Otis, you really have outdone yourself! If I didn’t agree, did you want them to come audit us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had embezzled millions at the company, and an audit would surely land him in prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought you would stop at a little embezzlement, but no, you’re really greedy! Sitting in the general manager’s chair, do you plan to bleed the entire company dry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering Julius Reed’s words, Zade Radcliffe’s anger flared up once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In family businesses, a bit of embezzlement is quite normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Otis Radcliffe was insatiably greedy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough! Even if she becomes the project leader, you are still the Group’s general manager. Once the project is over, she’ll be worth nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Zade Radcliffe’s tone softened considerably for his favorite grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All right then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe sighed, his resentment toward Julius Reed deepening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a large project, if he could become the leader, embezzling nearly ten million would have been a piece of cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he could only watch helplessly as Quella Radcliffe took that spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cutting off someone’s wealth is like killing their parents!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Zade Radcliffe’s office, Otis Radcliffe pulled out his phone: “Hello, is that Bear? Take care of someone for me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While some rejoice, others mourn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after stepping out of the Radcliffe Group’s front door, Quella Radcliffe felt as if she were dreaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Julius, how did you do it? The one in charge of the company’s finances is Otis Radcliffe’s own sister, Niall Radcliffe; she would never give you the chance to audit the accounts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the meeting in the boardroom, when she saw Julius Reed recounting Otis Radcliffe’s embezzlement evidence, she was incredibly shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the timing of each incident was spot on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And by looking at Zade Radcliffe’s expression, it was clear that these were true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering Julius Reed never left his house, how could he be so clearly informed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I sold my looks and seduced Niall Radcliffe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed cracked a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He obviously couldn’t admit it was Ovidiu Cook who had arranged for the investigation, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wealthiest man in Gonzalez City certainly has that kind of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cut the crap! Give it to me straight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In three years of marriage, Julius Reed had always been honest and straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such outrageous conduct, Quella Radcliffe knew, was something he would never engage in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The truth is, Sky Reed is a distant relative of mine. Since someone had to do it, it might as well benefit me,” Julius Reed winked and whispered, “This way, I can openly be provided for. Working is so tiring!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it wasn’t the right time, then a lie would have to do for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe felt that Julius Reed had changed, his entire aura had shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the badge of dawn on her chest, she swallowed the question on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Julius Reed, you loser! I must have been cursed with bad luck to marry into this family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From afar, Knox Ridge saw Quella Radcliffe weighed down by worries and assumed her daughter had faced opposition at the board meeting again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So naturally, she vented her frustration on Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For three years, Julius Reed had always been the one to take the heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, enough! It’s always the same whenever there’s a meeting. I’m used to it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burl Radcliffe alighted from his car too, speaking with displeasure, “Hey Julius, from now on, don’t come to these kinds of events!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, Mom, what are you talking about? The representative today is a distant relative of Julius.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe hurried over and took the hands of her elders, “Thanks to Julius, I could become the project leader.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Project leader?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knox Ridge’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Am I hearing this right? My daughter, the project leader? My goodness!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t joke around!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burl Radcliffe found it hard to believe as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s true! Julius really helped out a lot, so be nicer to him from now on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What help could that loser possibly provide! It’s my daughter who excels! Let me tell you, find a time to get a divorce, don’t let him hold you back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knox Ridge snorted coldly, pointing at Julius Reed, “If you have any conscience left, don’t hold back our girl’s future!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burl Radcliffe nodded in agreement, “Julius, the two of you just aren’t suitable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe’s face turned ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn’t been for Julius Reed today, what relation would the project leader position have to her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, her parents were so materialistic, almost falling into the trap of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Titan Group is a major company, and it’s got money! Quella, after you become the project leader, you must grab a big handful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knox Ridge beamed, feeling incredibly proud inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, listen to your mom! Look at this Passat we have at home, see the state it’s in! This month, we’re getting a new car for the household!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Husband and wife were in sync, and Burl Radcliffe’s vanity started to inflate as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can you be like this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe frowned, “Even if I do become project leader, I won’t embezzle a single cent! Get that thought out of your heads!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed stood by without uttering a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go home!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knox Ridge was somewhat angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else was greedy for money, why put on an act of integrity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll take Quella to buy a used car, it’ll be more convenient for work in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed spoke up from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, let’s just go home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe thought that Julius Reed was just speaking casually and didn’t expect him to be serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go, it’s inconvenient to have just one car at home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You? What could you possibly afford? Just don’t buy a bicycle and shame the Radcliffe family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knox Ridge rolled her eyes at them, her chubby face contorting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we buy one, none of you get to ride it in the future!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe’s temper also flared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her feelings for Julius Reed had changed long ago, and now she couldn’t stand her husband being humiliated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The two of you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burl Radcliffe sneered, “If you really have the guts, then don’t ever set foot in my Passat in your life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, if I ride in your junk car, I’ll take your last name, Reed! Mr. Radcliffe, let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Knox Ridge finished speaking, the two hurried away in their Passat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Julius, that’s just the way my parents are, don’t take it to heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe stood there, head down, explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, she would never do this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps subconsciously, she had begun to accept her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been in your family for three years, don’t I understand them by now? They’re still your parents, I won’t mind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, Julius Reed took Quella Radcliffe’s hand and headed toward the opposite side of the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe felt a tremor in her heart but didn’t resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are we really buying a car?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at Julius Reed, “I still have some savings, let’s go buy one. Otherwise, you’ll definitely be ridiculed by my parents when we get back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No worries, I have the money to buy a used car.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed smiled faintly, took her hand, and crossed the street to the parking lot opposite the Radcliffe Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, isn’t that Representative Davenport’s car?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, there was a Rolls-Royce parked, the same one that Sky Reed had arrived in that morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait here a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed let go of her hand and quickly walked towards the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, someone came down from the Rolls-Royce, exchanged a few words with him, and then the person walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Quella Radcliffe watched in stunned silence, Julius Reed got into the driver’s seat and drove the car up to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get in, although it’s a second-hand one, it’s not bad!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the window, he saw that Quella Radcliffe’s gaze was stagnant, as if she had been stupefied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just a Rolls-Royce, what’s the big deal?\u003C\u002Fp>",1434,"2026-06-06T17:04:44.710Z",1,"novelbin.me","e19bc065b3ee8731131664664eb79960b3c29f38188f44f89fd620697b23a3ee","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-293","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-292",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
