Jennifer’s words were just a fit of anger. However, Jaxton had a n in mind.
Due to hisck of capability, even though he was the boss’ son, he couldn’t

“This is the Yeringham Traffic Police. Is this Jennifer Burke, the wife of
Sebastian Oatley?”
“Huh? Yes, that’s me!”
Receiving such a phone call suddenly made Jennifer’s heart sink as a feeling
of extreme foreboding washing over her..
“I am here to inform you that Mr. Sebastian Oatley had a car ident on
Yeringham Outer Ring Road 3. Unfortunately, he collided with a small truck
and has been confirmed dead.”
“W-What?!”
Jennifer dropped her phone to the ground in shock.
Jessica also covered her mouth in anguish, tears streaming down her face.
Was their family cursed?! Now, it seemed that their family would indeed
Jaxton’s expression was also one of pain andplexity. Yes, he wanted to
be the head of the family sooner, but he didn’t wish for his father to die
now.
Meanwhile, at the scene of the ident on Outer Ring Road 3, A ck Coro
passed by.
While driving, ke shook his head and sighed. “The Oatley guy died pretty
tragically. He wouldn’t have to die if he had just agreed to you.”
Magnus smiled bitterly. “What does it have to do with me? You know well that
I neverid a hand the entire time.”
At that, keughed heartily. “Don’t act coy in front of me. You let Verkade
leave the hospital early, which means you anticipated Sebastian Oatley’s
refusal, right? Now that he’s dead, his son will definitely willingly be your
pawn!”
Magnus continued to smile bitterly. “You make it sound like I’m the son of a
devil!”
ke guffawed in response. “You’re not the son of a devil; you are the devil!
But don’t drag your father down with you. He’s much kinder than you!”
Magnus shook his head, smiling without saying a word.

which contained a struggling branded clothing store owned by Felicity until
Emmanuel acquired it for Roselyn for two million.
They went to check the ce out that day. The store’s physical facilities were
decent, and the clothing suppliers were reliable. It was theck of effective
management that had led it to be barely surviving.
Nevertheless, Roselynn had great confidence that she could turn it around.
“Manny, where did you get the money for this acquisition? It couldn’t have

continued to ask her brother for details in the car.
Emmanuel was about to answer when his phone suddenly rang.
After seeing that it was Sage calling, he answered it immediately, believing it
must be important.
“Hey, Emmanuel! I did some digging, and your sister’s father-inw is
Sebastian Oatley, right?”
“That’s right. Why were you digging?” Emmanuel asked in return,
subconsciously feeling ominous.
“He had an ident on the Yeringham Outer Ring Road 3…”
Roselynn was by his side, and she noticed that her brother’s expression
turned visibly odd after he finished the call. She quickly asked, “Manny, what
happened?”
Emmanuel didn’t want to hide it from his sister and said directly, “Your
father-inw, Sebastian, had a car ident. He’s reportedly passed away
on the Yeringham Outer Ring Road 3!”
“What?!” Roselynn was deeply shocked. Aren’t we just close by?!
