The matter of the last separation had escalated to the point where both parties were at each other’s throats.
Julius Reed directly took Quella Radcliffe away, marking a complete breakdown of their relationship with the Radcliffe family.
But he hadn’t expected that Burl Radcliffe and his wife would actually find their way here.
Actually, the elderly couple hadn’t planned on coming, as after their estrangement, Knox Ridge had intended to let them endure some hardship before, eventually, persuading Quella Radcliffe to divorce.
But who knew that after leaving, her obedient daughter wouldn’t even make a single phone call.
Thus, Knox Ridge waited, waited for the day Quella Radcliffe would bow her head and yield.
The elderly couple had no shares in the company, and after the conflict between Julius Reed and Otis Radcliffe escalated, they had even taken leave to stay at home, avoiding the trouble that might affect them due to their connection to the family.
Therefore, they had no knowledge of the recent events at the Radcliffe Group.
It just so happened that last night, a friend from their mahjong table talked about Quella Radcliffe during a casual conversation.
This mahjong friend happened to live in the same neighborhood as Quella Radcliffe, though he resided in a regular residential building, whilst Quella Radcliffe lived in an independent mansion.
The price difference between the two homes was more than tenfold!
Upon hearing this news, Knox Ridge rushed here with Zade Radcliffe, waiting at the entrance of the community for Quella Radcliffe.
In truth, Quella Radcliffe didn’t want to bring her parents up, because the house was bought by Julius Reed; between her husband and her parents lay an irreconcilable conflict.
But now in a dangerous situation, Quella Radcliffe decided on her own to bring the elderly couple up.
“Julius, I’m sorry…”
Thinking of her parents’ conduct, Quella Radcliffe felt a pang of guilt. “It’s okay! As long as you are safe, I’m going to get some sleep.”
Julius Reed gave a faint smile and turned to go back to his own room.
“Stop right there!”
But at that moment, Knox Ridge spoke up.
She stood up, striding over to Julius Reed with an aggressive stance, hands on hips, she said, “Julius Reed, are you blind? Seeing me and your father here, can’t you even greet us?”
In her mind, Quella Radcliffe had always been a compliant daughter, obeying everything her mother said.
But ever since some time ago, Quella Radcliffe had stopped listening. She believed it was all Julius Reed’s doing, creating a rift between mother and daughter.
Now facing Julius Reed, she let all her pent-up anger out.
“Mom! You…
Sensing Knox Ridge was starting to make a scene, Quella Radcliffe quickly came over to pull her back.
“Shut up! Have things really come to this? Quella Radcliffe, are you now so emboldened that you don’t listen to me anymore?”
Knox Ridge shoved Quella Radcliffe aside and pointed straight at Julius Reed’s nose, scolding, “You disrespectful brat, you’ve really turned against us!”
“I have other matters, you deal with them.”
Julius Reed glanced at Quella Radcliffe and headed toward his room.
If it were anyone else daring to point their finger at the nose of the Young Master of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, they probably would’ve been dead by now.
But this was Quella Radcliffe’s parents, and for her, he had to bear it.
“Where are you going! Your father and I have already settled in there! You can sleep on the sofa!”
Knox Ridge blocked Julius Reed’s path and snorted coldly, “You think you’re fit to live in such a nice house? It’s already generous not to kick you out right away. Go make dinner now! Your father and I are hungry.”
Hearing that her daughter was living in such a nice place, she and Burl Radcliffe had packed their luggage and clothes to come here.
Moreover, before leaving, she had already arranged with an agent to put her own house up for sale.
Why live in a great house if not, stupid?
“Mom!”
Quella Radcliffe couldn’t stand it any longer, but she couldn’t tell Knox Ridge the truth.
Everything in front of them, all the money came from Julius Reed, and the house was solely arranged by Julius Reed!
What right did they have to kick him out?
Ignoring Knox Ridge’s ranting, Julius Reed twisted the doorknob, only to find the room had completely changed.
Some shabby paintings were hung on the wall, and the original contents of the room were scattered on the floor.
One could tell at a glance that the paintings were forgeries, only someone pretentious like Burl Radcliffe would do such a thing.
And not just that, even the window sills were filled with Knox Ridge’s favorite plants, clearly, the elderly couple had made this place their own.
“I’m going upstairs!”
Not wanting to argue with the old couple, Julius Reed strode towards the upstairs.
This western-style house had three floors, with the living room and kitchen on the first floor, their bedroom on the second, but on the top floor there was another room and a swimming pool.
“You can’t go up to the top floor either!”
Knox Ridge coldly sneered from behind, “My eldest sister is coming to bring her kid here for school soon. I’ve already arranged for them to have that room.”
“Since when? How come I don’t know anything about it!”
Quella Radcliffe looked completely bewildered.
As the mistress of the house, Knox Ridge hadn’t even discussed it with her before taking it upon herself to arrange the room for others.
“Just before you arrived, your aunt gave me a call. You know they live far from Gonzalez City, and her child is just starting freshman year at college. Since we have so many rooms at home, I simply arranged it.”
Knox Ridge lifted her head with the look of a shrew.
“No! Call your aunt now and tell her there are no rooms available!”
Quella Radcliffe took out her phone and handed it to Knox Ridge.
She had previously been sleeping separately from Julius Reed, each having their own room.
Now, they could sleep together, but that wasn’t the point.
As the head of the house, Julius Reed was expected to sleep on the sofa—how absurd!
“You little bastard, you dare raise your temper at me! How dare you speak to me like that!”
Seeing Quella Radcliffe about to call her sister, Knox Ridge was seething with anger! How could she, someone who cared so much about face, agree to such a thing!
“I don’t care, nobody else is moving in today!” Quella Radcliffe stood her ground firmly.
“You!”
Knox Ridge was so angry she was practically gasping for breath, and she reached out to slap Quella Radcliffe.
“Stop!”
Julius Reed frowned and grabbed Knox Ridge’s hand.
He could tolerate a little harsh treatment towards himself, but not towards Quella Radcliffe—no way! “If you keep this up, get out of here!”
“You! You’re asking for it!”
Knox Ridge raised her other hand, aiming it at Julius Reed.
Slap!
A crisp slap echoed, silencing the room instantly,
Touching her face, Knox Ridge looked at the unfamiliar face before her and roared, “You dare hit me!”
It was someone from Willson Pavilion.
In the eyes of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, the Young Master was a godlike figure, not to be disrespected!
Yet this shrew before them was actually attempting to hit someone! “Today, I’m going to tear you apart!”
When she moved into the new house, she had seen these five people, and judging by their attitude towards Quella Radcliffe, Knox Ridge had subconsciously assumed they were bodyguards.
But now, to think her own bodyguards would dare to make a move, her fury was imaginable.
“Which bodyguard company are you from? I’m going to file a complaint! Wait and see, you’ll be jobless and packing your bags home!”
Burl Radcliffe saw his wife getting slapped and picked up an ashtray from the table to join in.
“Damn peons, do you have a death wish!”
Bang!
But before he could make a move, a Willson Pavilion disciple kicked Burl Radcliffe, sending him tumbling to the ground.
Slap!
Then, the disciple backhanded Knox Ridge across the face again.
“If you dare to disrespect the Young Master again, I’ll make you disappear from this world!”
