Chapter 526: 526 I Believe in You_1

“Fine! Fine! Fine!”

Anna Harris said somewhat displeased, “I know you like my best friend’s husband, but you don’t have to blow his trumpet like that! Ten billion, might fool a child, but I’m an adult!”

The moment Sophia Leocadia took out the black card, Anna Harris was genuinely startled.

But she calmed down quickly, her eyes full of disdain.

Sure enough, such a child, daring to brag like this without fear of being laughed at.

“Sis, do you even grasp the concept of ten billion? If that were in cash, imagine how big a pile it would be! Even this house couldn’t contain it all!”

Looking at Sophia Leocadia, who was around twenty, Anna couldn’t help but sigh, children are so easy to deceive.

No idea what tricks Julius Reed had used to trick such an innocent and lovely young lady!

Beast!

Worse than a beast!

“Sister, if you don’t believe me, please take a look.”

Sophia Leocadia smiled and handed over her phone, waving it in front of Anna Harris.

“Spare me, how could such a low-level trick fool me?”

Anna Harris looked at the long string of numbers on the screen and sneered.

Definitely another trick to fool people.

“But I have a video here as well.”

Sophia Leocadia didn’t get angry but took out her phone, wanting to show Anna Harris the video from her birthday party.

At the party, a few people had inadvertently recorded this heart-stopping video, which was later obtained by Joey Leocadia and saved on his phone.

“Sister, let’s make dumplings first, I believe you.”

Anna Harris didn’t want to argue with a love-struck young girl, so she nodded dismissively.

Ten billion, my foot!

She wouldn’t believe it, not even if she were beaten to death!

The young lady might come from a wealthy family; otherwise, she couldn’t have flown here and also casually bought a plane ticket for Dempsey Davenport’s mother.

When Dempsey Davenport had tried to pay for the ticket upon entering, Sophia Leocadia immediately refused.

This righteous act did give Anna Harris a bit of a good impression.

Otherwise, given her character, she would have driven Sophia Leocadia out long ago.

“Time to make dumplings!”

Quella Radcliffe knocked on the table, looking at Julius Reed, “Don’t even think about slacking off! We’re a bunch of girls making dumplings here, and you’re just waiting to eat, aren’t you ashamed?”

“I’m coming, my dear wife!”

Julius Reed breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Dempsey Davenport hadn’t mentioned Sophia Leocadia’s identity to these people.

The little princess of the Leocadia Family from the capital city, if Anna Harris were to hear of her, she’d probably be so embarrassed she’d want to crawl into a hole, right?

With the Leocadia Family’s hundreds of billions in assets, what’s ten billion considered?

“Thank you!”

As he passed by Sophia Leocadia, Julius Reed still said thank you.

Although the Leocadia and Davenport families were relatives, in the eyes of Sophia Leocadia, Dempsey Davenport wasn’t worth mentioning.

She offered help only because of her regard for him.

“Cough! Cough!”

Anna Harris coughed forcefully twice.

“If your throat is uncomfortable, we have medicine in the house!”

Julius Reed said, annoyed.

“Pfft!”

Anna Harris gave him a glance and continued with the dumplings.

“I heard from Sophia Leocadia that you’re going to the capital city after New Year’s to treat her grandfather?”

Quella Radcliffe asked.

“Ah…”

Julius Reed’s mind buzzed, this little princess, why does she have to tell everything!

If it were any other time, he would explain things to Quella Radcliffe, his reasonable wife, and surely she would agree.

But considering Sophia Leocadia’s visit today, with Anna Harris stirring things up beside them, the atmosphere was clearly off.

Discussing the trip to the capital city now just wasn’t appropriate.

“I was asking her for a favor, owing her a favor…”

“You don’t need to explain, I trust you.”

Quella Radcliffe said with a laugh.

“Really…”

“You jerk! Let me tell you, don’t mess with Quella Radcliffe just because she’s nice. If you really anger her, watch out—she might dump you and kick you out!”

Anna Harris huffed angrily,

Even taking the initiative to tenderly care for someone’s illness?

That’s too despicable!

Back in the Five-river Province, Julius Reed had already left a bad impression on her.

And now, he’s accumulated so many romantic debts, especially with the friend circle flooded with photos of Itai Huntington kissing Julius Reed.

Anna Harris would get furious every time she saw them!

She could hardly wait to dismember this jerk!

It was a marvel how Quella Radcliffe could swallow her pride.

No sooner had he fooled around with Itai Huntington than he’s already flirting with an underage girl.

Looking at Sophia Leocadia’s manner, Anna Harris could guess she was a naive, just-of-age girl—beautiful and innocent.

She must have been deceived by Julius Reed’s sweet talk!

While making dumplings, she had already hinted several times that Quella Radcliffe is Julius Reed’s wife, even taking out the pictures of Julius Reed with Itai Huntington from today.

She tried to bring Sophia to her senses.

However, this young girl seemed to be brainwashed, not caring at all!

“If you guys don’t want him, I’ll take him! My house is big enough, he can just move right in,” Sophia Leocadia said opportunely.

In an instant, the room fell into silence.

Eerie.

Everyone stopped what they were doing.

This was practically a declaration of war on Quella Radcliffe. The mistress had come to the house and was making advances blatantly.

“I’m just kidding.”

Sophia Leocadia chuckled, which put Anna Harris at ease.

She felt that, no matter how outrageous the young lady was, she couldn’t possibly be so lacking in emotional intelligence, right?

But before she could catch her breath, Sophia continued, “If you guys really get divorced, I can just buy this place. That way, he won’t have to move.”

Anna Harris almost spat out blood!

Dempsey Davenport and Bastien Yarrow were startled for a moment and then continued with their tasks.

The little princess of the Leocadia family had the capability and could do it with ease.

But Anna Harris obviously didn’t know that; she assumed Sophia Leocadia was brainwashed by Julius Reed, so she directed all her anger at him.

“You scumbag! Tell me, how can you still have the face to stay in this house?”

“Damn it! Anna Harris, can you be quiet for a bit!”

Julius Reed threw down the dumpling in his hand, turned to look at Quella Radcliffe, and said with a victimized tone, “Wife, don’t listen to her nonsense, I really didn’t…”

“Of course, I believe you.”

Quella Radcliffe didn’t seem angry, “After all, with a man as outstanding as you, it’s inevitable that women will take a liking to you. I’ll have to face such challenges sooner or later anyway, might as well get used to it sooner!”

“Cosmo, washboard! Instant noodles!” Julius Reed declared righteously.

“Master, there are outsiders here! Are you…”

Cosmo, leaning at the doorway, tentatively asked, “Are you sure?”

Cosmo could handle fighting and killing, but making dumplings was nearly the death of her!

She simply hid inside the room, playing games.

It was hard to imagine that the queen of the underground Shadow Warriors was also a gaming addict.

“Julius, go boil the water, get ready to cook the dumplings!”

Quella Radcliffe turned and, seeing nearly two hundred dumplings in front of her, smiled at Julius Reed.

“Wife. Please believe me.”

Julius Reed posed as if ready to make a noble sacrifice.

“I trust you.”

Quella Radcliffe kissed him gently on the face, “You’re my husband, after all!”

“Alright! Off to boil the water I go!”

Julius Reed was taken aback at first, but then he quickly ran to the kitchen to start boiling water.
