Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 518: 518

“Mr. Cook is so composed, who on earth did he invite?”

“I don’t know. But it must be someone bigger than Nando Brandon, otherwise why would Mr. Cook be all smiles and confidence, looking like he has an ace up his sleeve?”

“Bigger than Nando Brandon? Nando Brandon just happened to pass through Gonzalez City, and that’s how Quella Radcliffe got the chance to discuss the contract with him. If it’s someone even more significant, they’d have to go to the capital or the magic capital, but as far as I know, Bran Cook hasn’t left Gonzalez City at all, which means he hasn’t done anything.”

Seeing how calmly Bran Cook carried himself, people once again started to talk.

This bet, Bran Cook was clearly determined to win!

Previously, the chairman’s position that originally belonged to him was snatched away by Itai Huntington, and then the manager position also went to Quella Radcliffe.

As the original initiator of the business alliance, Bran Cook had suffered a crushing defeat. He was now making every effort to pull Quella Radcliffe down from that position, and then take over.

This time, it was his best opportunity.

Not only could he rightfully take back his position, but he could also disgrace Quella Radcliffe and completely remove her foundation in Gonzalez City.

A promise worth its weight in gold – for a merchant, losing integrity means losing everything.

When the time came, even if Willson Group wanted to get involved, they would have to consider the face of the merchants in Gonzalez City.

“Welcome Mr. Nando Brandon.”

Itai Huntington led the applause.

Although she personally disliked the androgynous attire, the market demanded it, and as a businessperson, she rarely let personal preferences interfere with her work.

Watching Nando Brandon walk over slowly, Bran Cook couldn’t express how delighted he was inside.

He seemed to have already imagined how ugly Quella Radcliffe’s face would look when faced with the reversal.

She might even wish she could find a hole to crawl into, and he, would kick her when she was down!

“Miss Radcliffe, why don’t we raise the stakes?”

At the chairman’s podium, Bran Cook suddenly spoke.

“Raise the stakes? Who did Bran Cook invite? To dare to raise the stakes at such a time, he must have an ace that he hasn’t played yet!”

“But I’ve checked recently, and none of those big-name celebrities have come to Gonzalez City! And according to my people, the biggest name that has appeared in Gonzalez City recently is Nando Brandon.”

“Just watch, there’ll be excitement today!”

The people below became excited after hearing what Bran Cook said.

“The terms of your bet have already been set in advance, Bran Cook, you two just need to follow the original agreement, why raise the stakes?”

After Itai Huntington finished speaking, she had a foreboding feeling.

Since Bran Cook dared to speak like this, based on her understanding of this young man, he must be holding a winning hand, wanting to win even more thoroughly.

“Everyone knows that Miss Radcliffe and I have some unsettled affairs, and with her… heh, her pathetic loser of a husband, I have a deep-seated grudge!”

Bran Cook sneered, hands in his pockets: “I am a man of honor, I don’t speak in riddles, I intend to settle this grudge today.”

At these words, the discussion below flared up again.

“Mr. Cook is really turning his back on Quella Radcliffe!”

“In that case, Mr. Cook must be confident he can win, otherwise he wouldn’t be so forceful!”

“I’ve had enough of that Radcliffe woman; it’s a good time to put her in her place and let her know that not everyone can sit in the manager’s seat!”

Many of Bran Cook’s supporters below were secretly relishing the moment.

Quella Radcliffe sitting in the general manager’s seat had been a significant blow to them.

In the previous discussions on the business alliance policy, Quella Radcliffe had clearly favored small and medium-sized enterprises.

This was not friendly to these oligarchs.

Therefore, they had been scheming to topple Radcliffe, and now the opportunity had come, they were excited.

And very much looking forward to it.

“Between you and me,” Quella Radcliffe looked at Bran Cook, very calmly said, “there are no real conflicts. It’s just that you shamelessly harassed me, and my husband, he simply helped me drive away those annoying flies, that’s all.”

“You…”

Bran Cook’s face darkened, but then quickly resumed smiling, “Good! Good! Good! No matter what you say, I just have one question for you, do you dare to raise the stakes! Today, right here on the stage of Five-state International, we’ll settle our grievances once and for all!”

What Quella Radcliffe said was the truth; it all started with his coveting of Quella Radcliffe’s beauty, even going so far as to contact her parents, wanting to use various connections to get his hands on her.

But what he had never expected was that after he had launched the entrepreneurs of Gonzalez City to isolate the Radcliffe Group, forcing them into financial crisis in preparation for his dream marriage proposal, Julius Reed outshone him completely!

And following that, he was humiliated time and again.

This was a humiliation that Bran Cook could not swallow!

He wanted revenge!

To let Quella Radcliffe and Julius Reed lose their reputations and live in Gonzalez City like dogs!

Only then would he feel relieved.

“Mr. Cook, this is the Gonzalez City Business Alliance; our purpose for collaborating is to make more money, not to serve as a tool for your personal vendettas!”

Itai Huntington said in a cold tone, then turned to Quella Radcliffe, “You can totally refuse these unreasonable requests. After all, it has been agreed upon that today is only about confirming the managing director’s position, not about a fight to the death.”

Regardless, Quella Radcliffe was Julius Reed’s wife.

And she knew just how formidable Julius Reed was, not to mention the fact that they were business allies; she had reasons to stand up for Quella Radcliffe on certain occasions.

“Since Sister Huntington has spoken, I shouldn’t really say anything.”

With Itai Huntington’s intervention, Bran Cook felt resentful inside, but was forced to back down!

This widow, he could not afford to provoke her for the time being.

“Hold on!”

Just then, Julius Reed emerged from the crowd, slowly making his way to the stage.

“Who is this guy?”

“What’s he doing up there?”

“That’s Quella Radcliffe’s good-for-nothing husband, Julius Reed!”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Upon seeing Julius Reed take the stage, many from Gonzalez City were surprised; they had only heard his name, but no one had actually seen what Julius Reed looked like.

His reputation was well-known, but his face was not.

But there were a few who recognized him.

The only person known for beating Bran Cook so badly that he was left looking for his teeth all over the ground seemed to be this one man in Gonzalez City.

“Julius Reed?”

Seeing Julius Reed standing on the stage, Bran Cook felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.

It wasn’t for any other reason except that every time he saw Julius Reed, he would end up being turned around against the wind.

And he would lose miserably.

In other words, he was beaten to the point of fear.

Even now, when he had an absolute advantage and was practically guaranteed victory, he still subconsciously felt fear.

“Me? I’m, of course, here to raise the stakes with you,” Julius Reed said grinning at Bran Cook. “Actually, I do feel a bit guilty. The grandiose Mr. Cook was beaten by me as if he were a dog, begging on his knees for mercy.”

After saying that, he took out a remote from his pocket and lightly pressed it.

“Wow!”

On the big screen that was originally set up to warmly celebrate the first general meeting of the Business Alliance, a scene suddenly appeared of Bran Cook being beaten and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy!
