Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 564
Chapter 564: Chapter 564: Let Her Go_1
“Manager Leocadia, what do we do now?”
Just as the smashing frenzy was taking off downstairs, Leocadia Family security personnel covered in bruises ran upstairs, and immediately knelt in front of Winona Leocadia.
“They didn’t say a word when they came in and started beating us up! CEO Carmichael led them here, we didn’t dare to stop him!”
Behind him, more than a dozen members of the Leocadia Family’s security staff hurried up.
These men were agile and fit, but facing enemies outnumbering them by more than a hundred times, they didn’t dare to make a move.
Unless they were tired of living.
Moreover, with Beckett Carmichael leading the charge, if they really started a fight, it would provoke a clash between two powerful families, a crime no one could afford to be responsible for.
“How could this happen!”
Winona Leocadia’s face was as dark as deep water, his hands gripping the railing tightly.
A perfectly good exhibition, where did so many people come from?
“It was you who did this!”
He suddenly turned around, looking straight at Itai Huntington.
Just ten minutes earlier, this chairman of Five-state International had ordered the dispersal of the guests.
Combining that with the current scene made it hard for him not to link the two incidents together.
A bold idea emerged in his mind.
But, with his current status, he couldn’t possibly confront Beckett Carmichael.
So he focused on Itai Huntington instead.
“It wasn’t me.”
Itai Huntington faced Winona Leocadia’s eyes and answered word by word.
She indeed had no clue.
Julius Reed only asked her to disperse the guests; he never mentioned anything about smashing the place!
Considering the circumstances, it’s likely Aron Jackson’s people who took action, otherwise it wouldn’t have been possible in such a short amount of time.
“The people smashing the place are right downstairs, Manager Leocadia. If you want to know, you can go down and ask them yourself,” Itai Huntington said undaunted.
“Then explain to me why you dispersed the guests!”
Winona Leocadia was angry.
Even if he was a side member of the Leocadia Family, he was still one of the Leocadia Family Members.
How could someone from Gonzalez City dare command him?
“There’s no explanation. I will compensate you according to the contract. My lawyer will contact you later.”
Having said this, Itai Huntington turned to leave.
She wanted some quiet.
The incident today was far too serious.
The Leocadia Family’s exhibition was smashed; it was bound to create an uproar in the capital.
By now, the Leocadia Family Members must have heard about it.
And the person leading the trouble was none other than Beckett Carmichael.
“Stop right there!”
Just as Itai Huntington turned to leave, Winona Leocadia suddenly growled.
“Manager Leocadia, is there anything else…”
Slap!
Itai Huntington turned around, but before she could finish her sentence, her face caught a slap from Winona Leocadia.
“You’re looking for death!”
With fists clenched tight as steel, she took a fierce step forward, about to strike Winona Leocadia.
“Come back!”
Itai Huntington shouted loudly.
“Miss…”
“I said come back.”
“Yes!”
Fury filled the eyes of the formidable bodyguard as he glared at Winona Leocadia, his gaze brimming with murderous intent.
“What’s the matter, big guy, not convinced?”
Winona Leocadia squinted his eyes and slowly walked up to the bodyguard, lazily patting his face with his hand: “Still want to raise your hand against me?”
Seeing his furiously agitated servant, Winona Leocadia spat on the ground: “Pah! What are you? Can’t even look at your own reflection?”
He was a member of the Leocadia Family, and in coming to Gonzalez City, he represented the Leocadia Family!
If the bodyguard dared to retaliate now, the Leocadia Family would ensure that Itai Huntington and her entire lineage would live a life worse than death.
The title of the Four Great Families wasn’t for nothing.
“Itai Huntington, I know you have a big reputation in Gonzalez City, known as the ‘Widow of Fate.’”
Winona Leocadia adjusted his suit, strolling leisurely up to Itai Huntington.
He grabbed Itai Huntington’s shirt collar in a fury and hissed, “You bitch! You’ve ruined everything for me!”
Originally, after the exhibition ended, Winona Leocadia should have been able to return to the Leocadia family and take up a key position within the group.
But now, the exhibition has been trashed!
This had never happened in the history of the Leocadia family!
Internally, the family would surely think that Winona Leocadia was incompetent, leading to the current situation.
But what could Winona Leocadia do?
How could he have anticipated that, in a small county town, someone would dare to openly challenge the Leocadia Family?
The damages below weren’t limited to just the showcases.
It was the ladder to his promotion!
“Let her go.”
Bran Cook gasped for air, his forehead veins bulging.
It seemed as if he might kill someone the next moment!
In his heart, the young lady was untouchable by anyone.
Even if, it was a member of the Leocadia Family.
“Step back!”
Itai Huntington’s breathing was rapid, her face turning red from the lack of oxygen.
But her mind remained rational throughout.
As long as she endured, the Leocadia family wouldn’t really do anything to her.
After all, there was no evidence to connect her to the vandalism of the exhibition.
But if Bran Cook made his move, he would completely cross the line with the Leocadia Family.
“Explain yourself!”
Winona Leocadia glared at Itai Huntington as anger surged within him.
“Heh, who would’ve thought that the widow who makes so many men cower, now behaves as docile as a little kitten.”
Bran Cook finally found an opportunity to mock Itai Huntington mercilessly.
In Gonzalez City, he wouldn’t dare.
But to offend the Leocadia Family.
Itai Huntington’s life was pretty much over!
And he, Bran Cook, would seize this chance to become Gonzalez City’s agent!
“Bran Cook, you will regret this.”
Itai Huntington smiled at Bran Cook: “I really don’t know what makes you so bold to talk to me like this.”
“Ha! Whore! I’ve found you disagreeable for a long time,” Bran Cook’s face darkened, and he huffed, “You slumming with Julius Reed that bastard in bed, utterly shameless! Don’t think I don’t know, you’ve been helping Quella Radcliffe both openly and secretly. Otherwise, how could she possibly have outmaneuvered me?”
He had always been suspicious of this.
But there was no evidence.
Yet all signs suggested that Itai Huntington had never been impartial.
And especially with the recent rampant rumors about Itai Huntington and Julius Reed in Gonzalez City, Bran Cook was more convinced than ever that this pair of dogs were having an affair.
“Remember what you said today.”
Itai Huntington still smiled at Bran Cook, seemingly unfazed by the string of insults.
“You harpy, still defiant even as death approaches!”
Bran Cook narrowed his eyes and walked up to Itai Huntington, fiercely grabbing her hair!
“Hiss!”
The intense pain twisted Itai Huntington’s expression into one of agony, but she fiercely endured without making a sound.
“Holding it in? Then let’s see how tough your bones really are!”
Bran Cook watched Itai Huntington like a sadist, his grip growing tighter.
And Bran Cook’s eyes already spewed fire, but he turned his head away, remembering Itai Huntington’s words.
His fists creaked with tension.
“Let her go!”
Just then, a voice sounded from behind everyone.
Winona Leocadia turned around and saw that the newcomer was Julius Reed!
“Good, the dog and the bitch together at last,” he said with a chuckle, nodding his head then turning back to Itai Huntington, “You still claim this has nothing to do with you? Now your lover has even come knocking!”
“This matter never involved her in the first place,” Julius Reed walked over briskly, saying coldly, “I’m telling you one last time, let her go. Otherwise, you can’t handle the consequences.”
Julius Reed felt guilty for the humiliation Itai Huntington had to suffer because of him.
And now, someone dared to lay hands on Itai Huntington!
His heart was already ablaze with fury.
