The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 742

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.

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!”
