Reilly Expressway.

This is the fastest route from the provincial capital to Gonzalez City, and it only takes two hours to get there from the Three Blade Group.

At this moment, a convoy was speeding on the expressway, driving over the speed limit the entire way.

“Boss, fortune really is on our side!”

In the Mercedes in the middle of the convoy, Julius Reed, the deputy manager of the headquarters of the Three Blade Group, said with a laugh. His face was brimming with joy.

Aron Jackson’s power in Gonzalez City was too strong and severely hindered the development of the Three Blade Group.

He dreamt of removing this thorn!

Now that Aron Jackson had delivered himself to their doorstep, how could they not be pleased?

“If he’s looking for death, he can’t blame me for being impolite!” Maurice Yarrow sat in the back seat with his legs crossed.

Nobody wanted Aron Jackson dead more than he did!

“For this feat, I suggest bringing Sonny Ridge back to headquarters to plan a new bar. The success of the Black Wind Bar can surely be replicated!”

Mitchell Pendleton, the strategist of the Three Blade Group, was very satisfied with Sonny Ridge. Removing the thorn that was Aron Jackson would surely make the Black Wind Bar’s business in Gonzalez City boom!

In the last few days, they had planned to expand into other provinces, and opening bars was the top priority.

And Sonny Ridge had ample experience in this area, making him the ideal choice.

Just as they were discussing, Maurice Yarrow’s cell phone rang. “It’s a call from Sonny Ridge; they must have succeeded over there!” Maurice Yarrow smiled slightly and answered the phone.

“Sonny Ridge, you’ve made a significant contribution this time. Whatever you want, just say the word!”

“Boss… ”

From the other end of the phone, Sonny Ridge’s voice was nearly trembling.

“What’s the matter!”

The three people in the Mercedes were startled.

“Maurice Yarrow, right? Your guy lost fifty million in the bar, cheated at cards and tried to duck out on the debt – I took the liberty of taking him away! If you want him back, bring a ransom of two hundred million!”

The cold voice of a stranger came through, and the three people’s faces changed dramatically; their mood plummeted in an instant.

“Aron Jackson!”

Maurice Yarrow nearly gnashed his teeth as he uttered the name!

“This has nothing to do with Aron Jackson; I’m just an ordinary customer. Your man reneged on his debts on your Three Blade Group turf – I’m sure Boss Yarrow won’t just sit by and ignore it, right?”

Julius Reed leaned against the car, with Sonny Ridge bound in the passenger seat, his hands broken and writhing in pain.

“What on earth happened! Who are you!”

Maurice Yarrow’s corner of the mouth quivered uncontrollably, and his heart raced faster.

Beside him, Mitchell Pendleton and Julius Reed had similarly grim expressions on their faces.

Good news turned to bad news — who could stand it?

“Big brother, I lost fifty million gambling; it’s my fault…”

Once again, the fear-filled voice of Sonny Ridge came from the phone. “Then why does he say it’s two hundred million!”

Maurice Yarrow took a deep breath, trying his best to stay calm.

Even though the other party said he didn’t know Aron Jackson, Yarrow was sure Aron Jackson had something to do with this!

“Principal and interest. You didn’t think there’d be no interest, did you? Since Boss Yarrow runs a bar, haven’t you heard of loan sharking?” Julius Reed’s leisurely voice came through.

“Tomorrow night at six, West Lake Pier, four hundred million.”

“Wasn’t it two hundred million?”

Maurice Yarrow’s teeth gritted audibly!

“The interest will naturally rise. If you want him alive, remember to bring the money on time.”

After saying this, Julius Reed hung up the phone and walked towards his house, opening the car door.

By now, the horizon was showing a glimmer of dawn.

Aron Jackson’s people took Sonny Ridge and quietly disappeared into the darkness.

“More trouble than they’re worth!”

Inside the Mercedes, Maurice Yarrow crushed his cell phone in a fit of rage, his body trembling uncontrollably!

Early the next morning, Julius Reed pulled Quella Radcliffe along to work at the company.

Due to the enormity of the project and the significant amount of money involved, Quella Radcliffe made sure to personally oversee everything, ensuring that her first project in charge wouldn’t encounter any mishaps.

“Where did you go last night?”

Inside the car, Quella Radcliffe suddenly spoke up.

She hadn’t slept at all the previous night, only resting after Julius Reed returned, which finally put her at ease.

At the moment, her eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, and she yawned all the way in the car.

“Nothing, just had a drink with Sky Reed.”

Julius Reed said with a smile, his voice full of affection.

“Really?”

“Originally, Sky Reed also suggested I fix up the car, but after we drank, he got tipsy and forgot all about it, even offered to give me the car.”

Julius Reed said casually, without changing his expression.

“We can’t just take other people’s things, why don’t you give it back to him!”

Quella Radcliffe, accustomed to being strong, disliked it when others gossiped behind her back.

She had heard some of the rumors circulating in the past few days, with most people saying she got intimate with Sky Reed to land the position of project manager and even drove his Rolls-Royce.

While she wasn’t bothered by the gossip, she couldn’t ignore Julius Reed’s feelings.

But now it seemed that her husband didn’t care in the least.

“It’s fine, no need for that.”

Julius Reed said with a faint smile, skillfully parking the car in front of the Radcliffe Group building.

The entire Titan Group belonged to him, not to mention a Rolls-Royce.

“Look, they came in Sky Reed’s car again!”

“How shameless!”

“Julius Reed isn’t acting like a man at all, look at him smiling as he steps out of the car!”

As the couple entered the company building, some of the employees began to gossip.

Without even thinking about it, it was obvious that the rumors were spread by

Otis Radcliffe and Tess Radcliffe.

Especially Otis Radcliffe, who, after losing the position of project manager to Quella Radcliffe, had been trying all means to bring about her downfall.

Arriving at the elevator entrance, a security guard stepped up to block Julius

Reed.

“Sir, you are not an employee of the company, and according to Radcliffe Group policy, you are not allowed inside the company!”

The security guard stood with his hands behind his back, blocking Julius Reed’s path, his eyes filled with contempt.

He had always looked down on Julius Reed’s behavior, and after being entrusted by Otis Radcliffe, he was even more determined to take Julius Reed down a peg!

“You…”

Quella Radcliffe couldn’t help but frown.

Even a mere company security guard dares to gesture and criticize her husband?

“President Radcliffe, even if you are the project manager, that doesn’t mean you can break the company’s rules, does it?”

Just then, Otis Radcliffe came over with a beaming smile. He immediately pinned the hat of favoritism on Quella Radcliffe.

“I’m her secretary now.”

Seeing Otis Radcliffe appear, Julius Reed instantly understood.

Without the General Manager of Radcliffe Group’s instruction, how could a mere security guard dare to act like this?

“Ha! When did this happen? As the general manager, why am I completely unaware?”

Otis Radcliffe sneered coldly. “Now! ”

Quella Radcliffe spoke up firmly.

“From now on, Julius Reed is my secretary! President Radcliffe, don’t tell me that as a project manager, I don’t even have this bit of authority?” “Or is it that my title as project manager is just a courtesy title given by you

“Otis, you really have some nerve!”
