Chapter 87 Your Apology Means Nothing
Sebastian frowned with displeasure.
Eleanor continued to eat her shrimp, seemingly unaffected by the angry shouts.
Sebastian's brother Arthur married Lillian Tyler.
Their eldest daughter was Quinn, who had excelled in her studies since childhood and was now an actress.
Sebastian's brother Arthur married Lillian Tyler.
They had two daughters. One was Quinn, who had excelled in her studies since childhood and was now an actress.
The other was Natalia Moore, and they had a son named Maxwell Moore.
The Moore family was a large family, and Old Master Moore liked the family to stay close to each other.All the family members lived in separate villas within the same walls.
The vast land covering tens of thousands of miles nearby belonged to the Moore family.
There were golf courses, landing platforms, horse farms and various entertainment facilities in the mountains behind the villas.
The Moore family simply had extravagant wealth!
After going over these intricate family relationships in her mind, Eleanor noticed Lillian walking in with Quinn.
Lillian looked great even in her forties. She still looked like a woman in her thirties and was renowned for her beauty.
Lillian was short tempered and domineering, and even Old Master Moore couldn't change her mind at times.
Among the madams of the Moore family, Madame Sophia was elegant.
Madame Madison was scheming.
Madame Lillian was known for her fiery temperament.
In his younger years, Old Master Moore had been a play boy. His first wife died in a car accident.
He remarried another woman who gave birth to Arthur and Matthew.
Then that woman divorced him and was said to move abroad.
Sebastian's mother was from a humble family, and later she was betrayed by her best friend. Her fate remained unknown.
It was said that she was the woman Old Master Moore had loved the most.
Lillian noticed Hailey was also here and furrowed her brow slightly.
Then she looked at Eleanor, who she had only met once before.
Her daughter's face was now swollen.
Yet, Hailey appeared calm and relaxed as she savored her meal.
Upon seeing Sebastian in the room, Lillian blinked her eyes and said, " Sebastian, no matter what happens today, you must give Quinn justice. Eleanor slapped Quinn twice, and now her face is severely swollen and painful. You must teach Eleanor a lesson."
Without waiting for Sebastian's response, Eleanor smiled and asked, " Madame Lillian, why don't you explain to Mr. Moore why I slapped your daughter?"
Lillian slightly furrowed her brow and turned to look at Quinn standing behind her.
Quinn felt wronged and kept her head lowered. Her face hurt so much, though she went to the hospital and the doctor assured her there was nothing to worry about.
But it was so painful that she couldn't speak, and even if she could, she sounded horrible.
Eleanor must have done something terrible to her, which made her in great pain.
Her primary concern was disfigurement, as she was about to star in an upcoming television drama. She couldn't afford to miss this opportunity for stardom.
"Uncle Sebastian," Quinn cried in a hoarse voice.
Sebastian remained silent and looked at Eleanor instead.
Eleanor didn't know what his emotionless gaze meant.
As they were still strangers, Eleanor didn't expect he would help her.
Seeing Sebastian's expression, Lillian realized he didn't respect Eleanor at all.
"Eleanor, Sebastian married just because he is sick, and you regard yourself as Mrs. Moore. Ask anyone in this house; who acknowledges your status here? How you dare to discipline my daughter?"
Hearing Lillian's words, Sebastian's expression grew colder immediately.
Waylon wouldn't allow anyone to disrespect his mommy.
He said, "Daddy, Quinn and Natalia often bully me when you're not at home. They call me a whore child. So Aunt Eleanor slapped Quinn because they called me a bastard. They told me to get out of here and said I was picked up by Dad to snatch their inheritance.
Because Dad is busy all the time, I haven't told you this before. However, I was taken away by someone yesterday. It happened soon after they arrived, so I suspect Quinn and Madame Sophia were involved."
Despite his young age, Waylon's speech was logical and well-structured.
Everyone present except Sebastian and Eleanor was scared.
Eleanor watched her son in surprise, tears welled up in her eyes. Her son was coming to her defense.
Sebastian looked furious as he turned to Lillian and asked, " Lillian, aren't you the Madame Lillian renowned for wisdom and reason? Is this how you've raised your daughter?"
Lillian felt panicked. Quinn didn't tell her everything, and she just rushed here in anger upon knowing Eleanor's return.
Quinn shot a furious glare at Waylon. In the past, Waylon had always kept silent when they bullied him, he seldom said a word and seemed almost like a mute. Quinn always felt a sense of superiority over Waylon. Without Waylon, the rightful heir to Uncle Sebastian's wealth would still be in question. Quinn accused Waylon and muttered, " Uncle Sebastian, Waylon is lying."
Waylon handed the phone to Eleanor and said, "Here is the recording."
Eleanor quickly understood what he meant.
She played the recording, and there came Quinn's arrogant voice.
"What? Are you trying to defend this little bastard who was brought back here by Uncle Sebastian? So what? Can't I talk about that?"
"He's just a child. How can you say such malicious things to him?" Eleanor's voice came in next.
...
"Eleanor, if you dare to tell Uncle Sebastian, I'll make sure you regret it."
As Sebastian listened, his face grew increasingly gloomy.
Quinn and Lillian who had previously been unapologetic were now in shock.
Waylon even had the recording.
Waylon smiled and asked, "Do you want to hear something even worse?"
Lillian forced a smile and apologized, "Waylon, I'm sorry. Quinn has been spoiled. I had no idea she spoke to you like this. Don't worry; when I return, I'll make sure she learns her lesson."
With these words, Lillian looked at Sebastian nervously.
Though he didn't mention it, he didn't follow the usual patterns.
Sebastian liked to destroy others as he smiled.
Lillian looked at Sebastian's expressionless yet striking face and her heart was trembling. She turned around and shot an angry look at her daughter, saying, "Apologize to Sebastian right now."
Quinn didn't dare to defy, and when she was about to apologize, she heard Sebastian saying, "No need. Your apology means nothing and don't measure up to my precious son. Quinn, there's no place for you in the entertainment industry, and I'm taking back the ten percent shares held by Arthur. Get out!"
"No, no, no, Sebastian, you can't do this. Quinn didn't know any better..."
"Lillian, I'll also reclaim your five percent shares." Sebastian interrupted her coldly. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Lillian was left in shock. They had lived a comfortable life for too long and had forgotten that their easy life was all thanks to Sebastian.
She didn't dare to say anything more and left with Quinn.
Before they left, she shot a malevolent glare at Eleanor and Waylon. These two outsiders was responsible for their current predicament.
Eleanor, on the other hand, looked at Sebastian in astonishment. She had taken note of everything he had done for their son.
Hailey stared at Eleanor's phone in fear. She didn't know whether there was a recording of her insulting Waylon in her phone.
