Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 619: Chapter 619 Itai Huntington Arrives_1

“`

Cooper Ridge’s sudden change of attitude was already within Julius Reed’s expectation.

However, he still pretended to be surprised and said, “What’s going on? Weren’t you here to apologize to me? What’s with this attitude now? Do you not want my forgiveness?”

Such an expression almost had Quella Radcliffe believing it was real.

If he went into acting, he might even snag that Oscar statuette.

“Apologize?”

Cooper Ridge laughed wildly and said, “Do you deserve it? A mere doorman like you wants an apology from an assistant manager of Five-state International?”

“Julius Reed, what’s in your head?”

“A doorman? Isn’t he a member of the security department?” Bron Martin stood up as well, chuckling and said, “Lake, he knows Chairman Huntington, be careful or you might lose your job.”

The two of them took turns mocking Julius Reed mercilessly.

“Chairman Huntington, someone of his stature is within his reach to know?” Cooper Ridge took off his mask of hypocrisy, leaned his hands on the table, and said coldly, “Julius Reed, you dared to threaten me today, kneel down and apologize right now!”

“Lake! Have you gone mad?”

Bron Martin said with a forced smile, “He just said that Chairman Huntington is coming soon. I’d like to see how you’re going to handle this then!”

Everyone understood the implication and burst into laughter.

Could such a nobody really know the renowned widow of Gonzalez City?

It was like a lunatic’s dream.

“Chairman Huntington is too busy to bother with a nobody like you!” Cooper Ridge laughed out loud, then looked at Quella Radcliffe and Julius Reed, “Sister, do you know who this Mr. Martin sitting next to me is?”

“Isn’t he… a high-ranking executive of a large corporation?”

Julius Reed asked knowingly, feigning ignorance.

“Haha! Julius Reed, you don’t even recognize your immediate superior? This is Bron Martin, Manager Martin! The manager of the general affairs department at Five-state International!” Cooper Ridge was overjoyed inside, watching the shock on Julius Reed’s face triumphantly, “And you dared to spout such nonsense in front of him!”

“Indeed!” Bron Martin dropped his facade as well, and said coldly, “I absolutely will not tolerate such a disgrace among my subordinates! Julius Reed, go through the resignation procedures tomorrow.”

After speaking, he tapped his fingers on the table and pondered briefly, “Considering your defamation of the chairman just now, I’ve decided to pursue your legal responsibility. As for the compensation amount, perhaps it should be around two million. You should be mentally prepared.”

“Two million!”

Julius Reed stood up suddenly, his face ashen, “How could it be so much.”

This time, it was Knox Ridge and Burl Radcliffe who remained calm.

Although they looked down on their son-in-law, it was an undeniable fact that Julius Reed was wealthy.

Along with his current exaggerated acting, they always felt that something was off.

“Is that too much?” Cooper Ridge felt very pleased inside; he walked up to Julius Reed, boastfully saying, “However, if you kneel down and beg me, perhaps that two million…”

“I have a good relationship with Cooper Ridge; if he’s willing to intercede on your behalf, I’m not completely inflexible.”

Bron Martin interjected at the right moment.

In his words, there was already a threat implied.

Now, Julius Reed had to kneel, whether he wanted to or not.

Two million, how would he pay it back?

With Quella Radcliffe’s bankrupt business?

The thought of the couple, one as a defaulter and the other drowning in debt, seemed quite amusing.

“Manager Martin… you… it’s you…”

Julius Reed stammered, terrified by Bron Martin, “How could you be here? Then earlier…”

“Earlier, I was just probing you,” Bron Martin laughed out loud, pointing at Julius Reed, “Who could have imagined such a shameless person exists in this world! Today, not only will you be expelled from the company, but the person who recommended you will have to leave as well!”

“You’re saying?” Julius Reed suddenly smiled, “Don’t blame me for not warning you, but you can’t afford to mess with the person who recommended me.”

To facilitate his own entry and exit at Five-state International, Itai Huntington gave Julius Reed a security position directly.

This way, he didn’t need to register or swipe a card, and could come straight up to see him.

By saying what he did, Bron Martin was essentially trying to push Itai Huntington out.

Interesting.

“I’m saying it! Today, even Jesus can’t save you!”

Pride was written all over Bron Martin’s face; after all, he was the head of the general affairs department with considerable power in his hands.

Creak.

Just at that moment, the door to the private room was pushed open again.

A burly man walked in without even knocking.

“Who is it! Didn’t you hear…”

Before the bearded man could finish speaking, he saw a woman in a long dress walk in.

“`

The woman carried a white handbag worth over a million, her lips smeared with a bright red lipstick.

Her long legs coupled with a voluptuous figure left all the men in the room stunned.

Absolute perfection!

“Chai… Chairman Huntington, how did you get here!”

Bron Martin’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the woman.

At that moment, he remembered what Julius Reed had just said and got a real fright.

But then he thought again, could a security guard invite Itai Huntington?

Daydreamer!

Even the local prominent young men, there were few who could invite their chairman, let alone the insignificant Julius Reed.

It must be a coincidence!

With that in mind, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to greet her.

Itai Huntington was decisive and not someone he could afford to offend.

The other people in the room, hearing that the newcomer was Itai Huntington, also stood up one by one and lined up to welcome her.

A person’s reputation cast a long shadow.

Recently, with the integration of the Gonzalez City Business Alliance, Itai Huntington had been very prominent.

Many people might not know Ovidiu Cook or Aron Jackson, but there was nobody who didn’t know Itai Huntington.

As soon as she entered the room and saw so many people, Itai Huntington was also confused.@@novelbin@@

And furthermore.

Quella Radcliffe was actually here too!

What about the supposed date?

She had dressed up so carefully for nothing!

It seemed there might be another reason for all this.

“Bron Martin, what are you doing here?”

Itai Huntington stood at the door, asking with a stern face.

“This is the situation!” Frightened by her question, Bron Martin’s forehead was covered in cold sweat; he hurriedly explained, “There appeared a scourge in our company, and following the spirit of your instructions, to not wrongly accuse a good person nor to let off a bad one, I personally came to investigate.”

He pointed at Julius Reed, trembling with anger, “This security guard, he actually used the company’s name to bluff and swindle outside, completely ruining our enterprise’s image!”

“Him?”

Seeing the innocent-looking Julius Reed, Itai Huntington felt an extreme sense of helplessness.

Indeed, a pig will never climb a tree.

So, did Julius Reed invite her here just to play along with his act?

Forget it, might as well see it through to the end since I’m here.

Since I’ve come all this way, let’s play the part.

“Yes, it’s him!”

Seeing Itai Huntington surprised, Bron Martin felt overjoyed; this was his chance to shine!

“After receiving the report, I decided to personally investigate this security guard. The result was just like what Cooper Ridge… that is, a young talent from our group, had said. This guy even falsely claimed…”

He stopped short of finishing his sentence.

“Falsely claimed what?”

Itai Huntington pressed, with a serious face, “Don’t beat around the bush when you speak!”

“He said that he knows you…”

The more Bron Martin spoke, the more nervous he got.

A jolt went through Itai Huntington’s heart!

Could Julius Reed have blurted out about the incident in the office?

“Hurry up! Don’t test my patience!”

Itai Huntington asked tersely.

“He said he knows you!”

After Bron Martin finished speaking, he secretly rejoiced; Julius Reed was done for now.

When the chairman gets angry, not even gods can save you!

But when he looked up, he surprisingly saw on Itai Huntington’s face…

A look of… false alarm?
