Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Indeed, what one fears, one brings upon oneself.

Zalmon Martin, who had been worried sick about this matter being exposed, never imagined her name would still be called out.

However, she quickly regained her composure.

As the PR manager, her ability to regulate her emotions was incredibly strong—merely by turning around, she seemed as composed as though nothing had happened.

“President Radcliffe, what do you mean by that?”

The matter of withholding the invitation was instigated by Zade Radcliffe, and only a very small circle of no more than five people were aware of it.

Moreover, these five individuals were core figures of the Radcliffe Family, and would under no circumstances betray the elder.

Zalmon Martin considered herself a startled bird, perhaps overly anxious.

“Do you not have an idea of what you have done?”

Quella Radcliffe leaned her body slightly forward, hands pressed on the conference table, staring intently at Zalmon Martin.

“President Radcliffe, I truly do not understand. While I, Zalmon Martin, may have limited capabilities, I demand that you present evidence if you claim I have acted against the company’s interests. Otherwise, this is nothing but a barefaced defamation!”

Zalmon Martin shifted her tone, somewhat sneeringly saying, “Could it be that you are trying to eliminate dissidents, suppressing us Radcliffe clan members?”

With these words, she bound herself firmly to the Radcliffe family’s ship.

Although Quella Radcliffe controlled the company’s power, she had yet to touch upon the most sensitive nerves of the Radcliffe clan members.

Even though they were not as economically powerful as before, the Radcliffe members were still employed by the company and had not been cast out.

If Quella Radcliffe was indeed trying to remove dissidents as Zalmon Martin suggested, they could not remain seated.

“Zalmon Martin, I only have one question for you—where is the invitation sent by the Titan Group? Why did you withhold it for yourself?”

When she reached the last few words, Quella Radcliffe’s pronunciation was emphatic.

And after she finished speaking, Zalmon Martin’s complexion turned pale in an instant, but she quickly adjusted her demeanor, “Quella Radcliffe, the group has not received an invitation; this matter is extremely detrimental to you. But you need not fabricate such lies and sling mud at me, do you?”

Ovidiu Cook, who stood by, was just about to speak when he heard Zalmon Martin’s retort, his expression softening considerably.

Indeed, she was a product of the PR department, with a sharp tongue that spared no one.

The Radcliffe clan members who had taken the claims at face value just a moment before were swayed by Zalmon Martin’s words; they realized Quella Radcliffe was looking for a scapegoat!

“President Radcliffe! Zalmon Martin is also a member of the company, and she has contributed her fair share. To dispose of her like an outdated tool is somewhat unkind!”

“Everyone knows that the company wasn’t invited, and while you may lack capability, you shouldn’t make Zalmon Martin take the fall, should you?” “This could dishearten our employees!”

The attendees began to speak one after another, collectively censuring Quella Radcliffe.

“Quiet! Can you let the chairman finish speaking?”

Dempsey Davenport slammed the table fiercely, and the room fell silent instantly.

With so many wealthy businessmen present today, she had thought for a moment that Quella Radcliffe was finished. However, their attitude came as a surprise to her.

Now that Quella Radcliffe openly accused Zalmon Martin of scheming behind the scenes, she believed it could not be without basis.

“You want evidence, is that right? Well then, the employee from the Titan Group is right outside; I can ask him to come in and testify!”

As Quella Radcliffe said these words, she also lacked confidence within.

The Titan Group, a very secretive mega-conglomerate, remained shrouded in mystery, with no one having any clear insight into its workings thus far.

Even the major families of Five-river Province had no knowledge of this conglomerate that seemed to have come from nowhere.

When Julius Reed mentioned to her that a representative from the Titan Group would come over, her initial reaction was disbelief. But she chose to trust her husband’s words.

However.

Would the Titan Group truly send someone?

Did her husband possess such influence?

“Quella Radcliffe, you’ve taken the joke too far!”

Zade Radcliffe was at first taken aback, then burst into laughter.

The others, realizing the situation, could not help a burst of schadenfreude.

This is simply boasting.

“Sis, how come you’re so amazing? Grandpa has been inquiring everywhere and hasn’t caught a whisper of this. And here you are, even contacting people from the Willson Group?”

Otis Radcliffe also wore a mocking expression, hardly believing Quella Radcliffe could be so capable.

When Zade Radcliffe was making inquiries, Otis Radcliffe had been right by his side.

Based on the confidences of various big bosses in Gonzalez City, he knew no one had seen people from the Willson Group. Even the wealthiest man, Ovidiu Cook, had no way to do so.

Now, Quella Radcliffe’s words seemed nothing more than the ramblings of a fool.

He faintly sensed that an opportunity might have come.

“Empty talk is useless; we need to see evidence!”

Zade Radcliffe asked sternly, “Suspecting our company’s employees without cause, how can such a leader take the group to new heights?”

“Exactly! Show us the evidence!”

“We would like to see if you really have such great abilities!”

The employees, one after another, no one believed Quella Radcliffe could truly bring an employee from the Willson Group. “Fine! Since that’s the case, I will make you thoroughly convinced!” Quella Radcliffe said expressionlessly.

But in reality, she was already panicking inside. Julius Reed had said the Willson Group employee would return, but they still hadn’t arrived.

Could there have been a problem?

If that employee didn’t show up now, she feared she would make a huge fool of herself.

Bang!

Just at that moment, the conference room door was kicked open.

A man in a suit entered, followed by two men dressed similarly.

The trio emitted an aura of menace, and the moment they entered, everyone felt an invisible pressure bearing down on them. “Who are you, and why are you trespassing in our company!”

Zade Radcliffe yelled angrily, “Security, get them out!”

“Hold on! I am the head of the special operations group at the Willson Group, Sheamus Young.”

The leading man took out a business card from his chest pocket and handed it to Zade Radcliffe, “We’re here to investigate a matter.”

Zade Radcliffe took the business card and saw that it was made of pure gold with a few diamonds embedded in it. It read: Head of Group One, Special Operations, Willson Group, Sheamus Young.

Just by the extravagance of the business card, it was more ostentatious than even the Titan Group’s.

More importantly, the diamonds were genuine.

“This…”

Zade Radcliffe was somewhat at a loss.

Sheamus Young snatched the business card back and asked coldly, “Who is Zalmon Martin!”

Zalmon Martin also felt an invisible force bearing down on her.

Faced with the powerful presence of the three men, she felt somewhat frightened inside.

“Our people sent an invitation to your company early on; how come President Radcliffe is unaware of this?”

Sheamus Young walked over to Zalmon Martin and asked without expression, “Did you keep the invitation to yourself!”

Confronted by his questioning, Zalmon Martin shivered in fear and hurriedly made excuses, “Don’t spout nonsense here. I don’t know anything about an invitation; it has nothing to do with me. I have something urgent at home and must leave now!”

After speaking, she turned to leave.

“Stop right there!”

The other two men stretched out their arms and blocked Zalmon Martin at the door.

“You must be very aware of how powerful my Willson Group is! The invitation’s code, 0328, that’s President Radcliffe’s birthday.”

No sooner had Sheamus Young finished speaking than Zalmon Martin collapsed onto the floor..
