Chapter 990: Chapter 990 Problems with the Radcliffe Family
Under the night sky.
The Mercedes-Benz cruised at a steady pace.
At the traffic light junction, Julius Reed purposely wound down the window, pretending to get some air.
In reality, he was feigning nonchalance while exposing the fact that he was still in the car.
Behind them, a vehicle was following.
Upon seeing Julius Reed in the car, the man inside quickly took out his phone and started reporting the situation.
"Aron Jackson, guess what the people from The North Sea are planning to do next."
Julius Reed rolled up the window and asked with a smile.
"They might make a big move involving Quella Radcliffe."
Aron Jackson sat in the passenger seat, his expression far from as relaxed as Julius Reed’s.
Right now, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy!
The small Gonzalez City was attracting too many powers.
Thunderpeak Hall alone was enough to give Aron Jackson a headache. Now, the involvement of the mysterious alliance from The North Sea made this boss of Gonzalez City feel exhausted.
If he knew that Rogan Harsh had already arrived in Gonzalez City and that Nathanael Warm was on his way with sword in hand.
It was hard to say how Aron Jackson would feel.
"Big brother, are you truly at ease with Anna Harris hiding by your wife’s side?"
Ever since learning that Anna Harris was problematic, Aron Jackson had been extremely anxious.
It was like a ticking time bomb, ready to go off at any moment.
Too dangerous!
"The safest place is right by Anna Harris’s side."
Julius Reed, on the contrary, seemed unbothered, "If she is indeed The North Sea princess, then The North Sea will surely exert all their efforts to keep Anna Harris safe. If Anna Harris is safe, would Quella Radcliffe be in trouble?"
"But..."
"You just need to deliver a message to The North Sea."
Julius Reed interrupted Aron Jackson’s doubts, "Tell the young master that Quella Radcliffe knows the secret of the Divine Dragon Tripod."
"That would be dooming her!"
Aron Jackson exclaimed in shock, "No way! If we do that, they’d certainly capture her and torture her for information! Wouldn’t that be pushing her into a pit of fire?"
After speaking, he fiercely turned around, frowning slightly and said, "Big brother, do you have someone else on the side?"
"What do you mean?"
Julius Reed was confused by the question.
"Having lost your wife at middle-age, do you have another woman outside? Are you in such a hurry to get rid of your sister-in-law?"
Aron Jackson’s throat moved as he tried to persuade, "Big brother, one mustn’t be too..."
Smack!
Before he could finish, he got slapped on the head.
"What rubbish are you thinking! Using Anna Harris, or rather Baylor Davenport’s understanding of Quella Radcliffe, the dumbest method would be torture! Quella Radcliffe is stubborn by nature; even in death, she wouldn’t reveal a single secret. Baylor Davenport is well aware of this, so she will only seek to gain Quella Radcliffe’s trust and ensure her safety."
Julius Reed yawned, leaning his head on the rear seat, "Relax, they won’t make a move on the Divine Dragon Tripod, not daring to act rashly without it."
"Brilliant!"
Aron Jackson gave a thumbs up and laughed awkwardly, "I knew it, big brother is a man of deep affection and loyalty."
"You really know how to flatter."
Lillian Tompson let out a small snort and said, "You remind me of someone I once knew."
"And this is..."
Aron Jackson, looking at Lillian Tompson and raising his eyebrows, asked, "Big brother, you haven’t introduced her yet."
From getting into the car until now, he had not figured out who Lillian Tompson was.
But seeing her style and aura, she had much more presence than Itai Huntington.
Could it be that during the trip to Capital City, his big brother had charmed some rich girl?
This damn charisma.
He took another look at her.
Lillian Tompson touched up her red lipstick; she appeared to be only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
With fashionable attire, she was definitely an executive-level woman.
An upgraded version of Itai Huntington.
Less of the worldly air, but with a lot more elegance.
"She’s my servant."
Julius Reed said indifferently.
"What?"
Aron Jackson nearly dropped his jaw in shock.
But seeing Lillian Tompson’s infinitely respectful demeanor, his heart truly couldn’t calm down for a long while.
To compare oneself with others is to invite frustration.
To compare goods, one must throw them away.
"Er... this..."
"Just call me Lillian Tompson."
Lillian Tompson spoke softly.
In front of Julius Reed, she was a common maid, a servant.
But away from Demarco Mount, Lillian Tompson was a queen.
Whether it was the way she operated or the aura in her conversation, 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
she was always sharp and revealing.
Making others dare not have any other thoughts.
"Miss Tompson."
Aron Jackson thought for a long time and finally came up with this term.
"Miss Tompson, the friend you mentioned is..."
"Isabella Warm, my sister. She’s just like you, a sycophant. Not much skill, but quite the talker."
Lillian Tompson answered coldly.
"Enough!"
Brought up Isabella Warm, Julius Reed interrupted impatiently, "We must focus on serious matters!"
"Yes, Sovereign."
Lillian Tompson bent over respectfully, like a little girl who had done something wrong.
"Stop the car!"
When the car arrived at a deserted road, Julius Reed quickly got out.
He disappeared into the streets.
The car continued on.
Several cars that were following arrived too late on the street.
After all the vehicles had left, Julius Reed walked to an abandoned old building.
"Come out!"
He stood with his hands clasped behind his back and spoke in a low voice.
"Recently, Gonzalez City is full of masters, so I dare not show myself easily."
The Red Widow walked out of the darkness, kneeling respectfully on the ground, "The matter you asked me to investigate, I have mostly clarified. But the sudden appearance of Otis Radcliffe and Burl Radcliffe has been somewhat unexpected."
"Stand up, between you and me, we are friends."
Julius Reed chuckled lightly, "No need for that. Strictly speaking, I saved your life, and you work for me; we are even."
"I wouldn’t have guessed you had such a gentle side."
The Red Widow stood up and walked beside Julius Reed, "There’s definitely something off with the Radcliffe Family. I can say with certainty that Quella Radcliffe is not Knox Ridge’s daughter. I got hair samples from both of them and did a DNA comparison."
"Say that again!"
Julius Reed who had just been smiling, became a bit agitated upon hearing Quella Radcliffe’s name.
"You should be prepared, Knox Ridge and Quella Radcliffe have no blood relation."
The Red Widow spoke in a low voice, handing over a stack of documents, "To prevent discovery, I flew to a neighboring province for the tests, and it wasn’t just one hospital, but the results were the same."
Looking at each report in his hand, Julius Reed’s brows drew tightly together.
"There’s a problem with Quella Radcliffe?"
He couldn’t accept it.
Difficulty accepting...
"No! Quella Radcliffe and Burl Radcliffe share a blood relation. This means that Knox Ridge is not Quella Radcliffe’s birth mother, but she is Burl Radcliffe’s biological daughter."
The Red Widow pointed to the stack of reports, speaking with a soft laugh, "You don’t need to worry, Quella Radcliffe’s background is clean, without any issues. But, the Radcliffe Family, there’s a big problem."
"How could this be!"
Looking at the reports below, Julius Reed’s frown grew deeper!
"Yes, according to my investigation, the men of the Radcliffe Family indeed share a blood relation with Burl Radcliffe. But Zade Radcliffe and they are not father and son at all! In other words, there’s a problem with Zade Radcliffe! And also his wife, who is said to be Quella Radcliffe’s grandmother in the Radcliffe Family, no one has seen her!"
The Red Widow spoke with a dramatic flair, "Everything people know about Quella Radcliffe’s grandmother comes from the very same words, and these words come straight from the mouth of Zade Radcliffe. I checked at the civil affairs office, the person Zade Radcliffe registered for marriage with is called Devin Ridge. But Devin Ridge has been dead for many years, and it was three years after her death that Burl Radcliffe was born."
