“Mr. Reed, this video…”
After Brayden Leopold left, Octavius looked very serious.
Since Atlas Leopold was injured, he had sent many people to follow him, even including Atlas’s personal nursing staff among his spies.
However, so much time had gone by without Octavius hearing anything about Atlas’s recovery.
You have to know that he had already spent millions trying to bribe those nursing staff members to get information.
Were these people taking his money and not doing anything?
But Octavius felt that wasn’t the case, at least the information he received before had been accurate.
“Haven’t you heard of AI face-swapping?”
Julius Reed took back his phone, stood up from the café, “Brayden Leopold has wanted to get rid of Atlas Leopold for a long time, I just gave him a suitable excuse to convince himself!”
Then it dawned on Octavius.
Not long after the three had left, they received a phone call from Quella Radcliffe.
Over the phone, Quella Radcliffe told Julius Reed in a worried tone that a good friend from her university days had come back and would be staying in Five-river Province for a while before returning to Gonzalez City, hoping he could help with the reception.
Julius Reed was very reluctant to do such a boring task, but since Quella Radcliffe had asked, he didn’t feel good about refusing.
So, he arranged for Lucan Davenport to go back first, and Octavius followed Julius Reed to the Five-river Province airport.
Octavius, the Chairman of Moonlight Group, initially planned to pick them up in his own luxury car to show support for Julius Reed, but was once again rejected. The two of them simply took a taxi to the airport.
It wasn’t until they were on the road that Octavius realized that someone like Julius Reed must be accustomed to keeping a low profile!
But actually…
When the two got married, Quella Radcliffe’s close friend wasn’t in the country; she only sent a red envelope through WeChat and even made fun of Julius Reed.
Despite having lived for countless ages, that didn’t stop him from holding grudges.
Soon, the taxi arrived at the airport, Octavius stayed in the taxi, while Julius Reed got out alone to meet the person.
About five minutes later, two men and three women came out laughing and talking, among them was one of Quella Radcliffe’s best friends, Anna Harris.
Anna Harris and Quella Radcliffe were college classmates, and later went to study abroad, only now returning to her homeland for the first time.
Because she hadn’t been back to Five-river Province for a long time, she thought of asking Quella Radcliffe over to hang out.
But when did Quella Radcliffe have the time?
Under Ovidiu Cook’s suggestion, many companies had already started to form partnerships with the Radcliffe Group. At this point, the task of playing host naturally fell on Julius Reed.
But there was another reason Quella Radcliffe did this, which was to better integrate Julius Reed into her own life, become familiar with all her good friends.
After all, over these three years, many of Quella Radcliffe’s friends were not satisfied with Julius Reed, feeling that this son-in-law had held Quella Radcliffe back.
“Miss Anna Harris!”
Upon seeing Anna Harris, Julius Reed waved his hand.
Though he was reluctant, he still had to do what his wife had asked of him.
“Wow! Who is that? He looks good! Anna, is he your lover here in the country?”
A woman in a bodysuit wearing sunglasses and holding a cup of coffee asked.
“That’s not it at all! Anna, it’s really mean of you not to mention such a big deal to us!”
Another woman in a white dress also removed her sunglasses and scrutinized Julius Reed carefully.
“Oh, does our Anna have a suitor now?”
The expression on the face of a man behind them changed for the worse for a moment, but he quickly covered it up.
His name is Joel Martin, he is Stanislaus Potter’s nephew, and these years abroad he’s been indulging in pleasure and leisure, just happening to run into Anna Harris and her group.
During this time, he has been pursuing her openly and secretly, but Anna Harris doesn’t really like him that much.
It’s just that, out of concern for appearances, she hasn’t explicitly rejected him.
“Hehe! Young Master of the Martin Family, little Anna Harris is already taken, what do you think about me?”
The long dress woman looked at Joel Martin with a giggly smile.
She actually fancied Joel Martin quite a bit, after all, coming from a wealthy family, and with her uncle being a local tycoon, if she truly managed to latch onto him, she’d definitely soar to great heights.
“I don’t know you!”
It was at this moment that Anna Harris took a careful look at Julius Reed, shook her head after confirming she had not mistaken him for someone else.
“No way! Could he be your famous admirer? Miss Anna Harris, you’re so impressive! You’re even famous domestically!”
Another woman in a tight black outfit pursed her lips and let out a laugh.
Her name is Heather Gonzalez, from the local Gonzalez’s Family, and although they couldn’t compare to Stanislaus Potter’s family, they were still quite a well-known clan in Five-river Province.
“Get lost!”
Anna Harris said irritably, while she sized up Julius Reed again, making sure she really didn’t know this stranger.
Although she had seen Julius Reed before in Quella Radcliffe’s wedding photos, no matter what, Anna Harris could not associate the man before her with that good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Radcliffe Family.
“Anna Harris!”
Seeing that she seemed to be ignoring him, Julius Reed raised his voice again.
“Who are you!”
Upon hearing Anna Harris say she didn’t know this person, Joel Martin obviously saw the other man as a potential threat; after all, a man calling out a woman’s name was unlikely to mean anything good.
He quickly stepped in front of Julius Reed and asked with an unfriendly tone, “Stop shouting around here!”
The snub he had received from Anna Harris earlier was fully avenged in this moment.
“My name is Anna Harris, what’s that to you?”
Julius Reed raised his eyebrows, waving his hand impatiently, “Beat it! I’m busy and I have to go after picking someone up! You got that? I’m in a rush!”
Picking up Anna Harris was something that already displeased Julius Reed; he hadn’t any particular liking for the woman, and if not for Quella Radcliffe’s repeated instructions, he would have asked Miguel Abbott to just assign someone to send her off.
“Hehe! Do you even know who I am?”
Joel Martin was actually amused by Julius Reed’s remark, “Do you believe I could have you crippled in minutes?”
Relying on his family’s wealth, he had been a schoolyard bully, always surrounded by a crowd of young followers calling him ‘big brother’.
Though he was now out of the school environment, this attitude hadn’t faded but had grown increasingly severe.
“Whether I know you or not, what’s that to me? Beat it!”
Julius Reed pushed Joel Martin to the ground with one shove and strode toward Anna Harris.
“What are you doing! I’m calling security!”
Anna Harris became somewhat frightened as Julius Reed approached aggressively and even pushed Joel Martin to the ground, thinking she might be the target of some retaliation.
And another man hurried over to block the way, “This is a society governed by law. Dare to mess around again, and I’ll send you to jail!”
The man spoke with icy coldness.
As for the long dress woman, seeing Joel Martin pushed down, she was even more enraged. She stepped forward, looked at Julius Reed, and said angrily, “What right do you have to push people around!”
“What a hassle! Anna Harris, why don’t you just call Quella Radcliffe, tell him I came to pick you up, but you refuse to go with me so I can be done with this duty, okay?”
Julius Reed sighed, finding himself in unnecessary trouble.
