“What!”
Upon hearing Stanislaus Potter’s words, Miguel Abbott froze on the spot.
In their position, it was clear to them what consequences would follow if such a thing were to leak out.
Even if it were true, one could not admit it in front of so many people!
Besides, Stanislaus Potter was known for his meticulousness and would not easily reveal his true intentions. His rash disclosure today was completely out of character for the chairman of Golden Eagle Group.
Zalman Michael was equally wide-eyed. If Miguel Abbott did not help him for some reason, why then would Stanislaus Potter speak up against such rumors and slander?
This was no longer simply mud-slinging; it was an insult!
Based on what she knew of Stanislaus Potter, by now, a group of bodyguards should be dragging that son-in-law out and beating him half to death as a warning to those with similar intentions.
Everyone’s behavior today was beyond Zalman Michael’s expectations; nothing made sense to her.
“Uncle, don’t talk nonsense!”
Richard’s face went pale. How could such a thing be said openly? How would others view him after this? And would Quamaine Potter let him off the hook once he found out about it?
That notorious playboy was cruel and merciless when it came to matters of concern, how could he tolerate someone threatening his position as the heir to Golden Eagle Group?
If this matter were to spread, he feared he might lose everything he had and leave Five-river Province in disgrace.
This was a reality Richard could not accept!
It is easy to adapt to luxury, but difficult to return to frugality!
He was accustomed to a life of luxury; he could never go back to being the son of a worker!
“Have I spoken out of turn? Richard, apologize to Mr. Reed immediately!” Stanislaus Potter’s face was grim.
Although Richard was his illegitimate son, Stanislaus Potter did not skimp on his treatment. He sent him abroad to study, founded companies, and even paved the way for Richard in Five-river Province, which enabled the smooth operation of Fast Logistics.
What Stanislaus Potter did not know was that ever since Quamaine Potter got injured, Richard had been plotting to legitimize his position and take over the industries of Golden Eagle Group.
His collaboration with Zalman Michael was just an excuse to get close to Miguel Abbott, preparing for future use.
Indeed, having witnessed Quamaine Potter neglecting his duties, Stanislaus Potter once had the same idea. However, Quamaine Potter’s mother would never agree.
Therefore, he invested a lot of money, hoping that Richard could develop on his own, using his abilities to establish his own business empire in Five-river Province.
Now, having Richard apologize was also to protect him.
After all, Atlas Leopold had been battered into disability, how much trouble could an illegitimate child stir up?
Stanislaus Potter did not want both of his sons to end up disabled.
“Why? It was he who insulted us, Uncle…”
“Boss Potter, indeed, I misspoke,”
Julius Reed interrupted Richard’s words, speaking leisurely while sitting in his chair.
“Mr. Reed, this matter is exactly as you have said. I, Stanislaus Potter, am an open person, but indeed, I had intended to conceal this affair. After all, Golden Eagle Group cannot do without my wife, and if she were to learn of this, I fear…”
Stanislaus Potter did not finish his sentence.
“Could it really be true?”
Zalman Michael’s eyes widened.
She could hardly believe that this son-in -law before her knew such a well-hidden secret of Stanislaus Potter’s and, having revealed the secret, had not shown anger but rather acted in a very humble manner.
“No, when have I, Julius Reed, ever taken back my words? If I say he’s not lying, then he’s not lying!”
Julius Reed’s eyes fixed sternly on Richard’s face, and he spoke deliberately:
“He is not your illegitimate son.”
After this statement, everyone was stunned.
Everyone failed to understand the meaning behind Julius Reed’s words.
To reveal someone’s secret, to make them publicly humiliated, and then to wait for that person to admit it only to say it isn’t true afterward.
Who would believe that?
“What exactly are you trying to say!”
Richard’s complexion grew worse, and he even forgot about the wound on his face, appearing utterly ferocious.
“Stanislaus Potter, come to think of it, you still owe me a favor, don’t you!”
Julius Reed did not pay him any attention but snapped his fingers and, with a smile, looked up at Stanislaus Potter, “What’s wrong? Still holding a grudge against me? I’ve said before, come at me if you want revenge, and I won’t hold back when I hit back. Oh, and to prevent your son from dying at someone else’s hands, I’ve placed one of my men by his side, ready to take his life at any moment.”
After these words, Stanislaus Potter’s complexion went berserk! And the people around the dining table were so tense they could barely breathe!
Miguel Abbott and Maurice Yarrow were still okay since both had some understanding of Julius Reed. But Zalman Michael and Quella Radcliffe were completely stunned.
How dare this young man threaten Stanislaus Potter? What was he really about?
Zalman Michael subconsciously looked towards Miguel Abbott, but the latter showed no surprise and remained composed as usual.
Irving Harris’s legs had already been crippled by Julius Reed; what was it to him to threaten Stanislaus Potter a little?
In Miguel Abbott’s eyes, it wouldn’t be surprising if Julius Reed went ahead and beat up Stanislaus Potter right now.
Quella Radcliffe and Dempsey Davenport were so frightened they began to tremble. Girls were generally more timid, and added with Julius Reed’s blunt threat to Stanislaus Potter, they felt completely unsettled.
Dempsey Davenport cast a questioning look at Quella Radcliffe, but all she saw in the other girl’s eyes was the same worry and helplessness.
Even though he was her husband, Quella Radcliffe really had no idea about Julius Reed’s background.
“Mr. Reed, you must be joking, right?”
Stanislaus Potter awkwardly laughed as he said.
“If I were joking, then your son really would have died more than once!”
Julius Reed reached into his chest and pulled out a stack of photos from the inner pocket of his clothes, throwing them on the dining table, “Your illegitimate son really has some skill, huh? Actually bribing someone to try to kill Quamaine Potter and then take his place!”
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
Upon seeing the photos, Richard’s pupils shrank sharply. He lunged forward to destroy the evidence but was kicked away by Stanislaus Potter!
“This… this…”
Stanislaus Potter grabbed the photos, looking through them one by one. The more he saw, the more shocking it became!
During Ouamaine Potter’s recovery, someone actually tried to disrupt his oxygen supply, and later, they attempted to inject air into his body!
Photograph after photograph was of Stanislaus Potter’s own bodyguard, Thayer Taylor, whom he trusted the most!
“Why did you betray me!”
After seeing the photos, Stanislaus Potter spun around and glared at Thayer Taylor, who was not far from him.
Within the Golden Eagle Group, aside from the Seven Guardians, Thayer Taylor was the most trustworthy.
After Quamaine Potter was injured, Thayer Taylor was responsible for taking care of the young master, and he also accompanied him to the banquet.
When suddenly questioned by Stanislaus Potter, Thayer Taylor’s complexion changed drastically, and he stood up from his chair to run towards the door!
“Where do you think you’re going!”
Maurice Yarrow, from the group’s background, picked up a chair and violently threw it!
Thump!
The chair landed squarely on Thayer Taylor’s legs, causing him to stumble forward and collapse onto the ground..
