Sylas Ren swallowed nervously, his voice trembling. "Mother, do you really want to watch your husband kill your son?"
"I don't care, I don't care..." Seeing Sylas Ren disagree, the woman began to act spoiled and unreasonable. "Next time you have to take me with you, or else... or else I'll poison your father!"
Roxy Shangguan felt awkward. Was there really a mother who threatened her own son like this? Seeing Sylas Ren's pained expression, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
Noticing Roxy Shangguan's gaze, the woman turned to look at her. Her large eyes instantly sparkled with excitement. "So cute!"
Just as she was about to pounce on Roxy Shangguan, her steps suddenly stopped. She began spinning in place, muttering incessantly, "Damn it! Damn it!"
Sylas Ren quickly grabbed her, afraid she might faint without knowing why.
Seeing his mother's fierce expression, Sylas Ren felt a sense of dread. He asked cautiously, "Mother, what's wrong?" Please don't explode now! Father isn't here, so wouldn't that mean I'd be the one to suffer?
The woman suddenly roared, "You're asking me what's wrong? Can't you see your father's illegitimate child standing right next to you?"
"Illegitimate child?" Sylas Ren turned to look at Quentin Hua beside him, his face lighting up with realization. "No wonder you looked familiar to me the first time we met—turns out you look just like my father!"
Roxy Shangguan looked at Quentin Hua, then at Sylas Ren, and said blankly, "Are you two brothers? But you don't really look alike." After observing for a while, she reluctantly added, "Actually, there is a bit of resemblance!"
Quentin Hua frowned, unwilling to dwell on the matter. He was himself—whether he resembled someone or not, what did it matter?
"Hall Master Lei, if you don't carry the bride away soon, you'll miss the auspicious hour!"
Raymond Lei snapped back to attention and nodded repeatedly. "Lotus Sect Master is right." With a wave of his hand, he signaled his men to seize the bride, but this time he didn't do it himself.
"Father, save me!"
Seeing Charles Hua and Autumn Du both thrown aside, Wendy Hua finally realized she was truly in danger.
Autumn Du scrambled to her feet. Instead of rushing to save her daughter, she glared fiercely at Quentin Hua, her face twisted in rage. "You bastard, isn't it enough that you've ruined me? Now you want to ruin your own sister too?"
She hated Quentin Hua. If he hadn't looked so much like that man, she wouldn't have endured years of humiliation. If it weren't for Wendy Hua, and the fact that Charles Hua's concubines bore no children, she'd never have risen above her station. Wendy was her lifeline—she couldn't let anything happen to her!
Roxy Shangguan's little hands clenched tightly, her face tense with anger.
Even the onlookers outside murmured in disapproval. It was the Hua Family who had provoked Raymond Lei, yet now they blamed Quentin Hua. It made no sense! Besides, hadn't Miss Hua said she didn't want anyone's help? Now that they're not helping, it's as if they've committed some unforgivable crime. The Hua Family was truly impossible to please!
As Wendy Hua was about to be dragged out the door, Charles Hua's face darkened. He looked at Quentin Hua and said, "If you save Wendy, then you'll remain a young master of the Hua Family!" He was clearly asking for help, but his tone was condescending, leaving everyone uncomfortable.
Even the onlookers found it amusing—was Charles Hua crazy? Did he really think the Lotus Sect Master cared about being a young master of the Hua Family? With little affection for the Hua Family, the crowd naturally sided with Quentin Hua.
Roxy Shangguan snorted coldly, about to erupt, but suddenly a figure flashed before her eyes. In the next moment, Charles Hua and Autumn Du were both knocked to the ground, crying out in pain.
Wendy Hua's sobs faded into the distance, but the crowd outside didn't disperse. Mouths agape, they watched as the beautiful, lively woman swung her fists, each hand targeting one person, beating Charles Hua and Autumn Du until they wailed in agony.
Even Roxy Shangguan watched with her mouth hanging open, stunned by the scene and forgetting her anger.
Sylas Ren couldn't help but twitch his lips. He was used to it—his mother's temper was something he'd grown up with!
The seemingly pretty and cute woman was now shockingly violent, throwing punches left and right, all while shouting, "You two shameless scoundrels! Rude and uncultured!"
Smack! A harsh slap landed on Autumn Du's face, leaving her dizzy and seeing stars.
"You wanton woman! Tell me, did you seduce my husband? You even call your own son a bastard—what won't you do? Maybe you drugged my husband, didn't you?"
Another punch struck Charles Hua on the head, right on his wound. "You useless man! Can't even keep your own woman in check. Is it because you can't satisfy her that she went after my husband?"
Smack, smack! One slap for each. The woman began to roar again, "You two old fools, bullying others without knowing who you're dealing with! Can't you see he looks just like my husband? Insulting him is the same as insulting my husband! Now I'll beat you until you can't even recognize your own parents—let's see if you dare run your mouths again!"
Seriously, just because he looks like her husband, insulting Quentin Hua was the same as insulting her husband? Did that even make sense? And calling them 'old fools'? The crowd glanced at Quentin Hua, then at Sylas Ren, and finally concluded—she wasn't much younger than them herself!
But honestly, if you didn't know she had a son as old as Sylas Ren, she really did look quite young!
Sylas Ren made no move to intervene. When his mother lost her temper, he wasn't foolish enough to get involved. In fact, he ought to thank Charles Hua and Autumn Du—if not for them, his mother might have exploded at him. Now, at last, he was safe!
Quentin Hua watched the scene unfold, his eyes flickering. This woman might seem blunt, but she was actually quite clever. In just a short time, she'd figured out almost everything!
Although she looked furious after seeing his face, she didn't seem to suspect her husband of having any sort of affair with another woman.
