Chapter 512 What A Poor Role Model

"Settle down now. It's my dad's big day after all," said Wilbur while smiling.

Madeline looked around. For a huge family like the Harvey family here, everyone seated in the main

hall was part of the family tree. However, people interpreted the event just now differently. Many

sneered.

"Are you not going to give me an explanation?" asked Shane in a hushed tone when Madeline served

him another plate.

"About what?" Madeline looked at Shane, confused.

"About the fact that Colton hurt Wilda," Shane answered curtly.

Madeline already had an inkling that Shane was aware of everything, especially after he stood up just

now but quickly sat back down. There was no need to play pretend anymore. And thus, Madeline

snapped back derisively,

"You'll have to ask your granddaughter about it. She seems happy to be stabbed."

From the way Wilda had been looking at Noah, everyone could tell what trick Wilda was pulling here.

She would gladly take a few stabs from Noah himself, let alone from Noah's son. Before Shane could

rebuke her, she quickly blended into the groups of helpers.

Coincidentally, Wilbur came to invite Shane to give a speech to the guests outside, but his request was

promptly declined. When Shane turned around, Madeline was already nowhere to be seen. It was

bothering him and he asked his security guards to keep an eye out for Madeline. Looking around, his

eyes fell naturally on Colton, who was sitting next to Mia. Among the three kids, he liked Colton the

most. Because Colton was level-headed and mature, just like Noah. But if Shane had to guess who

among them was most likely to become aggressive, his first choice would be Thomas. Then the

cunning fox, Mackenzie. Colton would be his last guess. Shane was deeply intrigued by the three

children, so he summoned them before him. Those who wished to speak to Shane could only let their

jealousy brew further.

"You don't know those three kids? They are the sons and daughter of Noah Quincy. Wilbur is trying to

set her daughter up. Otherwise, why would they be allowed in here?"

"Shane refuses to let go of his power. Wilbur is desperate so he wants to marry off his daughter to

Noah. Together, they can launch a coup to make Shane resign."

Wilbur knew Noah was married but he still sent Wilda Noah's way. Contempt was written on all of the

guests' faces, especially those socialites who viewed homewreckers as their sworn enemies. Even the

friendly and popular Wilda was caught in the crossfire.

"You're the son of Noah?" Shane asked Colton.

Colton met Shane's gaze head-on. He answered Shane's question with another question. "What is

your relationship with her?"

From the very first moment they met each other, Colton had been observing Shane quietly, among

other Harveys too. The brief interaction Madeline and Shane just shared led Colton to believe that

there was more to their professional relationship. On Shane's side, although Colton didn't specify who

"her" was in the question, Shane knew very well who Colton was implying. The intelligence of this child

impressed him.

Shane was pleased with the specimen he chose. But before he could say anything, Thomas stood in

between them, took a good look at Shane, and told Mackenzie,

"Zeke, Mr. Solace looked at us like that too. It's giving me the creeps."

"When someone gives us the death stare like that, it usually means they are our long-lost relatives,"

Mackenzie stated matter-of-factly.

Shane gasped, wondering if the secret he tried so hard to keep had been leaked.

"If he's our relative, I suppose we can let that evil woman walk free." Thomas gave Shane the you're-

welcome look.

Shane watched in disbelief. The victim was Wilda. How was she the evil woman here? And were they

planning to take revenge on Wilda? Either way, Shane knew he had to hand a humble pie to these

snobbish kids. The society out there was not going to be kind to them.

"You hurt someone, despite your tender age. Did your parents not tell you that it's not right to do that?"

"You bad-mouthed someone else's parents in front of their kids, despite your senior age. Did your

parents not tell you that it's not right to do that?" retorted Thomas as he took Colton out of Shane's

hands.

"What a poor role model," Mackenzie added insult to injury.

"I don't know what you're planning. But those who hurt my mommy will suffer," warned Colton.

Shane wasn't mad at the onslaught of verbal attacks. Instead, he was moved by the three kids. All the

kids of the Harvey family only knew to watch out for themselves. Before they did anything, they would

weigh the pros and cons. It had been a while since Shane last met someone this selfless before. The

last one was... Eliza.

Tears welled up in Shane's eyes. Thomas took a few steps back cautiously. They were all alone at this

table. Thomas thought that Shane was trying to pull an act and framed them for something.

"No one would believe your horrible acting skills." Mackenzie had the same idea too.

The tender moment Shane had was shattered into a million pieces. To give himself some time to calm

down, Shane asked Colton, "What makes you think that you can make those who hurt your mommy

suffer? Because you have a rich daddy?"

Colton rolled his eyes. "How hard is it to deal with simpletons?"

Shane felt his blood pressure rising. The Harvey family was the most prestigious family in Phille. They?

Simpletons?

"I bet he is a human trafficker. Let's go find Mommy." Thomas held Colton and Mackenzie in both his

hands and left.

Shane let out a bitter smile as the three kids hopped, skipped, and jumped away. He then told his

guards to follow them to make sure they were safe.
