Translator: 549690339
Otis Radcliffe’s face immediately darkened.
He had orchestrated this situation precisely to make Julius Reed uncomfortable.
The meal at Azure Percival yesterday had led to Zade Radcliffe berating him harshly and docking half a year’s salary.
How could Otis Radcliffe feel at ease with this turn of events?
A cold glint flickered in Otis Radcliffe’s eyes, and his voice chilled as well.
“Every personnel decision in the company must have my signature of approval.
You say he’s your secretary, but did I approve it?”
Otis Radcliffe pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, a cold smile surfacing on his lips.
Even if Quella Radcliffe became the project manager, her position was still beneath his.
Zade Radcliffe had also promised him that, once the project cooperation was complete, Quella Radcliffe’s position would be immediately withdrawn.
So he was not intimidated and was, in fact, quite confident.
“Otis, what do you mean by this? Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for Julius and me?”
A chill flashed in Quella Radcliffe’s eyes.
From childhood, this younger brother had always been against her.
Especially since she had married Julius Reed, Otis Radcliffe had become even more aggressive.
“This isn’t about making things difficult for you!”
Otis Radcliffe spread his hands.
“This is company policy! Quella, you wouldn’t think that just because you’ve become the project manager, you can disregard company policy, do you?”
“Otis, don’t regret this.”
Julius Reed shook his head.
Such petty tricks were really pointless. “Oh! Son-in-law, are you threatening me?”
Otis Radcliffe scoffed at Julius Reed’s words.
A complete loser, thinking himself a phoenix just because he’s perched on a branch?
“Since that’s the case, I’ll leave it at this. Unless you and the chairman come begging to Quella with the entire company staff, we will never step into the company again!”
After speaking, Julius Reed took Quella Radcliffe’s hand and strode out of the Radcliffe Group!
“Ungrateful! Just with you? Don’t think just because Quella and Sky Reed slept together that you have nothing to worry about! Let me tell you, the Radcliffe Group spins the same with or without anyone!”
Watching the two leave, Otis Radcliffe cursed loudly.
“Exactly! Thinking himself something special? Isn’t he just climbing the ranks through his looks!”
“Gets a little success and becomes arrogant! In this company, apart from our General Manager Otis, it’s all the same if anyone leaves!”
“On his first day in office, he wants to monopolize power, who knows what inappropriate things he’ll do in the future! Good riddance, he’s the scum of the group!”
A bunch of Otis Radcliffe’s lackeys loudly discussed this, as if worried that Julius Reed and Quella Radcliffe wouldn’t hear them.
Suddenly, the noisy crowd fell silent.
Julius Reed suddenly turned around and came back.
“What’s wrong? Regret it? Kneel down and apologize to me, and perhaps I’ll let it slide!”
Otis Radcliffe folded his arms, a look of pride on his face.
Smack!
Julius Reed suddenly lifted his right hand and slapped without warning!
Because of the force, Otis Radcliffe was knocked to the ground!
“Watch your mouth. If it wasn’t for your sister’s face, you wouldn’t be living till today!”
After speaking, Julius Reed walked away under the dumbstruck gaze of the employees.
“You just wait!”
Otis Radcliffe gritted his teeth and shouted.
Being slapped in front of dozens of employees was a tremendous humiliation!
If he didn’t retaliate for this, he, Otis Radcliffe, swore he would not be a man!
“Are you really okay?”
In the Rolls-Royce, Quella Radcliffe was somewhat worried.
“Don’t worry, Sky Reed is my relative; a small matter like this is no problem.”
Julius Reed didn’t want to do this, but some people at the Radcliffe Group were too much! Without a lesson, Quella Radcliffe’s days within the group would probably become even tougher.
“But Otis’s words… could they implicate Sky?”
Having mixed in the business world for years, Quella naturally understood the reasoning behind this.
There were undoubtedly people within Titan Group who didn’t submit to Sky, and if this matter were to be exposed, Sky might get implicated.
But what she didn’t know was that the entire Titan Group was owned by Julius Reed, and she was the wife of the owner of Titan Group!
“Just wait, by this afternoon at the latest, grandpa will bring the company people to our house to apologize to you.”
Julius Reed gave a faint smile and drove out of the Radcliffe Group headquarters. “Go watch a movie?”
“Sure… sure!”
Quella Radcliffe’s cheeks reddened as if she had done something disgraceful.
“Grandpa! Look at this! Look at this!”
Inside the chairman’s office of the Radcliffe Group, Otis Radcliffe pointed at his bloodied face, furiously pounding on the desk!
“Who has ever hit me like this from childhood? Even you, grandpa, have never hit me like this!”
Although Quella was favored in her childhood, Otis was the most popular person in the Radcliffe Family.
In the end, a woman is to be married off!
The one to inherit the family business could only be him!
There had been rumors inside the group about Quella taking the position of general manager, but everything changed after she married Julius Reed.
“Absurd ! ”
Zade Radcliffe touched Otis’s face, full of fury: “Julius Reed, you’ve gone too far!”
Although he had criticized his grandson just yesterday, seeing Otis’s swollen face today filled him with nothing but anger!
“Grandpa, Julius Reed dared to do this entirely because of Quella! Now this wretched woman has hooked up with Sky and they bully us because they think we dare not touch her!”
Complained Otis.
“Humph! I thought if she behaved and worked quietly, I would not trouble her. But since she dares to be so arrogant, cannot blame us for being unkind! Sky, is it? I want to see if he can protect Quella!”
Saying this, Zade Radcliffe pulled out his phone and made a call.
“Brother Leopold, how have you been doing at Titan Group lately?”
The person on the other end, Leonardo Leopold, was a high-level executive at
Titan Group, with an annual salary of over five million and considerable power.
The most important point was that he was a sworn enemy of Sky and had many connections with Zade Radcliffe.
Zade Radcliffe hadn’t wanted to offend Sky, but now he had no choice but to act.
Heaven knows if he left Quella unchecked, she might turn the group upside down.
“Old Mr. Radcliffe, what brings you to call me today?”
A middle-aged man’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Here’s the thing, your group’s Sky has recently been negotiating a partnership with our company. But taking advantage of his great power, he insists on promoting a regular female employee, with whom he’s had relations, to project manager. As soon as we oppose, he threatens to terminate the partnership.”
For the sake of Otis, Zade Radcliffe did not hesitate to slander his own granddaughter.
“Such a thing? I was supposed to be your negotiation representative at first, but who knew this bastard Sky would snatch it away! Just wait, I’m going to see the chairman right now! If this is true, Titan Group will never tolerate such a disgrace staying in the company!”
Excited, Leonardo Leopold’s voice came through from the phone.
He had long disliked Sky but never had the chance to act on it.
“If all goes well, you’ll be the new project manager, remember to do well!” After hanging up the phone, Zade Radcliffe looked at his grandson contentedly.
“Please rest assured, grandpa!”
Otis felt a rush of secret satisfaction inside, and a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes!
Once he secured the project manager position, he would make sure Quella was expelled from the Radcliffe Family!
No…
Not just expelled from the Radcliffe Family! He would see to it that Quella and Julius Reed would neither live nor die as they wished!
