Chapter 138 - 137: Fell into Our Hands (Part 1)

Translator: 549690339

Hearing Elize Yarrow’s cry, Julius Reed was dumbstruck.

He had asked Elize Yarrow to shout something similar to “indecent assault” so that people outside would think he was forcing her.

But now the tables had turned.

Far from whitewashing Elize Yarrow, he had only smeared her reputation further.

Now, not only the Leopold family but also the Yarrow family probably wanted to kill him!

“What, weren’t you the one who asked me to shout?”

Elize Yarrow blinked, thinking she hadn’t performed well enough.

After a moment of silence, she reached out her hand and hooked it under Julius Reed’s chin, “My lord, do you like it?”

Standing at the door, Grant Yarrow felt a tightness in his chest and nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

And right beside him, Isidore Leopold’s face was dark with anger, wishing he could kill someone on the spot!

“Mr. Yarrow! You really raised a fine daughter!”

Leaving these words behind, Isidore Leopold scoffed and turned to leave.

The Leopold family was a prominent clan, and such a scandal could not be allowed to escalate; it had to be dealt with internally.

If it weren’t for the need to obtain that item from the Yarrow family, Isidore Leopold would’ve long used every means necessary to crush the Yarrow family and relieve the hatred in his heart.

“Brother Leopold, I failed in teaching my daughter! Please listen to my explanation, listen to me…”

Grant Yarrow’s expression was one of panic, as he no longer knew what to do.

After everyone had left, Miguel Abbott returned to the room and said to Julius

Reed, “Knowing Isidore Leopold as I do, you’re likely in big trouble.”

Being top figures of the Five-river Province themselves, they understood each other’s character quite well.

If someone like Isidore Leopold blew up or cursed on the spot, it was quite possible that the matter would end there.

But if he kept silent, the issue was definitely going to blow up.

“What a mess!”

Julius Reed looked at Elize Yarrow and couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

He had originally wanted to disassociate himself from this woman, but now, instead, they were both caught in the same predicament.

If Julius Reed did not look after Elize Yarrow now,

it was very likely that the next day, she would fall into the hands of Atlas Leopold, and then she would truly not be able to live nor die.

“Who are you calling a nuisance?”

Elize Yarrow obviously didn’t realize the seriousness of the situation, and although she was a bit scared inside, she naively thought it was just a punishment within the family.

Like being grounded, not being allowed to leave her room.

But with the Leopold family’s current state of embarrassed fury, how could Elize Yarrow expect a good outcome?

“Fine! I wasn’t talking about you!”

Looking at the naive young girl in front of him, Julius Reed was both frustrated and amused.

He had only wanted to antagonize Atlas Leopold at the time, but little did he know that he’d end up with a huge problem on his hands.

“Tch! How was my acting just now? If this were a movie, I might have won an

Oscar statuette!”

Elize Yarrow hadn’t realized the predicament she was in and was still joking carelessly.

“Don’t even mention an Oscar statuette, let alone a small copper one; you wouldn’t be able to win one! Even if you really won one, it’d be plastic!” Julius Reed replied irritably.

He had lived for so many years, considering himself to be unperturbed by the waves of life, but today he still found himself provoked.

“Tch! How was my acting just now? If this were a movie, I might have

Oscar statuette!”

Elize Yarrow straightened her clothes, utterly self-absorbed.

“Sorry! I’m already married! And my wife is more beautiful than you, and a better person overall! You could say she totally eclipses you in every respect!”

Julius Reed didn’t bother with Elize Yarrow, his thoughts instead drifting to Quella Radcliffe.

This was their first day apart, and he still couldn’t quite let go of his concerns.

Even though Cosmo sent him a message every half hour, Julius Reed still felt a bit worried.

“Stop bragging! Someone like you still dares to look down on me! I bet you’re still a single dog!”

Elize Yarrow recovered her unruly temperament and started her heedless mockery of Julius Reed once again.

In her view, although Julius Reed had some abilities,

she knew every somewhat famous scion in Five-river Province; obviously, Julius Reed wasn’t one of them.

Such a guy, although not bad, to say that he had found a wife way better than himself was simply unrealistic.

Among women, Elize Yarrow was considered exceptionally beautiful.

Moreover, because she was born into a well-off family, she dressed up in a way even more charming than other women.

From primary school to university graduation, almost every year, there would be people fighting over her with jealousy, ending up with battered faces and bloody heads.

For such an excellent girl to be belittled to nothing was naturally upsetting.

“Ding! ”

Just then, Julius Reed’s WeChat suddenly rang with an incoming message.

“It’s a video call from Quella Radcliffe.”

Seeing the caller’s ID, a smile appeared on his face.

Indeed, it was a telepathic connection; he was just thinking about it, and there the video call came.

“Hello!”

Upon answering the call, Quella Radcliffe, with a facial mask on, greeted Julius

Reed.

“Doing okay?”

Seeing Quella Radcliffe safe and sound brought a happy smile to Julius Reed’s face.

For some reason, Quella Radcliffe held a very important place in his heart.

In fact, he hadn’t met a second one like her in his life.

“Where are you?

Looking at the location behind Julius Reed, Quella Radcliffe asked, “It’s so late, go rest! I have Cosmo sticking close by, and those four are guarding the door, nothing will happen.”

After speaking, she turned the video around to show Cosmo lying next to her.

Cosmo was asleep at that moment, but the moment the camera focused on her, Cosmo’s eyes suddenly opened!

“Master! I’m angry! You went to Five-river Province alone, not even thinking of taking me along!”

“Alright, alright! Once I’m done here, I’ll take you along next time!”

Seeing that Cosmo could sleep next to Quella Radcliffe, Julius Reed felt an inexplicable envy.

He had been married for over three years, and it seemed he hadn’t received such treatment.

“If there’s nothing else, you go ahead and get busy!”

Quella Radcliffe peeled off the facial mask, revealing her delicate face beneath.

“Oh my god!”

Elize Yarrow, who had been sneaking peeks, couldn’t help but exclaim.

The two women on the screen, no matter which one, were indescribably beautiful.

She thought she was quite pretty, but compared to the women in the video, she still fell short.

“Who’s that!”

The sharp Cosmo immediately asked upon hearing the sound!

“Yo! Who are these two ladies, dear? You’re so naughty!” Elize Yarrow sneered and leaned against Julius Reed.

She thought, let’s see how you explain this after belittling me!

Expecting the two women in the camera would be instantly surprised, Quella Radcliffe and Cosmo just glanced and casually asked, “Where did this lunatic come from?”

“You!”

Elize Yarrow almost passed out from anger.

“This is a mess I’ve gotten into! To humiliate Atlas Leopold, I borrowed his fiancée for a bit! But who knew it’d backfire on me, so annoying!”

Julius Reed didn’t hesitate to chat with Quella Radcliffe, completely disregarding Elize Yarrow at his side.

“Hey! Who are you calling?”

Elize Yarrow, dressed as a bunny girl, burst out in rage, pointing at Julius Reed and saying, “Keep badmouthing me, see if I don’t get serious with you!”
