Chapter 554: Chapter 554 Showing Off Wealth_1
“Who are you!”
Jack Lau and Thompson hadn’t expected someone to spring out of nowhere.
But when they saw the woman beside Julius Reed, they understood.
That was the husband of the other great beauty from just now.
That was the unemployed husband that Thompson had been thinking about incessantly in his mind.
The two of them couldn’t help but lament that indeed, this man had the skills to be kept by a woman.
So handsome that even men felt envious.
“Sir, just now this beautiful and charming lady here accidentally broke the birthday present my friend Jack bought for his mother,” Thompson began with great momentum.
As a man himself, at least he was the son of a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, facing a youngster who only knew how to live off a woman, he intended to crush him directly!
“Really? But why did I see the two of you sneaking around behind her, intentionally breaking the jade bracelet?”
Julius Reed had his hands in his pockets, smiling at Thompson.
This poor trick, he saw through it at a glance.
Quella Radcliffe had wanted to come over, but Julius Reed stopped her, precisely because he wanted to see the real intentions of these two men.
As expected.
Beasts in human clothing, all just to sleep with Anna Harris.
“Don’t spout nonsense! Be careful, or I’ll sue you!”
Thompson’s face darkened; he hadn’t expected his ploy to be seen through!
But the bracelet was indeed broken, and no one could say for certain how it happened.
Even if they called the police, they would be more likely to side with them.
“Go ahead and call the police, weren’t you two about to do that? Call them right now, or else I really will look down on both of you,” Julius Reed continued to say leisurely, his eyes slowly filling with disdain.
“Julius, if we really call the cops, Anna will have to go to prison!”
Quella Radcliffe said urgently.
Such a large sum, if she couldn’t pay, she would definitely end up in jail.
As her best friend, Quella Radcliffe couldn’t just watch Anna Harris go to prison and eat jail food.
If it really came down to it, she’d rather ask Julius Reed to lend her some money.
Anyway, the priority was to save Anna Harris first.
“Heh, look at this lady, she’s not like you at all, brainless!”
Thompson actually didn’t dare to call the police.
The bracelet wasn’t worth much, just a few hundred bucks.
If the police really did come, and if they ended up getting charged with extortion, it would be more trouble than it’s worth.
After all, the incident happened in the crystal exhibition hall, which was the most upscale place within an exhibition hosted by the Leocadia Family.
Everyone who could come in was wealthy, so naturally, nothing inside would be cheap.
“Really? I’m telling you to call the cops, so do it!”
Julius Reed raised an eyebrow at the two American men in front of him, continuously provoking them with his words.
“Julius Reed, what great grudge do you have against me that you insist on sending me to prison…”
Anna Harris’s face was filled with grievances.
To say she wasn’t afraid of going to prison was nonsense.
Who wouldn’t be afraid?
Who would be willing to spend their best years in a dark, sunless prison?
She looked resentfully at Julius Reed, filled with hatred!
“Julius, stop messing around! Anna may always be against you, but isn’t that because you did something to wrong me? Be serious now, and save her first.”
Quella Radcliffe lightly pinched Julius Reed’s arm.
This left Julius Reed at a loss for words.
“So it seems you all think I’m taking revenge on her? Fine, let’s not call the police now, just let her and the Jack in front of her go have kids. What a great solution! Here, I’ll give you a red envelope in advance, wishing you a marriage that lasts a century.”
Having said that, he took out two hundred dollars from his pocket and stuffed it into Anna Harris’s hand.
This unexpected gesture sent Anna Harris into tears with a loud “waah.”
She didn’t want to get married, nor did she want to end up in jail.
Why was she so unlucky today!
She got into an argument over buying a necklace, got electrocuted at the crystal exhibition, and now even taking a photo was causing trouble.
What was wrong with her.
“Stop it!”
When Quella Radcliffe saw Anna Harris cry, she hurriedly pushed Julius Reed, “Husband, think of something, please.”
“Hehe!”
This address of “husband” was particularly satisfying for Julius Reed.
“Isn’t there a solution already! Call the police! Let him call the police! Excuse my bluntness, but before we even discuss what this crappy bracelet is worth, the bracelet itself was placed behind Anna Harris just waiting for her to turn around so they could extort her!”
Julius Reed looked coldly at the two American men in front of him, “If we’re calling the police, let’s start by detaining them as fraudsters!”
“Nonsense! Sir, we respect you and understand that you want to help your friend, but you cannot falsely accuse us!”
Thompson became infuriated, pointing to the broken bracelet, “Do you know who I am! I am Thompson, and my father is the president of Oberon Enterprise. If you don’t know that this bracelet is worth one hundred and thirty million, then I can only say that poverty has limited your imagination.”
He looked down on Julius Reed with contempt, “The world of us wealthy people is not something that you poor people can understand!”
In his view, such a person was nothing more than a ruffian.
Always idle, relying on his face to get by, while he himself was born into wealth and genuine talent, how could he be intimidated by a little hoodlum?
“Exactly! Lady, I really feel sorry for you, marrying such a husband!”
Jack Lau added insult to injury, “If you don’t understand the world of the rich, then please don’t spout nonsense!”
His eyes were also filled with disdain.
What was his own status compared to that of this poor person?
“You’re saying, I am a poor person?”
Julius Reed pointed to himself, asking with a chuckle.
“That’s right! In our eyes, you are poor!”
Jack Lau jeered, looking Julius Reed up and down, “Do you know, my pocket money each year is five hundred million, and he, Thompson! He spends two billion every year!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Why even bother telling him this, for a poor person like him, he doesn’t even know what two billion represents,” Thompson mocked without any courtesy.
“Alright! Gentlemen of wealth, I am a poor man, but may I have the honor to compare wealth with you?”
Julius Reed asked with a beaming smile.
“Showing off your skills in the presence of an expert? Haha! That’s really killing me with laughter!”
Jack Lau was first taken aback, then burst into loud laughter.
“Don’t disgrace yourself; in my eyes, your entire net worth is not even worth mentioning.”
Thompson also spoke disdainfully.
“How about this then, we buy things in the exhibition hall, and for each item we buy, we smash one. Whoever can’t afford to smash any more has to kneel down and call ‘Daddy’, how about that?”
Julius Reed pointed to the display case and said, “At the same time, act like a dog and crawl around the room. I’ll treat you two as one, is that okay?”
“Alright!”
Thompson agreed without hesitation.
He wanted to humiliate Julius Reed so that Quella Radcliffe would be disappointed, and then he would have his chance.
“Salesperson, this is my card! Now, for every item I buy, swipe it for the money!”
Julius Reed passed a card to the salesperson.
“This is mine!”
Jack Lau also handed out a card.
Now, Thompson didn’t even have to step in.
He could handle this poor person by himself.
What do you think?
