Chapter 449: Chapter 449 Debt Collection Visits_1
Julius Reed returned home and saw Cosmo squatting at the front gate.
“Master is back?”
She quickly stood up and walked toward Julius Reed.
“How is it, are you all right?”
Julius Reed asked very hypocritically.
“I know what you want to ask, my mother-in-law is fine, safe and sound! I’m fine too!”
Cosmo snorted coldly and pursed her lips.
She knew her master too well.
How could he show such solicitude without a reason? He certainly wanted to inquire about Quella Radcliffe’s comfort, but thinking of her own battle-hardened struggles, he probably felt he had to feign concern first.
“Don’t say that, you’re my good disciple indeed!”
Julius Reed said hypocritically once again.
In fact, he was truly concerned about Quella Radcliffe.
No one could hurt Cosmo, she’s too strong.
“A few small-time thieves, probably didn’t expect me to be so formidable. They didn’t even get through the door before I killed them all,”
Cosmo said, shaking her head in resignation as she brushed off her hands.
Too weak to withstand a single blow!
“No survivors?”
Julius Reed walked with her toward the house.
“No survivors! They were all dead set on dying, having taken poison before coming, guaranteed to die within half an hour,”
Cosmo responded with a shrug.
She would have liked to catch some alive!
But were there any survivors?
The enemy was prepared to die!
“They didn’t plan to kidnap her?”
Julius Reed frowned slightly, “The order they were given was to kidnap!”
“Impossible, it was clearly murder they were after! Clearly, they came prepared to die,”
Cosmo replied.
“Alright! Let’s go inside and see,”
When Julius Reed pushed open the door, he saw a bag of instant noodles at the entrance.
And a washboard.
“You’re back?”
Hearing the door open, Quella Radcliffe walked out from inside, looking at Julius Reed coldly.
“Wife, I’m back,”
Julius Reed took off his shoes and prepared to enter the house.
Seeing his wife unharmed, he was relieved.
The specifics about Stacy Cook and the Wolf Cavalry going to the capital to investigate were merely a matter of time.
“Before you come in, take a look at those two things at the door and choose which is more suitable for you,”
Quella Radcliffe glanced at Julius Reed with a very calm expression.
Something was off!
This was Julius Reed’s most genuine thought!
Lately, he and Quella Radcliffe had been getting along harmoniously, living like a real married couple.
But today’s attitude, it was as if they had regressed to six months ago?
After all the efforts over half a year, back to square one overnight?
“Wife, what do you mean?”
Julius Reed asked again.
“Choose one for yourself, and kneel for half an hour first. If you’re not willing, then just leave, there are plenty of women outside,” Quella Radcliffe said with a face full of jealousy, “Surely, there will be some willing to keep you, and then you can live a carefree and indulgent life!”
Saying this, Quella Radcliffe turned her face away, unwilling to look at Julius Reed any longer.
“Damn it! This…”
Julius Reed stood there, in a dilemma of advancing or retreating.
He was the Young Master of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, after all!
The top in the world!
And at this moment, Cosmo stood beside Quella Radcliffe with her lips pursed, smiling.
“You two, what’s so funny…”
Just as Julius Reed was about to step out, he saw Quella Radcliffe’s expression darken!
“Forget kneeling; I’ll just go stay somewhere else!”
Just as she was about to turn around, Julius Reed could only sigh and slowly kneel on the washboard.
You can’t kneel on instant noodles.
They break too easily.
And if they break, you have to kneel on a whole box.
“Wife, I’m quite heavy; what if the washboard breaks? That’s money too!”
Julius Reed guessed most of it in his heart, but he could only helplessly take a roundabout way to save the situation.
Meanwhile, he cursed Itai Huntington half to death in his heart.
It must have been because of this incident, otherwise Quella Radcliffe’s change in attitude wouldn’t have been so drastic!
“Hmph, you have money anyway! From today on, all your bank cards, cash, and even your cell phone, surrender them all!”
Quella Radcliffe came up to Julius Reed with a stern face and stretched out a hand.
“Fine, my ancestor, surely some bastard badmouthed me in front of you, and if I find out who, I will definitely tear their mouth!”
Julius Reed placed the cell phone into Quella Radcliffe’s hand.
Besides that, his cards had long been with Quella Radcliffe.
There wasn’t a single cash note to speak of.
Green and healthy transportation, no need for such paper currency.
“Master, who are you scolding?”
Cosmo said with a frown.
“When did I say you…”
As he spoke, Julius Reed suddenly realized, pointing at Cosmo with gritted teeth, “I just knew it, how could your mistress find out about this so quickly! It turns out you were the spy!”
It seems like Quella Radcliffe had been incited by Cosmo to punish him like this.
“Mistress! Master is bullying me!”
Cosmo ran to Quella Radcliffe’s side and started acting coquettishly.
The two had gotten along for a long time and had a very good relationship, almost like sisters.
“He dares! If he hadn’t done something guilty, why would he be scared like this! Pah, even widows are not spared!”
Quella Radcliffe spit out a mouthful with a flushed face.
“Wife, are you jealous?”
Julius Reed asked happily.
If Quella Radcliffe was jealous, it meant there were feelings between them.
“Pah! What do I have to be jealous about! I’m worried that you’ve offended Itai Huntington and got our entire Radcliffe Family involved!”
Quella Radcliffe said one thing but meant another.
She was indeed jealous!
Her own husband was rumored to be involved with another woman, and the gossip spread far and wide, with people saying Julius Reed was Itai Huntington’s favored man in bed and that they even slept together!
What was Quella Radcliffe supposed to think?
Even though she believed Julius Reed was not that kind of person.
But rumors are dreadful!
Flies do not bite a seamless egg, and it was this fool himself who committed the mistake!
Otherwise, why would the widow have set her sights on him?
“I’m really wronged!”
Julius Reed sighed.
Life was too hard for him!
At the shooting range, Itai Huntington besmirched him, and his reputation was tarnished!
On the streets, Dempsey Davenport claimed she was pregnant with his child, Julius Reed was at home and the child came from the sky!
And now!
He was misunderstood by his own wife!
He was truly wronged!
“Master, just stop making excuses!”
Cosmo added fuel to the fire, “Men should admit their mistakes when they mess up, if you admit it, the mistress won’t make things hard for you.”
“Pah! Cosmo, I’ll remember this incident!”
How could he admit to something like this?
Julius Reed said through clenched teeth, “I am innocent!”
Once he admitted it, he would never be able to shake off the blame!
“Itai Huntington is not someone to be trifled with! Be careful!”
Quella Radcliffe said coldly, “Hand over the washboard, I’m going to do the laundry!”
“Thank you, wife!”
Julius Reed quickly presented it with both hands, handing over the washboard to her!
Quella Radcliffe was softhearted and couldn’t stand seeing Julius Reed aggrieved.
Her actions today were more about getting him to stay away from Itai Huntington.
The men who got close to the deadly widow all ended up in a terrible state.
Just then, Quella Radcliffe’s phone suddenly rang.
“It’s mom’s call.”
After looking at the caller ID, she picked up the phone.
“Daughter, the debt collectors are at the door! Hurry and save me! At our old house!”
Knox Ridge’s anxious voice came through, and the faces of the three people in the room all changed.
