“Julius, aren’t you afraid of Radley Ridge’s revenge for offending him like this?” Quella Radcliffe followed behind Julius Reed, feeling somewhat worried.
Radley Ridge was notoriously two-faced, all smiles on the surface but ruthless and brutal in his actions behind the scenes.
It was precisely because of this trait that Quella Radcliffe extremely disliked him.
Now that her own husband had offended Radley Ridge, Quella Radcliffe was particularly concerned.
“Don’t worry! If he dares to lay a finger on you, I’ll make sure he dies a horrible death!”
Julius Reed patted Quella Radcliffe’s head with a faint smile.
Radley Ridge was insignificant. If he so wished, he could crush him with just a flick of his finger.
“That’s good…”
Feeling a warmth in her heart upon hearing Julius’s words, Quella Radcliffe was comforted.
Even now, she felt as if she were dreaming. How could her husband, once scorned as a failure, suddenly change so drastically?
“Do you still remember our wedding anniversary? With this on her mind, Quella Radcliffe tentatively asked.
“March 28th, what about it?”
Julius Reed said, holding her hand as they walked down the restaurant’s corridor.
Three years ago, on March 28th, they both entered the marriage hall together.
The wedding caused a sensation across Gonzalez City; Julius Reed vividly recalled Quella Radcliffe in her wedding dress, standing beside him like a fairy.
But back then, the expression on her face was somewhat cold.
“Why are you suddenly asking about this?”
Julius Reed turned his head, looking at his wife.
“No… Do you remember when my birthday is?”
Quella Radcliffe asked, head bowed low, not looking into Julius’s eyes.
“Also March 28th. You said you wanted to get married on your birthday, and I agreed,” Julius Reed said, a bit puzzled by why she was asking so many questions today.
But the next moment, he suddenly realized something.
Perhaps because of the drastic changes in himself, Quella Radcliffe had some doubts.
“Rest assured! It’s as real as it gets!”
Julius Reed patted her head again, his eyes full of affection.
Despite nearly a hundred years of awakened memory, what he cherished the most was the wife he had taken during the three years he had lost his memory.
“Sir, you can’t go!”
“What do you mean I can’t go! Let me tell you, don’t meddle in things that aren’t your business! Otherwise, be ready to lose your job!”
“This is our policy; what if the car owner comes out? How will we explain?”
“You’re like a dog chasing mice, always meddling in others’ affairs! Be careful, or I’ll file a complaint against you!”
“Knox Ridge, let it go, it really was my mistake…”
“What do you mean, let it go! Drive, let’s go!”
As they approached the entrance of Azure Wind Restaurant, they saw Knox Ridge in a dispute with several security guards.
Burl Radcliffe, as usual, stood there silent.
When a woman is too domineering, a man often appears very weak.
In the Radcliffe family, Knox Ridge held all the power, and no one dared to defy this woman’s will.
“Dad, Mom, what happened?”
Seeing the red-faced contention, Quella Radcliffe was somewhat concerned; her own mother never gave her peace of mind.
“What exactly is the matter?”
Quella Radcliffe approached the group, furrowing her brow.
“Miss, this gentleman reversed into a Rolls-Royce parked nearby. The owner of the Rolls-Royce hasn’t appeared yet, so we can’t let them leave,” the security guard explained patiently.
“It’s not your car that got scratched! You sure like to poke your nose into wide matters! Just let us through, we’re in a hurry!” Knox Ridge always resorted to making a scene when faced with issues; her shrewish spirit was something most people couldn’t withstand.
“Lady, if we let you go, we’ll have to bear the cost of the car owner’s damage! As you know, just this small patch of paint on a Rolls-Royce could cost tens of thousands,” the security guard patiently explained, maintaining politeness as required for guards of a high-end restaurant.
Even when dealing with such a shrew.
Following the direction of the security guard’s gaze, Quella Radcliffe was surprised to find that the Rolls-Royce was the same car Julius Reed had borrowed.
When they arrived, they had parked it next to Burl Radcliffe’s Passat.
It must have been Burl Radcliffe who was so terrified in the restaurant that he
panicked while driving and accidentally crashed the Rolls-Royce.
She naturally knew the price of a Rolls-Royce, and such a big scrape would cost at least tens of thousands, possibly up to hundreds of thousands if it was serious.
The car was borrowed by Julius Reed, and he would definitely have to bear the cost of the repairs.
Thinking of this, Quella Radcliffe felt a wave of bitterness in her heart.
“I’ll give you money! Once the car owner comes out, just say it was from me! Security brother, I’m in a hurry right now, do you get it? If you delay our business, you can’t afford it!”
Knox Ridge took out ten thousand yuan from her bag, handing it over to the security guard with evident pain.
Although they were also part of the Radcliffe Clan, the two of them combined didn’t earn as much as Quella Radcliffe alone.
This ten thousand yuan was also not a small sum, and Knox Ridge’s heart was practically bleeding when she took it out.
“Madam, your ten thousand is not enough! We understand luxury cars too, it will cost at least tens of thousands! The car owner didn’t leave a number, and we can’t contact them. How about this, I’ll go find the manager to look for the car owner. Then you can settle it between yourselves.”
The security guard took the walkie-talkie from his waist, ready to talk with the lobby.
“Hey! Why are you like this!”
Knox Ridge certainly knew repairing the car would cost a lot of money, which is why she was willing to take out ten thousand. “Let them go, I’ll stay!”
Julius Reed slowly walked down the steps.
“Right! This is my son-in-law, let him stay here! Mr. Radcliffe, let’s quickly leave!”
Seeing Julius Reed coming out of the restaurant, Knox Ridge quickly got into the passenger seat and buckled up her seatbelt.
“Quella, hurry up and get in the car!”
She gestured to her daughter. Now that Julius Reed had volunteered to take the fall, they might as well let this loser stay behind.
“I’m not going!”
Quella Radcliffe was extremely angry; Julius Reed had offered to stay, and her mother hadn’t even said a word of thanks.
Not only that, but Knox Ridge even wanted Julius Reed to stay behind alone. That was too much!
“I’m asking you one last time! Think it over carefully!”
Knox Ridge rolled down the window, looking at Quella Radcliffe angrily.
Her daughter was actually siding with Julius Reed; she had thought Quella had come to her senses back at the restaurant.
With a roar, Burl Radcliffe drove the Passat out of the Azure Wind Restaurant parking lot.
Because he was going too fast, he completely smashed the hotel’s railing upon exiting.
“How could they do this! ”
Quella Radcliffe stomped her foot in frustration as she watched the Passat disappear in an instant, and tears began to fall.
“It’s okay!”
Julius Reed walked over to her, gently bringing her into his embrace.
“Julius, I’m sorry!”
Quella Radcliffe’s nose tingled, and she could no longer control her collapsing emotions.
She Imew her husband had suffered a lot over the past three years.
Even now, being able to make Jaxen Brandon bow, Julius Reed still continued to accommodate her parents, all for the sake of keeping her face.
“Sir, you see…”
The security guard approached Julius Reed somewhat helplessly, feeling sympathetic for him having such a mother-in-law.
“Beep!”
Julius Reed took out his car keys from his pocket and unlocked the car doors instantly.
“Do you have any cash on you?”
He looked at Quella Radcliffe.
Although he was very rich, all his money was on a black card, and he didn’t have a cent in cash.
“I do!”
Quella Radcliffe rummaged frantically, pulling out two thousand in cash from her bag.
“This money is for fixing the railing, and you can use the rest to go have a drink! ”
Julius Reed handed the two thousand to the security guard, patting his shoulder. “Thanks for your hard work so late at night!”
“This… thank you!”
The security guard accepted the money, feeling a warm surge in his heart.
He had not expected that the young man before him was actually the owner of the Rolls-Royce and that he would treat them so kindly.
A few hundred would fix the railing, and the rest of the money was a welcome surprise for them.
“Take care, sir!”
The security guards all saluted in unison..
