“Father, why are you here?”
Elder Xylander did not say a word, but his footsteps were heavy. He simply walked over to Father Xylander, one step at a time, and directly threw three slaps across his face. Father Xylander’s face immediately turned red before it started to swell. “Even the dog I own doesn’t bite it’s illegitimate child. You’re worse than a dog!”
Father Xylander looked at Elder Xylander in shock. This was the first time he had ever been slapped by him.
“Father…”
Elder Xylander glared at Father Xylander before he stumbled over to sit on the sofa with the assistance of his bodyguards. He then fl*pped the box containing the melon seeds that Turquoise was previously eating, all over the floor. “I may have been aloof from the world for many years, but that doesn’t mean that you are now in charge. Didn’t I previously warn you that, if you were to remarry, your second wife would not inherit even a cent from the Xylander Family?”
Father Xylander did not say a word. He simply took a quick glance at Turquoise.
Elder Xylander noticed the look of Father Xylander’s face, so he turned his attention to Turquoise, “Since you are my son’s new wife, shouldn’t you offer me a cup of tea.”
Turquoise was a little surprised. This was the first time she had met Elder Xylander, so she did not dare to delay. Inside, she was still dreaming that Elder Xylander would develop an acceptance towards her.
Quality tea leaves and temperate hot water; Turquoise presented Elder Xylander with a cup of tea. However, Elder Xylander simply glared at her, “Do you not understand the rules?”
Turquoise held back her displeasure as she raised the teacup towards Elder Xylander once again. However, in this instant, a pitiful scream echoed through the room…
“Ahhh…”
The teacup that Turquoise presented to Elder Xylander had been knocked out her hands and the scalding hot content was now all over her body.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you treat my granddaughter in such a way! Rather than focusing on being an actress, you decided to team up with this evil monster.”
At this moment, Turquoise did not care at all what Elder Xylander had to say. All she could focus on was her burning body as she turned to Father Xylander and pleaded, “Hubby, help me, help me…”
Father Xylander wanted to walk over and help her up, but Elder Xylander warned in a ferocious tone, “You b*stard. I dare you to try and help her.”
Hearing the warning, Father Xylander was speechless as he watched Turquoise being put to shame.
“Hubby, save me…I still need to partake in films. I can’t have any scars. I still need to win awards.”
The living room was filled with Turquoise’s cries of help, but Father Xylander remained in place, too afraid to step forward.
“If you dare to help her today, then we will no longer be father and son. You can also forget about taking even a cent away from Xylander Corps,” Elder Xylander threatened. “I never thought you’d treat my granddaughter in such a way.”
Normally, Father Xylander would not tolerate being treated this way, but…the man before him, was the father that had also hit him for half his life. He had no ability to retaliate.
“From today onwards, I will be living here. I would like to see if you have the ability to lay even a fi**ger on Quenlyn.”
“Father, this is my own family matter.”
“Fine. If you want me to keep my nose out of your business, it’s possible, I’m not that petty,” Elder Xylander did not intend to leave Father Xylander with any pride, “As long as you leave the household with this woman and not take a cent with you, I will leave you alone…”
Father Xylander did not say another word. To protect himself, he simply let Turquoise continue to cry in pain for quite some time.
Turquoise glared at Father Xylander with hatred. No matter how much sweet talking he usually did, it all boiled down to how he’d react at important times like this. And how did he react?
He threw her to one side without hesitation….
“Your reaction tells me that you want to continue living together. That’s fine with me, but you need to mentally prepare yourself. Just a moment ago, I heard you and the entertainer throw insulting words at Quenlyn. I was extremely disappointed and angry to witness that. So…during my stay here, I won’t be treating the two of you nicely.”
Elder Xylander then turned to Quenlyn and smiled, “Quenlyn, come to grandfather.”
Quenlyn approached Elder Xylander, no longer afraid.
“From now on, treat this woman the way that she has treated you in the past…”
“I don’t want you to be gentle and kind. I want you to protect yourself. Towards those that have bullied you, I want them to understand what it means to receive double the retribution.”
“Speak up. You can request something from that woman right now.”
After hearing this, Turquoise glared at Quenlyn. She had been brought up with a delicate lifestyle and started off as a child actor. So, everything she learned was from the entertainment industry, including how to bully the weak and insult others.
Over the years, even she couldn’t remember how many schemes and tricks she had played on Quenlyn. Now that the tables had been turned, Turquoise tried to look calm, but deep down she was in a panic.
Elder Xylander had never visited their household before, so nothing like this had ever happened. But, this time…
….Elder Xylander had personally witnessed the couple bullying Quenlyn. It seemed, Turquoise may have some suffering coming her way.
Father Xylander, Elder Xylander and Turquoise looked at Quenlyn, waiting for a response. However, after quite some time, she finally said slowly, “I don’t care…”
Father Xylander and Turquoise were shocked. According to Quenlyn’s personality, the was no way she’d say something like this. How could she not care?
If these words were said within a different household, perhaps it would have been enough to end all battles. But, this was the Xylander Household!
“How badly have you suffered? Why would you cover up for the wench?” After speaking, Elder Xylander turned to Turquoise and demanded, “You…come here.”
Turquoise was a little stunned as she looked at Father Xylander helplessly. But, Father Xylander merely furrowed his brows, unable to retaliate against his father.
Turquoise had nowhere to turn to for help, so she had no choice but to walk over to Elder Xylander. As soon as she stood before him, Elder Xylander raised his hand and threw a slap across her face. In fact, he did not stop at one slap. He continuously slapped her as he lectured, “You’re just a toy that can’t even be considered as an actress. How dare you bully my granddaughter!”
“I let you marry into the family so you could take care of my son and granddaughter. Instead, you made my granddaughter suffer in your hands.”
After a series of 5 slaps, Turquoise was so dazed that she could barely stand up straight…All she could hear was a ringing in her ears…
Afterwards, Elder Xylander said to Father Xylander, “If you dare lay a fi**ger on my granddaughter again, then you should directly show yourself out the door.”
This was the first time that Quenlyn had witnessed such a scene.
She couldn’t believe, in this household that was filled with memories of being hit, there would actually be a day when her father and Turquoise would also experience this pain. With this thought, Quenlyn felt a sense of satisfaction.
It’s not that she had never pleaded for help, but…
…every time she tried, Father Xylander would find a way to stop her.
So, this time, with Emma’s careful planning and Herman’s assistance, she finally understood how it felt to be in power and to get revenge.
Father Xylander did not say a word. He simply looked at Quenlyn from behind and felt that he had never truly understood his daughter.
As for Turquoise, apart from a swollen face, all she had left was complete hatred towards Quenlyn. But, Quenlyn did not care, because Emma had taught her not to.
Within this family, Quenlyn no longer needed to please others. Because, the more she tried to please others, the more she devalued herself.
Right now, her main priority was to make a comeback.
“Yanyan, are you feeling better?” Elder Xylander asked Quenlyn in a caring manner after he was done teaching the two a lesson.
As Quenlyn resembled her grandmother, Elder Xylander felt like he owed her. Whenever he saw her, he was extremely protective of her.
“Thank you grandfather, I’m fine.”
Did fine mean that she wasn’t good?
Elder Xylander’s exp**ssion darkened as he turned back to Father Xylander and Turquoise without a word. It seemed, he was gesturing that there was still plenty of time. Since he was moving in, dealing with a couple of cheap people wasn’t going to be difficult.
