Power “Sheriff, could there be some misunderstanding?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miguel Abbott hurried over, stood in front of Quella Radcliffe, and began to explain, “If she’s alive, show her to me; if she’s dead, show me the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We must have evidence in handling matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Quella Radcliffe were taken away, how could he face Julius Reed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the body of the man from earlier had already been taken away, claiming there was no proof of his death wasn’t too much to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Evidence?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheriff took out his phone, showed a photo and a video, and said coldly, “Here is the evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, go get all the surveillance footage and bring it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that murder weapon, test it for fingerprints.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he finished, the officer behind him began escorting Quella Radcliffe toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terry Moore saw the trouble brewing and immediately stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was prepared to risk everything to rescue Quella Radcliffe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This incident today was clearly a conspiracy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone was out to frame Quella Radcliffe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were taken away, it would be very hard for her to get out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere was oppressively tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat beads formed on Terry Moore’s forehead, but his fists were clenched tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes, filled with anger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen’s right hand slowly crushed a white solid, prepared for the worst case scenario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside Quella Radcliffe, Miguel Abbott and Stanislaus Potter were also taking deep breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can I have a few words with her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Julius Reed walked in from the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the officer and the police car at the door, he knew things were bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he entered, he saw Quella Radcliffe in handcuffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Julius…I didn’t kill anyone…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Julius Reed, Quella Radcliffe burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never imagined such an absurd thing could happen to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the most serious of charges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would certainly face a life behind bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she truly hadn’t killed anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed walked over, took her into his arms, “Wait for me, I will get you out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think of it as experiencing life; it’s quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, how many people get a chance to experience that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People there even talk nicely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was smiling while he spoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his eyes were cold as ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s disperse, everyone go about their business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I believe, the innocent will not be wronged.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed kissed Quella Radcliffe on the forehead, then let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take her away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheriff gestured, and the officer immediately escorted Quella Radcliffe to the police car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Julius Reed watched her look back in despair, his heart ached like it was being torn apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this world, has its own rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe had to live here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she was forcefully taken away, she would only lead a life on the run every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mad Dragon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa Pine was about to act but was stopped by Julius Reed, “Leave it to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ɲονǥ0.сο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where’s Jensen Cook?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The bald guy ran away…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa Pine lowered his head, somewhat hating his own incompetence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t protected the lady nor caught Jensen Cook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been entrusted with such a significant responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don’t have to feel guilty or blame yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could have predicted things would turn out this way,” Julius Reed reassured her as he watched the police car drive away and took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jensen Cook won’t get far, catch him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa Pine narrowed his eyes, his body full of murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go with you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Templeton Lena looked at Julius Reed, and after getting permission, quickly left with Vanessa Pine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall became quiet once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one expected that in just a few minutes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe would transform from the wife of the Chairman of the Willson Group into a murder suspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From heaven to hell, she hadn’t even had time to enjoy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer had already taken away the surveillance footage from Five-state International.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed irreversible now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Davenport, I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miguel Abbott and others gathered around, faces full of self-reproach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed raised his hand, stopping their conversation, “This has been premeditated, it’s not your fault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who was the person who just died?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around and looked at the group of businessmen behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Third Brother of Leopold Family, a local entrepreneur,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>someone said in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Julius Reed remained the chairman of Willson Group, they had to curry favor with him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>especially when he asked questions in such a heated moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who has he been closely associated with recently?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed stared at the businessman who spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intense gaze frightened the businessman, making him tremble as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chill went straight to his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he hurriedly spoke, “Last night, Otis Radcliffe had dinner with us and kept Third Brother and Thomas Pendleton behind…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed nodded calmly, his face untroubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone can go back now, there’s nothing to worry about.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he took Itai Huntington by the hand and walked toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone including Itai Huntington was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife was just arrested for murder, and now he’s blatantly hooking up with his mistress?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington frowned trying to break free, but she was no match for Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quella was just arrested, and you’re messing around!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said angrily, blushing, “You’re her husband, think of a way to save her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be quiet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed spoke softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, Itai Huntington suddenly stopped struggling very obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a crowd outside watching the spectacle, it’s just for show.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed held Itai Huntington’s hand, indifferent to the gossip and rumors of everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has always acted as he pleased, never swayed by any comments or thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how tiring that would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Getting promoted, making a fortune, losing one’s wife, the three greatest joys in life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone commented behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, one can only say that Quella was unlucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the mistress rises to the occasion and reaps the benefits!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder this widow got together with Julius Reed, she knew in advance he’s the chairman of Willson Group!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mistress’s rise is truly by the book!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People’s words can be daunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Julius Reed didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked out the door, a black sedan slowly lowered its window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother-in-law.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe poked his head out, smiling in greeting, “I heard my sister got taken away for murder?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes closely watched Julius Reed’s face, hoping to see some sign of distress or anger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he was disappointed once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was not a trace of sorrow on Julius Reed’s face,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even a bit of smugness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, I’m not your brother-in-law anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed walked up to Otis Radcliffe, lifting the hand he held with Itai Huntington, “This is my new girlfriend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe’s expression twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was his love for his sister all a lie?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter who my sister is, you’ll always be my brother-in-law.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rolled up the car window, his face incredibly grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why wasn’t Julius Reed angry that Quella was arrested!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t make sense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the car window shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Otis Radcliffe even had a chance to recover, he felt a large hand grasp his neck and violently yank him out of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today at the board meeting, you humiliated my new girlfriend, so I’ve decided to spend the evening with you,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed pinned Otis Radcliffe on the car with a playful look, “Let’s see if I have a thousand ways to make you disappear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he took Itai Huntington’s hand and stepped into a sports car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ssss…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the sports car zoom away, Otis Radcliffe touched his throat, shuddering with dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just you wait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out his phone and dialed the Young Master’s number.\u003C\u002Fp>",1336,"2026-06-06T17:05:15.459Z",1,"novelbin.me","2c6e3f53f6099765b84b28b86c541077575f8eddb32470a0e087dd5bff14c7ca","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1020","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1018",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
