Translator: 549690339
“Dear, I helped you spread the word. Now everyone in Five-river Province knows that the Leopolds are like dogs under your thumb!”
Ives Abbott swayed her cellphone in her hand, her face brimming with excitement.
She was ultimately a child, deeply intrigued by this kind of thing.
Add to that the Abbott Family’s great wealth and influence, which had fostered her reckless nature without regard for consequences.
A matter like today’s was bound to cause a sensation in Five-river Province.
But Ives Abbott didn’t see it that way.
As long as it could embarrass Atlas Leopold, she wanted everyone to know. If someone missed out, she would actually feel a twinge of regret.
“You…”
Julius Reed was truly at a loss for words.
Today, he had hit Atlas Leopold. Had it not been broadcasted, the Leopold Family might have dealt with the matter more discreetly.
But now, with the whole Five-river Province in the know, if the Leopold Family didn’t make a move, they would likely be the laughing stock of all the big shots.
“I helped you today, but if there’s a next time, you’d better look out for yourself.”
He glanced at Elize Yarrow.
This woman, he had come all the way to save her, yet instead of being grateful, she was trying to sling mud on him.
“Don’t!”
Elize Yarrow was completely terrified after what Atlas Leopold had done.
Without the Yarrow Family’s support, what could she rely on? Without her family, she was even less than an ordinary girl.
“Too late!”
Julius Reed turned and left the entertainment club without looking back.
Behind him, Allen approached Ives Abbott, “Miss, this behavior of yours is quite capricious! Not only could this put Mr. Reed in grave danger, but even the Abbott Family might suffer the consequences!”
He may have just been a bodyguard, but Ives listened to him intently.
She had been with the Abbott Family for so long, she treated him like her own family, and would even call him uncle when they were alone. Now that even Allen was saying this, she felt a hint of fear.
“What should I do then!”
Ives felt somewhat wronged.
“Forget it! Let’s go home first. We must inform Boss Abbott about this. Atlas
Leopold being hit in public is a huge incident that can shock the whole Five-river Province. The Leopold Family is certainly going to take bold measures this time!”
Allen sighed deeply and prepared to escort Ives back home with the other bodyguards.
Just as they were about to leave, the youths’ phones in the private room started ringing one after another.
“Leviticus Martin, did you hit Young Master Leopold?”
“Dad, I had no choice…”
“Get out! I don’t have a disobedient child like you. Go to the Leopold Family now, kneel before Uncle Leopold, and beg for his forgiveness! If the Leopold Family doesn’t forgive you, you can get out and never set foot in this house again in your life!”
“Dad…”
“Beep beep…”
It wasn’t just him; the others were in a similar situation.
“You disobedient child, daring to hit Atlas Leopold! You really want to kill me!
Get out! From today on, our father-son relationship is over!”
“Dad, listen to me, I can explain…”
“You explain to the Leopold Family! If they don’t forgive you, slap yourself until you’ve beaten yourself to death, you unfilial child!”
Soon, almost all the youths in the private room had received calls.
They looked ashen-faced, uncertain about what to do next.
Someone shouted, “Ives Abbott, damn you for posting on Moments! Damn it! That’s how my family found out about this!” “What! Ives Abbott, are you out of your mind!”
“Damn it! You’re crazy! You’ve really screwed me over!”
Everyone hurried to open their phones, only to see a video of themselves walking up to Atlas Leopold and delivering a resounding slap.
Now they had no chance to deny it, Atlas Leopold was initially stunned by the blow and might not remember who all had struck him.
But now, thanks to Ives Abbott volunteering evidence, they were directly pushed into the pit of fire.
“I really can’t believe you! You think we’re all dying too slowly!”
“Your Abbott Family has wealth and power, not afraid of the Leopolds! Can we say the same? If the Leopolds take revenge, my dad would wish he could kill me!”
“Exactly! You have a backer, you don’t care about our lives and deaths! Ives Abbott, from now on just go hang out with your rich friends. We can’t afford to play with you. If this goes on, you’ll get us killed sooner or later!” The young men were full of righteous indignation.
Even those with weaker mentalities had begun crying on the couch in the private room.
They had become instantly famous via the video.
This was a slap in the face to Young Master Leopold!
“I… I didn’t think things would turn out this way! I’m sorry, I’ll delete it now, I’ll remove it right now!”
As Ives Abbott opened the Moments to delete the video, she explained: “Sorry! I
really didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Don’t worry, once I delete it, they won’t be able to see it!”
Having said that, she clicked delete.
“Look, isn’t it all taken care of now! Always panicking over nothing!”
Although she knew she was in the wrong, it was still very difficult for Miss Abbott to admit her mistake.
“Damn it! Who the hell posted it in the group chat!”
Just then, a young man couldn’t help but curse out loud.
“Oh my god! Ives Abbott, you’ve screwed us over!”
In their circle’s WeChat group, someone had sent the complete video into the group chat.
‘Everyone, none of you think about escaping!”
After such a line was attached, everyone’s faces turned instantly pale.
“Elijah Leopold, you son of a bitch!”
Ives Abbott started cursing outright.
She sent a voice message: “Elijah Leopold, withdraw it immediately! Otherwise,
I’ll bring people to tear down your house!”
A moment later, a text message from Elijah Leopold appeared in the group chat.
“Ives Abbott, you lot bully others because of your power! Let me tell you the truth, even if you kill me, I won’t withdraw the message! Brother Leopold treated me like a true brother. I, Elijah Leopold, won’t let this go with you!”
“Damn! What a brownnoser!”
Ives Abbott let out another curse.
It was common knowledge that Elijah Leopold was Atlas Leopold’s lapdog.
Now that he had posted the video to the group chat, it was definitely beyond retrieval.
“Everyone! I’m sorry!”
Ives Abbott put her hands together in front of her, bowed deeply to the crowd, and ran out of the private room crying.
Although she was bossy, she had always been a good person, and knowing she had gotten so many people into trouble, her anguish was imaginable.
“Regretting it now?”
As she rushed out of the private room, she realized that Julius Reed hadn’t left, but was leaning against the wall near the room.
“None of your business!”
Ives Abbott cried out, unable to stop her tears from falling any longer.
“Forget it! For the sake of your father, I’ll help you out one more time. Now come in with me.”
Julius Reed shook his head, sighing.
He had come to Five-river Province to solve problems, so how had he run into even more troubles since his arrival?
“Really?”
Ives Abbott was somewhat skeptical but still followed him closely.
“Take out your phone and start recording. Everyone should do the same, every single one of you start broadcasting, make sure everyone sees it!”
Julius Reed directed the people inside the room.
Although they didn’t know what he was planning, everyone obediently took out their phones.
The reason was simple; these people didn’t dare disobey.
Julius Reed sighed deeply and suddenly lifted the table inside the private room.
