Chapter 442: 442: Becoming a Dad Again_1

Julius Reed took a closer look, and the woman speaking turned out to be Quella Radcliffe’s best friend!

She was also her assistant, the most reliable person within the Radcliffe Group!

Dempsey Davenport!

At this time, the Radcliffe Group should have been closed for the day. Why was Dempsey Davenport here?

And standing opposite her was a middle-aged man, looking to be in his mid-forties.

Dressed in a Sun Yat-sen suit, his attire clearly indicated wealth, and even the watch on his hand was worth around a million.

“Is she being kept by someone?”

That was Julius Reed’s first thought.

If that were the case, he would quietly leave. After all, Dempsey Davenport’s relationship with Quella Radcliffe was quite good, and it would be awkward to bump into her.

“Amanda, listen to your uncle’s words and come back with me,” said the man, hands in his pockets, sounding like he was negotiating, but his tone was very firm, leaving no room for argument!

“Uncle?”

Julius Reed stepped back a few paces, sensing that the situation was not so simple.

Dempsey Davenport had come to Gonzalez City alone, having previously studied abroad.

About Dempsey Davenport’s background, Quella Radcliffe had never elaborated.

And Dempsey Davenport had always lived alone, without any relatives or friends.

In Gonzalez City, Quella Radcliffe was her only friend.

“Why should I go back? I’m doing very well here! Please tell my father to forget about me, as if he never had me as a daughter.”

Dempsey Davenport’s tone was very resolute!

She was just as domineering facing her uncle!

“Dempsey Davenport, I’m here on the family’s orders to take you back. You are not allowed to be willful anymore! What’s so good about this Gonzalez City? How can it compare to the prosperity of the capital city?” Pier Davenport tried to persuade her kindly: “As long as you follow the family’s arrangements, you will be able to live without worry and enjoy all the luxury. Instead of struggling here on your own, why not enjoy life properly?”

“Sorry! I don’t want to be a caged canary! I would rather stay here alone, work overtime and stay up late every day for my job, than return to the family and become a tool for you all!” said Dempsey Davenport coldly: “You can go back. I won’t change my mind.”

“Dempsey Davenport! You escaped from the family five years ago, and not holding you accountable has already been a favor to you! If you continue to be obstinate, the outcome will not be the same!”

Royden Reed spoke with an increasingly cold tone, then hummed lightly: “Don’t even think about running away. This time, even if it means tying you up, I’ll bring you back!”

“Oh, really? What if I tell you that I have a man here in Gonzalez City?”

Suddenly, Dempsey Davenport looked up, her eyes smiling but not smiling at Royden Reed: “Not only that, but I am also pregnant with his child. It’s not long, just two months. Moreover, he’s a married man, and I’m waiting for the baby to grow a little before I ask him to divorce.”

“Bullshit!”

Royden Reed was shocked, then sneered: “I’ve had people watching you all this time. You haven’t had any interactions with any man!”

For two to three months before his arrival, the Davenport Family had already sent people to keep an eye on Dempsey Davenport, to get a clear picture of her every move and connections.

So naturally, Royden Reed thought Dempsey Davenport was slandering herself.

After all, a married man, such a person had never been in contact with Dempsey Davenport.

It was pure fabrication!

“Heh! Uncle, you’re really painstaking, aren’t you? But there is someone you must not forget.”

As Dempsey Davenport said this, she gently touched her stomach, speaking very calmly: “I have a good friend named Quella Radcliffe.”

“I know that…”

Royden Reed was of course aware of Quella Radcliffe; she was Dempsey Davenport’s only friend in Gonzalez City and her immediate superior.

She was the first on Dempsey Davenport’s list of contacts.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“She has a husband, they’ve been married for three years, but they’ve never consummated the marriage. Though they seem together, they’re actually apart—it’s a marriage of convenience.”

Dempsey Davenport said once again.

And on the side, Julius Reed couldn’t help feeling that something was off?

How had this situation become connected to him?

What did the affairs of the Davenport Family have to do with him?

“What are you implying!”

Royden Reed asked in a deep voice.

“Uncle might have heard a saying, ‘Guard against fire, guard against theft, and guard against your best friend.’

Dempsey Davenport suddenly smiled, shook her head, and continued, “Everyone thought her husband was a good-for-nothing, but how could a real good-for-nothing drive away Zade Radcliffe and support Quella Radcliffe to the position of Chairman? They’ve been married three years without sharing a bed; he’s a man too, with needs.”

At that point, Dempsey Davenport looked up at Royden Reed, “And I, in my twenties, also need a man. Being adrift out here for so long, I need warmth too.”

“That’s impossible…”

“I know you don’t believe it, but if uncle had paid attention to your surveillance records, you would remember Quella Radcliffe once sneaked away, while I pretended to be her, sitting in the office.”

Dempsey Davenport seemed to feel a chill and draped a piece of clothing over her body before she continued, “The time Quella Radcliffe was kidnapped was orchestrated by me and Julius Reed. And that day, after Quella left, we enjoyed each other’s company in her office. I didn’t expect to become pregnant so soon…”

She looked down at her belly, her face filled with happiness.

“You!”

Royden Reed suddenly remembered that Quella Radcliffe had indeed left for Five-river Province without any prior notice, and it seemed she had actually experienced a kidnapping.

And that day, Dempsey Davenport was indeed in Quella Radcliffe’s office.

As for Julius Reed, they couldn’t find a trace of him at all.

The man had disappeared into thin air until he showed up a few days ago.

That Quella Radcliffe and Julius Reed had never shared a bed was no secret in Gonzalez City.

‘Dry wood meeting a raging fire’—it wouldn’t be strange if something happened.

Moreover, Dempsey Davenport was indeed very beautiful. No man would refuse such a woman.

“Shameless!”

Slap!

Pier Davenport slapped her hard across the face.

“Abort the child! And come with me!”

His face was ashen with anger!

A Davenport Family member, actually doing such a shameless deed!

On the side, Julius Reed sighed helplessly. He really was a professional fall guy.

The child comes out of nowhere while a man sits idly at home!

But thinking it over, he could understand.

With Dempsey Davenport’s circle being this small, if she didn’t pin the blame on his head, Royden Reed would never believe it.

“I won’t go! For the last time, if you force me to return, I’ll make sure the whole capital knows about this! Everyone will know that Dempsey Davenport slept with her best friend’s husband and got pregnant!”

Dempsey Davenport nearly screamed, her unwillingness evident, “If you want to destroy me, then I’ll take down the Davenport Family with me!”

“Hah, stop dreaming. Even if you die today, you’re coming back with me!”

After saying this, Royden Reed grabbed Dempsey Davenport’s wrist, trying to pull her to the car.

No matter how he was slandered, Julius Reed had to intervene because of Dempsey Davenport’s friendship with Quella Radcliffe!

“Hey! What are you doing! In broad daylight, is this hooliganism? Let go of her this instant!”

He walked out from behind the wall and shouted at Royden Reed.
