Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 313
Chapter 313: Chapter 312 Uncooperative Security Guard_1
Zade Radcliffe and Otis Radcliffe had already been utterly defeated, like stray dogs kicked out of the Radcliffe Group.
But who would have known fortune favors the bold? Just when the grandfather and grandson were at their lowest, Zade Radcliffe had an idea and actually attended the Willson Group’s dinner party, meeting a group of wealthy businessmen from Five-river Province.
That very night, the boss of Brogan Electronics Company, Ham Calliope, called with an enthusiastic greeting before plainly stating that his company was lacking talents like Zade Radcliffe, offered him a substantial salary, and directly landed him the position of General Manager.
Otis naturally became the person in charge of the production line.
Even the owner of Moonlight Group, Miguel Abbott, and the Chairman of Golden Eagle Group bought shares in Brogan Electronics and started collaborations with the Radcliffe Group.
Zade and his grandson Otis realized that their chance to turn things around had come.
This time, they were determined to trample Quella Radcliffe underfoot and avenge their past disgrace.
Today, the grandfather and grandson had specifically gathered family members and local business magnates of Five-river Province to welcome the visit of two leading figures from the province.
When Otis saw Quella Radcliffe, he couldn’t help but proudly flaunt his new status.
“Come to think of it, I really should thank you. Otherwise, I would have only been able to sit as a Chairman in the Radcliffe Group, with probably not much room for growth in the future,”
Otis Radcliffe snapped his fingers, saying arrogantly, “A small place like this, how could it contain me, the Crossing the River Dragon!”
He heaved a sigh, “Heaven truly sees the truth. Isn’t it said that a loss may turn out to be a gain? I am now the person in charge of Brogan Electronics’ production line, pulling in millions a month. Oh right, do you know why those two distinguished guests came today? For our old man!”
Miguel Abbott and Stanislaus Potter, as if by prior arrangement, had both called the night before.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they proposed to visit the Radcliffe Group today to promote a cooperation significant enough to shake Gonzalez City.
And hearing this news, Ham Calliope, the boss of Brogan Electronics, even personally escorted Zade and Otis Radcliffe back to Gonzalez City.
It was indeed a triumphant return.
“You’re Otis, correct?”
Before Quella Radcliffe could speak, Anna Harris approached and gave him a once-over, “Logically speaking, Quella is your sister. Do you speak to your own sister like that?”
“Who are you!”
Otis Radcliffe, seeing a woman suddenly appear, waved his hand impatiently, “Security, get rid of these bystanders! Mr. Abbott and Boss Potter are coming to inspect the Group personally. This visit is crucial for the lifeblood of the Group. Any slip-up, and you all won’t be able to handle the consequences!”
“Yes! Young master!”
These people were loyal to Zade Radcliffe, and even though Quella Radcliffe was almost secure in the Chairman’s position, they still didn’t respect her.
Now that the Radcliffe family’s grandfather and grandson had triumphantly returned, naturally, it gave hope to these old employees of the Radcliffe Family.
They carried out the orders without any discounts.
“Lady, please leave!”
Two expressionless security guards walked over with stern faces.
“What are you doing! I am the Chairman, and this lady is my friend. Step aside,”
Quella Radcliffe frowned slightly and went straight to Anna Harris, rebuking harshly.
“Are you rebelling? Stop playing dumb, can’t you hear the Chairman?”
Dempsey Davenport, the Chief Financial Officer, noticed something amiss and immediately ran over as well.
Being a direct subordinate of Quella Radcliffe, she also held significant clout within the company.
The two security guards exchanged glances as if they hadn’t heard a thing, still staring straight at Anna Harris.
“You two are now officially fired. Take your contracts and head to the HR department to process the relevant affairs immediately,”
Dempsey Davenport, growing angrier the more she thought about it, found the two of them to be as stubborn as wood.
Inside the Radcliffe Group, Quella Radcliffe had given Dempsey Davenport the authority to hire and fire, effectively making her the acting Chairman when Quella was not around.
After all, most of the shares were in Quella Radcliffe’s hands, so the board was nothing more than a formality.
“Who do you think you are to point fingers at our Group’s people?”
Seeing Dempsey Davenport stepping forward, Otis Radcliffe’s face immediately darkened.
“I am the Chief Financial Officer and the Chairman’s assistant of the Radcliffe Group. May I ask, Mr. Otis Radcliffe, what exactly are you in the Radcliffe Group?”
Dempsey Davenport was naturally quick-witted, and when faced with Otis Radcliffe’s provocation, she naturally wanted to retaliate.
“I…”
Otis Radcliffe was at a loss for words for a moment.
Even though he had risen to prominence and didn’t need to exert much effort to acquire Radcliffe Group, at the end of the day, he was still someone who had been kicked out of the Radcliffe Family.
Within Radcliffe Group, his name had long been removed.
Moreover, the amount of money he embezzled and took as bribes during his tenure had all been made public by Dempsey Davenport to warn the members of the Radcliffe Family.
If it weren’t for Quella Radcliffe intervening, just based on those amounts, Otis Radcliffe would have had enough to be locked up for good.
So, Otis Radcliffe had harbored resentment toward Dempsey Davenport for a long time.
“What’s the matter, can’t say anything?”
Dempsey Davenport smiled triumphantly and looked at the two bodyguards in front of her, “Since you’re willing to work with him, then get out of this company! Let me remind you, as long as you’re getting paid by Radcliffe Group, do your damn job!”
“You damn woman! Who do you think you are, acting all high and mighty!”
Slap!
Otis Radcliffe walked over and without warning, slapped her across the face.
He had been holding back for a long time, previously unable to vent his anger, and now that he had returned in glory, he naturally wanted to show Dempsey Davenport some color.
It was less a slap on Dempsey Davenport herself, and more a direct affront to Quella Radcliffe’s dignity.
“Otis, what do you think you’re doing!”
Seeing Dempsey Davenport slapped, Quella Radcliffe immediately went over and shouted at the doorkeeper, “Catch this man and call the police right now!”
She had completely lost all hope in her own brother.
Or perhaps, he had never really considered her as his sister.
But as she spoke, the guards stood still like statues, not moving an inch.
“You…”
Quella Radcliffe took a deep breath, her face filled with embarrassment.
“Otis, you dare to hit me?”
Seeing that Quella Radcliffe couldn’t command the guards either, Dempsey Davenport went straight over and scratched Otis Radcliffe’s face.
While scratching, she cursed, “You heartless bastard, how dare you hit me!”
“Crazy bitch!”
Otis Radcliffe hadn’t been on guard and his face was immediately scratched by Dempsey Davenport’s sharp nails.
“Grab her!”
He dodged while giving orders to the security guards.
In truth, they didn’t need his commands, as the guards had already started to approach after Dempsey Davenport made her move.
Dempsey Davenport’s frail body was no match for a group of big men; she was captured in an instant like a small chicken.
“Let her go!”
Quella Radcliffe was thoroughly enraged.
To be bullied by outsiders at the entrance of her own company, and to have the security guards ignore her, the CEO, and instead assist Otis Radcliffe and his accomplices in their misdeeds was unacceptable.
“Pah!”
Otis Radcliffe took a tissue from his pocket and wiped the blood off his face, “You damn woman, today I’m going to teach you a lesson! Let you understand what happens when you offend the young master!”
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and walked step by step towards Dempsey Davenport.
“Stop!”
At that moment, Julius Reed, who had been behind the group, suddenly stepped forward.
