Chapter 576: 576: Karen Succeeds_1
Legend of Dragon Son-in-law
âKaren, youâre still so despicable.â
In the hotel room, Terry Moore looked at Julius Reed tied up on the floor and spoke to Karen.
âWhat do you know? This is called intelligent strategy! Sometimes, brute force alone is useless.â
At the moment, Karen was sitting on the bed soaking her feet, and the room didnât have that suffocating, desperate odor.
On the contrary, there was a faint fragrance.
âIâll send a video to Manager Leocadia. Unexpectedly, our brothers have won a great victory, and it seems we can return tomorrow.â
Karen took out her phone and dialed Natalia Leocadiaâs number.
At that moment, the Leocadia Family was in a heated discussion about the destruction at the exhibition.
âBig brother, after a preliminary investigation, we have figured out why the exhibition was smashed.â

Sophia Leocadiaâs father, Daphne Leocadia, stood up, holding a thick stack of reports: âThe son of the president of Oberon Enterprise and another American teenager made a bet at the exhibition with this man named Julius Reed. They lost. The terms of the bet included being beaten and kneeling on the ground.â
âDaphne, what are you trying to say?â
Natalia Leocadia leaned back in the executive chair and asked casually.
The brothers were at odds, and if Old Master Leocadia hadnât suddenly been hospitalized, it might have been Daphne Leocadia sitting in that chair.
Although Natalia Leocadia now held all the power, he always saw Daphne Leocadia as a thorn in his side, a threat to his position.
He couldnât wait to get rid of him quickly!
After all, he was the biggest threat.
âThe cause of the incident was that Thompson and another young man named Jack Lau tried to harass Julius Reedâs wife. She is the beautiful woman in the surveillance video, and that triggered the betting conflict.â
Daphne Leocadia pressed the remote, and the big screen started playing the footage of the scene.
A woman was seen taking photos with her phone next to a showcase when two American teenagers tiptoed behind her and placed a bracelet that was already broken in her hand.
In the moment the woman turned around, the bracelet dropped to the ground.
âWhat does this prove?â
Natalia Leocadia asked, frowning.
Thompson was the son of the president of Oberon Enterprise, which he had only just learned.
Now that the issue had escalated, Oberon had already sent an email denouncing the Leocadia Family.
They demanded an explanation within a week.
âDaphne, whatâs the point of saying this now?â
Natalia Leocadia said angrily: âThey smashed our Leocadia Familyâs exhibition, and the ones losing face are not just me, but you too! Arenât you a member of the Leocadia Family?â
He couldnât stand it when Daphne Leocadia acted so self-righteously.
Now that things had come to this, catching the trouble-making youngster was the most important thing; what was the point of saying all this?
âThe spark that caused the smashing was Winona Leocadia humiliating Julius Reedâs wife after stepping in.â
Daphne Leocadia said coldly: âThis is the Winona Leocadia that you raised! If it werenât for his vile words, the Leocadia Family wouldnât have faced this disaster!â
âDaphne Leocadia, shut your mouth!â
Bang!
Natalia Leocadia slammed the table and stood up from the executive chair: âDonât think I donât know about your daughterâs mess! I thought that as brothers, we would keep our family shame to ourselves. But you, now youâve gone too far!â
His sudden outburst quieted the entire meeting room.
In the face of this fraternal quarrel, these outsiders had no way to interject.
âNatalia Leocadia, you can talk about me, but leave my daughter out of it!â
Daphne Leocadia similarly slammed the file in her hand down and pointed at Natalia Leocadia, âThe situation the Leocadia Family finds itself in exists solely because of your incompetence!â
Since the two had long found each other disagreeable, they simply went straight into arguing.
âHeh heh! In Five-river Province, on the day of your daughterâs birthday, this guy threw around ten billion and even beat up Fernando Lee, smashing his limited-edition sports car to pieces! Didnât that happen?â
Natalia Leocadia sneered at Daphne Leocadia, âOn Chinese New Yearâs Eve, your daughter ran off to Five-river Province alone and stayed at that manâs house, not returning for the whole night! Such shamelessness, truly a disgrace to our Leocadia Family!â
âSay that again!â
Daphne Leocadia stood up, ready to charge over, but was firmly held back by the person next to her.
âIâm telling you, you can insult me, but if you insult my daughter, Iâll never let you off the hook!â
He glared furiously at Natalia Leocadia, his eyes almost spewing fire.
âWhat? Angry because I hit the mark?â
Natalia Leocadia showed no intent to back down, instead escalating the situation, âCould it be that Sophia Leocadia willingly became someoneâs mistress? I now suspect that you orchestrated this whole affair!â
âYou slanderous wretch! Natalia Leocadia, youâre inhuman and entirely unworthy of your position!â
Daphne Leocadia clenched her teeth, wishing she could rush up and beat him.
âHeh heh, whatâs wrong? Guilty conscience?â
Natalia Leocadia stood with his hands clasped behind him, feeling very pleased by his brotherâs anger.
âI know youâre dissatisfied with me inheriting the family business as your older brother, but itâs the trend of the times! By the way, Iâve already found a suitable match for Sophia. We might as well find someone to take her off our hands to stop her from further embarrassing our Leocadia Family.â
As long as they could force Sophia Leocadia out, Daphne Leocadiaâs influence would immediately be halved.
After all, most were hesitant, wondering what the situation would be like if Old Master Leocadia woke up.
In fact, should Old Master Leocadia recover, Sophia Leocadia was the most likely candidate to rise in power.
This was exactly why Natalia Leocadia was scheming to oust her.
âRight, is there any connection to this matter?â
âItâs unclear, but someone so close to Sophia Leocadia certainly canât be free from suspicion.â
âIf thatâs the case, then itâs truly an unfortunate scandal for our family.â
Everyone knew of the discord between the two siblings, and now, after what Natalia Leocadia said, everyoneâs gaze towards Daphne Leocadia changed.
In the family, interests are of utmost importance.
If this incident was indeed Daphne Leocadiaâs doing, then it undoubtedly harmed the familyâs interests.
Surely, no one would continue supporting him; they would instead turn towards Natalia Leocadia.
âRight and wrong, let everyone discern for themselves! Natalia Leocadia, your obstinate arrogance will ruin the Leocadia Family!â
Daphne Leocadia slowly sat down, trying to calm himself.
This was, after all, a family meeting, and not only Leocadia Family members were present, but also executives from the internal businesses of the group.
Continuing the argument would only undermine the dignity of the Leocadia Family.
âI warn you, according to what Sophia said, this man not only is skilled in combat but even Beckett Carmichael defers to him. I advise you to be careful with your words and actions, lest you end up dragging the Leocadia Family down!â
Daphne Leocadia said with composure.
Sophia had not mentioned Julius Reed killing a boatâs worth of people, merely that she had witnessed his formidable skills.
But a father knows his daughter best, and Daphne Leocadia had already guessed something.
At that moment, Natalia Leocadiaâs phone began to ring.
âYo! Looks like weâve succeeded with Karen.â
He boasted as he connected his phone to the big screen, establishing a video call with Karen.
