Those who had been waiting at the door to watch the spectacle, including Otis Radcliffe and others, found it somewhat inconceivable when they saw Julius Reed dragging Quella Radcliffe out.

Silas Cook had been inside for so long, how could these two be completely unscathed?

Moreover, within such a short period, a tremendous number of people had poured into the private room.

They did want to go in to take a look.

But the menacing men in black at the door made them keep their distance.

“Brother-in-law, what happened?”

Wellington Radcliffe was somewhat puzzled.

Logically, if Silas Cook personally made a move, Julius Reed should have been beaten black and blue, even if he wasn’t crippled.

But no matter how they looked, they only saw smiles on the young couple’s faces.

There wasn’t a trace of aggrievement!

What they didn’t know was that the person who had been carried out covered in blood was Silas Cook.

He was just too badly injured and concealed by clothing, which was why Wellington Radcliffe and the others didn’t recognize him.

“I’ll ask Brother Three!”

Calvin Leopold hesitated, then took out his phone to call Silas Cook.

But there was no answer on the other end of the line.

“No answer, Brother Three must be busy, I guess!”

He frowned tightly, feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Half an hour had passed since he went in, and what happened during that time piqued their curiosity.

“Quella Radcliffe, are you alright?”

Tess Radcliffe moved closer to ask.

She looked carefully but could not detect the slightest hint of panic on their faces.

Was there even a touch of happiness?

“Do you hope something happened to us?”

Julius Reed scoffed, then turned to Otis Radcliffe, “President Radcliffe, remember to pay up.”

This meal was originally proposed by Zade Radcliffe, and it had been declared beforehand that the company would shoulder the expenses.

Although they barely had a few bites before encountering these issues, the dishes were ultimately served.

“This…

Otis Radcliffe stood still, his complexion flickering.

The shoddy trick was his doing, and he had sworn to Zade Radcliffe that Azure Percival would definitely not have seats available, which is why Zade had agreed.

Although it was the company’s rule to pay for this expense, the Radcliffe Group had never dined at such a lavish place in all these years.

This time it was to trick Quella Radcliffe that they made such a promise.

Now, with so many people having gone in, the cost was estimated to be several hundred thousand.

The thought of this made Otis Radcliffe feel stifled in his chest.

He could almost imagine Zade Radcliffe’s thunderous fury and once again cursed Julius Reed many times over in his heart.

Defaulting on the payment was out of the question; the company’s payment had been informed to every employee in advance.

Otis Radcliffe’s original intent was to kill two birds with one stone, to enrage public sentiment against Quella Radcliffe and to win people’s hearts. But, after playing with eagles for years, he finally had his eyes pecked out by one.

“What about them?”

Otis Radcliffe looked towards the private room, where the Radcliffe Clan members hadn’t come out yet.

“They might be dining. Quella Radcliffe and I have some matters to attend to, we’ll be leaving first.”

Julius Reed took Quella Radcliffe’s hand and walked towards the hotel entrance. “Disgusting couple, one day I’ll make your lives worse than death!”

Otis Radcliffe silently cursed in his heart; today’s incident would definitely incur Zade Radcliffe’s wrath upon him.

“Mr. Reed!”

Just then, Ludo Cook hurried out.

“Oh, if it isn’t Boss Cook, what is it?”

Hearing the call, Julius Reed turned to see Ludo Cook approaching with a quick pace.

This man might be Ovidiu Cook’s brother, but he knew nothing about the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance affairs.

“Mr. Reed, today’s meal, consider it my treat. It’s on the house!”

In Ludo Cook’s view, someone who could make Aron Jackson not hesitate to fall out with the Brandon Family must be extraordinary!

So he decided to curry favor with Julius Reed by waiving the bill for the meal, which was worth millions.

“Really?”

Otis Radcliffe’s eyes widened, instantly delighted.

If Azure Percival really got his meal on the house, he would save himself from explaining it to his grandfather, not to mention avoiding a tongue-lashing.

“Of course! Mr. Reed is our honored guest. From now on, you just come by, and I, Cook, won’t charge you a penny!”

Ludo Cook patted his chest and laughed heartily.

Money wasn’t much of a concern to him; connections were key!

He had been able to hold his ground in Gonzalez City for so many years, not because of his wealthy elder brother, but because of the network of relationships he had built over the years there.

“Thank you so much!”

Otis Radcliffe hurriedly walked over, reaching out to shake Ludo Cook’s hand: “I am the general manager of the Radcliffe Group. If there’s anything the boss needs help with in the future, just feel free to contact me!”

“Alright!”

Ludo Cook smiled perfunctorily, his attention all focused on Julius Reed.

Otis Radcliffe was dizzy with this sudden stroke of luck, but Calvin Leopold was not.

He stood aside, quickly pondering the situation.

Julius Reed was just a son-in-law who had married into the family. What qualifications did he have to get Ludo Cook to waive the bill?

One should know that even Zade Radcliffe, the chairman of the Radcliffe Group, didn’t have that kind of clout!

In the upper echelons, such favors were only bestowed upon those who were more powerful than oneself.

The more Calvin Leopold thought about it, the more he felt something was off.

“Boss Cook, you must have decided to do this out of respect for my father. On behalf of my father, I thank you for your kindness!”

Tess Radcliffe, hearing about Azure Percival’s comped meal, instantly became incredibly smug.

She was well aware of Julius Reed’s abilities—a mere good-for-nothing. So after thinking it over, she could only think of Zade Radcliffe.

“The bill should reflect the correct amount, Boss Cook is also a businessman.”

Seeing the members of the Radcliffe Family practically ecstatic, Julius Reed responded with a smile.

As soon as he had uttered these words, everyone’s expressions changed.

“Julius Reed! Shut your mouth! Do you really think you’re somebody? Let me tell you, if it weren’t for the old man, nobody would even recognize you!” Tess Radcliffe was the first to speak up, not bothering to hide the disdain in her eyes.

“Exactly, get lost! We’re talking to Boss Cook; what does this have to do with you!”

Otis Radcliffe’s heart sank, and his tone was equally unpleasant.

If he could get the meal comped, it would benefit him greatly.

If not, he feared his grandfather would curse him to high heaven.

“Actually, Boss Cook was here to talk to Julius. Instead, it seems you’re imposing on him, aren’t you?”

Quella Radcliffe turned around, facing her sister squarely.

From this day forward, she would not allow anyone to bully her husband.

“Enough with the noise! Waiter, come and get their bill! If they don’t pay up, they’re not leaving!”

Ludo Cook waved his hand, and nearly ten security guards immediately surrounded the area.

Doing business to this extent, he naturally had a shrewd mind.

Seeing everyone’s attitudes just before, Ludo Cook had a pretty good guess in his mind.

Since that gentleman wanted to make things difficult for his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Ludo Cook was certainly happy to oblige.

“Boss, the total is one million two hundred and sixty-eight thousand seven hundred and forty-three yuan.” The waiter quickly came over with the bill.

“What! Over a million!”

Otis Radcliffe exclaimed.

“Are you robbing us? What did we order!”

A meal costing several hundred thousand was outrageous enough, over a million was truly shocking to him.

“Sir, if you can’t afford it, you shouldn’t come! Azure Percival has been in business for over a decade, always operating honestly! Now you dare to slander us! ”

Ludo Cook’s face darkened, and he waved his hand: “Show him the bill! And all those smashed bottles and jars, add those to the bill as well!” The waiter nodded, typing rapidly on the calculator.

“Sir, the total is one million three hundred and forty-seven thousand nine hundred and forty-four yuan.”

After including the cost of the broken drinks, the waiter handed over the detailed bill.

“Well then, we’ll be going now, see you!”

Julius Reed waved his hand, pulling Quella Radcliffe and walking out of Azure Percival.

“Mr. Reed, please take care! Let me escort you out personally!”

Ludo Cook hurriedly descended the stairs, and as he passed by Otis Radcliffe, he said menacingly, “If you don’t come up with the money in three hours, you’ll be responsible for the consequences! ”

“Julius Reed!”

With gritted teeth, Otis Radcliffe took out his mobile phone, trembling as he dialed Zade Radcliffe’s number..
