Chapter 421 - 421 Uncle Good_1

After being humiliated, Lewis Leocadia no longer had the heart to sing.

Having suffered two brutal beatings in one night, his body trembled with rage.

His bones felt like they were about to fall apart.

After borrowing a few thousand dollars from Knox Ridge, Bryson Ridge took Lewis Leocadia and left the Copper Pheasant Platform.

She despised Quella Radcliffe’s family to death, originally intending to show off and suppress Knox Ridge’s arrogance, but it turned out she was the one humiliated.

In front of Knox Ridge, she lost all face.

Once outside, Lewis Leocadia cried and said, “Mom, we can’t let this go! That poor bastard Julius Reed even had someone beat me up!”

“Exactly! And he made me polish his shoes! This is far from over!”

Bryson Ridge was even angrier, she came back to pretend to be rich, to satisfy her vanity.

But now, she ended up polishing shoes.

If the Ridge Family found out, she probably wouldn’t have the face to stay with them for the New Year.

Especially with Knox Ridge’s big mouth, she would definitely spread the news.

“We must find a way to keep this quiet!”

Bryson Ridge’s eyes spun, and she came up with a bad idea.

“I heard from your uncle that Knox Ridge has managed to offend them all, so let’s join forces. We’ll badmouth her in front of the old man, and when the time comes, make sure her family of four can’t return. We’ll see how they can act so high and mighty then!”

“Great! It would be best if they had no idea, and once they reach the doorstep of our hometown, we’ll keep them out, making them spend New Year’s on the street!”

Lewis Leocadia’s eyes gleamed with a golden light!

“Let’s find a place to stay first, and make it to your uncles’ before them tomorrow.”

Bryson Ridge looked at the little over two thousand dollars in her hand and sighed.

She had to talk for a long time to borrow it from Knox Ridge’s hands.

After such an incident, she truly didn’t have the face to stay at Knox Ridge’s place.

“Big brother, that bastard’s come out!”

Just then, more than fifty meters away, Zane Percival, with a cigarette in his mouth, hands casually tucked in his pockets, was watching the Copper Pheasant Platform entrance.

Since making trouble inside the Copper Pheasant Platform wasn’t allowed, now that they were outside its territory, surely Aric Smith couldn’t control what happened?

“Go up later, put a sack over his head, and beat him mercilessly!”

Zane Percival threw his cigarette butt to the ground and stamped it out with his foot.

“Understood!”

A few youths nodded, carrying sacks and stealthily following behind Lewis Leocadia and Bryson Ridge.

“Mom! That loser embarrassed me, I want to get back at him!”

Lewis Leocadia had been thoroughly conned by Julius Reed today.

“Don’t worry! We must take revenge. Your cousin knows many people from society, we’ll ask him for help.” Bryson Ridge sneered, “Such a loser dares to ride over our heads, we need to teach him a lesson!”

Just thinking about how Julius Reed made her polish shoes, Bryson Ridge was seething with anger.

When had she ever suffered such humiliation?

But before they had gone very far, their vision suddenly went dark as if something had covered them.

Then came a flurry of punches and kicks.

“Ah… stop hitting!”

The two kept wailing, but the punches rained down relentlessly, soon battering them severely.

Lewis Leocadia was in even worse shape, already injured, he was knocked unconscious by the beating.

Feeling it was enough, Zane Percival led his group away.

It seemed that Amos Davenport might not be able to come out tonight; Zane left two people to watch and returned to sleep.

In the meantime, Bryson Ridge, who had been beaten, carefully crawled out from the sack half an hour after Zane Percival had gone, fearing those people were still around.

“Lewis!”

She pushed Lewis Leocadia and felt an extreme pain enveloping her body.

“Mom…”

Lewis Leocadia’s eyes were swollen as he called out in a weak voice.

“I’ll call your uncle.”

Bryson Ridge hastily took out her cell phone, luckily it hadn’t been broken.

“Jorge, it’s Bryson Ridge. Can you come and pick us up? We’re in front of the Copper Sparrow Pavilion. My daughter and I have been beaten up,”

Bryson Ridge said in pain.

“Who did this?”

On the other end, Jorge Ridge was firstly stunned, then he asked, trying to find out what happened.

“Didn’t see anyone, we were bagged!”

Bryson Ridge answered feebly.

“You wait for me!”

Upon hearing about being bagged, Jorge Ridge hurriedly drove over.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the Copper Sparrow Pavilion and saw the mother and daughter lying on the ground.

“What happened here?”

Jorge Ridge was shocked. Bryson Ridge and Lewis Leocadia had been living abroad for many years, they had only just returned to Gonzalez City; where would they have an enemy?

“It was Knox Ridge’s doing! And her son-in-law too!”

Bryson Ridge decided to pin the incident on Knox Ridge.

“What? Why would she do that? Didn’t she ask you out for a meal? Where is she?”

Jorge Ridge looked around and didn’t see Knox Ridge and her family anywhere.

Everyone had heard about Knox Ridge going to pick up Bryson Ridge. How did it turn into this situation?

“Isn’t it out of envy? They couldn’t stand to see how successful our Lewis has become, so that good-for-nothing son-in-law attacked us by surprise and even stole all the gold and silver jewelry from our house!”

Bryson Ridge continued to concoct the lie, intent on smearing Julius Reed to ensure that he couldn’t gain a foothold in the Ridge family.

That way, the old man wouldn’t let Knox Ridge in the house; they could keep the family of four out of the door, making them spend New Year’s on the streets.

“Right! That good-for-nothing stole my watch and took my ring too!”

Lewis Leocadia added fuel to the fire. His most valuable possession, a pair of eyeglasses, had been smashed during the fight by Zane Percival’s men.

But he didn’t dare blame Zane Percival, so he had to frame Julius Reed.

“Hmph! Knox Ridge actually did such a thing! I’ve had it with them for a long time, marrying a good-for-nothing son-in-law who doesn’t do any decent work and now robbing people! I’m going to tell the old man!”

Jorge Ridge was furious. He had already held a grudge for being refused a loan by Knox Ridge, and now with this news, it was the perfect opportunity to complain.

“They still want to attend this year’s family New Year’s meeting, going on about how they’ll show off with the stuff they stole from our Lewis, telling us ‘poor folk’ that we don’t deserve to be their siblings.”

Bryson Ridge embellished the story.

That’s the effect she wanted.

“Exactly! And insulting uncle, saying he drives a busted Jetta, just like a junk collector!”

Lewis Leocadia, seeing Jorge Ridge’s Jetta, immediately chimed in.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Nonsense! That bunch of bastards, relying on their daughter who’s gotten into a nearly bankrupt company, look down on us! You get in the car first, tomorrow I’m going to talk to the old man about this!”

Jorge Ridge was enraged, and now he loathed Knox Ridge and her family to the extreme.

This was precisely the effect that Bryson Ridge wanted to see.

“Get in the car, your uncle is still good to you. Look at your aunt, absolutely clueless about the world!”

Bryson Ridge struggled to get up, took a few photos of Lewis Leocadia under the streetlights, preparing to show them to the old man later on.
