Chapter 837
Emmanuel quickly drove to Yeringham Outer Ring Road 3. True to his
expectations, the area was cordoned off with accident warning tape, and
there were many onlookers.
The siblings quickly got out of the car and hurried to the accident scene.
A car and a small truck had collided, and the front of the car was wholly
deformed, with even some wet smoke, indicating how severe the collision
had been.
Sebastian’s body had been placed on a stretcher and covered with a white
sheet.
Unable to control her emotions, Roselynn pushed through the crowd and ran
to Sebastian’s side!
“Hey, who are you? Don’t disturb the accident scene!” The on-site traffic
police immediately shouted.
“We’re relatives of the deceased. She is my sister, and the deceased was her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfather-in-law.” Emmanuel quickly explained on his sister’s behalf, and only
then did the traffic police allow her to confirm the identity.
Roselynn lifted the white sheet and saw Sebastian’s gruesome condition, his
body mangled. Tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.
While despising the Oatleys, she was okay with Sebastian, for if it hadn’t been
him that night, she would never have been able to depart from the Oatley
residence so easily!
“Dad!”
“Dad!”
In the next moment, a wave of familiar voices echoed from behind.
Roselynn turned her head and frowned instantly.
“Roselynn Lowe, you wicked woman! Why are you here?”
Upon seeing Roselynn, Jaxton disregarded his own injuries and charged
forward, grabbing his wife’s collar in pain and shouting, “Did you kill my
father? Why did you do this?”
The crowd was instantly astonished. The accident was still under
investigation, and the initial judgment by the traffic police was a traffic
accident. Jaxton’s words could easily turn it into a murder case.
“Jaxton Oatley, let go of me! Don’t spread baseless accusations here!”
Roselynn tried to break free from Jaxton’s grip. However, this time, the young
man wouldn’t show any mercy. He raised his fist, ready to punch her, aiming
to settle both old and new grudges.
Meanwhile, Jennifer and Jessica watched with satisfaction. As a man of the
Oatley family, Jaxton should have done that long ago.
But…
Jaxton’s fist never made contact with Roselynn’s body.
Emmanuel had extended his palm to block the punch, then quickly grasped
Jaxton’s wrist with one hand and gently pushed. Jaxton staggered back
continuously, ending up in an awkward position on the ground.
“Don’t spread baseless accusations here, Oatley, or we’ll sue you for
defamation!” Emmanuel stood taller, speaking firmly.
Jaxton glared while blood seeped from his body. He looked like a malevolent
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmspirit but was currently helpless against Emmanuel and Roselynn.
“Just you wait! We won’t let you off the hook! You must’ve deliberately caused
the traffic accident! I’m calling the police now! I’ll definitely uncover the truth!”
Jennifer, also behaving unreasonably, took her phone out to call the police,
rendering Emmanuel speechless.
Bah, this family can go ahead and make a fuss. They’re simply unbelievable!
“Come on, Manny, let’s go.”
Roselynn also couldn’t be bothered with the Oatleys. She had come just to
see Sebastian one last time. After all, the divorce proceedings with Jaxton
hadn’t been finalized, so legally, she and Sebastian were still in-laws.
“Go? You want to leave just like that?” Jaxton got up and impeded them.
Immediately, Emmanuel shielded his sister and pointed at Jaxton. “I advise
you to be mindful of your actions or bear the consequences!”
Due to the family’s antics, more and more onlookers gathered around the
accident scene.
