Chapter 168 Marry Into The Solace Family
The next afternoon, Waylon and his wife went to the Solace residence, bringing some expensive gifts with the excuse of visiting Winnie.
Zachary and Winnie were the only ones present other than the housekeepers.
The Solace family had always kept a low profile and rarely held activities in their name. Hence, the Solace family did not interact much with upper-class society, but that did not mean they were ignored in Juxshire.
On the contrary, if any other family held an event, the attendance of the members of the Solace family would fill the upper-class society with heated discussion.
This was the first time Waylon and Quincy visited the Solace residence, and it was different from what they imagined.
The courtyard was vast, but the residence was only one main building. It looked somewhat ancient. Although the interior layout design was detailed, many setups were obviously quite old. One could say they were outdated
The housekeeper led the way as Quincy tooked around.
She thought a place like the Solace residence should be very magnificent.
The housekeeper took Waylon and Quincy to the lounge on the first floor. The lounge was not spacious, but the furnishing was quite excellent. However, Quincy could not point out what was unique.
On the other hand, Waylon walked to a vase and carefully examined it.
Quincy glanced in the door’s direction and guessed no one would enter for a while. She hurriedly walked to Waylon and whispered, “Honey, didn’t you say that the Solace family has a family history of a few centuries? They don’t seem like it.”
“Could it be just a false rumor?” She pondered.
Waylon looked at her sideways displeasingly. “Sit back down. Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know anything.” Everything about Quincy was good. She looked attractive and had a nice figure. She was thoughtful and prioritized Waylon in all aspects. However, she was poorly educated and knew little.
After being married into the Ziegler family, she had not improved at all.
Quincy would show respect to Waylon outside and obey him. After hearing his orders, she immediately returned to her seat and sat properly. She straightened her posture and puffed up her chest. When she did not speak, she looked like a true wealthy lady.
The two sat in the lounge for nearly a quarter of an hour when Zachary came in hand-in-hand with Winnie. “Mr. and Mrs. Ziegler, our apologies for keeping you waiting.” Winnie said with a smile.
Waylon and Quincy immediately stood up. Waylon said, “Don’t say that, Mrs. Solace. It’s us who came to visit without early notice. We should be the ones to apologize.”
With that said, Waylon looked at Zachary. The latter nodded lightly and sat Winnie on the main seat.
Winnie waved and said, “Don’t just stand there. Have a seat.”
Waylon and Quincy took their seats.
In terms of age, Zachary and Winnie were about ten years older than Waylon, and Waylon’s eldest son was about the same age as Layla.
In terms of seniority, they were the same.
Even so, Waylon still felt slightly guilty as he stood in front of Zachary and Winnie.
Perhaps it was because Zachary was present that Waylon could hold his spot.
After sitting down, Quincy could not help but secretly examine Winnie.
Winnie was almost 70 years old and did not look young. Her hair was nearly all white, and she was a bit plump, but she had a commanding aura even though she was old.
Quincy felt both jealous and inferior. All these years, the Ziegler family and the other affluent ladies of the society had considered her undignified and shameless

Their eyes met, and Quincy became embarrassed. She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Yet, Winnie smiled at her calmly and eyed the couple. “Why did you come here today, Mr. and Mrs. Ziegler?”
Waylon said, “I heard you were in poor health, so we wanted an opportunity to visit you, Mrs. Solace. Unfortunately, there was too much work, and we couldn’t find the right time. We returned from abroad yesterday and brought some supplements, so we wanted to bring them to you.”
He delivered his message beautifully, but the people present were all over the age of 50. No one was a fool, and they merely listened to the courteous talk
Winnie replied with a smile, “Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Ziegler.”
Quincy quickly added, “Not at all. It’s what we should do. There’s no need to be polite with us.”
As soon as she said that, Waylon glared at her coldly.
Quincy was puzzled and thought, “Did I say something wrong?”
She looked at the other two again. Winnie still had a gentle smile while Zachary was enjoying some coffee.
Both seemed like they did not mind. Quincy could not understand what they were thinking.
Waylon hurriedly explained, “My wife is young and ignorant. Please forgive her, Mrs. Solace.”
Winnie’s smile widened. “You’re lucky, Mr. Ziegler.”
Hearing that, the corner of Waylon’s mouth twitched awkwardly.
Quincy felt Winnie had said something nice, but Waylon did not seem to like it. Quincy was confused.
Waylon coughed to clear his throat and went straight to the point. “Actually, I have other reasons for visiting you two, Mr. and Mrs. Solace.”
“Oh?” Winnie raised her eyebrows with interest. “I wonder what it is.”
Zachary also looked at Waylon.
Being the subject of their interest, Waylon paused for a while before he smiled and said, “It’s about my daughter and Mr. Christopher Solace.”
Winnie stared at Waylon for two seconds. “Our Christopher?”
Waylon nodded. “I also heard about them recently. Christopher and my daughter, Margaret, are dating, and they…”
Waylon did not continue speaking, but Zachary and Winnie both understood him.
The two exchanged looks without showing much emotion on their faces. Only Winnie subtly frowned. Then, Waylon explained what had happened to Zachary and Winnie.
After hearing this, Winnie’s frown deepened. She looked at Waylon and Quincy with some hesitation. Zachary’s expression was a little cold as he said nothing.
Seeing this, Quincy panicked and could not help but say. “This is all because of one’s evildoing. Yuliana’s father was Damian, and I’m sure you’ve heard of him. Before this, she used to be the Ziegler family’s daughter-in-law. A few months ago, our Harry had just divorced her. The Ziegler family had treated her well for three years, and we took care of her after what happened to her father. We didn’t expect her to be so inappropriate and fool around with other men behind Harry’s back. Harry had no choice but to divorce her. He didn’t disclose this to the public out of respect for her.”
Quincy continued, “I don’t usually bring up family affairs publicly, but I don’t think of you as an outsider, Mrs. Solace. We were sincere with Yuliana, but she turned out to be an ungrateful snake. Not only did she bite the hand that fed her, but she also stole Marge’s boyfriend!”
Quincy wiped her tears.
Winnie gazed at her and stopped smiling.
Zachary glanced at Winnie and spoke at the right time, “We understand what happened. Rest assured. The Solace family will give you an explanation.”
Hearing this, Quincy secretly grinned as she covered her face.
After sending Waylon and Quincy away, Winnie grumbled angrily, “Who do they think they are to let their
daughter marry into the Solace family?”
