Chapter 881: Chapter 881: Zade Radcliffe’s Secret
Leaving Moonshadow Hotel, Julius Reed couldn’t calm his heart.
He stood on the street, watching the busy road as people came and went, and felt slightly relieved.
Just now, he almost wanted to rush directly to Thunderpeak Hall!
But he knew without thinking that Granny Xihua must not be there.
Ultimately, he had underestimated that old woman.
A woman who sold eggs in America three hundred years ago.
Thunderpeak Hall had survived tumultuous times for three hundred years and had made it to the present day.
Indeed, this proved Granny Xihua had some skills.
Sitting by the roadside, Julius Reed took out his phone and called Red Widow.
The contact between them was top secret!
They seldom communicated.
That day in Five-river Province, when Red Widow asked Miguel Abbott to send a letter, he himself went to Gonzalez City.
To investigate the truth.
This matter, even Aron Jackson was unaware of it.
Because the people under investigation were the Radcliffes!
Even including Quella Radcliffe!
"Where are you?"
After the call connected, there was no response from the other end.
Julius Reed had no choice but to speak first.
"Gonzalez City," Red Widow said quietly.
"Any leads?"
As he asked, Julius Reed felt some pain in his heart.
He was really worried that if this matter was related to Quella Radcliffe.
Then, how should he proceed?
"Yes!"
Red Widow’s single word struck directly at Julius Reed’s heart.
"Tell me..."
He took a deep breath, unable to stop fiddling with his hair.
Except for love, nothing else could make the Dragon King lose his composure like today!
Having lived for thousands of years, he was without weaknesses!
Had it not been for amnesia, he wouldn’t have had such feelings for Quella Radcliffe.
Although he liked Quella Radcliffe very much now,
a man, always has to learn restraint.
Unless—
he was drugged.
"Zade Radcliffe, that is, Quella Radcliffe’s grandfather, has suddenly disappeared. I have searched through the entire Five-river Province and found not a single piece of information about Zade Radcliffe. And not just him, Otis Radcliffe has disappeared too!"
As Red Widow spoke, Julius Reed immediately stood up, "Search! We must find out if the Radcliffes are related to this matter."
Ever since Red Widow extracted information from a traitor of Wayland, he felt his presence in Gonzalez City was no coincidence!
Everything seemed as if it had been arranged!
In the world, are such coincidences possible?
Impossible!
But why, then, did it happen in Gonzalez City?
After regaining his memory, he had also investigated the Radcliffes.
Ovidiu Cook, being the local wealthiest, knew the Radcliffes very well.
There was no problem at all.
But now, Zade Radcliffe’s mysterious disappearance seemed to add a lot of uncertainty to this matter.
"I am looking into it, please rest assured," Red Widow paused before speaking, "How are you doing in the capital?"
"Fine, and you must be careful in Gonzalez City. As far as I know, some of the traitors from Wayland are there," Julius Reed settled his emotions before speaking.
Gonzalez City, a den of dragons and tigers.
Lurking dangers.
"I’m fine, don’t worry. Also, there’s something else I think I should tell you about."
Red Widow asked, "In the three years you’ve been married into the Radcliffe family, have you heard any news about Quella’s grandmother?"
"Quella’s grandmother died early, everyone in the Radcliffe family knows that. What, have you found something?"
The more Julius Reed listened, the more he felt that something was amiss.
Zade Radcliffe had been widowed early and never remarried.
This was common knowledge among the Radcliffes.
Every Qingming festival, Julius Reed went with Quella to burn paper and pay respects to her grandmother.
But why then, had Red Widow suddenly brought this up?
"During your time with the Radcliffes, have you seen any photos of Zade Radcliffe’s wife, or any information at all?"
Red Widow asked again, "Or, besides Zade Radcliffe, has anyone ever seen his spouse?"
"No!"
Julius Reed tried hard to recall.
It seemed the Radcliffes’ memory about Quella’s grandmother was all identical.
Not more, not less, just like what was learned from a textbook.
Exactly right!
Something fishy.
"What did you find?"
When Julius Reed asked the question, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
"Last night, I dug up Quella Radcliffe’s grave. It was completely empty, not even an urn inside!"
Red Widow stated indifferently, "There was absolutely nothing inside, not a case of something being stolen later."
She opened up the grave site and inspected it carefully.
There were no objects inside, not even a trace that anything had ever been there.
Very clean.
An empty grave.
"Conclusion!"
Julius Reed felt disturbed.
Yes, how had he never considered Quella Radcliffe’s matter during his three years with the Radcliffe Family?
On the tombstone, there was only a name.
Not even a photo!
It seemed as if all news had been arranged in advance.
"Quella Radcliffe is not dead," declared Red Widow in a breathtaking manner, "Moreover, the Radcliffe Family has a big secret!"
Buzz!
Julius Reed’s brain throbbed painfully!
He had never imagined that the Radcliffe Family could have such strange affairs.
"We must investigate thoroughly! I don’t want your guesses, I want facts!"
"Okay, I still need some time."
Red Widow paused for a moment, then spoke to comfort him, "Take care of yourself."
"You too."
After Julius Reed hung up the phone, he took a deep breath.
Leaning against a tree by the roadside, he looked up at the sky.
Interesting.
Was he now a player or merely a pawn?
If it really was so.
Then he would smash this game.
From Moonshadow Hotel to the Carmichael mansion.
The distance was great.
Julius Reed hailed a taxi directly.
Half an hour later, he returned to the Carmichael home.
When he pushed open the villa door, his brows furrowed again.
Inside, five women were chatting joyously.
Previously somewhat absentminded, Lily Jorden was now cheerfully playing games with Quella and the others.
There was not a hint of sadness to be seen.
Even Itai Huntington, who had just been through a kidnapping, now had flushed cheeks and was chatting happily with Nelson.
Bamboo Whitaker sat alone on the sofa, watching a cartoon.
Completely harmonious.
"Phew!"
Julius Reed breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the women hadn’t started fighting.
"Husband, you’re back?"
Quella Radcliffe dropped her playing cards and quickly came over upon seeing Julius Reed.
Following behind her, Lily Jorden stood up with a look of apology and hung her head.
This stark contrast in attitudes caught Julius Reed somewhat off guard.
Wasn’t Lily supposed to be stirring up trouble and trying to kill him?
"Twelve, come over here!"
Quella Radcliffe pulled his arm, walking him over to Lily Jorden, "Ms. Jorden realizes she misunderstood you and wants to apologize."
"What!"
Julius Reed found it hard to believe, "She... apologizing to me? I’m already grateful she doesn’t kill me! An apology? I can’t handle it!"
"You..."
Lily Jorden burst into tears.
"Julius Reed!"
Quella Radcliffe scolded, "The young lady is taking the initiative to apologize, and here you are making a scene! Say, washboard or cactus!"
"Uh..."
Julius Reed raised an eyebrow, looking at Lily Jorden, "I forgive you."
"Mr. Reed, are you still under the thumb of your wife?"
Nelson chuckled from the side.
"Get lost!"
Julius Reed glanced around, spotting an apple on the table.
"Lily Jorden, I’ll peel an apple for you, and we’ll call it even!"
After saying this, he picked up the apple and pulled out the dagger from Isabella Warm.
The moment he saw the dagger,
Itai Huntington’s face on the sofa changed dramatically!
