Chapter 632: Chapter 632 Cooper Ridge’s Betrayal_1
“Ladies and gentlemen, how did the discussion go?”
After pacifying Jennifer Lopez, Fabian Percival returned to the banquet.
He organized this banquet to boost morale!
“Father, according to our investigation, we found that Julius Reed’s in-laws live in an old neighborhood, without any protection around them.”
Elwood Thorneycroft finished speaking and clapped his hands.
As the clapping began,
escorted by several bodyguards, a young man walked through the door.
The young man’s face was covered in bruises, but his eyes were filled with anger.
“What’s this…”
Fabian Percival stared at the young man intently, unsure of what Elwood Thorneycroft was up to.
“Father! This is Rebecca Brown, the person Boss Brown captured.”
Elwood Thorneycroft noticed the confusion on Fabian Percival and quickly explained, “This kid was blind to the rules, he offended Boss Brown last night at the Treasure Wine House and got a harsh lesson.”
After saying that, Fabian Percival took another look at the youth and noticed that his hands were severely deformed, with three fingers still wrapped in bandages.
His face and body were also covered in abrasions.
Clearly, he had been mistreated before.
“So… what is he doing here?”
Fabian Percival glanced at Rebecca Brown, wondering why such a trivial matter would disturb him.
Could it be that he offended some major heir?
But considering Rebecca Brown’s cautious character, it was unlikely that he would make such a low-level mistake.
“Mr. Thorneycroft!”
Rebecca Brown stood up from his seat, slowly walked next to the young man, and introduced, “This young man’s name is Cooper Ridge. He has another identity; he is Quella Radcliffe’s cousin. As for who Quella Radcliffe is, I think Mr. Thorneycroft is very clear.”
“So there’s that connection!”
Fabian Percival was somewhat surprised, as this was indeed someone close to Julius Reed.
“Just that…”
He hesitated a bit, “Even if he is a relative, he’s not a close kin. Can we use him to threaten Julius Reed?”
If they were to threaten someone, at least it should be direct relatives like parents or spouse.
A mere cousin of the wife may not be effective.
“Mr. Thorneycroft, you’ve misunderstood my point.”
Rebecca Brown was initially stunned, then laughed, “These two have a feud! And the grudge runs deep!”
“Then it’s even less likely to work.” Fabian Percival shook his head, unable to hide the disappointment in his gaze.
He harbored a hatred for Julius Reed to the bone and wanted to do everything in his power to put this young man to death!
“Mr. Thorneycroft, this Cooper Ridge, he is willing to help us take down Julius Reed!”
After Rebecca Brown finished speaking, he made a beheading gesture.
“Oh? Why?”
Upon hearing this, Fabian Percival was taken aback.
Even after being beaten up by Rebecca Brown like this, he still wanted to help them plot against Julius Reed?
Did he have a masochistic tendency?
“I hate Julius Reed! I want to make him kneel at my feet like a dog, I want to leave him with no grave to lie in!”
Cooper Ridge said viciously.
“Julius Reed cost him his job, and he got beat up like this because of Julius Reed as well,” Rebecca Brown shrugged and said, “So he’s willing to pay any price to get Julius Reed into hell.”
“If he turns on us…” Fabian Percival took out a cigarette from the pocket on his chest, and Elwood Thorneycroft hurriedly lit it for him.
“Hss…”
After taking a deep drag, he laughed, “Seems like we won’t have much to lose either way.”
“Correct!”
Rebecca Brown nodded, looking at Cooper Ridge, “Tell Lord Thorneycroft everything you know. If things work out, you won’t be left without a reward.”
“Thank you, Lord Thorneycroft!”
Cooper Ridge immediately knelt in front of Fabian Percival, saying with malice, “My aunt and uncle live in that old neighborhood without anyone to look after them. And their relationship with Julius Reed is very bad!”
“But still, those are Quella Radcliffe’s parents. As far as I know, Quella Radcliffe is extremely filial. If we catch these two old people, Quella Radcliffe certainly won’t sit still!”
“Heh heh! By then, if we can control Quella Radcliffe, Julius Reed will be like a lamb to the slaughter!”
After hearing these words, Fabian Percival’s brow furrowed tightly.
“Vito,” he said, “this seems quite different from our intelligence!”
According to their investigation, although Julius Reed and Quella Radcliffe were husband and wife, their relationship was not good.
Or rather, they were a couple only in name.
They didn’t believe that such a person could threaten Julius Reed.
In contrast, the relationship between Itai Huntington and Julius Reed was very intimate, something they had witnessed themselves.
“Mr. Thorneycroft,”
Brown Bread once again approached Fabian Percival, whispering in his ear, “Jennifer Lopez’s confidant met a grisly end for the kidnapping of Quella Radcliffe and successfully luring Julius Reed out. However, lacking in strength, they were later executed by dismemberment!”
“Good! Let’s do it this way!”
Fabian Percival’s eyes, like those of a hawk, suddenly shrank together, revealing an endless chill.
“Cooper Ridge, if you’re trying to fake suffering to manipulate Julius Reed, I’ll make your life a living hell!” Fabian Percival said coldly.
Startled by his threat, Cooper Ridge quickly kowtowed, “Lord Thorneycroft, I swear to the heavens! If there is a half-lie in what I just said, may I be struck by lightning!”
“What’s the rush!”
Fabian Percival smiled faintly, “I haven’t finished talking. If you help us kill Julius Reed, you won’t be left out of the wealth and glory to come in Gonzalez City!”
“Thank you, Mr. Thorneycroft!”
Cooper Ridge quickly expressed his gratitude.
After being tortured, he didn’t dare to hold a grudge against Rebecca Brown.
Instead, he attributed all his misfortunes to Julius Reed, blaming him for not coming to the rescue!
The anger of the weak only targets those even weaker.
But what he didn’t know was that Julius Reed was the real powerhouse.
In comparison to him, Fabian Percival was like a firefly competing with the bright moon.
“Very good! Very good!”
Fabian Percival nodded his head and walked over to Cooper Ridge, gently helping him to his feet.
“Thank you, Mr. Thorneycroft!”
Overwhelmed by favor, Cooper Ridge was incredibly excited.
Now, he felt his decision was absolutely right!
He could seek revenge on Julius Reed and secure a promising future for himself!
“Rebecca, arrange for someone to bring back that damned old fool.”
Fabian Percival waved his hand, and Rebecca Brown turned to leave the banquet, taking Cooper Ridge with him.
“Brown Bread, go and help out. Make sure nothing goes wrong.”
“Understood!”
Brown Bread nodded, leading a group of elite employees closely behind.
“Everyone, please continue eating and chatting! I’m not feeling too well, so I’ll step out first,” Fabian Percival said looking at the table full of guests, clasping his hands together apologetically.
“Mr. Thorneycroft, your health comes first!”@@novelbin@@
“Exactly! We’re all counting on you to get revenge for us!”
“Mr. Thorneycroft, take care!”
The entire room stood up, respectfully seeing Fabian Percival off.
“Please, enjoy yourselves. I’ll take my leave now!”
Fabian Percival turned around, leaning on his Boss cane, and slowly left the room.
Elwood Thorneycroft followed closely behind, worried that Fabian Percival might suddenly fall.
The confrontation earlier had dealt the old man a substantial blow.
Thud!
As they crossed a courtyard, just about to enter the resting room,
Elwood Thorneycroft suddenly fainted.
“Vito, what’s the matter?”
Fabian Percival heard the noise, turned around quickly, and squatted down to check Elwood Thorneycroft’s condition.
But the next moment,
He felt a cold blade resting against his neck.
What do you think?
