Actually, Julius Reed didn’t want to embarrass them like this, but just after he left, Richard still didn’t know when to stop, even intentionally demeaning himself.
Sorry.
Julius Reed is no saint, and he prefers to settle scores face-to-face.
But at that moment, Zalman Michael, who didn’t know whether he was coming or going, decided to join in, and that was simply asking for trouble.
Regarding this woman, Julius Reed was very clear about her background.
Just as the outside world rumored, Zalman Michael was Miguel Abbott’s mistress. Over the years, she had helped manage the Moonlight Group and had contributed significantly to Miguel Abbott’s business.
Later on, as the Moonlight Group grew and Miguel Abbott gained some power, Zalman Michael took the opportunity to set up the Maxwell Davenport Group, leveraging Miguel Abbott’s connections and funding to rapidly expand it!
Though she always wanted to shake off the label of mistress, the rumors had already taken deep root in people’s hearts.
It’s just that nobody would say it outright.
“Impertinent! Who allowed you to speak to Mr. Michael this way!”
Richard, having nowhere else to vent his frustration, saw the matter with Zalman Michael as an opportunity to get back at Julius Reed!
A mere live-in son-in-law, even if the Radcliffe Family wanted to protect him, he had offended Boss Abbott, and the matter wouldn’t end that easily!
“Richard, since when is it your place to interrupt a conversation between me and Mr. Michael? Or do you want me to spill the beans about your dirty little secrets? That wouldn’t be nice, would it? Young entrepreneur?”
Julius Reed simply pulled a chair over from a nearby table and sat down beside Richard.
“Julius, let it go! This is Willson Group’s property, don’t cause trouble, behave!”
Quella Radcliffe stood up and pushed Julius Reed, trying to get him to leave quickly.
Having offended both Stanislaus Potter and relatives of Miguel Abbott, she was worried about Julius Reed’s safety. After all, this wasn’t Gonzalez City, and Aron Jackson’s influence couldn’t reach here.
Moreover, for businesspeople like Stanislaus Potter and Miguel Abbott, if they truly decided to take action, the Radcliffe Family wouldn’t be able to influence the situation at all.
“Thinking you can leave? It won’t be that easy!”
Seeing Quella Radcliffe trying to make Julius Reed leave, Zalman Michael’s face turned dark: “My people are just outside the door, and speaking out of turn comes with a price!”
Her implication was clear, even if you wanted to leave, you wouldn’t be able to get out of this door!
In Five-river Province, Zalman Michael indeed had the power to make that happen with ease.
“And what would you have me do?”
Julius Reed gestured to Quella Radcliffe not to worry and turned his head to look at Zalman Michael: “A mistress is just like a chamber pot, taken out and used when needed, then tossed aside when not.”
“You!”
Zalman Michael was so angry that her face turned purple.
After all, she was the head of a group, a well-known businesswoman in Five-river Province. Even Stanislaus Potter and others, out of respect for Miguel Abbott’s face, would nod in greeting with a smile
But today, she was being called a chamber pot by a freeloader! To be equated with a chamber pot was a grave insult!
“You’ve gone too far! You’re nothing but a freeloading loser. Get down on your knees and apologize to Sister Michael immediately, or once you step out of this door, no one can guarantee your safety.”
Richard glanced at Julius Reed and then turned to look at Quella Radcliffe:
“Even your family members could get dragged into this!”
For a son-in-law who had come into the family through marriage, Richard felt he was completely justified. Not only could he get his revenge, but he could also win over Zalman Michael’s favor, and he might even coerce Quella Radcliffe into keeping him company—a classic case of killing three birds with one stone!
“Is this supposed to be a threat?”
Julius Reed tilted his head to look at Richard: “Do you despise sons-in-law who marry into the family?”
“That’s right! I indeed look down on freeloaders!”
Richard let out a cold laugh, responding in a tit-for-tat manner.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
Julius Reed shook his head, looking at him: ‘What’s wrong with being a son-in-law who married into the family? At least I earn my keep. Living off your spouse can also be considered a skill, certainly better than a bastard like you, right?”
“What did you say!”
Upon hearing the words “illegitimate child,” Richard’s face changed dramatically, and he stood up from his chair like a rooster whose feathers had been ruffled!
“I said you’re an illegitimate child! Isn’t that right? Your mother was once Stanislaus Potter’s mistress. Later, she married an honest man, only to discover that she was already pregnant after the marriage. You didn’t find out about this until you were fifteen years old, when she finally told you.”
As he spoke, Julius Reed crossed his legs and said with a chuck, “And after you learned about this, you ran straight to the Golden Eagle Group and shamelessly revealed your origins. It’s lucky that Stanislaus Potter is sentimental, for he sent you abroad to study and allowed you to start a business locally.”
“Enough!”
Richard bellowed, pointing at Julius Reed with shaking fingers, “Shut your mouth!”
This scene caught Zalman Michael’s eye, immediately setting her mind racing.
If what Julius Reed said wasn’t true, why would Richard be so furious? Moreover, knowing Stanislaus Potter as she did, such a domineering man unusually helped a young man who claimed to be a distant relative of his.
There must be something fishy going on.
“Oh! That’s right, now I know why you like hanging out with Zalman Michael so much – because both of you have a thing for lovers!”
Julius Reed continued to speak in his shockingly frank manner.
It took less than five minutes for his intelligence network to strip clean the young Richard Willson’s background.
In front of him, Richard was like a blank piece of paper, all his secrets clearly written upon it.
“You!”
Zalman Michael hadn’t expected to be insulted again and immediately stood up, threatening, “You will pay for this!” “Sure thing!”
Julius Reed shrugged nonchalantly.
“Say that again!”
With his shortcomings exposed, Richard’s eyes were bloodshot and his teeth gnashed audibly.
His voice was so loud that many guests present turned to look in their direction.
“Calm down, this isn’t the place to handle this!”
Zalman Michael kindly cautioned, but Richard was beyond listening; the secret that he was an illegitimate child was known to no one!
If it got out today, it would ruin him completely!
The self-proclaimed young talent, what face would he have to boast in front of others then?
Where could he put his face after this!
“What is going on!”
Seeing Richard throwing a tantrum, Stanislaus Potter and Miguel Abbott immediately approached him, leaving their front-row seats.
Being seated at the same table and noticing that Zalman Michael was also there, they decided to come over and see what was happening. Causing a scene at the Willson Group’s ceremony was not a wise move.
“Uncle, this person…”
“Uncle? Shouldn’t you be calling him dad? Richard, don’t you recognize your own father anymore?”
Julius Reed cut Richard off mid-sentence with a laugh.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s expressions changed.
This was Stanislaus Potter, after all! The Chairman of the Golden Eagle Group, one of the most powerful people in the Five-river Province!
Even Quella Radcliffe and Dempsey Davenport were shocked and hurried to pull him, trying to get Julius Reed to say less.
“So it’s… Mr. Reed!”
After his expression shifted several times, Stanislaus Potter only managed to utter that phrase..
