Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Used Car_1

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Grandfather, why did you agree to it!"

After Sky Reed left, Otis Radcliffe stormed into Zade Radcliffe's office, furious.

"What good does it do us if Quella Radcliffe comes into power?"

He had severely suppressed Quella Radcliffe over the past few years and was extremely worried about potential retribution.

"And you have the nerve to ask me!"

Zade Radcliffe slammed his palm on the desk and roared, "Look at the mess you've made! Otis, you really have outdone yourself! If I didn't agree, did you want them to come audit us?"

"This..."

Otis Radcliffe was at a loss for words.

He had embezzled millions at the company, and an audit would surely land him in prison.

"I thought you would stop at a little embezzlement, but no, you're really greedy! Sitting in the general manager's chair, do you plan to bleed the entire company dry!"

Remembering Julius Reed's words, Zade Radcliffe's anger flared up once again.

In family businesses, a bit of embezzlement is quite normal.

But Otis Radcliffe was insatiably greedy!

"Enough! Even if she becomes the project leader, you are still the Group's general manager. Once the project is over, she'll be worth nothing."

After all, Zade Radcliffe's tone softened considerably for his favorite grandson.

"All right then!"

Otis Radcliffe sighed, his resentment toward Julius Reed deepening.

With such a large project, if he could become the leader, embezzling nearly ten million would have been a piece of cake.

But now, he could only watch helplessly as Quella Radcliffe took that spot.

Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing their parents!

After leaving Zade Radcliffe's office, Otis Radcliffe pulled out his phone: "Hello, is that Bear? Take care of someone for me!"

...

While some rejoice, others mourn.

Even after stepping out of the Radcliffe Group's front door, Quella Radcliffe felt as if she were dreaming.

"Julius, how did you do it? The one in charge of the company's finances is Otis Radcliffe's own sister, Niall Radcliffe; she would never give you the chance to audit the accounts."

During the meeting in the boardroom, when she saw Julius Reed recounting Otis Radcliffe's embezzlement evidence, she was incredibly shocked.

Because the timing of each incident was spot on.

And by looking at Zade Radcliffe's expression, it was clear that these were true.

Considering Julius Reed never left his house, how could he be so clearly informed?

"I sold my looks and seduced Niall Radcliffe."

Julius Reed cracked a smile.

He obviously couldn't admit it was Ovidiu Cook who had arranged for the investigation, right?

The wealthiest man in Gonzalez City certainly has that kind of power.

"Cut the crap! Give it to me straight!"

In three years of marriage, Julius Reed had always been honest and straightforward.

Such outrageous conduct, Quella Radcliffe knew, was something he would never engage in.

"The truth is, Sky Reed is a distant relative of mine. Since someone had to do it, it might as well benefit me," Julius Reed winked and whispered, "This way, I can openly be provided for. Working is so tiring!"

If it wasn't the right time, then a lie would have to do for now.

"Fine."

Quella Radcliffe felt that Julius Reed had changed, his entire aura had shifted.

Looking at the badge of dawn on her chest, she swallowed the question on her lips.

"Julius Reed, you loser! I must have been cursed with bad luck to marry into this family!"

From afar, Knox Ridge saw Quella Radcliffe weighed down by worries and assumed her daughter had faced opposition at the board meeting again.

So naturally, she vented her frustration on Julius Reed.

For three years, Julius Reed had always been the one to take the heat.

"Enough, enough! It's always the same whenever there's a meeting. I'm used to it!"

Burl Radcliffe alighted from his car too, speaking with displeasure, "Hey Julius, from now on, don't come to these kinds of events!"

"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about? The representative today is a distant relative of Julius."

Quella Radcliffe hurried over and took the hands of her elders, "Thanks to Julius, I could become the project leader."

"What? Project leader?"

Knox Ridge's eyes widened in disbelief, "Am I hearing this right? My daughter, the project leader? My goodness!"

"Don't joke around!"

Burl Radcliffe found it hard to believe as well.

"It's true! Julius really helped out a lot, so be nicer to him from now on!"

Quella Radcliffe whispered.

"What help could that loser possibly provide! It's my daughter who excels! Let me tell you, find a time to get a divorce, don't let him hold you back."

Knox Ridge snorted coldly, pointing at Julius Reed, "If you have any conscience left, don't hold back our girl's future!"

"Exactly!"

Burl Radcliffe nodded in agreement, "Julius, the two of you just aren't suitable."

"Enough!"

Quella Radcliffe's face turned ashen.

If it hadn't been for Julius Reed today, what relation would the project leader position have to her?

Yet, her parents were so materialistic, almost falling into the trap of money.

"Titan Group is a major company, and it's got money! Quella, after you become the project leader, you must grab a big handful!"

Knox Ridge beamed, feeling incredibly proud inside.

"That's right, listen to your mom! Look at this Passat we have at home, see the state it's in! This month, we're getting a new car for the household!"

Husband and wife were in sync, and Burl Radcliffe's vanity started to inflate as well.

"How can you be like this!"

Quella Radcliffe frowned, "Even if I do become project leader, I won't embezzle a single cent! Get that thought out of your heads!"

The entire time.

Julius Reed stood by without uttering a word.

"Let's go home!"

Knox Ridge was somewhat angry.

Everyone else was greedy for money, why put on an act of integrity?

"I'll take Quella to buy a used car, it'll be more convenient for work in the future."

Julius Reed spoke up from the side.

"No need, let's just go home."

Quella Radcliffe thought that Julius Reed was just speaking casually and didn't expect him to be serious.

"Let's go, it's inconvenient to have just one car at home."

Julius Reed smiled faintly.

"You? What could you possibly afford? Just don't buy a bicycle and shame the Radcliffe family!"

Knox Ridge rolled her eyes at them, her chubby face contorting.

"If we buy one, none of you get to ride it in the future!"

Quella Radcliffe's temper also flared.

Her feelings for Julius Reed had changed long ago, and now she couldn't stand her husband being humiliated.

"The two of you?"

Burl Radcliffe sneered, "If you really have the guts, then don't ever set foot in my Passat in your life!"

"Exactly, if I ride in your junk car, I'll take your last name, Reed! Mr. Radcliffe, let's go!"

After Knox Ridge finished speaking, the two hurried away in their Passat.

"Julius, that's just the way my parents are, don't take it to heart."

Quella Radcliffe stood there, head down, explaining.

Normally, she would never do this.

Perhaps subconsciously, she had begun to accept her husband.

"I've been in your family for three years, don't I understand them by now? They're still your parents, I won't mind!"

After finishing, Julius Reed took Quella Radcliffe's hand and headed toward the opposite side of the road.

Quella Radcliffe felt a tremor in her heart but didn't resist.

"Are we really buying a car?"

She looked up at Julius Reed, "I still have some savings, let's go buy one. Otherwise, you'll definitely be ridiculed by my parents when we get back."

"No worries, I have the money to buy a used car."

Julius Reed smiled faintly, took her hand, and crossed the street to the parking lot opposite the Radcliffe Group.

"Hey, isn't that Representative Davenport's car?"

Not far away, there was a Rolls-Royce parked, the same one that Sky Reed had arrived in that morning.

"Wait here a moment."

Julius Reed let go of her hand and quickly walked towards the car.

Soon, someone came down from the Rolls-Royce, exchanged a few words with him, and then the person walked away.

Then.

As Quella Radcliffe watched in stunned silence, Julius Reed got into the driver's seat and drove the car up to her.

"Get in, although it's a second-hand one, it's not bad!"

Through the window, he saw that Quella Radcliffe's gaze was stagnant, as if she had been stupefied.

It's just a Rolls-Royce, what's the big deal?


Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Big Brother_1

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"You... where did you get so much money?"

Sitting in the passenger seat of the Rolls-Royce, Quella Radcliffe felt as if she were in another world.

Scene after scene appeared dreamlike, continuously assaulting her brain.

"Just a secondhand car, borrowed it for a few days."

Julius Reed answered while driving, his face completely impassive.

"Really? You should not have, what if it gets scratched? We'd have to spend quite a bit of money."

Quella thought that Julius had borrowed the car just to save face.

"But indeed, this time the credit is yours. I'll allow you to be a freeloader for another month, and after that, you must go back to work."

Remembering everything that happened over the past few days, she felt especially joyful.

Her life, which had been so gloomy, seemed to clear overnight, turning bright and cheerful.

"Then I'll be your full-time driver from now on, no need for a salary."

After recovering his memory, Julius's personality had changed as well.

"Dream on!"

Quella made a funny face and said cheerfully, "Picking me up and dropping me off for work is a given, but you still need to find a job!"

"Sure!"

Julius Reed parked the car by the road and looked straight at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that..."

Quella blushed slightly.

In their three years of marriage, this was the first time Julius had looked at her with such deep affection.

"My wife, truly beautiful."

Julius smiled faintly and floored the gas pedal.

...

Ten minutes later, the two of them arrived downstairs.

Burl Radcliffe's Passat was already parked in its spot, and Julius skillfully parked the Rolls-Royce next to it, getting out to open the door for Quella.

"Julius, how come I didn't know you could drive?"

After getting out of the car, Quella examined it carefully.

This Rolls-Royce was practically brand new; not even a scratch was visible.

"That's because I didn't have a car."

After locking the car door, Julius tossed the car keys to Quella.

Two sets of car keys, one for each.

"Do you have a driver's license then?"

Quella caught the car keys and seemed to think of something.

"Well…"

Julius scratched his head, showing an awkward smile.

A driver's license—he appeared to genuinely not have one...

"You go upstairs first; I'll go buy groceries."

As he spoke, his attention was drawn to several pedestrians in the complex.

Having mingled here for three years, Julius was quite familiar with every face.

And those few individuals were glancing over occasionally, obviously up to no good.

"Okay!"

Quella nodded without giving it much thought.

For the past three years, Julius had always been the one to buy groceries.

"Why don't I go with you?"

After she spoke, she felt a bit embarrassed herself.

"Mom and dad are probably still angry. Try to soothe them, otherwise, I'm the one who'll get scolded again."

Julius shrugged with a helpless expression.

"All right!"

Quella nodded and turned to walk into the building.

Her parents were indeed a headache.

In an instant, Julius's expression turned ice-cold.

As if he became a different person.

He glanced at the unfamiliar faces within the complex and strode toward them.

"He's here, make it quick!"

The man in the white T-shirt flicked his cigarette butt away and pulled a baton from behind his back.

The other three men also took out their respective weapons, facing Julius as they approached.

"Buddy, don't be too..."

Crack!

Before he could finish speaking, Julius dashed forward and directly broke his arm!

"Beat him to death!"

The white T-shirt man's face contorted with veins throbbing; beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

"Get him!"

The men exchanged glances and lunged at him together.

Thump!

Julius flung the man he was holding, then kicked fiercely at the others rushing toward him!

In the blink of an eye, all four lay on the ground.

"Who sent you."

Julius squatted down, his face emotionless.

"Want to know? You can wait for death..."

Although the man in the white T-shirt had an arm broken, his tone was still defiant.

Julius stood up, placing his foot firmly on the man's other arm!

"Aaron Martin! In the north of Gonzalez City, Aaron Martin!"

The man howled in agony.

Julius took out his phone and dialed Ovidiu Cook's number: "I need you to look up someone for me."

...

West of the city, Copper Sparrow Terrace.

This is the largest entertainment venue in Gonzalez City, with daily cash flow nearing ten million.

Three years ago, a person known as Xiao Bai came here alone and turned Gonzalez City upside down.

In the subsequent six months, Xiao Bai spent a fortune to build Copper Sparrow Terrace.

And Xiao Bai himself was extremely mysterious.

Very few people knew what he looked like, and no one even knew his name.

But there was one thing everyone was clear about: Xiao Bai had a deep background.

At this moment, a Rolls-Royce slowly stopped at the entrance of Copper Sparrow Terrace.

"Sir, please come inside."

The receptionist approached Julius Reed, smiling as he spoke.

They could only treat these rich second-generation clients with the utmost caution.

"I'm here to find someone."

Julius Reed stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking at the omnipresent surveillance cameras overhead.

"Sir, may I ask who you are looking for?"

The receptionist was somewhat puzzled.

Most who came here were seeking pleasure and fun.

Looking for someone?

He feared that Julius Reed had come to the wrong place.

"I'm looking for your boss; if I'm delayed, the consequences are not something you can bear."

Julius Reed turned to the receptionist, making the latter's spine shiver with cold.

It was as if he were being watched by a ferocious tiger, his heartbeat unavoidably quickening.

"Aaron Martin, someone is looking for our boss."

The receptionist didn't dare delay, immediately going to the front desk and calling one of Xiao Bai's assistants, Dominating Tiger.

Half a minute later.

A big man followed by a dozen underlings came down from upstairs.

"Kid, you're looking for our boss?"

Dominating Tiger's bare-chested torso was tattooed with a black tiger.

"I'm looking for your boss, not you."

Julius Reed looked up at him, his pupils shooting out a hint of cold light.

"Kid, our boss isn't someone just anyone can meet!"

The voice of Dominating Tiger suddenly turned cold.

"Tell your boss to come see me."

Julius Reed commanded with an unquestionable tone.

"Heh, you dare talk to me, Dominating Tiger, like that?"

In Gonzalez City, the name of Dominating Tiger was known to all and feared by all.

As Xiao Bai's top enforcer, he was notoriously ruthless.

Bang!

Just then, Julius Reed threw a punch without any warning!

"Seeking death!"

Dominating Tiger sneered and threw a punch of his own!

But then, his complexion abruptly changed, and he stumbled backwards!

Crack!

A sound of breaking bones was heard; his hand bones had been shattered by that one punch.

"Tell your boss to come see me!"

In the blink of an eye, Julius Reed grabbed him by the neck with one hand and lifted Dominating Tiger up high.

"Who are you…"

Fear filled Dominating Tiger's eyes.

What kind of monster was this, who could break his hand bones with a single punch?

"Who dares to cause trouble on my turf?"

A hoarse voice came from the stairs, followed by a rush of hurried footsteps.

"Aron Jackson!"

Hearing the voice, Dominating Tiger became excited.

"Kid, do you know how to write the word 'dead'?"

At the stairs.

A man in white, with a cigar in his mouth, slowly walked down the stairs.

Behind him, densely packed stood more than a hundred men in black attire.

"Got a lot of nerve? You even dare to teach me how to write."

Julius Reed chuckled lightly, tossing Dominating Tiger casually to the ground.

"Ha, this is the first time someone has told me..."

But when he got a clear look at Julius Reed's face, the white-clothed man's cigar dropped from his mouth with a 'clatter' to the floor.

"Kid, this is Aron Jackson of Gonzalez City, you motherf..."

Smack!

Aron Jackson slapped Dominating Tiger across the face, knocking him to the ground.

"Big brother!"

He could no longer contain the excitement in his heart and knelt on the ground with a thump.

No one knew what this meant! But he knew it very clearly in his heart!

It meant that his former big brother had regained his memory!

Three years!

He had stayed here for three years, just to ensure Julius Reed's safety!

Hiss!

Everyone gasped in shock!

Who on earth was this young man!

He had actually made Aron Jackson address him as big brother!
