Quamaine Potter’s interference had completely killed their mood.

What was supposed to be a nice date ended up like this. Julius Reed simply drove Quella Radcliffe back home, waiting for Zade Radcliffe and the others to come and apologize.

At Titan Group, he had already instructed Ovidiu Cook to put immense pressure on the Radcliffe Group, or else the Radcliffe Family would certainly not compromise easily.

Since these people were intent on causing discomfort, he would take this opportunity to establish Quella’s authority, to ensure no one would cross her in the future.

Soon the car arrived downstairs, and after parking the Rolls-Royce, they walked upstairs shoulder to shoulder.

Even though they hadn’t watched the movie today, they both felt that they had grown closer to each other.

After entering the apartment, surprisingly, Burl Radcliffe and his wife hadn’t gone to work and were sitting on the sofa with worried expressions, which startled Julius Reed and Quella Radcliffe.

Knox Ridge and Burl Radcliffe, despite their not-so-high positions, were quite punctual with their work hours. Both staying at home like this was a first.

“Mom, are you sick?”

Seeing the unusually poor complexion on Knox Ridge, Quella instinctively thought she was ill, and that was why the old couple hadn’t gone to work, immediately growing anxious.

But Knox Ridge still sat on the sofa with a troubled look, not saying a word.

“Dad, what’s wrong with Mom?”

Seeing her own mother not speaking, Quella became even more worried and leaned in close to Burl Radcliffe, urgently asking, “Speak up!”

Yet, as if the old couple had agreed beforehand, they kept a mutually understood silence.

“What’s wrong with you two! Don’t scare me!”

Quella immediately panicked, clueless about what could have happened at home.

After a moment of silence, it was Burl Radcliffe who finally spoke.

He let Oilt a long sigh and. with a lowered head. said. “MV daughter. this

morning your mom and I accidentally lost your necklace while we were at work…”

“What!”

Quella Radcliffe shouted in disbelief and then anger quickly took over.

That was the unique gift Julius Reed had given her! It had stirred up Gonzalez City, a treasure countless girls dreamed of but couldn’t obtain—the Light of Dawn!

Previously, Knox Ridge had made a fuss to borrow it for a couple of days, and despite Quella’s reluctance, she had agreed only to lend it for two days.

But now, Knox Ridge had actually lost the necklace!

“Do you realize that was a gift Julius Reed gave me! How could you be so careless!”

Quella Radcliffe yelled out loud, a rush of aggrieved emotions flooding her.

The Light of Dawn might be costly, but the necklace held a unique meaning to her!

It was the first gift from Julius Reed, and it marked a change in her husband since she received that necklace.

“What are you yelling for!”

Seeing Quella’s intense agitation, Knox Ridge muttered, “It’s only a damn necklace, and who knows, maybe it’s just forgotten at home.” Even when at fault, she was never accustomed to admitting it.

“Then go look for it!”

Quella Radcliffe shouted, “Go and find it for me!”

“I am your birth mother, Quella, how can you talk to me like that?”

Knox Ridge had already searched. After discovering the necklace missing, she and Burl Radcliffe had rushed back home.

But no matter how much they searched, it was as if the necklace had evaporated from the mortal world, completely untraceable.

“Could Julius Reed have stolen it? I heard that necklace was quite valuable, maybe he stole it and snuck it back out when I wasn’t paying attention. Think about it, he’s penniless, where would he get the money to buy you such an expensive gift?”

Knox Ridge habitually shifted the blame onto Julius Reed’s head since in this family, whenever something went wrong, it was always this son-in-law who got the blame.

“Right! It must be him! He definitely stole the necklace when we weren’t looking! ”

Burl Radcliffe chimed in from the side. The necklace was still there when the couple left in the morning, and by that time, Julius Reed had already headed to the company with Quella Radcliffe, but to cover for his wife, he also turned a blind eye to the truth.

“You!”

Quella Radcliffe’s breath became rapid with rage, and anger surged through her entire body.

Although she didn’t know where Julius Reed had gotten the money, she was certain her husband was not a thief or a petty criminal!

Knox Ridge and Burl Radcliffe were both blatantly lying through their teeth, outright slandering!

“No matter! If my in-laws suspect me, then go ahead and call the police.”

Julius Reed leaned against the door, smiling as if he were not smiling, and said. These two unrespectable elders, if not for the sake of his wife, would have been dead cold by now.

Nobody who dared talk to the Young Master of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance like that had ever left alive.

“Oh! Julius Reed, you think I wouldn’t dare? Just wait!”

Convinced that Julius Reed was the thief, Knox Ridge took out her phone and was about to call the police.

Perfect opportunity for her to deal with this son-in-law who was an eyesore no matter how she looked at him.

“Call the police!”

Julius Reed was completely unconcerned, as though watching a clown, and took out a receipt from his pocket, “This is the receipt from the Dawn’s Light, I happen to want the police to trace its whereabouts, after all, losing someone else’s item worth tens of millions requires compensation. If you can’t pay up, you might as well sit through a prison term!”

“Let me see!”

Knox Ridge’s face changed drastically, she stood up, snatched the receipt, and her face suddenly changed color.

It clearly stated Julius Reed’s name and his mobile number.

As for the amount, Knox Ridge felt dizzy, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Thirteen million three hundred and fourteen thousand!

If the police pursued the matter, the two of them would definitely end up sitting through a prison term.

“Kid, where’s the evidence then?”

In front of everyone, Knox Ridge tore the receipt to shreds, then followed by swallowing the pieces.

“Mom! How… how could you do this!”

Quella Radcliffe’s face turned red, trembling with rage, how could her own mother be so shamelessly impudent!

“Julius Reed, go on and call the police then!”

After doing all this, Knox Ridge looked triumphantly at Julius Reed, her eyes filled with defiance.

“I just lost the necklace, what can you do to me?”

“Really? This one is made of iron, you better think carefully before swallowing.”

In the face of his mother-in-law’s absurd actions, Julius Reed took out an iron card from his pocket and casually tossed it in front of them, “This is the Love Island membership card, which can track my purchase history in any city’s store. Eat slowly, don’t hurt yourself.”

The threshold for a Love Island membership card is high, but Julius Reed’s single purchase of over thirteen million instantly granted him membership status.

Even without that receipt, his ownership of the Dawn’s Light could still be proven.

“You…”

Knox Ridge’s face turned pale, feeling played for a fool by Julius Reed!

Thinking of the receipt in her stomach made her feel nauseous.

“Enough bickering! You have three days to find the necklace and return it to me!”

Witnessing her mother’s shrew-like behavior, Quella Radcliffe felt extremely unpleasant.

“Right, why are you home from work so early today?”

Burl Radcliffe glanced at his watch; it wasn’t even three in the afternoon yet.

The Radcliffe Group had working hours from nine to five, and this was Quella Radcliffe’s first day at the job as a project manager, yet she came home early?

“I resigned.”

Facing the questioning of her father, Quella Radcliffe answered helplessly..
