Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Having gone through such an ordeal, both Olayinka Davenport and Lance Casey had little appetite for food. After sending the two home, Julius Reed took Quella Radcliffe back to their previous residence.

“Don’t go out alone in the future, it’s not very safe.”

Julius Reed glanced at Quella Radcliffe, who was gloomy in the passenger seat, and softly cautioned her.

In front of others, he could kill without blinking an eye, but to his own wife, Julius Reed was only tender.

Instead of living in confusion for countless years, it is better to treasure the present and spend every day with the person before you.

Quella Radcliffe hummed softly, the look of worry on her face not easing.

Just then, her phone suddenly rang.

“Amanda, what’s happening so late at night?”

The caller was Dempsey Davenport, the Finance Director appointed by Quella Radcliffe, and the person she trusted the most.

It was already nine in the evening, and given Dempsey Davenport’s style, she definitely wouldn’t make urgent calls without something important.

“Quella, today I had drinks with a junior assistant from the company, who is one of the Radcliffe Clan. She drank a few more glasses than usual today and let slip that at the board meeting tomorrow, Zade Radcliffe will impeach you on the grounds of impeding the company’s development. Even though you hold most of the shares, Zade Radcliffe has invited several major figures from the Gonzalez City business community to pressure you into a corner!”

Dempsey Davenport stated anxiously over the phone.

Having returned from studies abroad, she was not only excellent in business skills but also adept at handling interpersonal relationships.

Sensing the recent whiff of gunpowder within the company, Dempsey Davenport immediately drew in ignored members of the Radcliffe Clan to gather some intelligence.

It turned out that capitalizing on the establishment of Willson Group, Zade Radcliffe was making a big deal out of it, intending to use the fact that Quella Radcliffe wasn’t invited to push her out of the chairman’s position.

Otis Radcliffe was actively moving in the circles of Gonzalez City with his funds, leveraging his grandfather’s networks, and had reached agreements with many local enterprises to garner their support.

“Alright, I got it!”

After hanging up the phone, Quella Radcliffe clenched her phone with both hands, her face showing a pained expression.

Even though she could sweep Zade Radcliffe and his grandson out of the house, even though she could purge the Radcliffe Clan members within the company,

she herself was ultimately a Radcliffe, and Zade Radcliffe was her biological grandfather.

The pain in Quella Radcliffe’s heart wasn’t about the gain and loss of the chairman’s position, but the anguish of being betrayed by family.

No matter what she did, how she proved herself, even with the Radcliffe Group thriving under her leadership, Quella Radcliffe’s status in the hearts of Zade

Radcliffe and other clan members would never be even a fraction of that of Otis Radcliffe.

“Trouble?”

Julius Reed, with his sharp hearing, had already clearly heard Dempsey Davenport’s words.

Actually, during his time in Five-river Province, he had been paying attention to the Radcliffe Group, worried about these people working against Quella Radcliffe.

As expected, the old fox couldn’t hold back and was ready to make a move.

“It’s nothing, I can handle it.”

Quella Radcliffe forced a faint smile and looked at Julius Reed, “You don’t need to worry about me, there won’t be any problems.”

Now she was very aware that Julius Reed was a man meant for great things, surrounded by influential figures.

If she couldn’t lend a hand from behind, then she would strive not to become a burden to her husband.

“About the invitation from Willson Group?”

Julius Reed had heard everything clearly on the phone just now.

If he remembered correctly, Willson Group indeed sent an invitation to Radcliffe Group, and though it didn’t contain anything special, it did, like other enterprises, send an invite for one seat.

Quella Radcliffe hummed in acknowledgement, leaning back in her seat and rubbing her temples.

This matter was giving her a headache—if other technology-type enterprises in Gonzalez City hadn’t received an invitation, that would be another story.

But when even a company like Wooden Technology, which was lesser than Radcliffe Group, had received an invitation, it inevitably made people talk.

“Willson Group emerged too strong; virtually the entire Five-river Province’s enterprises want to jump on this huge ship. At this juncture, our Radcliffe Group not receiving an invite is indeed questionable. But it’s nothing, I will send someone tomorrow to pull some strings, to inquire.”

There wasn’t much to hide between them, and since Julius Reed had asked, Quella Radcliffe gave it to him straight.

“That doesn’t make sense! I have a friend who is an executive at Willson Group, and he mentioned to me before that basically any slightly reputable company would be present at the ceremony. Radcliffe Group isn’t a small enterprise in Gonzalez City, so they should have received an invitation.”

Julius Reed felt that something was fishy.

When the invitations were initially sent out, he had personally reviewed the invited companies; there couldn’t be a mistake.

“I also find it strange, could it really be because I’m too young that Willson Group looks down on Radcliffe Group?”

Quella Radcliffe sighed deeply, feeling very complicated.

“Hold on, I’ll make a phone call to ask my friend.”

Julius Reed pulled the car over to the side of the road and stepped out to make a call.

“The invitation for Radcliffe Group, has it been sent out?”

“Mr. Reed, it was dispatched the day before yesterday, by my estimation, Radcliffe Group should have received it yesterday. Is there a problem?” A supremely respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.

“But my wife hasn’t received it, check it out for me right away,”

Julius Reed glanced at his watch, “I’ll give you half an hour, is that enough?”

Originally, he only wanted to give the other party five minutes, but clearly, five minutes wasn’t realistic.

After making the call, Julius Reed got back into the car and continued driving home.

“Julius, you still have friends inside Willson Group?” Quella Radcliffe looked at her husband with great curiosity.

It was all so mysterious.

The Willson Group seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, without any warning, and no one even knew who the real boss was behind it.

Yet her own husband actually had friends there? “Does that surprise you?”

Julius Reed gave a faint smile, driving the car steadily.

Soon, the two of them arrived back at the mansion.

In the periphery of this upscale community, people from Willson Pavilion lurked, constantly protecting Quella Radcliffe’s safety.

But up until now, the Eastern Bay Warrior had not shown up.

Although Cosmo kept investigating, there were no leads.

Just as they were about to go upstairs, Julius Reed’s phone rang.

Twenty-four minutes.

“Mr. Reed, we have figured it out! It was the manager of Radcliffe Group’s public relations department who personally withheld the invitation. As for who instructed this, I still need a little more time,”

“Very well, ”

Julius Reed nodded, the situation was almost as he had anticipated, the troublemaker was inside the group.

If someone wanted to play, then he would play along to the end.

“I have already spoken to my friend, and they will deliver the invitation tomorrow, don’t worry.”

After hanging up, Julius Reed patted Quella Radcliffe’s head.

“Really? Your friend has such great influence?”

Quella Radcliffe was incredulous.

“It’s a small matter, you’ll be even more surprised in the future.”

If Quella Radcliffe knew that the real boss of Willson Group was actually him, it’s hard to say how this girl would react..
