Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 443
Chapter 443: Chapter 443 Remember My Words_1
“Julius Reed!”
When Dempsey Davenport saw Julius Reed, her heart nearly shattered.
She had just finished making up stories about Julius, and the main character had arrived!
Did he hear what had just been said?
It was a lie out of desperation, if it were…
If it reached Quella Radcliffe’s ears, she truly wished she could hide in a hole in the ground!
“So, you’re Julius Reed?”
Pier Davenport coldly assessed Julius with a glance and disdainfully said, “Scram!”
After speaking, he continued to pull Dempsey Davenport.
“Let go.”
Julius Reed spoke out.
“Those who dared to tell me to scram before are the ones who ended up scramming first.”
Hearing this, Royden Reed slowly let go of Dempsey Davenport’s hand and straightened his clothes before saying, “I’m her uncle, Royden Reed. State your demands, and I will satisfy them.”
It was nothing but interest, as long as sufficient benefits were provided, he did not believe this man would have any affection left for Dempsey Davenport.
Men are very realistic!
“I don’t want anything from you.”
Julius shrugged and said, “My wife is the chairwoman of the Radcliffe Group, my mistress is incredibly capable, why should I give up such an excellent woman for your benefits?”
With these words, Dempsey Davenport’s face immediately flushed red.
This statement was truly embarrassing to hear!
“So, you are planning to oppose the Davenport Family?”
Royden Reed watched Julius coldly, this man was a bit tricky, or perhaps insatiable, seizing the chance to raise his price!
“If Dempsey Davenport wishes to leave, then I won’t keep her; you may take her. But if she does not wish to go, then it doesn’t matter if it’s you or even her own father, you’ll still have to scram!”
Julius fearlessly met Royden Reed’s eyes, his aura overpowering Royden’s.
“Dempsey Davenport, come with me!”
Royden Reed’s face darkened as he turned to look at Dempsey Davenport.
His trip to Gonzalez City was with the family’s mission; he had to take Dempsey Davenport back!
Alive or dead, there had to be a result!
He absolutely could not return empty-handed!
“I’m not going back!”
Dempsey Davenport spoke resolutely, “You want me to go back and marry my cousin? How absurd! What era is it, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”
“Whether they laugh or not is none of your concern. Jaxson Leocadia taking a fancy to you is the honor of your life! Plus, with the Leocadia Family fragmented, the Jaxson lineage has the best chance to seize power! When that time comes, you will be the most powerful woman in the Leocadia Family, and our Davenport Family can rapidly rise!”
Royden Reed discussed this openly, his intent very clear; regardless of how Dempsey Davenport resisted, she had to be taken away!
“That’s my cousin! Jaxson truly is a beast!”
Dempsey Davenport shouted in despair.
“Shut up! Young Master Leocadia is not someone you can comment on!”
Royden Reed raised his hand to strike Dempsey Davenport, but his hand was suddenly seized in mid-air.
“Old man, hitting a woman? Impotent rage, eh?”
When he turned around, he found Julius gripping his arm tightly, with a cold smirk on his face.
“My family affairs are none of your concern!”
Royden Reed tried to break free, but Julius’s grip was like a vise, immovable.
“Let go of me!”
He bellowed angrily.
“If you dare hit her again, I will cripple one of your arms, and I mean it.”
Julius pushed Royden Reed away and said to Dempsey Davenport, “Come with me!”
If Quella Radcliffe were here, she too would have saved Dempsey Davenport without a second thought.
But his actions only made Royden more certain that the two of them really had a connection!
“Julius Reed! If you pretend that today’s incident didn’t happen, and forget what happened before, I’ll give you ten billion!”
Royden Reed shouted behind them.
Ten billion, enough to ensure a carefree life for anyone.
“He’d investigated.”
“Facing bankruptcy and closure, the Radcliffe Group was in dire straits, and Dempsey Davenport only had hundreds of thousands in savings, without any significant sum of money.”
“With that ten billion, wouldn’t he have whatever women he desired in a life of luxury and dissipation?”
“Any normal person wouldn’t refuse.”
“Sure enough, Julius Reed stopped in his tracks.”
“This also made Dempsey Davenport’s heart tremble.”
“Could it be that this man gave her hope, only to plunge her into despair?”
“But all of this seemed only natural.”
“She had no relationship with Julius Reed, and had even sullied her own reputation to use his innocence.”
“Now, this ten billion should be considered compensation. According to her understanding of Julius Reed, he would probably give this money to the Radcliffe Group.”
“By then, the Radcliffe Group, with ten billion in liquid funds, could definitely make a comeback,”
“It would be her last contribution to her close friend.”
“How about it, are you tempted?”
Royden Reed burst into laughter, pointing at Dempsey Davenport, “Look, this is the man who got you pregnant! In the face of financial gain…”
“I’ll give you twenty billion!”
Julius Reed looked coldly at Royden Reed, “Twenty billion, and you give me your wife and daughter, then I’ll give your wife a child, and add another grandchild to your family.”
“The moment these words were spoken, Royden Reed’s face drastically changed!”
“This was nothing short of an insult!”
“And Dempsey Davenport also looked at Julius Reed with a strange gaze, the words were too malicious…”
“What, you disagree? Then why should I agree? You think I’m insulting you, but aren’t you also insulting me? He who insults others will be insulted in return!”
Julius Reed turned and said to Dempsey Davenport, “Let’s go!”
“Go where!”
Royden Reed bellowed, as four to five men in black suddenly appeared on the street.
These men directly blocked Julius Reed and Dempsey Davenport’s path.
“Today, no one is getting away!”
“Grandfather actually lent you his personal bodyguards!”
Dempsey Davenport looked at Royden Reed with a shocked face, “Was this Grandfather’s idea?”
These bodyguards were extremely formidable and were personal guards of Old Master Davenport.
Now that they had come to Gonzalez City with Royden Reed, the matter very likely involved Old Master Davenport as well.
“Indeed! Old Master Davenport has tacitly approved this matter! Although marrying a close relative is somewhat unspeakable, since Jaxson Leocadia has set his sights on you, we won’t miss out on an opportunity that could bring glory to the family! Moreover, who would dare to gossip about the Leocadia Family?”
Royden Reed snorted coldly and walked backhandedly upto the two and said, “This is what happens when you don’t appreciate the toast and end up facing the penalties!”
“The Leocadia Family? What relation are Jaxson Leocadia and Sophia Leocadia?”
Julius Reed asked.
“Jaxson Leocadia is Sophia Leocadia’s brother, but not by blood. Jaxson’s father is the eldest, while Sophia’s father is the youngest.”
Dempsey Davenport explained the intricate family relations.
Having gotten the answer, Julius Reed turned to Royden Reed, “Toasts are bland, it’s the penalties that hit the spot.”
“Utterly ignorant of death!”
Royden Reed gestured with a wave of his hand, “Take them down!”
“I’ll go back with you! Let him go!”
Dempsey Davenport stood in front of Julius Reed.
These bodyguards were highly skilled and impossible to defeat.
Smack!
Royden Reed suddenly slapped her hard, pointing at Dempsey Davenport and scolding her, “Too late! You shameless wretch!”
“Do you remember what I just said?”
Julius Reed pulled Dempsey Davenport back and looked coldly at Royden Reed.
“What?”
Royden Reed asked, frowning.
“I said, if you dare hit her again, I’ll cripple one of your arms.”
Julius Reed suddenly smiled and swiftly grabbed Royden Reed’s wrist.
