Both of them looked up and saw Burl Radcliffe and his wife returning from playing mahjong.

As Quella Radcliffe’s status rose, her old parents lived an increasingly comfortable life.

Apart from their fear of crosses with Zade Radcliffe, they didn’t even have to work—as soon as they were out of money, they would just ask Quella for more. Even Knox Ridge’s relatives began to extend their hands for money. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

If they refused to lend, Knox Ridge would create a commotion at home. Over time, the rest of the relatives who didn’t get the money felt disadvantaged and lined up to borrow money.

Although Quella was a chairman and had quite a lot of money, she wasn’t willing to give it to these idle people.

But she could not stand up to her own mother’s daily wailing and crying. During Julius Reed’s absence, those relatives became even more audacious, borrowing tens of thousands in total.

Even so, Knox Ridge and those relatives were still unsatisfied, even saying that Quella treated them like beggars.

Not only did Burl Radcliffe not stop them, but he also joined Knox Ridge in berating Quella.

Quella was a filial daughter after all, and had no choice but to lend the money. Because of these issues, she often cried alone secretly.

Even Cosmo couldn’t stand it, and if Quella hadn’t strongly stopped him, Cosmo would have wiped out these relatives long ago!

“Back already?”

Seeing the two, Julius Reed asked coldly.

If it weren’t for Quella’s parents, these two would have died countless times already.

Even without lifting a finger, there would have been plenty of people eager to finish off these two.

“Dad, Mom, we’re back.”

Quella forced a faint smile; after all, they were her biological parents, and she was powerless to change that.

Although they could be quite brazen, as their daughter, she had no choice but to endure, both emotionally and rationally.

“Ah… back already!”

Burl Radcliffe was somewhat startled because he didn’t expect Julius Reed to be back so soon.

During the son-in-law’s absence, the old couple had it extremely easy.

Knox Ridge even turned Julius Reed’s bedroom into a mahjong room, frequently bringing old friends over to play mahjong, acting as if she were the master of the house.

Quella was often working overtime at the company until late at night, which left her no time to care for the house, something that the old couple took full advantage of.

Now with Julius Reed’s return, Knox Ridge’s mood took an instant turn for the worse.

“Yo! Julius Reed, when did you get back?”

Knox Ridge slipped into her slippers, threw her bag onto the sofa, and leisurely strolled toward the dining room.

“Julius just got back.”

Quella quickly took over the conversation, as her parents considered Julius Reed to be just a freeloader, especially after she assumed the CEO position, which made Knox Ridge revert to her true aggressive nature.

During the time Julius Reed wasn’t home, the old couple tried persuading Quella to divorce, even suggesting that she take all of Julius Reed’s money and kick him out with nothing. “I wasn’t talking to you!”

Knox Ridge glared at Quella annoyedly. If only the girl would listen to her, the old couple could be enjoying their peaceful life right now.

Why bother feeling dependent on someone else’s charity!

“Julius Reed, your father and I have come back, can’t you see? I just asked you a question, why didn’t you answer!”

Knox Ridge sat at the dining table with a stern face, questioning him irritably.

From the first day Julius Reed entered their home, Knox Ridge had despised him to the core!

This conception had become deeply ingrained, and despite the growing conflicts, even after Julius Reed had demonstrated strong capabilities, the Ridge couple still looked down on him.

Even after Radley Ridge withdrew, they were still not satisfied; they looked all over for someone to replace Quella’s partner.

“I’m in a good mood today, I don’t want to argue with you.”

Julius Reed didn’t even glance at Knox Ridge, instead placed a chicken leg into Quella’s bowl.

“This is something my friend got from abroad, it tastes really good, and despite their wealth, many people can’t find it here in the country!”

“Then let me have a taste!”

Quella Radcliffe giggled and gently took a bite.

True to form, she couldn’t help but praise, “Julius, you’re amazing!”

It was, by all accounts, the best chicken leg she had ever eaten.

Although the ingredients were precious, provided by Miguel Abbott, Julius’s cooking skills were likewise exquisite.

Otherwise, even the finest ingredients would not make a delicious dish without a good chef.

“Hey! ”

Seeing herself ignored by the two, Knox Ridge slammed the table and exclaimed, “Don’t you have manners? We haven’t come back yet and you started eating without us. That’s so rude!”

She glanced at Julius and said sarcastically, “Our Quella has always been well-mannered. I don’t know when she started to be led astray! Disrespectful and completely lacking in propriety, it’s true what they say: ‘He that touches pitch shall be defiled.’

Burl Radcliffe saw her like this and hurriedly kicked her under the table.

Despite his wife’s strictness, he at least understood one thing: it was difficult to separate Quella and Julius.

Now the two of them were not like before but truly like a couple. This could be seen from the happy expression on Quella’s face; she was completely a woman in bliss.

Though reluctant to admit it, he had accepted the reality.

It’s only that his wife wouldn’t agree and insisted on splitting them up; he didn’t dare to say anything and had to let her have her way.

“Mom, please don’t speak so much!”

Quella said with a frown and then put a piece of meat into Julius’s bowl, “You’ve been working hard outside recently. From now on, I’ll go with you!”

“Mm!”

Julius nodded, not saying anything more.

Quella’s intention was clear; she wanted to divert the topic and ease the awkward atmosphere.

Others might not know the inside story, but she knew it crystal clear.

The things Julius did recently in Five-river Province were well understood by Quella through Cosmo.

Her parents causing trouble for Julius, what was that if not seeking their own doom?

But to Knox Ridge, it seemed like a blatant disregard for her authority as an elder.

The couple’s amiable and harmonious interaction was incredibly grating to her.

“Slap!”

With a slap on the table, Knox Ridge sternly scolded, “From today on, no one is allowed to eat until your father and I come back!”

She was looking for a reason to drive someone away, and this incident conveniently gave her an excuse.

“All right, calm down. Let’s eat for now. You’ve been playing mahjong all day and haven’t had anything to eat!”

Burl Radcliffe gently nudged Knox Ridge.

With that, plus the tantalizing food Julius had made, Knox Ridge’s stomach also began to rumble.

She had been only focused on getting angry before and hadn’t noticed the dishes on the table.

Upon looking, it didn’t matter that she had lived so many years; she actually started to drool.

This wasn’t because Knox Ridge lacked experience, but rather Julius’s cooking was simply too delicious. In addition, the ingredients were extremely rare deep-sea creatures, giving off a unique fragrance.

“Hmph! This isn’t over!”

After saying that, Knox Ridge picked up the chopsticks on the table, ready to give it a try.

“Hold on, who said you could eat?”

Just as her chopsticks touched the food, Julius’s voice came through coldly..
