YM778.TV Chapter 431: 431: Props_1
However, Knox Ridge and Burl Radcliffe felt nothing at all!
The two mechanically took a few bites of their food, still not over the shock!
Eating felt like chewing wax!
The Cook family’s people really did just kneel there, from the beginning of the meal, all the way until they had finished eating!
They didn’t move an inch the whole time, kneeling perfectly straight!
Knox Ridge occasionally looked at the Cook family’s people, scared to death.
She was most afraid of being retaliated against.
Especially since the Cook family had such a fearsome player, and their family fortune was not something she could compare with.
Burl Radcliffe shared her thoughts, with his heart condition almost being startled into action.
By the time they left Twilight Mansion, Knox Ridge immediately revived.
She placed her hands on her hips and scolded Julius Reed, “You’ve killed us! Is there a good outcome after offending the Cook family?”
“If I don’t offend them, should I allow them to insult us?”
Julius Reed sneered and shook his head, “When you were being insulted just now, why didn’t you fight back? It’s really easy to be submissive to outsiders, but aggressive at home! If only you used a third of the competence you have against me, it wouldn’t have come to this!”
Usually, she had plenty of competence against her own family, but she became a coward in front of outsiders.
“Mom! I think Julius did nothing wrong.”
Quella Radcliffe had now come to a realization, “If we don’t fight back, they will keep bullying us. Do you really imagine evil people will become good? That’s too unrealistic!”
Even if they tolerated it today, with Bran Cook’s personality, he would seek revenge!
He wouldn’t stop until the Radcliffe family was bankrupt!
Since it’s come to a do-or-die situation, why bother with courtesies?
“Really! It’s no use talking to you! You’ve doomed us all!”
Knox Ridge, with her hands on her hips, cursed loudly, “Julius Reed, get out of here! The farther, the better!”
“What did you say?”
Just then, a flamboyantly dressed woman appeared before them.
The woman was wearing a red coat and sunglasses and had a thick scent of perfume.
“I’m dealing with my own family matters!”
Knox Ridge impatiently replied, “What’s it to you?”
“What did you just say?”
The woman asked again.
“I told him to get lost…”
Slap!
Knox Ridge hadn’t finished speaking when she received a harsh slap on her face.
“You dare to hit me!”
She covered her face, incredulous.
Once she regained her composure, she became furious, “You wretched woman, you dare…”
Slap!
The woman slapped her again and took off her sunglasses, looking at Knox Ridge, “If I ever hear you disrespecting him again!”
She glanced at Julius Reed and continued, “I will make you live to regret it!”
“You…”
“I’m Itai Huntington, and if you’re not convinced, come and find me!”
Itai Huntington put on her glasses with an authoritative air, giving Knox Ridge a cold stare.
As a Gonzalez City local, Knox Ridge naturally knew about the famed Itai Huntington!
The Fatal Widow!
The most mysterious and feared person in the whole of Gonzalez City!
No one knew who stood behind Itai Huntington, but every man who wanted her met a terrible fate without exception!
At best, their companies went bankrupt; at worst, they met with total ruin!
Three years ago, a wealthy outsider tried to experience the charms of this fatal widow, curious about how formidable she really was.
The very next day he was found brutally murdered at the Gonzalez City docks!
And it wasn’t just him; his entire family was killed!
Ever since then, Itai Huntington became synonymous with a venomous snake!
If Knox Ridge dared to provoke such a person, then she really was tired of living.
“So it’s Miss Huntington…”
She stammered in fear.
“You just called me a wretched woman.”
Itai Huntington slightly smiled.
“I didn’t dare!”
Knox Ridge quickly knelt down, pleading loudly for mercy.
Completely disregarding the fact that this was the entrance to Twilight Mansion.
“That’s enough!”
Julius Reed said in a low voice.
“You shut your…”
Knox Ridge was about to curse, but then she remembered Itai Huntington’s recent words and forced the curse that had reached her lips back down her throat.
“Mr. Reed, may I have a word with you?”
Itai Huntington said in a charmingly seductive manner.
“Sure, but keep it professional.”
Julius Reed said with a stern face, not giving Itai Huntington any face.
This scared Knox Ridge, who was kneeling on the ground, half to death.
Her recklessly out-spoken son-in-law actually dared to speak to the deadly widow like that—was he seeking death?
But better dead than alive!
Quella Radcliffe could remarry!
Contrary to her expectations, not only did Itai Huntington not get angry, but she stood there like a little girl who had done something wrong, fiddling with the hem of her garment.
“You could definitely be a great actress!”
Julius Reed couldn’t help but laugh, then said to Quella Radcliffe, “You go back with mom and dad first, I’ll be a little late.”
After saying that, he walked away with Itai Huntington.
“Aren’t you afraid your wife will be jealous?”
Itai Huntington asked, blinking.
“No problem, my wife trusts you!”
Julius Reed said with a smile.
“Trust, what kind of trust?”
“Because you’re not as pretty as her, not as tall as her, and your personality is not as good as hers…”
“Am I really that worthless? You should know, so many men want to get me and can’t!”
“But there is one thing, you’re bigger than my wife in!”
“Pah! You rascal!”
Itai Huntington couldn’t help but glance at her chest, her face instantly turning red.
Even though she was known as the deadly widow, she was still a woman!
Women like to be complimented.
“What are you thinking? I was talking about your age! You’re older than my wife!”
Julius Reed said with a straight face.
Now it was Itai Huntington’s turn to feel embarrassed.
“You caused the ruin of my family! Today I’m going to kill you!”
Just then, a man charged at Julius Reed!
Bang!
Out of nowhere on the deserted street, a burly man suddenly appeared and knocked the man to the ground in a flash.
“Your guy, he’s very skilled.”
Julius Reed glanced at Itai Huntington.
Ever since the two of them had come out, Julius Reed could feel that there was someone closely following them.
Now it seemed that this person must be Itai Huntington’s bodyguard.
In face of danger, he naturally appeared.
“I’m going to kill you!”
The man was being pinned down by the burly man on his back, still cursing incessantly.
He was none other than Ken Leocadia, who had been dealt with by Julius Reed!
His father, Marcella Leocadia’s company, was sealed the very next day.
Ken Leocadia, who used to spend his days womanizing and causing trouble on the street, had become a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to punch.
After much thought, and under the influence of those around him, he decided to assassinate Julius Reed.
“Let him come here!”
Julius Reed waved his hand.
But the burly man did not move.
“Do as he says.”
Itai Huntington said.
“Miss, your safety…”
The burly man was hesitant.
“If I can’t be safe by his side, then you can’t protect me either.”
Itai Huntington looked towards Julius Reed, “Right?”
“All right!”
The burly man lifted his foot, and Ken Leocadia immediately picked up a knife from the ground, charging at the two, stabbing fiercely towards Julius Reed’s chest!
There was no blood gushing scene as imagined, no body of Julius Reed lying across the street.
Not even a drop of blood.
“Metalhead, this knife was sold to you by my people, a prop knife!”
Julius Reed took the knife and gently pressed the blade.
The blade immediately retracted with a bit of force.
“You…”
“With your intelligence, if you acted in TV dramas, you’d only be able to play a eunuch, one who failed to get into the palace and died on the operating table.”
Julius Reed stuffed the knife back into his hand.
