Just order her favorites!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Ridge winked, signaling to Radley Ridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! You two grew up together, do you even need to ask?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knox Ridge chimed in from the side. If it weren’t for Julius Reed out of nowhere, they would have become relatives with the Ridge family long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the more she looked at Radley Ridge, the more agreeable she found him. When she turned her attention to Julius Reed, her irritation only grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a fool would understand what this dinner signified, it was almost like a trap for Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe quietly took his hand but noticed that Julius Reed showed no signs of anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be he doesn’t care about me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe quickly dismissed the thought, still moved by Julius Reed’s declaration at Azure Percival, “my woman.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now her husband was all smiles, which didn’t seem like his style at all. “Radley, now that you’re back in the country, what are your plans?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knox Ridge looked at Radley Ridge with affection, as a mother-in-law would look at her son-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aunty, many foreign companies have called me, hoping that I could join them as an executive. But I’d prefer to stay in Gonzalez City. A few million US dollars in annual salary doesn’t mean much; it’s most important to be in the same city as Quella.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Radley Ridge raised his red wine glass towards Quella Radcliffe and said, “To celebrate our long-awaited reunion, cheers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cheers! ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone raised their glasses and drank up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed was also all smiles, eating and drinking heartily at the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just a born loser! Naturally a cuck!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Julius Reed’s behavior, Radley Ridge’s lips curled into a cold sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been slightly apprehensive at first, but now, he was utterly brazen. “Brother Reed, this wine isn’t very good, did you think Quella wouldn’t notice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed swirled his wine glass, casually saying, “A bottle like this doesn’t cost more than a few thousand yuan outside. Brother Reed, you’re making a million a year, and this is the wine you celebrate with?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Julius Reed finished his sentence, Radley Ridge’s complexion changed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wine indeed wasn’t anything special, but it wasn’t cheap either, costing five thousand yuan a bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary people, this was already considered very expensive. But having just mentioned his million-dollar salary, drinking this wine truly seemed inappropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially being called out in front of Quella Radcliffe, it was a blow to his image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry! That was careless of me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radley Ridge quickly regained his smile and, with a snap of his fingers, said to the waiter, “Bring me two bottles of Pétrus, the expensive ones!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, eighty thousand a bottle, are you sure?” The waiter confirmed with the menu in hand. “Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radley Ridge nodded, a confident smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But inside, he was already bleeding money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixteen hundred thousand, even for him, was not a trivial amount, especially for just two bottles of wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Quella, it was all worth it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Julius Reed, you come here to freeload and still have the nerve to criticize! Get out! Leave now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knox Ridge’s face was particularly unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since she heard about Radley Ridge’s million-dollar salary, she had come to despise her worthless son-in-law to the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ridge family spends sixteen hundred thousand on wine, while Julius Reed can’t even earn sixteen dollars!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Quella Radcliffe had married Radley Ridge, right now they could be living the high life, boasting about it no matter where they went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why be like now, when everyone gossips behind their backs as soon as their son-in-law is mentioned?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aunt! Brother Reed is right, $160,000 is nothing to me. After all, compared to Quella, money is just a worldly possession.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, Radley Ridge appeared to be giving Julius Reed a way out, but in reality, he was showing off his own excellence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, two bottles of red wine were brought to the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before anyone else could make a move, Julius Reed directly picked up a bottle and started chugging it like water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The server next to him was dumbfounded, staring at him as if he were a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that this wine had a strong aftereffect, but who drinks red wine like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, I grew up in a village as a kid, not much sophistication.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed placed the empty bottle on the table and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, the wine tasted just like water, it might be valuable in the eyes of others, but to Julius Reed, it was inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once upon a time, he drank a bottle of red wine on the Atlantic Ocean, even though it was from the 1850s, that bottle cost over a million US dollars at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, the price would be unimaginable. “How utterly disgraceful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knox Ridge was grinding her teeth in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Julius Reed, he came just to embarrass them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Father Ridge and Mother Ridge also looked at Julius Reed with disdain, thinking very little of this country bumpkin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No worries! I suppose Brother Reed hardly gets the chance to drink such wine, I won’t mind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sneer crept onto Radley Ridge’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more the other acted this way, the happier he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was a bit painful, it might make Quella realize how inept her husband was and how excellent he was in comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of no one paying attention, Julius Reed discreetly pinched Quella’s thigh and typed out two characters on his phone: ‘scold me’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella was taken aback at first, but she quickly understood that Julius Reed wanted her to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t you have a little dignity! How many times have I told you, have some restraint! Look at Radley Ridge, he’s so much better than you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella said with a very unfriendly tone, her face stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s alright! Brother Twelve is just inexperienced in the world, but he’s honest, and that’s a quality too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radley Ridge was inwardly overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Quella spoke like this, he felt he had a great chance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, Radley, have another drink with Quella!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knox Ridge, seeing Quella’s change of attitude, thought her daughter had come around and eagerly struck while the iron was hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before coming here, she had been worried that Quella was too stubborn and would miss out on an outstanding man like Radley Ridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed her worries were unfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Always scolding me! Keep it up, and I’ll divorce you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed grabbed the other bottle of red wine, lifted it, and downed it in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The server standing by was flabbergasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>$160,000, gone in two gulps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divorce then, divorce! You think I’m scared!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella slammed her hand on the table violently, startling even Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife was so convincing in her act!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided that he should let Quella pursue acting in the film industry; she’d definitely become a star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quella! Don’t say things in anger, Brother Reed still loves you!” Although Radley Ridge tried his best to hide it, he couldn’t help laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if heaven was helping him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Ridge, got any more wine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed leaned back in his chair, looking utterly defeated..\u003C\u002Fp>",1310,"2026-06-06T17:04:44.710Z",1,"novelbin.me","415cd083c16c00f64882ee0badf3a8091a439d64ca076595db92774bf0909362","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-29","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-27",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
