Hearing Julius Reed ask like that, Knox Ridge sensed something was amiss. “What? Could it possibly be from before the marriage?”
She furrowed her brows and said, “When you married into the Radcliffe Family, you didn’t have a penny to your name! You’re clearer about that than I am!”
At that time, Julius Reed had cured Zade Radcliffe’s illness, and the old man thought he had encountered a prodigy, impulsively deciding to marry Quella Radcliffe to him.
But later on, everyone slowly realized that not only did this guy have amnesia, but he was also a good-for-nothing who couldn’t do anything.
Of course, it wasn’t that he couldn’t do anything at all.
After all, doing laundry, cooking meals, and tidying up the house—these were all Julius Reed’s chores, and the Radcliffe Family had reduced his status from a son-in-law to that of a house servant.
Even sometimes, the respect Julius Reed received was less than that given to a doorman at the Radcliffe Group.
If Julius Reed had such a big house back then, he wouldn’t have had to tolerate such humiliation at the Radcliffe household, right?
“I’m asking you one last time, do you really want us to get a divorce or not?”
Julius Reed did not respond to Knox Ridge’s words, but stared straight at her.
With that question, Knox Ridge actually hesitated. The matter was nearly a sure thing, she had even prepared all the paperwork and hired a lawyer in anticipation.
But now, she felt unexpectedly uncertain.
However, she quickly recovered.
“Wow! Trying to scare me now! Julius Reed, I know all about your financial situation! Don’t try to act tough in front of me! Today I said to go get a divorce, and there will be no turning back!”
She slammed the table violently, reverting to her shrewish demeanor.
For three years, she had been longing for this moment, how could she possibly give up at the last minute?
“Yes! Julius Reed, accept reality! You and Quella Radcliffe were never from the same world, it’s better for both of you to part ways. Now if you behave, we can at least let you leave with some dignity.”
Burl Radcliffe also chimed in from the side.
No matter how it went, he had to support Knox Ridge’s decision.
“So it’s decided? Just don’t regret it later.”
Julius Reed clapped his hands, and Cosmo appeared behind him somehow. “Bring out the property deed, for the elders here to review!”
After he finished speaking, Cosmo promptly walked over to Knox Ridge with the property deed, and slowly opened it.
Although the sudden appearance of Cosmo frightened the old couple quite a bit, driven by curiosity, they still leaned in to see.
And what they saw shocked Knox Ridge so much that her eyes bulged like eggs.
The name on it was neither Quella Radcliffe’s nor Julius Reed’s, but Aron Jackson’s.
“Aron Jackson? Who is he!”
She had assumed that at worst the name on it would be Julius Reed’s, but now it was someone completely unknown to them, which surprised Knox Ridge. “Aron Jackson? He’s a friend of mine. Why, is there a problem?”
With a wave of his hand, Julius Reed signaled for Cosmo to put away the property deed.
“You… Hah! Julius Reed, it’s just a house. We, Quella Radcliffe, are now the chairperson of the Radcliffe Group. Do you think we covet your money? Go! Let’s proceed with the divorce right now!”
Knox Ridge was facing the situation head-on, adamant about getting the divorce done.
She was someone who would rather die than lose face and couldn’t back down easily.
The argument on both sides grew heated, with Quella Radcliffe caught in the middle.
“Stop fighting for a moment!”
Quella Radcliffe pulled Julius Reed into a room, then locked the door behind them.
“What do we do now?”
Her eyes were filled with plea.
The situation had escalated to this point, and she could no longer avoid it.
Some things must be confronted eventually.
“Since your parents want us to get a divorce, let’s just give them what they want to see.”
Julius Reed shrugged, his face unreadable.
“Twelve! You… forget it, if you want a divorce, then let’s divorce!”
Quella Radcliffe’s eyes flashed with a hint of loss, followed by a slight moistening.
During this time, she had come to depend on Julius Reed, or perhaps, truly regarded him as her husband.
If someone truly didn’t deserve the other, it was she who was not worthy of being Julius Reed’s wife, not the other way around.
Yet her own parents were relentlessly pressuring her.
Maybe it would be better for everyone if they separated.
“Don’t overthink it, it’s all an act. I’ll arrange it later, get a fake divorce certificate to show them. But you’ll need to cooperate with me, it might mean making your parents suffer a little.”
Julius Reed smiled and stroked Quella Radcliffe’s head, having seen her earlier reaction.
“You!”
Quella Radcliffe laughed through her tears, lightly hitting Julius Reed’s chest a few times, “I knew it, you heartless man!”
When the two opened the door and stepped out of the room, Knox Ridge was glaring at them, fuming with anger. “Well, have you thought it through?”
“Yes! We’re off to get a divorce right now.”
Quella Radcliffe went to the wardrobe, put on her coat, grabbed her backpack, and walked out.
Julius Reed, without uttering a word, followed behind her.
“Has our daughter come to her senses?
Burl Radcliffe nudged Knox Ridge, asking quietly.
“Who cares! This is good news!”
Knox Ridge, clearly not at ease, dragged Burl Radcliffe along with her, following Quella and the others downstairs.
After Julius Reed and Quella Radcliffe got into the Rolls-Royce, Knox Ridge also tried to open the car door, but just then, the door was locked from the inside.
“Hey! You…”
Knox Ridge placed her hands on her hips, about to explode in anger, when the window of the Rolls-Royce slowly rolled down.
“Now that we’re divorced, this car belongs to my relative, so I guess you’re no longer entitled to ride in it, right?”
Julius Reed smiled from inside the car, looking at the couple.
“Fine! You’ve got nerve!”
Knox Ridge. suppressing a flare of race unwillingly walked over to Burl Radcliffe’s Passat.
Accustomed to riding in luxury cars, sitting in that Passat was incredibly irritating for her.
But the thought of finally getting rid of Julius Reed, the thorn in her side, improved Knox Ridge’s mood considerably.
And so, the two cars left the compound one after the other, heading towards the civil affairs office.
On the way there, Julius Reed had already made arrangements with Aron Jackson, asking for help from his friends at the civil affairs bureau.
Therefore, under the watchful eyes of the old couple, they got a fake divorce certificate.
Seeing that the matter was finally settled, Knox Ridge’s hanging heart at last settled down.
“From today onward, our Radcliffe Family has nothing to do with you!”
She looked at Julius Reed with immense satisfaction. After three years, her wish had finally come true.
She was even eager to bring over the suitor she had already picked out, to introduce to Quella Radcliffe.
“Take care of yourselves, I hope you won’t regret this!”
Julius Reed didn’t say anything more but walked to the Rolls-Royce alone and slowly disappeared down the street.
“There’s something I need to tell you both,”
Once the three of them were in the Passat, Quella Radcliffe looked at her parents very seriously: “The money you borrowed before was all from Julius Reed’s friend. It’s time for them to prepare to pay it back. We’re no longer related, and we can’t keep spending someone else’s money, right?”
“Hmph! We’ll talk about it later!”
Knox Ridge snorted. The meat was already in her mouth; how could she think of spitting it out?
The ride back was silent, with each of them lost in their own thoughts.
But when the car arrived at the entrance of the compound, Burl Radcliffe braked suddenly, coming to a halt.
There, at the entrance of the building, were neatly packed suitcases and plants scattered all over the ground..
