Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 615: Chapter 615 Missed Opportunity_1

Julius Reed’s words were piercing, leaving Knox Ridge speechless.

Indeed, if Cooper Ridge had won earlier, she would have definitely forced Julius Reed to kneel!

After all, Damien Leopold was her hope of going home for the New Year, and she couldn’t offend him no matter what.

Moreover, she didn’t like this son-in-law one bit and was always looking for ways to suppress him.

“Speak up, why are you silent now? Mother-in-law, aren’t you usually quite talkative?”

Julius Reed sneered coldly, staring straight at Knox Ridge.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

“Julius Reed, I am your mother-in-law! Do you even regard me anymore?” Knox Ridge, feeling completely helpless, resorted to making a scene.

One hand on her hip, the other pointing at Julius Reed, “You ungrateful wretch, I’ve supported you eating and drinking for free for three years, and this is how you speak to me now?”

“Mom!”

Quella Radcliffe stepped in front of Julius Reed, pushing Knox Ridge’s hand down, “Julius Reed, eating and drinking for free? How can you say that without your conscience hurting?”

“You, you ungrateful girl, always siding with outsiders…”

“I’m not!”

Quella Radcliffe interrupted Knox Ridge, her face filled with anger, “Three years, have you done the laundry? Cooked? Cleaned the toilet? Mopped the floor? You haven’t!”

“When you come home, you just sit on the sofa, and everything is ready for you! If there’s a little dust left on the coffee table, you’d scold Julius Reed for half a day!

“If the food doesn’t suit your taste, you’d bang on the table and curse people!”

“Have you ever thought about how, in a family like ours, you live like a queen, expecting clothes to come to you when you spread out your hands, and food when you open your mouth? Are you that rich?”

“It’s because Julius Reed has been silently doing all these things!”

At the end of her speech, Quella Radcliffe’s voice choked up, “Julius Reed prepares breakfast in the morning and then starts cleaning. By the time he’s done, he has to prepare dinner. And you all take it for granted!”

“I…”

Knox Ridge, at a loss for words and trembling with anger, found herself unable to retort.

Since she had come back, she had been irritable with Burl Radcliffe all the time, feeling like nothing was going right.

The meals weren’t timely or tasty.

The house was a mess!

She didn’t even know how to unclog the toilet when it got blocked.

Calling Burl Radcliffe over, the two could only stand together, at a complete loss.

It was then that she realized Julius Reed’s importance to the home.

Knox Ridge had thought about hiring a maid, but as soon as she saw the prices online, she immediately dismissed the idea.

Combined, her and Burl Radcliffe’s monthly income wasn’t enough to pay a maid for half a month.

And after all, who would take as good care of her as her own family member?

Besides, having a stranger in the house all day made her uneasy.

Some things, even if you understand them in your heart, cannot be said out loud.

Knox Ridge couldn’t possibly admit she’d done anything wrong!

Never!

“He is our family’s son-in-law, and he doesn’t make money, doing some household chores should be his responsibility, shouldn’t it?”

Her mouth was as tough as a cooked duck, refusing to give in.

“Responsibility? Since when did the world owe anyone any responsibilities?” Quella Radcliffe looked coldly at her mother, feeling utterly disappointed.

“This family has truly chilled my heart. Three years ago, I never would have thought that the one person who would give me a sense of security and could be relied on would be the husband everyone despised.”

When she was targeted by clan members, by Otis Radcliffe, by Zade Radcliffe.

It was only Julius Reed who silently supported her from the background.

At that time, Knox Ridge didn’t even dare to call Quella Radcliffe.

After finishing speaking, she turned to look at Cooper Ridge, “You think working at Five-state International makes you so great? You think calling me sister-in-law is belittling you?”

“No! This is a direct opportunity to change your fate. An opportunity that many people can’t get in their entire lives is in front of you, and you’re not grasping it, and you’ll also lose everything because of this.”

Julius Reed knew exactly what kind of person he was.

If Cooper Ridge was very polite, considering her face, Julius Reed would definitely lend a hand.

With her relationship with Itai Huntington, shifting a position was a piece of cake.

But Cooper Ridge looked down on others like a snob and directly passed up a golden opportunity.

This was the chance many people dreamt of, one that they couldn’t beg for!

And what did Cooper Ridge do? He threw it away.

“Heh, cousin, cut the crap! He’s just a worker, you think finding a job is something to brag about in front of me?”

Cooper Ridge wore a look of disdain. Julius Reed a person of status? He couldn’t believe it if you beat him to death!

“I’m going to lose everything?” He said with an air of indifference, “Do you believe that I can make him lose his job?”

Through a friend’s introduction, Cooper Ridge got a nice position at Five-state International and had recently been mixing quite well with some young masters in Gonzalez City.

After all, Damien Leopold had money, the capital that allowed him to squander away.

And Julius Reed was just a smelly worker, what made him think he could compare to himself?

Just for Quella Radcliffe’s words just now, he intended to make Julius Reed lose everything!

“He’s at Five-state International, as a mere doorman.”

Quella Radcliffe suddenly laughed.

She used to think she was very kind, but today she realized that some people could make her abandon that kindness.

“Remember, his name is Julius Reed, the infamous loser from Gonzalez City, Julius Reed! Working as a security guard at Five-state International.”

“Oh wow! What a coincidence!”

A smirk appeared on Cooper Ridge’s face. First off, he was working at Five-state International and the friends he knew could get a security guard fired with just a word.

“I thought it was some big job, turns out it’s just a gatekeeper dog.”

“Please show some respect. Even if he’s picking up trash, he’s earning his food with his own hands, without spending a penny of yours!”

Quella Radcliffe glared at Cooper Ridge indignantly and said coldly, “You have to fulfill the bet we made just now.”@@novelbin@@

“Impossible!”

Damien Leopold walked over and shoved Quella Radcliffe away, “Do you really think you’re some kind of boss? A bankrupt woman still dares to show off in front of our Cooper Ridge! Thinking he would apologize to a filthy beggar, impossible!”

“You pushed her?”

Seeing Quella Radcliffe shoved, Julius Reed immediately went over, his hands clenched tightly together.

No one can hurt his wife.

Those who touch her, die.

“Let it go.”

Quella Radcliffe grabbed Julius Reed, yet still insisted, “You must kneel down and apologize to Julius Reed!”

“Let it go.”

Julius Reed grabbed Quella Radcliffe’s hand from behind and said with a faint smile, “This is the so-called excellent Ridge Family tradition, the so-called Ridge Family word that must be kept! Today, I have seen it! The Ridge Family, really impressive. In their bones, they all carry this unique gene.”

Saying this, he took Quella Radcliffe by the hand, picked up the bag of seafood on the table, and strode away.

“Really just a stinking beggar, let’s see how I deal with the pride of a poor man!”

The more Cooper Ridge thought about it, the angrier he got. A gatekeeper dared to trouble him?

So he took out his phone and called his immediate superior: “Manager Martin? This is Cooper Ridge, I need a little favor. It’s about a gatekeeper at our company, named Julius Reed, could you fire him?”

“Yes! Yes! Yes! He’s got a grudge against me, he’s offended me!”

“Oh, thank you so much! I’ll cover the dinner tonight, you choose the place! I’ll definitely be there, don’t worry!”

After hanging up, Cooper Ridge had a sly smile on his face, “Tonight at dinner, Julius Reed will also be there, and I’ll let you all see how he kneels and begs for mercy!”
