“This is…”

She blinked her eyes, not knowing what this meant for a moment.

“It’s simple, your grandfather wants your parents to lure you to the hospital.”

Julius Reed walked up to the head of the bed, unceremoniously picked up a bunch of grapes, and started eating them with relish.

“Lure me there for what?”

Quella Radcliffe still couldn’t understand; she had gone through too much in just a half-hour, and her brain couldn’t catch up.

“Today, two wealthy businessmen from Five-river Province, Stanislaus Potter and Miguel Abbott, returned to the Radcliffe Group for a visit. If you were there, naturally, you, the chairman, would greet them.”

As he said this, Julius Reed tossed a grape into his mouth, “But if you’re not there, who among those present will become the representative?”

“Grandfather?”

Quella Radcliffe instantly understood Julius Reed’s point.

Today, Zade Radcliffe brought the head of Beineng Electronics to the Radcliffe Group, and if she, the chairman, was not there, as a family enterprise, naturally Zade Radcliffe, the Clan Leader, would receive the two honored guests.

In that case, the task of acquiring Radcliffe Group and reaching cooperation with the two big businesses would fall on Zade Radcliffe’s shoulders.

The Radcliffe Group, although developing well under Quella Radcliffe’s management, was after all a local enterprise, and compared to larger companies, it was still smaller in scale.

“Dad, Mom. Is it really like this?”

Quella Radcliffe held her phone, stared straight at Knox Ridge and Burl Radcliffe.

“This… ah! We dare not defy your grandfather’s wishes! And you know, Old Master Radcliffe and Otis Radcliffe are now among the controllers of Beineng Electronics, and the next step is to acquire Radcliffe Group. We dare not fail to cooperate, and moreover, this is for your own good.”

Knox Ridge, accepting the inevitable, started to play the emotional card, “Old Master Radcliffe is unstoppable now. Once he successfully acquires Radcliffe Group, the next step is to deal with you! Everything we do is for your good!”

“Yes! Your mother and I have the best intentions, all for you. Quella, give it up, you cannot win against Old Master Radcliffe!”

Burl Radcliffe chimed in from beside her.

“Fine! From today on, you don’t need to worry about my affairs!”

Snap!

Quella Radcliffe threw her phone on the floor and left the hospital room.

“More trouble than help.”

Julius Reed shook his head, watching the bewildered couple, then turned to follow Quella Radcliffe.

When he went outside, he found Quella Radcliffe sitting on the steps, crying.

“Come on! Look at all these people coming and going; they’ll think I’m bullying you if they don’t know any better.”

Julius Reed sat down on the ground, pulled out an apple, and quickly started peeling it with a small knife he had taken from his waist.

Five seconds later, a peeled apple was placed in front of Quella Radcliffe.

“Where’s it from?”

Quella Radcliffe smiled through her tears, took the apple, and bit into it voraciously.

“Stolen from your mom. After putting me through that, I should at least collect a little interest.”

As he spoke, Julius Reed pulled out a bunch of grapes from his sleeve, “These grapes aren’t bad, I must say, your parents do know how to enjoy life!”

“Twelve, it’s definitely too late to rush back now.”

Quella Radcliffe glanced at her watch; it was ten-thirty, and the two bosses should have just arrived at Radcliffe Group.

“Grandfather is really ruthless, with that one move to draw the tiger away from the mountain, he completely sidelined me.”

Quella Radcliffe was somewhat disheartened.

Beineng Electronics was indeed very strong, but not yet strong enough to directly swallow Radcliffe Group.

But if Moonlight Group and Golden Eagle Group intervened, the situation would become quite different.

“What’s there to fear? I’ll tell them to go back. If your grandfather uses the tactic of drawing the tiger away from the mountain, then I’ll undermine him at the base!”

Julius Reed took out his phone, flashing a mischievous smile in front of Quella Radcliffe.

“Pfft!”

Quella Radcliffe couldn’t help but laugh, “Twelve, I’m really curious, what kind of person are you, exactly?”

An unknown son-in-law who has kept a low profile for three years.

Ever since Old Master Radcliffe’s birthday, the son-in-law who had joined the family became even more mysterious after they had a conversation that day.

It was only Gonzalez City he stirred up initially, but now, even the wealthy businessmen of Five-river Province were connected to him.

At the Willson Group banquet last time, Quella Radcliffe had personally witnessed those businessmen nodding and bowing in front of Julius Reed.

The very picture of servility.

“I am your husband, you know!”

Julius Reed chuckled and hugged Quella Radcliffe tightly in his arms.

…

Radcliffe Group.

“Mr. Abbott, Boss Potter!”

Zade Radcliffe eyed the line of cars parked at the group’s entrance and quickly walked over to greet them.

Meanwhile, behind him, the CEO of Beineng Electronics silently followed, not advancing a step further.

It was clear to everyone that Miguel Abbott and Stanislaus Potter’s inspection was to pay respect to the Radcliffe Family.

“Old Master Radcliffe, it’s an honor—a true honor!”

After getting out of their cars, Miguel Abbott and Stanislaus Potter shook Zade Radcliffe’s hand enthusiastically, exchanging pleasantries.

“Where is Chairman Radcliffe?”

Looking around, they couldn’t spot Quella Radcliffe anywhere.

Logically, for such a significant event, Quella Radcliffe, as the chairman of Radcliffe Group, should have been present.

But even though she wasn’t there, neither dared to ask—after all, she was Julius Reed’s wife!

Miguel Abbott was now one of Julius Reed’s staunchest followers, and Stanislaus Potter was halfway there.

The reason they were here for this inspection today was to curry favor with Julius Reed.

“My granddaughter had commitments today and couldn’t receive you esteemed guests, which I hope you can forgive. But rest assured, it was I, Zade Radcliffe, who founded the Radcliffe Group years ago and as the clan leader, these people all listen to me,” Zade Radcliffe said animatedly, pointing at the employees.

“If Chairman Radcliffe is busy, we won’t insist. The old master and the chairman are family; it’s all the same who receives us!”

Miguel Abbott looked towards Stanislaus Potter: “Boss Potter, wouldn’t you agree?”

“Absolutely! Family is family! It doesn’t matter who we meet,” Stanislaus Potter replied, not foolish enough to have any objections.

“Please, this way,” Zade Radcliffe said quickly, gesturing them inside with a ‘please’ motion.

Their attitudes took him somewhat by surprise; he had thought that the absence of the chairman might upset such distinguished guests.

Yet unexpectedly, Miguel Abbott and Stanislaus Potter, usually so proud, turned out to be so easygoing and didn’t pursue the matter of Quella Radcliffe’s absence.

In any other company, such an absence would have been seen as a slight and the CEOs would have just turned around and left.

Especially since a few months ago, Stanislaus Potter had launched a corporate war against the Radcliffe Group, attempting to take over the company.

“Please! You’re too courteous, Old Master Radcliffe,” the two said, offering each other the right of way as they walked toward the main entrance of Radcliffe Group.

“Grandpa, that move was brilliant!” Otis Radcliffe quietly raised his thumb in approval behind them while his gaze towards Dempsey Davenport and others was full of provocation.

“Heh! A green girl trying to compete with me?” Zade Radcliffe scoffed disdainfully, “Do you really think I’ve wasted the last few decades living like a dog?”

Ding ling ling!

Just then, Miguel Abbott’s phone began to ring.

“It’s Mr. Reed’s call,” he said to Stanislaus Potter before answering the phone promptly.

“Turn back, come another day,” Julius Reed’s voice came from the phone.
