Chapter 457: 457 I Don't Lack Money_1

“That woman is called Jennifer Lopez, as for the room number, sorry I don’t know. And she was the one who invited me, can’t you guys look it up? If not, then go check!”

Julius Reed argued with the staff member impatiently.

He had reluctantly agreed to meet, and now, regrettably, he couldn’t even get through the door.

It was such a loss of face!

“Sorry, sir, you need to provide the room number; it’s the privacy of the guest. If you can’t provide it truthfully, we can’t let you in!”

The staff member stubbornly blocked him.

Without permission from above, she dared not let anyone in randomly.

“You won’t let me in, right? Fine!”

Julius Reed took a few steps back and shouted loudly above: “I’m here, but I can’t get in! Sorry, anything you need, call me. Bye there!”

After speaking, Julius Reed turned around to leave.

“Let him in!”

Up on the third floor, the half-raised teacup of Jennifer Lopez hung suspended in the air.

She hadn’t expected Julius Reed to pull such a stunt.

He had already come all this way, and now he wanted to leave?

Wouldn’t that be a complete waste of effort?

But she couldn’t let Julius Reed leave like this!

“Miss…”

The man voiced out, seeking permission.

This way, the other party would definitely know it was she who was playing tricks.

“Leave that waiter’s life be!”

Jennifer Lopez took a sip of her tea, quietly waiting.

“Got it!”

The man nodded and leaped down from the third floor.

“Mr. Reed, please wait!”

Just when Julius Reed had walked about ten meters away, a shout came from behind him.

But he didn’t intend to stop.

To come when they wish, to leave when they say, how humiliating?

After all, he was also the hidden Dragon King, the underground overlord!

“Blind your dog eyes! You blocked our most important guest outside!”

The man grabbed the staff member by the neck with one hand, lifting her up viciously!

“Save… save… me!”

The staff member called out weakly.

“You’re really asking for death!”

Thump!

The man slammed her violently to the ground, then lifted his right foot, aiming it at the staff member’s head.

“All right!”

Julius Reed turned around, staring straight at the man.

“Sorry, the master has ordered that this dog of a servant who has slighted Mr. Reed deserves to die!”

The man lifted his foot, ready to stomp down at any moment.

“Stop! Listen to me!”

Julius Reed shook his head helplessly and turned to walk into the Flower Building.

If he did not change his mind, this staff member would really die!

According to Jennifer Lopez’s cold and merciless nature, what would another life count for?

Merely a blade of grass!

“Thank you…”

The staff member looked at Julius Reed with frightened eyes, tears of gratitude streaming from her eyes.

She knew if this man hadn’t turned back, she really would have died!

“If you had known this day would come, why did you do it in the first place?”

Julius Reed shook his head.

“I…”

The staff member hesitated to speak.

Blocking Julius Reed was Jennifer Lopez’s idea.

The aim was to cut down Julius Reed’s spirit!

This staff member had no choice in the matter.

She was but a pawn to be sacrificed!

However, what Julius Reed truly meant was, if Jennifer Lopez intended to shut me out, why bother turning around to seek my help?

Or should I say, with such clumsy tactics?

Upon arriving at the third floor of the Flower Building, Julius Reed saw Jennifer Lopez for the first time.

Beneath a black trench coat was an irresistible perfect body.

Although she was around forty years old, she undoubtedly looked like a girl in her twenties.

Not just her appearance and skin, but even her aura was different from most women.

“What’s the matter, Mr. Reed? Haven’t seen enough yet?”

Jennifer Lopez asked nonchalantly, her eyes on the teacup.

A display of power!

“Of course! Had I known sister was this beautiful, I would have come sooner! Why go through all this trouble and such a big misunderstanding!”

Julius Reed gazed admiringly at Jennifer Lopez, shaking his head in praise, unable to hide his fascination.

“Unexpectedly, you’re quite the smooth talker. But that’s no wonder, given that Itai Huntington favors you so much—it proves you’re definitely no ordinary man.”

For the first time, Jennifer Lopez raised her head and looked straight at Julius Reed.

Before coming here, she had looked at Julius Reed’s photograph countless times.

With such handsome features and exquisite facial structures, he could indeed be called a beautiful man.

Yet the records on this man were scarce.

Son-in-law living with his wife’s family, useless, living off a woman.

These three labels seemed to represent the first half of Julius Reed’s life.

However, Jennifer Lopez didn’t believe that a mere son-in-law living with his wife’s family could beat her son to such a state?

Zane Percival might not be outstanding, but he was still a member of the Percival Family.

In Gonzalez City, he still had a certain status and position.

Moreover, after Bran Cook came back, Zane Percival got very close to him.

With these two layers of relationships, was it something a mere son-in-law living with his wife’s family could afford to offend?

Though Arlo Percival wasn’t any formidable figure, the fact that he could monopolize Gonzalez City’s transport industry meant he was a ruthless person!

To disregard these concerns, to break Zane Percival’s teeth, and make him kneel like a dog in front of Gonzalez City’s young elites!

How strong was this man’s backing?

Yet on Julius Reed’s profile, it was clean.

Son-in-law living with his wife’s family, without any power or influence.

It was the fear of the unknown that kept Jennifer Lopez from choosing to act immediately.

If this man could be easily dealt with, Bran Cook would have acted by now.

But the words just now had indeed pleased Jennifer Lopez.

“Of course! Itai Huntington likes me because I am capable! Otherwise, sister can also give it a try. I hear you’ve been divorced from Arlo Percival for many years now; you must be quite lonely, right?”

Julius Reed settled across from Jennifer Lopez and, finding no tea in front of him, snatched the teapot from in front of her.

He directly guzzled it down his throat.

“Mind your language!”

Any hint of goodwill that Jennifer Lopez had just begun to feel instantly vanished, replaced by anger.

And contempt!

Who drinks tea like that!

This was just drinking water.

“Let me tell you, if you went out to sell yourself, you could become the top earner in the whole of Gonzalez City! If it were me, I would willingly pay three thousand for a night!”

Julius Reed wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said with a hint of regret, “I got a bit thirsty on my walk over here, so I had a drink of sister’s tea first.”

“Repeat that!”

On hearing Julius Reed imply that Jennifer Lopez was practically a prostitute, the man behind her radiated an endless murderous intent!

His fists crackled with the sound of his knuckles cracking, seeming ready at any moment to strike and shatter Julius Reed into pieces!

“What a temper!”

Julius Reed shrugged, looking innocently at Jennifer Lopez.

“Jordan!”

Jennifer Lopez called out sharply.

“Yes, miss.”

The man looked at Julius Reed resentfully, his killing intent slowly dissipating.

“To be honest, I really dislike you!”

Jennifer Lopez turned to Julius Reed and pulled out a card from her bag, “We’re all smart here, name your price! How much for this video?”

In her view, no one could resist the temptation of money.

Especially a son-in-law living with his wife’s family.

“Sorry, I’m not short of money,”

Julius Reed shrugged and spread his hands.
