She was itching to slap him across the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Am I wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed leaned over, plucked a cherry from the fruit plate, and gently tossed it into his mouth, “If you haven’t been to a clubhouse, how would you know what a gigolo looks like?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her face red, Damien Leopold was at a loss for words!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darnell Ridge was often profligate with drinking and merriment, hanging out with his buddies, and she was lonely night and day; naturally, she would seek entertainment in some places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Leopold Family was wealthy. When she got married, they gave the couple a big supermarket worth a million dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a daily basis, their income was close to a million just from sales in the store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most of the money was squandered by Darnell Ridge on fine dining and keeping mistresses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them were more like a couple in name only, mostly turning a blind eye to each other’s chaotic lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But outwardly, they still appeared to be a loving couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least in the eyes of everyone else, they seemed very affectionate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driven by embarrassment and anger, Damien Leopold grabbed a glass of water from the table and threw it at Julius Reed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed swiftly dodged to the side, and the steaming hot water, emitting vapor, splashed onto a flowerpot behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The originally vibrant leaves immediately began to wilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that had landed on one’s face, it would have caused burns, if not disfigurement at worst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a ruthless move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aunt, what are you doing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe rushed over and hugged Julius Reed, her eyes filled with concern, “Are you alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hot water was freshly boiled and extremely hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed shook his head, not saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his expression had turned ice-cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aunt, you owe Julius Reed an apology.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe turned back, glaring at Damien Leopold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Apologize to him? Does he deserve it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sneer, Damien Leopold’s eyes were full of disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her own status, the daughter of a merchant, the owner of a large supermarket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she was supposed to apologize to a kept man with a pretty face?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He is my husband, Aunt. Please show some respect. Moreover, this is my home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe was very angry, but given Damien Leopold was an elder, she had to suppress the rage in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your home?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien Leopold furrowed her brow slightly, then suddenly laughed, “What, feeling pity for your pretty boy? Worried about his face getting burnt? Since you don’t welcome us, Dominick, let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, she turned around to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A loser, what right do you have to be here? Next time I see you, I’ll definitely beat you up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cooper Ridge threatened with bared teeth, devoid of any respect in his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! Damien, why are you getting annoyed with a child!” Knox Ridge, hearing the quarrel, hurried out from the kitchen and grabbed Damien Leopold: “Come on, eat first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Knox Ridge, about today’s incident, I will tell Darnell exactly what happened when I get back,” said Damien Leopold coldly, pushing Knox Ridge’s hands off her, “You know the consequences.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quella! Come and apologize to your aunt right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Knox Ridge let Damien Leopold go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she wanted to return to the Ridge family, she had to first ingratiate herself with Damien Leopold, who held significant influence within the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, with Darnell Ridge’s agitating, it could be possible for the Ridge family to nod their heads and allow Knox Ridge to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, if she offended Darnell and his spouse, she could forget about ever returning to her parents’ home in this lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, Aunt first insulted with her words and then splashed Julius Reed with hot water. Why should I apologize? Even if it’s bullying, surely there’s no need to bully like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella shook with anger. Where in the world is there such bullying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right to one’s front door?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up! You brat, how can you talk to your Aunt like that? And Julius Reed, kneel down and apologize to your Aunt!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knox Ridge was completely enraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had taken so much effort to get Damien Leopold to come over to her home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Julius Reed, an incompetent and mischievous fellow, had managed to screw things up upon arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And that door, are you planning to wreck my home?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon saying this, Cooper Ridge suddenly remembered their agreement, so he held onto Damien Leopold: “Mom, it’s almost half an hour now; I’m still waiting for him to kneel and apologize to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humiliating Julius Reed also delighted Damien Leopold, so she huffed lightly and sat back down on the couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damien, don’t stoop to our Quella’s level; this child…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know, a poorly raised individual, no wonder he managed to bankrupt the company, truly a ‘talent,'” Damien Leopold interrupted Knox Ridge, looking at Quella with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bad news travels fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news of the Radcliffe Group facing bankruptcy and liquidation had quickly spread to Knox Ridge’s family home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those relatives whom Quella had pressed for debts all felt vindicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Damien Leopold was aware of this, but what she didn’t know was that the Radcliffe Group had already righted its course and was now profitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The one that seems to lack manners is you,” Julius Reed said, shaking his head at Damien Leopold. “Your poisonous tongue should be careful of retribution.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Retribution?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien Leopold looked at Julius Reed with a smile, “Retribution is just an excuse for the incompetent to comfort themselves because they’ve been bullied and can’t retaliate, only able to console themselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ever heard of instant karma?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Julius Reed immediately picked up the kettle of hot water from the table and poured it downwards on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien Leopold, previously sitting with her legs crossed and a smile on her face, was shocked like a startled rabbit the moment she got doused with hot water, instantly standing up from the couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quella had quietly dumped it out earlier, fearing you might splash me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed, watching her utterly embarrassed state, laughed loudly, “Sorry for startling you, Auntie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien Leopold seethed at Julius Reed, furious beyond measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she actually been played?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kettle was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed had simply used an empty kettle to humiliate her in public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just wanted to see if there was water in the kettle; if it was empty, I would have heated some more for Auntie. Don’t thank me; I’m very well-mannered,” Julius Reed finished, placing the kettle back on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You bastard! You dare make a fool of my mom?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Cooper Ridge, who had been standing, suddenly moved towards Julius Reed, swinging his fists to punch him, “Today, I’ll kill you!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1326,"2026-06-06T17:05:03.758Z",1,"novelbin.me","d681792e85fc02be66e2f3da263ab288cd6c022ec8efa36c0f636171ddbb9c35","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-615","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-613",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
