Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 536

Chapter 536: Chapter 536 Participation in Exhibition_1

By a little after eleven in the morning, Julius Reed finally rolled out of bed, lazier than ever.

He wasn’t sleepy.

It wasn’t like he’d die without sleep.

But Quella Radcliffe needed rest.

Julius Reed wasn’t foolish, he could sense that Quella Radcliffe wasn’t resting well.

From this, he inferred that she might have been awake even before he had left the house.

If that was really the case, it was even more troubling.

But no matter what, he had to ensure Quella Radcliffe got a good sleep.

So he quietly turned off the alarm clock.

“Oh no! I’m late! What happened to the alarm?”

As Julius Reed got up, Quella Radcliffe also opened her eyes.

Once she saw the time on her phone screen, she sat up abruptly from the bed.

“Twelve o’clock! Damn it! I’m really late now!”

Panicking, Quella Radcliffe slipped on her shoes and rushed out to wash up.

“I’ve arranged for Mr. Reed to handle the company matters. As for the business alliance, there’s nothing urgent for now. Itai Huntington is busy dealing with those old stubborn folks, and has announced a three-day holiday.”

Julius Reed caught Quella Radcliffe’s hand with a mischievous smile, “I saw you weren’t resting well, so I turned off the alarm, letting you sleep in peacefully.”

“Hmph!”

Quella Radcliffe huffed lightly, but inside she felt a tinge of joy.

Unexpectedly, her husband was quite attentive.

When they came out, they found Anna Harris sitting on the sofa, visibly upset.

The breakfast on the table had already gone cold.

“Anna… did you go buy breakfast?”

Scratching her head, Quella Radcliffe then recalled that Anna Harris did seem to have gotten up early to go out for food.

“It’s true, a woman in love has an IQ of less than zero.”

Anna Harris scoffed coldly and said with a touch of wistfulness while watching the cartoon on the TV screen, “Miss Radcliffe, have you forgotten what you said this morning? You kicked me out to buy breakfast just to share a bed with your husband!”

Recalling this matter made Anna Harris angry.

Indeed, even amidst a divorce, the couple remained a united front.

After arguing, they still were family.

As for herself, after investing so much effort in giving advice, she ended up having to go buy breakfast and didn’t even have a place to sleep.

“Ah… Anna, I’m so sorry,”

Quella Radcliffe quickly sat down next to Anna Harris on the sofa, hugging her and gently planting a kiss on her face, “My dear, don’t be mad! I’m free today, what do you say I spend the day with you?”

“Where to?”

Anna Harris tilted her head back, arms crossed with a touch of haughtiness.

“Wherever you say, we’ll go there.”

Quella Radcliffe pointed at Julius Reed, “He’s footing the bill for everything today!”

“I’m paying!”

Julius Reed quickly nodded.

In his view, the biggest troublemaker in the household was Anna Harris, and as long as this woman kept quiet, there would be a lot more peace at home.

“Really?”

Anna Harris raised an eyebrow and grinned, “I heard there’s an exhibition today. It’s from the capital to Gonzalez City. It’s huge and has everything!”

After saying this, she took out her phone and pointed to the message on the screen, “Look at this. Jewelry, antiques, paintings, you name it!”

“You… had already checked it out?”

Quella Radcliffe arched an eyebrow and looked at Anna Harris with an incredulous gaze, “You wouldn’t have been planning to swindle me all along, would you?”

“Who! Who looked it up in advance? I was just bored and clicked randomly, who knew I’d stumble upon this news.”

Anna Harris’s eyes darted about, followed by a sly chuckle, “This exhibition, I checked it out, it’s big time! The Leocadia Family from the capital is organizing it. They’ve gathered all the high-end brands. It’s a rare sight in a place like Gonzalez City!”

“That… um…”

Julius Reed’s head buzzed. He felt it might be better not to go to the Leocadia’s place.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it make his entanglement with Sophia Leocadia even harder to explain?

“What, you want to back out now!”

Anna Harris slammed the remote onto the sofa, stood up with hands on hips, ready to retort.

“I mean…”

Julius Reed quickly extended his hands to stop her, “I mean, should we call a car? The expo is definitely going to be packed with vehicles, and with the New Year upon us, parking will be a hassle!”

“You see, my husband is so thoughtful. Anna, you shouldn’t always be biased against him.”

Quella Radcliffe gave Anna Harris a gentle nudge with her elbow.

“I… I’m biased!”

Anna Harris pointed to herself, her expression one of disbelief: “This scumbag…”

“Today’s expenses, put them on my card…”

Julius Reed took out a black card.

“Quella, actually your husband isn’t too bad, maybe I’ve been too harsh.”

Having said that, Anna Harris ran back to her room and took out a large bag she had prepared earlier: “Everyone, let’s go on a shopping spree today!”

Julius Reed: …

Quella Radcliffe: …

“Could you two sisters take me with you…”

Just at that moment, Sophia Leocadia quietly opened the door and peeked her little head out.

“Of course, you can.”

Quella Radcliffe spoke, “Go get ready, I’ll heat up the breakfast, and then we’ll head out!”

…

By the time the four of them arrived at the Gonzalez City expo, it was already past one in the afternoon.

As Julius had anticipated, it was very crowded.

To say it was packed with people would be no exaggeration.

The wide road, which was spacious before, was now filled with parked cars.

The Five-state International building, located in the suburbs, had become a bustling downtown area at this moment.

Many luxury cars were parked along the roadside, and countless men and women walked around here.

Gonzalez City is coastal, and there’s also an airport.

The transportation is extremely convenient.

Because the number of people who came to the expo was enormous.

“Well, well, if it isn’t Mr. Reed! Only a day has passed, and I already have two more rivals?”

When the four got off the car arranged by Aron Jackson, they happened to bump into Itai Huntington.

As the owner of Five-state International, Itai Huntington was maintaining order at the time, while also checking for any security risks.

Little did she know that when she looked up, she’d see Julius Reed getting out of the car with three women.

“Oh! Expanding the populace, are we?”

When she saw Sophia Leocadia for the first time, Itai Huntington was quite shocked.

Such a young age and already so beautiful!

She felt she looked familiar but couldn’t recall where she had seen her before.

“Miss Huntington, have some self-respect!”

Julius Reed frowned, “Otherwise, I won’t mind spanking you in front of your subordinates.”

“You…”

The bodyguard behind Itai Huntington immediately stepped forward, glaring at Julius Reed.

“Back off!”

Itai Huntington said sternly.

“Yes, Miss.”

The bodyguard gave Julius Reed a resentful glance, reluctantly falling back behind Itai Huntington.

“I don’t mean to look down on you, but with you, I could take you out in one move.”

Julius held up his middle finger towards the bodyguard.

“Mr. Reed, don’t stoop to the servant’s level. If there’s anything you need here, just come to me. Don’t be shy.”

After saying that, Itai Huntington even threw a wink at Julius Reed.

“Keep this up, and I’ll hit you.”

Julius Reed hastily retreated with the three women.

“Miss, why did you…”

The bodyguard watched Julius Reed’s retreating figure, his teeth itching with hatred.

“Because only he can help me take back everything I’ve lost…”

Itai Huntington sighed, “When you think about it, I’ve been ousted from the family for many years now…”
