I had it appraised, it’s worth at least a hundred million.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked to the desk, next to the Jade Buddha, and gently reached out to touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve helped me before, now I’m giving it to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed suddenly shouted, startling Itai Huntington into standing still, afraid to move an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong…” she asked motionlessly, “Is there a bomb?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subconsciously, she thought she might have stepped on a bomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s how TV dramas always portray it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed approached the Jade Buddha and gently sniffed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Jade Buddha, it was sent by your enemy, wasn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You scared me to death!” Itai Huntington, reassured that there was no danger, patted her chest and said, “I have a weak heart, if something happens, it’s on you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she suddenly realized, “How did you know that this Jade Buddha was sent by an enemy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You only need to say yes, or no.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed stood with his hands clasped behind him, gently caressing the surface of the Jade Buddha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden chill passed through clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fabian Percival sent someone with it this morning, I had it authenticated, it’s genuine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington was very curious, could he identify its provenance just by looking at it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who has touched it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed’s hand kept gliding over the Jade Buddha as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The appraiser and my office secretary. I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You haven’t touched it,” Julius Reed interrupted Itai Huntington, “I know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you know!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington felt a bit surprised. Could it be that this freak had installed cameras in her office?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly looked around but found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was very clean, or rather, the cameras were well hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t think too much, I’m not interested in you. I concluded you hadn’t touched it because you’re still alive.” After saying this, Julius Reed grabbed the Jade Buddha with one hand and threw it out of the window!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sound of shattering came, the Jade Buddha smashed the glass and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you crazy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington said somewhat angrily, “If you didn’t want it, that’s fine, but why throw it away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, she sensed something was amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed’s words just now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the director of her HR department ran over in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nico, you came at the right time. Where is Galileo Leopold? Get him to come here,” Itai Huntington ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galileo Leopold was her office secretary, responsible for delivering documents and cleaning the entire office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the trash bin under the desk hadn’t been emptied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a basic mistake, Galileo Leopold couldn’t possibly make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, I came to tell you about this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nico Weatherby said breathlessly, “Galileo Leopold is dead, bleeding from all orifices in the bathroom, you… you should go see…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was pale, her hand continually on the door, clearly in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington felt her head buzzing, nearly collapsing to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Galileo Leopold was always at the company, how could he suddenly die! He was fine this morning, have you figured out the cause?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt everything was too unreal, but then she suddenly remembered what Julius Reed had said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington took out her phone and called the expert who had appraised the Jade Buddha that morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you looking for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man’s voice came from the phone, but it wasn’t the person she was looking for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m looking for Darius Clark, Professor Clark!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington suddenly had a bad premonition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m a colleague of old Clark, he passed away half an hour ago. Everyone is dealing with the aftermath right now, you should contact his family in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, the call was hastily ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington felt as if she had been struck by lightning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind was empty, save for the words Julius Reed had just spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clatter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even her cellphone fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smashing to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nico Weatherby’s eyes widened as she hurriedly supported Itai Huntington, “Quick! The boss has fainted! Call for help!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her shout immediately brought a flood of people into the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to panic, she’s just scared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed extended a hand, halting the flurry of confused actions of those around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is our boss’s friend. Since he said it’s nothing serious, let’s just watch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone at Five-state International, especially the security guards, recognized Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word outside was that he was their boss’s lover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to be careful not to offend him unintentionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or they might lose their jobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Professor Clark… Professor Clark is dead…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About three minutes later, Itai Huntington opened her eyes, looking at Julius Reed with some fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you feel dizzy and weak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed looked at her, asking indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington nodded, feeling all her strength drain away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is your mouth dry and your tongue parched, and is your heartbeat speeding up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington continued to nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart was beating faster and faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you feeling hot all over and starting to break out in a cold sweat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do your hands and feet feel cold, and are you feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed questioned in succession, and Itai Huntington followed with nods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, she cried out with a ‘wah’ sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Julius Reed, am I going to die… But I still have so many things undone, I’ve never been with a man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All of you, leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, Julius Reed sent the security guards and the secretary away, knowing what to do; they left and closed the door behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Until my death, I remain untouched. Yet I bear so much infamy, Gonzalez City claims I’m loose, on what grounds?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was driven out of my family, my mother’s corpse is still cold, just as things seemed to be turning around, and now I might die too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Julius Reed, you bastard! Did you know? You were the first man I truly liked. Ever since you appeared, I’ve had feelings for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re just a live-in son-in-law, so what are you so proud of? How am I not good enough for you? Countless men desire me, yet you reject me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn men! I’ve been annoyed with you for so long, always strutting around; what are you so proud of? Don’t you think I have a temper!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington lay on the couch in the office, her makeup smeared from crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why, why is fate so unfair to me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she cried, the more scared she became, and the more distress she felt inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Done yelling?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed asked, his tone indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, you son of a bitch! Even as a ghost, I will not let you go, remember that. Whenever you sleep with another woman, my ghost will be watching.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington’s crying grew fiercer as she cursed through her sobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m dying, can’t you let me have this final rant?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt so wronged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why would you die?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed asked, raising an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haven’t I been poisoned?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington sobbed even harder, “Galileo Leopold is dead, Darius Clark is dead, the jade Buddha has always been in my office, I must have been poisoned…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she said this, she suddenly froze, then her eyes widened as she looked at Julius Reed and burst out laughing, “Heavenly Dao circles back; not even the heavens spare anyone. You touched it just now too; if I’m to die, we’ll die together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So ridiculous!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed frowned, “You’re not poisoned, you got scared!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1299,"2026-06-06T17:05:03.758Z",1,"novelbin.me","d4126d4237c67aa41f6a9a16c79c11f4146b9e72b5fbbd1c5cfdeb5c3e82bc64","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-610","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-608",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
