I met a kindhearted person while on my way back, and they sent


    me home.”


    “Oscar Clinton? Why did he beat you up?” Elizabeth was stunned and did not understand why Oscar


    had assaulted June.


    June acted as if he was too embarrassed to speak.


    “June, just tell me what happened. Don''t worry. I''m here. I won''t let anyone bully you and will stand up


    for you. You''ll be considered my son in the near future.”


    Only then was June willing to voice out, “Mrs. Yard, Oscar asked his bodyguard to convey a message.


    He said he didn''t want me to marry Cassie, and he had his fun toying with her. I got so mad and


    wanted to teach them a lesson. But I was outnumbered, and all his men were highly-skilled fighters.


    That''s why I was beaten up instead. I''m sorry, Mrs. Yard. I failed to seek justice for Cassie.”


    Elizabeth''s initiallyposed face was contorted with rage, and she responded bitterly, “Oscar Clinton


    is such a bully! Our family has repeatedly avoided him, yet he''s so overbearing. I''ll ask Olivia if she''s


    only responsible for giving birth to her son, not raising him well. How could her son be so arrogant and


    disrespect anyone?”


    A hint of smugness shed across June''s eyes. Sometimes, the best weapon was when a woman


    acted like a shrew. She could annoy anyone with her words.


    Oscar Clinton, you''repetent, aren''t you? Then I''ll let an older woman go against you. I don''t believe


    that you''ll find trouble with her since you''re the younger generation. I''ll slowly get my revenge for what


    you''ve done today. Just wait and see how I''ll manipte you.


    When Charlie entered the house, he could sense that something was off. Charlie frowned in


    puzzlement. But before he could ask, Elizabeth rushed over and furiously said, “Charlie, look at what


    Oscar did. He has beaten June up. You know very well how June treated Cassie in these two years,


    and you can also feel how respectful he is to us. Now that he''s hurt, what do you think we should do?”


    Charlie looked at the injuries on June''s face and his gaze darkened. “June, did Oscar really do this to


    you?”


    “Mr. Yard, I''m fine. Don''t ruin your rtionship with them because of me,” said June as he rose to his


    feet from the sofa.


    Elizabeth could not calm the rage burning within her. “June, forget about the harmonious rtionship


    with them. They''ve gone overboard with bullying us. How could we let him off just like that? Whatever it


    is, we must seek justice for you. Look at you. How are you going to work in this state?”


    She paused for a while before turning her gaze to Charlie and continued, “Charlie, they''re going over


    our heads now. Oscar even said that Cassie was a girl he had yed and slept with. If you can ept


    this, then I have nothing else to say.”


    “Let''s go to the Clinton residence,” Charlie responded after pondering.


    Elizabeth was satisfied after hearing what Charlie said. “June, could youe with us to the Clinton


    residence?”


    June thought for a while and acted like he was in a dilemma. “Mrs. Yard, am I troubling you both? My


    injuries are not that serious.”


    “Look at yourself. How could you say that it''s not serious? Don''t worry about us. We''ll do whatever we


    need to seek justice for you today.”


    The Yards and June then marched into the Clinton residence.


    Olivia could not help but feel shocked when she heard that the Yard family, who had cut off ties with


    them for two years, had appeared in front of her doorstep.


    “Did they say what the matter was?” Olivia asked calmly.


    “No, Mrs. Clinton. They just said they wanted an exnation from you, and they will lodge a police


    report if you refuse to do so,” Olivia''s maid replied truthfully.


    Olivia thought about it. Eventually, she answered, “Let them in.”


    Elizabeth strode into the Clinton residence like an arrogant, wealthy woman while Charlie and June


    followed behind.


    “It''s been a while, Charlie. How are you?” Olivia only greeted Charlie.


    Elizabeth walked forward and blocked Charlie from Olivia''s sight. “Olivia, do you only have eyes for


    men?”


    Olivia was not bothered by the way Elizabeth spoke. Instead, she politely and coldly responded, “Have


    a seat. We don''t have to fight the moment we meet.”


    Elizabeth red at her but was sensible enough not to argue.


    The three of them took a seat, and Elizabeth cut to the chase. “Elizabeth, this is Cassie''s fiancé, and


    they''re getting married soon. It was supposed to be a joyous asion for our family. However, now that


    your son has beaten June, I want to seek justice for him. It has been two years since we steered clear


    of each other. Your son can''t be the only one who''s happily married with a child. My daughter is finally


    getting married, but Oscar wanted to stir trouble. Either Oscar apologizes to June himself, or we''ll see


    each other at the police station.”


    Olivia nced at June and sized him up. The two pieces of white gauze on June''s facepletely


    ruined the beauty of his handsome face.


    “Did Oscar really do this to you?” Olivia asked in a doubtful tone. She believed that Oscar was not an


    impulsive person. If he did it, he would not leave any evidence behind. Unless Oscar deliberately left


    evidence.


    Sometimes, this was quite like the way Oscar did things. With the power he had, Oscar could be


    reckless.


    “Do I need to lie? I''ll stay here until you give me an exnation. I want to know what Oscar is thinking.


    Cassie has been avoiding him for two years, but he wants to drive her into a corner,” Elizabeth uttered


    disdainfully.


    Olivia pondered for a while before asking her butler to call Oscar and ask him toe home.


    After Oscar answered the phone, the butler ryed the message, and the former responded, “I


    understand. Give me two hours. Tell my mother to wait for my arrival.”


    Oscar had wanted to remove his tie, but he put it back on after receiving the call.


    Amelia walked toward him and asked, “What''s the matter? Mom called you. Did something happen?”


    “Some nuisance people are causing trouble at home. I''m going over to have a look,” Oscar replied


    nonchntly.

    Amelia responded, “I''ll go with you.”


    “You stay at home with Tony. Otherwise, you''re not around when he wants to look for you.”


    “It''s okay. With Kurt apanying him, he won''t act up.”


    After hearing that, Oscar did not say anything else.


    The two of them rushed to the Clinton residence. When they arrived, there was a tense atmosphere in


    the living room. It felt like an inted bubble that would burst with a touch.


    “Mom,” both Oscar and Amelia called out politely in unison. With outsiders around, Amelia did not call


    Olivia “Mrs. Clinton” like she used to.


    Olivia waved her hand at them. “Come and take a seat. Tony isn''t here with you both?”


    “It''ste, so I asked Kurt to put him to bed,” Amelia exined.


    Olivia did not answer. At the same time, her phone rang. It was a text message.


    Olivia took the time to read the text. However, her expression turned grim after seeing the picture that


    was sent to her phone. She nced at Amelia and June. Olivia''s stare became cold as she looked at


    Amelia.


    “Amelia, do you know this foreign gentleman sitting across you?” Olivia asked tentatively.


    Amelia turned to look at June. When she saw him, the look in her eyes changed. It was evident that


    Amelia was surprised to see him.


    “I''ve met Mr. Wick a few times. I know that he''s Ms. Yard''s fiancé. I don''t know anything other than


    that,” Amelia answered honestly.


    Olivia did not continue since there were guests with them.


    However, Elizabeth red at Oscar and snapped, “Olivia, stop talking nonsense. Since Oscar is here,


    ask him why did he beat up my future son-inw? If he can''t give me a good answer, I''m staying here


    today.”


    “Oscar, tell us the truth. Did you ask people to hurt the gentleman sitting across you?” Olivia asked as


    she took a deep breath.


    Oscar shot an indifferent nce at June. “Mom, am I supposed to admit that I''ve hurt whoever that


    comes here saying so? There''s no need for them to use such tactics even if they need money.”


    As he said that, he turned his gaze to Elizabeth. “Mrs. Yard, just tell me if you need money. Seeing that


    you were close to my family before, I''ll help with whatever I can. But there''s no need for you toe up


    with something like this, beating up a perfectly good man. He looks quite ugly in this state.”


    After hearing what he said, Elizabeth''s face scrunched up in anger. She mmed her hand on the table


    hard and yelled, “Oscar Clinton, what do you mean by that?”


    “It has been two years since we met, Mrs. Yard. Not only do you look older, but your intelligence has


    also deteriorated a lot.”


    Elizabeth was enraged. She sneered and said, “Oscar, you''ve be sharp-tongued after two years


    of not meeting.”


    “Thank you for thepliment, Mrs. Yard. However, I don''t have the power to distort the truth like you. I


    need to exert actual effort for that,” Oscar skillfully answered back.


    “You...”


    Olivia shot Oscar a re. “Oscar, don''t be rude to your elders.”


    “Okay, Mom,” answered Oscar.


    Olivia looked at June and said, “Mr. Wick, you said that my son had sent people to hurt you. Do you


    have evidence to support your im? If you don''t, I''ll sue you for defaming us.”


    As soon as Olivia asked, June fell silent instead. It was true that he could not show them any evidence


    of Oscar beating him because Oscar''s subordinates had long wiped out all the evidence.


    The Clintons were the rulers of this city. As a foreigner, June could never go against the local tyrants,


    no matter how powerful he was.


    Nevertheless, June was not here today to see what Oscar would do. Instead, he wanted to see Olivia''s


    expression after she saw the picture. June refused to believe that Olivia would be magnanimous if her


    daughter-inw could be having an affair with him. What made the matter worse was that June had


    appeared before them. Any bright person would think otherwise when they put two and two together.
