Chapter 79: Chapter 78 Stand Up_1

Translator: 549690339

“Old Master, today we must make those two crawl out of here!”

Tess Radcliffe sat beside the seat, her face full of rage. Within the Radcliffe Family, she always took pleasure in bullying Quella Radcliffe and had spared no opportunity to mock Julius Reed over the past three years.

But now, as Quella and Julius Reed were getting closer, she naturally felt jealous. Once a woman becomes jealous, it can be quite terrifying.

People like Tess simply couldn’t stand to see others succeeding.

And this time, Otis Radcliffe got beaten up, which provided them with a legitimate opportunity to suppress Quella.

After all, the Radcliffe Family is also a major clan; driving out their own granddaughter and grandson-in-law without a reason would be quite damaging to the reputation of the Group.

The fact that Julius Reed saved Zade Radcliffe was almost common knowledge in Gonzalez City, so what would people think then?

“Don’t worry, my grandson won’t be taking this beating for nothing.”

Upon hearing Tess’s words, Zade Radcliffe’s face became even more somber. Otis was his preferred successor and the future hope of the Radcliffe Family.

Yet Julius Reed, an outsider, dared to seriously injure his own grandson in front of all the shareholders.

Now that fate had given him a chance for revenge, Zade Radcliffe decided to vent all his fury.

“Family Head, breaking news, Golden Eagle Group has already prepared two billion! Our stocks are expected to plummet in five minutes!”

A secretary was tapping away at a laptop.

‘Good! I want to see how they can still be arrogant!”

Zade Radcliffe pushed up the glasses on his nose, and a cold gleam suddenly flashed through his murky eyes.

“Everyone’s here, I see!”

Just then, Julius Reed pushed open the conference room door and walked in with Quella.

He was now Quella’s secretary, and he fully qualified to be there.

However, not long ago, he was a useless man who was the butt of jokes. This tremendous contrast made many in the Radcliffe Family uncomfortable.

But what could they do if Otis Radcliffe, even as the General Manager, was beaten to near death? No one dared speak out loud due to the twenty billion penalty fee held over their heads by Titan Group.

Zade Radcliffe regretted his actions now, wishing he hadn’t been so hot-headed and overlooked the details when signing the contract with Titan Group—how could he have let it come to this!

But fortunately, heaven seemed to be watching; Julius Reed, that fool who didn’t know whether he was alive or dead, had offended the Potter Family. The move by Golden Eagle Group just happened to free the Radcliffe Group from the twenty billion breach of contract penalty.

“Julius Reed, you’re nothing but a grasshopper after autumn. You won’t be hopping for much longer!”

Now that Otis Radcliffe held all the cards, his tone was also much tougher than before.

“Since everybody’s here, let’s start the meeting.”

As he looked at his granddaughter and her husband, Zade Radcliffe whispered in a hushed tone with a secretary by his side.

Not knowing what the secretary had said, a hint of joy appeared on Zade Radcliffe’s face.

“Family Head, could you please move over? This is the Chairman’s seat, and you shouldn’t forget that Quella is now the Chairman,”

Julius Reed walked up behind Zade Radcliffe and asked with a smile.

As for Otis’s provocation, he chose to completely ignore it. Was there anything more dismissive than ignoring someone?

Despite the fact that their conflict had escalated to open hostility, Julius Reed’s words still caused quite a stir.

Within the Radcliffe Family, the Family Head’s word was law; he wielded the ultimate authority.

For decades, no one had ever dared to speak to him in this manner.

Everyone fell silent, waiting to see how Zade Radcliffe would respond.

“Young man, don’t you know it’s wise to leave some room for maneuver?”

Being forced to give up his seat in front of everyone turned Zade Radcliffe’s face black with anger. Even if he was not the Chairman now, who in this room truly didn’t regard him as such?

Even if he held no position within the company, no one dared ignore his words!

That was the power of authority—the authority of the Family Head!

But now, someone was publicly challenging his authority!

Zade Radcliffe, who had been dominant in the business world for decades, couldn’t swallow this humiliation!

He remained seated in his chair, not moving an inch.

“Julius, let it be… If Grandpa likes it, let him sit. After all, he’s the only one who has ever sat in this chair for decades…

Quella discreetly tugged at Julius Reed’s arm and shook her head, signaling to let it go.

Seeing this gesture, Zade Radcliffe’s face finally softened a little. “Young man, you must know when to advance or retreat!”

He hummed lightly, looking at the Radcliffe family members with a triumphant gaze. It was as if he was saying, even if I’m not the chairman, no one dares to ignore my words!

“Rules are rules! The Chairman is supposed to sit here! May I ask the old man, in all the years you were Chairman, did you ever let someone else sit here?”

Julius Reed had no intention of giving up; instead, he stood in the conference room and loudly questioned.

Although his voice wasn’t loud, the conference room was so quiet that you could hear everyone’s breathing.

“You…”

“What about me? Is the old man leading by breaking the rules? A corporation should look like a corporation!”

Julius Reed cut him off directly, placing his left hand on Zade Radcliffe’s shoulder and forcefully lifting the old man up!

“What are you doing!”

Seeing him get physical, the faces of the Radcliffe family members drastically changed.

The old man had a fiery temper, what he said was law! Moreover, Zade Radcliffe placed great importance on face; he valued his reputation more than anything!

Now, in front of the Radcliffe family, as Julius Reed lifted the old man, it terrified the family members to the point that their scalps went numb.

“I’m doing nothing, just inviting the old man to where he should be!” Julius Reed loosened his left hand and pushed Zade Radcliffe towards the door.

“You’re looking for death!”

Watching this scene, Otis Radcliffe was so angry that he ground his teeth!

“Oh? Looking to get beaten up again?”

With just a glance, Julius Reed intimidated him into silence.

The pain from the day before remained unforgettable. The doctor outright forbade him from leaving the hospital, but to see Julius Reed thrown out of the group with his own eyes, he endured the severe pain and returned to the Radcliffe Group.

“How dare you!”

It was only then that Zade Radcliffe recovered his wits. He was shaking all over with anger, and pointing at Julius Reed with trembling hands, he said viciously, “Boy, you’re playing with fire!”

He had never imagined that someone would dare lift him up right in front of everyone.

“Sit!”

Julius Reed pulled Quella Radcliffe over and pressed her into the Chairman’s seat, then looked up and said, “Old man, what is your position within the group?”

Faced with this question, Zade Radcliffe was suddenly at a loss for words.

He was originally the Chairman, but now due to contract issues, he had relinquished his position to Quella Radcliffe. So, theoretically speaking, he was merely a shareholder.

However, he had long ago transferred his shares to Otis Radcliffe, so now he was nothing more than a non-employee without any shares of the Radcliffe Group.

“According to the rules, you shouldn’t be here.”

Julius Reed smiled faintly, his eyes brimming with provocation.

“You… you!”

Zade Radcliffe was so angry he couldn’t speak; his face turned ashen, and his lips turned purple with rage.

Not a single person from the Radcliffe family dared to speak up.

Because what Julius Reed said was reasonable, especially with Otis Radcliffe as a warning example. Who would dare to defy?

“However, considering the old man’s status, President Radcliffe has decided to give you a chair. Sit down, and you can stay. If you don’t sit, please leave!”

No sooner had his words finished than security brought in a small stool from outside the door.

A tiny stool only twenty centimeters tall.

Humiliation, pure and simple!

Zade Radcliffe was so angry he was nearly exploding, and his teeth chattered with rage.

“Old man, it’s your decision to stay or go.” The corners of Julius Reed’s mouth gently curled up.

“Fine! I’ll sit!”

Thinking of the scene that would follow soon, Zade Radcliffe steeled his heart and sat down on the stool with a smile!

Because in less than half an hour, this couple would be sent packing, humiliated!
