Chapter 276 - 275 Theon Falls Rescue_1

Julius Reed had just picked up his soup when he nearly choked.

His comments before were just to annoy Anna Harris, who was, after all, Quella Radcliffe’s best friend. He wouldn’t let anything happen to her.

“Young Master Leopold, she’s my wife’s best friend. Although she tends to be a bit sharp-tongued, she’s really a good person. They say beauty is a curse, but just look at her—she clearly looks like a nice person!”

Julius Reed picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, then gestured toward a chair, “Today’s meal is on me, consider it my way of apologizing to her!”

“Who are you calling ugly?!”

Today, Anna Harris was beyond upset, she had lost all appetite.

But she was very clear that by doing so, Julius Reed was risking offending the Leopold Family to get her out of trouble.

How was this the same man Quella Radcliffe talked about as her husband?

He wasn’t the least bit humble!

“This…”

Brayden Leopold’s eyes quickly shifted, immediately understanding what was going on, but he couldn’t let anyone see through him, especially not in front of so many people.

Julius Reed was the sworn enemy of the Leopold Family, everyone wanted to get rid of him! If anyone found out about a private agreement between Brayden and Julius, Brayden might very well be driven out by the furious members of his family!

“Ha! You think you can send me off with just a meal?”

Brayden Leopold scoffed coldly, his gaze fixed on Julius Reed, “You’re seriously underestimating me!”

After saying those words, Anna Harris internally panicked. Interceding for Joel Martin was merely for the sake of their school days’ friendship.

But what about Julius Reed?

Joel Martin had used his connections to teach Julius Reed a lesson, and if Julius got dragged into this again because of it, Anna would regret it deeply.

“Young Master Leopold, one should be responsible for one’s actions! I spoke those words; it has nothing to do with him!”

She didn’t want to get her best friend’s husband involved.

“This is out of your hands now! Lately, there have been rumors in Five-river Province saying that the Leopold Family is in decline. It seems you all are really asking for trouble, and if I don’t assert authority now, anyone will dare to speak ill of my family’s affairs!”

Brayden Leopold looked up, his tone unusually cold.

“Great, now I’ve dragged myself into this mess too. Are you happy now?”

Julius Reed shrugged his shoulders, looking towards Heather Gonzalez.

“Ah!”

Heather Gonzalez frowned, unsure what to do at the moment.

She also cursed Joel Martin in her heart—who would offend the Leopold Family of all people!

“Why don’t you try appealing to him?”

It was then that Julius Reed turned to Elize Yarrow sitting nearby.

“Beg me for help! If you do, I’ll help you out!”

Elize Yarrow, of course, knew Julius Reed’s capabilities; dealing with the Leopold Family was a walk in the park for him.

At the entertainment city, Julius Reed had directly crippled Atlas Leopold and now was living just fine.

What did that tell you?

The Leopold Family couldn’t touch Julius Reed!

However, since she had to play along, she might as well set some terms.

“Sleep in my room tonight?”

She sat beside Julius Reed, her eyes filled with affection.

This scene made Brayden Leopold somewhat uncomfortable; his brother was still one of the top four elites, after all. Even though he had chosen to marry her for the sake of the Yarrow Family’s heirloom, this woman was a bit too…

He couldn’t help but feel sorry for Atlas Leopold.

Anna Harris was even more disgusted, finding it repulsive!

She decided, no matter what, to tell Quella Radcliffe about this!

Let her best friend make plans early!

“Get lost! Don’t disgust me here!”

Julius Reed rejected her mercilessly.

The two of them blatantly flirting like this caused Heather Gonzalez and Anna Harris to break out in a cold sweat.

Weren’t they slapping the face of the Leopold Family?

If Brayden Leopold were provoked, no one would end up with a good outcome.

“Look, don’t stoop to arguing with women; all this was stirred up by this guy named Joel Martin, oh! And that woman!”

Elize Yarrow pointed seriously at Isandro Jackson: “It was just the two of them who instigated this. Just deal with those two, and do not harm the innocent.”

If someone didn’t know better, they’d think Elize Yarrow was Young Master Leopold’s wife.

But in fact, the two had effectively called off their engagement.

Elize Yarrow had nothing to do with the Leopold Family anymore.

After she finished speaking, Anna Harris and Heather Gonzalez carefully watched Brayden Leopold’s reaction, eager to see how Young Master Leopold would respond.

After all, Julius Reed had just been seen getting very close to Elize Yarrow, practically in front of them.

Contrary to the women’s expectations, Brayden Leopold acted as if he didn’t see a thing: “Since my sister-in-law has spoken, I must show some respect! Stop your hands!”

Once Brayden Leopold spoke, the bodyguards immediately stopped and took the towel out of Joel Martin’s mouth.

By then, Joel Martin was trembling all over from the pain, his eyes slightly unfocused.

“You! Go slap that woman a few times!”

Brayden Leopold pointed at Isandro Jackson.

“Young Master Leopold, please! I beg you!”

Realizing her situation, Isandro Jackson understood exactly what was happening.

She now loathed Joel Martin. If he hadn’t bragged about being the number one playboy in Five-river Province, she never would have dared to curse Brayden Leopold like that!

And now, she was implicated as well.

Conversely, Anna Harris and Heather Gonzalez looked completely surprised.

They couldn’t understand why Brayden Leopold was giving Elize Yarrow so much face, to the point that even when Elize Yarrow spoke provocatively to Julius Reed, Brayden Leopold remained unmoved, as though he heard nothing.

But little did they know, Brayden Leopold would be delighted if Elize Yarrow engaged in any mischief, as it could tarnish Atlas Leopold’s reputation.

After all, Atlas Leopold was his rival, and Elize Yarrow was his fiancée in name only. Brayden Leopold was sure to support anything that might disadvantage Atlas Leopold.

“Madam Leopold, if you could forget my minor offences and let me go just this once! I won’t dare to do it again! I beg of you!”

Isandro Jackson no longer had her previous arrogance, and now knelt in front of Elize Yarrow, pleading desperately.

At this moment, she even forgot about the scars on her face and completely cast aside her dignity.

In the territory of Five-river Province, even if her family was rich, it was not on par with here.

“You wretch!”

Just then, Joel Martin, like a madman, rushed over and grabbed Isandro Jackson by the hair.

Slap! Slap!

He gave her two solid slaps with all his might!

If it weren’t for Isandro Jackson’s defiance towards Brayden Leopold, he wouldn’t be in such a sorry state!

“Calvin Leopold, you hit me…”

Isandro Jackson’s mouth was bleeding, her eyes filled with terror.

She seemed unable to believe that Joel Martin would really hit someone, and hit so hard at that!

“Stop!”

Just then, a group of people burst in from outside, in great haste.

Following behind them were several people supporting Mr. Donkey, who could no longer stand.

“Piran Wilson!”

Seeing the arrivals, Joel Martin, like clinging to a lifesaver, frantically crawled to Theon Falls: “Piran Wilson! Avenge me! Where’s my uncle? Where’s my uncle?”

Theon Falls held significant sway in Golden Eagle Group, and his arrival gave Joel Martin hope.

“How did this happen!”

When Theon Falls saw Joel Martin battered and bruised, he was shocked.

This was Five-river Province; who would dare to treat Stanislaus Potter’s nephew like this?

If Mr. Donkey hadn’t been out of touch for half a day, he wouldn’t have come with his men.

“Who did this!”

Theon Falls clenched his fists, his tone unnervingly cold!
