I understand.” Bran Cook sneered coldly, looking at Quella Radcliffe, “Miss Radcliffe, my affection for you is sincere. You don’t have to choose such a scumbag as a shield just because you rejected me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He subconsciously believed that it was his own words and actions that had provoked Quella Radcliffe, and that she had chosen to be with Amos Davenport out of spite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, he could find no other reason to explain why the normally rational Quella Radcliffe would accept this scumbag in public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he thought it through, Bran Cook wasn’t so surprised any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was within the bounds of reason, yet beyond his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To cut off his own thoughts, she would actually be with a scumbag?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was just a shield, for Bran Cook, who prided himself on his mental purity, it was still unacceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t tolerate Quella Radcliffe being with another man, not even in name!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe looked at Bran Cook with a polite smile, “I am aware of Young Master Cook’s intentions, and now I will clearly tell you, the man I like is right here before me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze was firm, and if not for Bran Cook guessing the reason, he almost believed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, President Radcliffe, are you really willing to debase yourself and ruin your reputation for this? Today, in front of everyone here, I will ask you one more time.” Bran Cook’s face lost its previous smile and he spoke seriously, “As long as you’re willing to be my woman, I guarantee that no one present will bother the Radcliffe Group again. Moreover, within a month, I will revive the Radcliffe Group from death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are so many people here, all listening clearly, I just want one promise from you—to be my woman!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bran Cook said, in a very masculine manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His declaration made Itai Huntington, who had been silent, feel somewhat impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was about time to be forthright, and avoid the sneaky tricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think you’re mistaken.” Facing such a forceful confession, Quella Radcliffe shook her head and said, “I will do my best to save the Radcliffe Group, and if it truly goes bankrupt in the end, then I will have done my best. I am willing to accept the consequences.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Julius Reed, “I agreed to be with him, just as I said before. He is an open and upright man, a gentleman of integrity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Radcliffe, you don’t have to…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Bran Cook sneered, Quella Radcliffe suddenly embraced Julius Reed and gently kissed him on the lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bran Cook swallowed back the words he was halfway through saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood frozen in place, feeling as if the world was spinning around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington, who was closest to the pair, was equally shocked when she saw Quella Radcliffe passionately kissing Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Known as the deadly widow, she had weathered countless storms, even frequent brushes with death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she found the situation utterly unbelievable for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely and utterly unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe really kissed Julius Reed—it wasn’t fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t get any realer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rich heirs at the party stood with their mouths agape, holding their breath while holding their wine glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, they couldn’t believe that the always cold Quella Radcliffe would take the initiative to kiss a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And such a total scumbag at that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their hearts were nearly shattered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why? Why could such a scumbag win a beauty’s favor, while they couldn’t even get a glance from Quella Radcliffe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bran Cook felt a spasmodic pain in his chest; he stepped back and leaned against the wall, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in many years, he experienced a sense of defeat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indifference!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And hatred!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was prepared by him, even the flowers in Quella Radcliffe’s hand were intended as a tool for his confession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it all tuned out to be making wedding dresses for others!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was left with nothing, all his efforts wasted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found himself ridiculous, still thinking that Quella Radcliffe wanted a shield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to everyone’s understanding of President Radcliffe, a shield doesn’t deserve that kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning, everything was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the greatest surprise, was the person involved, Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three years, almost four now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closest they got was holding hands!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, Quella Radcliffe’s first kiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed felt a rush of hormones, which was not embarrassing for a freak who had lived for ten thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to respond, and Quella Radcliffe immediately moved away from his lips, her complexion flushed, her eyes carrying a hint of resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll talk when we get back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe’s voice was barely audible, combined with her blushing cheeks, it told everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was serious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You lost, Bran Cook.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington clapped her hands, smiling at Julius Reed: “Sister underestimates you. But be careful with Miss Radcliffe, I suddenly realize I’ve started to like a jerk too. Maybe one day you’re working overtime, and I’ll sneak into your house and have a taste of this jerk!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips curled into a flirtatious smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re welcome to try, but I’m confident she won’t be into you. Who would trade delicacies for street food?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe retorted without any politeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone feared Itai Huntington, not her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed was her husband, and if any woman dared to seduce him, she, the rightful owner, would certainly not be courteous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, we’ll see about that!” Itai Huntington raised an eyebrow, suddenly getting competitive with Quella Radcliffe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This exchange was a clash of titans, as Quella Radcliffe directly likened Itai Huntington to street food, which was an insult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unabashed insult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of so many people, no less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Itai Huntington’s challenge was a direct declaration of war against Quella Radcliffe—a war waged by women’s methods!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anytime!” Quella Radcliffe was not intimidated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone held their breath, not daring to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gathering had too many big events for one night!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since… since Miss Radcliffe now has a boyfriend, I don’t need to think too much anymore.” Bran Cook, ever the standout among men, adjusted his emotions in just a few minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have decided to acquire Radcliffe Group, and the brothers here will also support me! Since President Radcliffe is here, you’d better be prepared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Quella Radcliffe, the ambiguity in his eyes replaced with a killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Within a week, I’ll render Radcliffe Group bankrupt, and if I can’t do it in seven days, I’ll kneel and offer you a toast right here in this club!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he said this, there was no turning back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Bran Cook’s strength and connections at present, accomplishing this was as easy as turning his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest who were still hesitant could now join in without worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I look forward to it!” Quella Radcliffe faced Bran Cook’s stare with fearlessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, you’ve got spirit!” Bran Cook nodded in approval: “Then, we’ll see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great! I’ll take my leave!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe took Julius Reed by the hand, heading towards the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on, I’ve invited a key guest today. Would Miss Radcliffe mind to hear how I plan to take over your company?” Bran Cook said coldly from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>",1259,"2026-06-06T17:04:44.711Z",1,"novelbin.me","9cba3990fac862eb8b9f0ab46b3c4badf3a55303d27f6060a63b3884e7c1d366","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-382","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-380",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
