“What! Are you out of your mind?”
Upon hearing the news, Knox Ridge stood up from the sofa abruptly. “From a junior executive to a project leader, and you just quit like that?”
She had been counting on Quella Radcliffe to use her position to make some money and buy them a new car.
After all, the model of Burl Radcliffe’s Passat was quite old, and it was often laughed at when driven.
Such a lucrative position as project leader could easily rake in millions, so one could imagine how the old couple felt now that Quella Radcliffe had resigned.
It was like falling from heaven to hell.
“I told her to resign, and unless grandfather personally asks her to return,
Quella Radcliffe won’t go back to the Radcliffe Group.”
Julius Reed leaned against the door, slowly speaking up.
“Julius Reed, have you lost your mind? I see it now, you’re intentionally taking revenge on our family!”
Knox Ridge gritted her teeth and said, “Are you happy to see us live miserably?”
For years, Quella Radcliffe had been suppressed within the Radcliffe Group, and now that she finally had a chance to soar, she resigned? One could imagine how angry Knox Ridge was.
“I’m not as petty as you, and there’s a reason for everything I do.”
Julius Reed did not argue with his mother-in-law, after all, she was Quella Radcliffe’s mother.
“If I didn’t do this, there would be a lot of people in the group who wouldn’t accept Quella, and her work would be fraught with difficulties. ”
With Titan Group applying pressure, he didn’t believe the Radcliffe Clan would dare to seek their own destruction.
Facing the colossal entity controlled by Ovidiu Cook, the Radcliffe Family was extremely wary.
“Who do you think you are? You own Titan Group? Is Ovidiu Cook working under you?”
Knox Ridge scoffed, “You’re nothing but trash, a completely useless piece of trash! My daughter’s really hit rock bottom marrying you!”
“You’d better watch your words!”
The sudden chill on Julius Reed’s face made Knox Ridge shiver with fear.
In fact, she was right – Ovidiu Cook did work for Julius Reed, and Titan Group was indeed owned by him.
But very few people knew this.
“Mom! Respect Julius, I have never regretted marrying him!”
With her lips tightly pressed together, Quella Radcliffe’s expression was complex as she faced her domineering mother.
Julius Reed, however, smiled slowly upon hearing that she had never regretted it.
“Shut your mouth! An incompetent fool tells you to resign, and you do? What’s in your head?”
Knox Ridge grew angrier the more she looked at her daughter, unable to understand what kind of spell Julius Reed had cast in these last two days, making Quella Radcliffe start to protect him.
“I’ve said it before, unless grandfather comes with all the staff to ask her back, Quella Radcliffe is not returning.”
Julius Reed said coldly.
“Julius Reed! Get out! You even dare to ask the chairman to come personally to our house! You’ve ruined us!”
After hearing what her son-in-law had said, Knox Ridge was so furious she felt like her lungs were going to explode.
Because Quella Radcliffe married Julius Reed, Zade Radcliffe had never looked favorably upon Burl Radcliffe’s family.
Even though he was the one who had decided on the marriage in the beginning, whether he was accused of being ungrateful or of kicking away the ladder after he climbed up, as soon as he realized Julius Reed was of no useful value, Zade Radcliffe couldn’t wait to kick him out of the Radcliffe Family.
But, due to the talk of the townspeople of Gonzalez City, he had to hold back.
And like a thorn in his side, Zade Radcliffe would inevitably feel uncomfortable whenever he saw Julius Reed.
That was also why Burl Radcliffe’s family earned the least and held the lowest positions within the Radcliffe Group.
Now, Julius Reed even dared to declare that Zade Radcliffe would bring the entire Radcliffe Group to ask Quella Radcliffe back; one could imagine the fury in Knox Ridge’s heart!
It was as if they were being pushed into a pit of fire!
“No, I have to call dad and explain things so we don’t ruin the great future ahead for our Quella!”
Knox Ridge picked up her phone and viciously told Julius Reed, “I won’t let you off!”
Her daughter was clearly a smart person; how could she listen to Julius Reed and resign?
There had to be a catch!
“Calling now will only bring you a torrent of scoffing and ridicule,” Julius Reed leaned against the door, saying so casually.
With today’s drama well known to all, both the Radcliffe Clan and the employees of the Group were waiting to see Quella Radcliffe made a laughingstock. At such a time, wouldn’t calling just be asking for humiliation?
Knox Ridge took a deep breath, realizing that Julius Reed made a lot of sense.
“If Quella Radcliffe can’t go back, I want you out of here immediately!”
She clenched her teeth, hating this son-in-law to the bone. She seemed to have forgotten that she had just lost a necklace worth tens of millions to him.
Meanwhile, at Titan Group.
The door to Chairman Ovidiu Cook’s office was knocked open.
Leonardo Leopold, with the materials prepared, entered as he pushed the door.
But unexpectedly, Sky Reed was also there.
“Manager Leonardo, what brings you here?”
Ovidiu Cook sat in his chair, asking with seeming nonchalance.
He had just received a notice from Julius Reed that morning and was discussing with Sky Reed how to put pressure on Radcliffe Group.
“Manager Reed, could you step out for a moment?”
Leonardo Leopold asked softly. In his hands, he held materials for the impeachment of Sky Reed for using public resources for private gain.
With the man himself present, Leonardo felt somewhat restrained. Although the two had their struggles behind the scenes, they still maintained face in public.
“It’s fine, we’re all brothers who work together. Speak freely,” Ovidiu Cook tapped the desk, gesturing for him to sit down.
“Chairman, I have some materials for you to see,”
Leonardo Leopold sat across from Ovidiu Cook and, mustering his courage, passed the materials over.
After receiving the call from Zade Radcliffe, he immediately began investigating the matter.
What he didn’t expect was to uncover something that excited him greatly!
The company’s Rolls-Royce had been lent to a female employee of Radcliffe Group under Sky Reed’s personal name. Moreover, at Radcliffe Group’s board meeting, he strongly pushed for this female employee to be appointed as project manager.
Such a big project could easily yield profits of tens of millions once someone became the project manager.
Now, Leonardo Leopold was confident he could topple Sky Reed and take his place!
As Ovidiu Cook read the materials, his expression grew grimmer by the second.
By the time he reached the last page, his face was ashen. Leonardo watched all this, barely concealing his glee.
“Take a look!”
Ovidiu Cook tossed the materials in front of Sky Reed, his tone cold.
“You’re investigating me?”
After flipping through a few pages, Sky Reed looked up at Leonardo.
The details written up were meticulous, including even the exact words he had said.
“Ha, Manager Reed taking advantage of his position for personal gain, harming the Group’s interests—I will never overlook that!”
Leonardo showed no fear, looking righteously at Sky Reed. “Chairman, such a person cannot remain in the company!”
“You’re fired,” declared Ovidiu Cook in a stern voice.
“The chairman is wise. Someone like Sky Reed is absolutely a scourge!”
Leonardo Leopold was overjoyed, having thought that Sky Reed would just be punished, but instead he was outright fired.
“I’m talking about you! Leonardo Leopold!”
Before he could finish feeling pleased, Ovidiu Cook slammed the desk, stood up, and shouted, “Thinking about how to sabotage colleagues all day instead of focusing on expanding the business, my Titan Group’s temple is too small for a big Buddha like you! And across the entire Gonzalez City, no company will want you!”
