โIs it you?โ ๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ.๐๐๐ช
When Miguel Abbott saw Julius Reed, a smile instantly appeared on his face.
But this smile was quickly concealed, replaced by an air of indifference.
Since the other party had shown up at the Pearl on the Water, it meant that his supreme card had taken effect, and moreover, the other party had found it quite useful.
Though extorted for tens of billions, to Miguel Abbott, that was chump change.
Money lost can be earned back, but such opportunities do not come often.
Being able to press several tycoons to the ground with oneโs power, how could he be an ordinary person?
Observing the scene before him, his mind instantly understood what was going on.
This gentleman must have been restless after getting off the plane and stepped on Atlas Leopold right away.
And it occurred in his own hotel.
Indeed, he was facing a dilemma, but it was also an opportunity.
His prior intent to play both sides now seemed unfeasible.
He was left with only two paths.
Either stand with Atlas Leopold, thereby wasting all his previous efforts, with the tens of billions thrown away for nothing,
Or if he sided with Julius Reed, it pretty much meant standing against all the tycoons, clearly declaring war with the other families!
โNot bad, thinking of coming over to Boss Abbott for a complimentary dinner, but it seems, this meal is not easy to enjoy!โ
Julius Reed sat with one leg crossed over the other, his face revealing an enigmatic smile.
To Miguel Abbott, that smile was pregnant with meaning.
โHow can you speak to the Chairman like that?โ
Bald Abbott, who had just sent Haddon Michael back, pointed at Julius Reed, his tone laced with indifference.
Miguel Abbott, as the chairman of Moonlight Group and one of the top ten wealthiest individuals,
Demanded respect from everyone, who had to greet him deferentially as Boss Abbott.
But now this youngster, having struck Atlas Leopold, was also talking to his boss with such a tone.
In Allenโs mind, he had already resolved to deal with this young man.
Slap!
What he didnโt expect was that the previously unflappable Miguel Abbott would slap him across the face, bellowing furiously, โGet out of here!โ
โYesโฆ Boss!โ
Allen, clutching his face, hastily bent over and scurried away.
Not just him, the other bodyguards were also filled with shock.
Having followed Miguel Abbott for so long, they had never seen the boss lose his temper before.
And Allen, as the head of the bodyguards, was treated like a brother by Miguel Abbott on a usual basis.
Now, everyone had one question in mind: who exactly was this young man?
โUncle Miguel, you know him?โ
Atlas Leopold also sensed that something was off.
Miguel Abbott was a man who valued his pride, and even in talks with him, one had to be polite, addressing him as Uncle Miguel.
โI know him!โ
Miguel Abbott didnโt hesitate, striding over to Julius Reed, and said apologetically, โBrother Reed, Iโve failed to take good care of you today. How about this, Iโll host a banquet at the top floor to offer my apologies, how does that sound?โ
As soon as he spoke, Elize Yarrowโs mouth hung open in shock.
She was very clear on who Miguel Abbott was, and she had thought she was in trouble, but now Boss Abbott was voluntarily inviting them to dinner?
But what she hadnโt expected even more was that Julius Reed, without a hint of politeness, simply nodded and stood up!
โDress sexily tonight, accompany me well!โ
As he passed by Elize Yarrow, Julius Reed spoke audibly for everyone to hear.
And he casually threw a card to one of Miguel Abbottโs bodyguards, โGo, buy two sets of uniforms and come back.โ
โThereโs no need for you to spend money on such matters!โ
Miguel Abbott immediately returned the card and ordered, โHandle this right away!โ
โYes, sir!โ
Upon the bossโs command, the bodyguard immediately turned and trotted away from the Pearl of the Waters.
Only then did Miguel Abbott take a careful look at Elize Yarrow.
He always felt she looked familiar, and now his gaze toward Julius Reed was also somewhat strange.
It seems that men all have a taste for it!
But what he didnโt know was that Julius Reed had no interest in Elize Yarrow at all; he merely wanted to humiliate Atlas Leopold.
By tomorrow, it would become common knowledge
that Atlas Leopoldโs fiancรฉe spent the night with another man, engaging in all sorts of antics.
For a man as prideful as the Four Great Gentlemen, it would be worse than death.
โUncle Miguel! โ
Sure enough, upon hearing Julius Reedโs words, Atlas Leopoldโs face became as dark as water.
โThis man has hit me and my brothers! Even my employees and bodyguards were injured by him!โ
Standing up, Atlas Leopold looked coldly at Miguel Abbott, โNow, he wants to take my fiancรฉe upstairs, and youโre just going to watch? The Leopold Family will never allow such a thing to happen, no matter what!โ
For the wealthy families, reputation is everything!
Moreover, Atlas Leopoldโs words were quite euphemistic, not seeming like a threat to Miguel Abbott, yet conveying the underlying message.
Todayโs matter was no longer a small dispute, but involved the interests between several major families!
โIโm sorry, Nephew Atlas.โ
With a faint smile, Miguel Abbott took Julius Reed by the arm and walked toward the upstairs.
A simple apology made his stance clear.
โDamn it!โ
Atlas Leopold knelt on the ground, his nails digging deeply into his flesh.
He had never been humiliated like this in his life before. And it was done right in front of so many people, stepping on him ruthlessly!
โYoung master, what should we do?โ The employees asked.
โAll useless! Get out of my sight!โ
Atlas Leopold roared and pulled out his cellphone from his jacket.
After hesitating for a moment, he violently threw the phone away, deciding not to call his father.
โLetโs go!โ
The employees quickly helped the young master up and left the Pearl of the Waters posthaste.
Once in the car, Atlas Leopold took another cellphone from under the passenger seat.
This cellphone had only one contact, whom he really didnโt want to call unless absolutely necessary.
โAt the Pearl of the Waters, I donโt want him to live until tomorrow.โ After uttering this sentence, he hung up the phone.
โJulius Reed, you had a way to heaven but you didnโt take it, and now youโre barging into hell with no gate!โ
Meanwhile, at the top-floor restaurant of the Pearl of the Waters, Julius Reed was leisurely enjoying the night view of Five-river Province.
The scenery from the thirty-third floor wasnโt bad at all when looking down from such a height.
โThe apology you gave just now has already put you squarely against the Leopold Family!โ
Julius Reed, with his back toward Miguel Abbott, spoke nonchalantly, โAs a result, itโs very likely all my enemies will choose to go against you. Boss Abbott, that doesnโt seem like a wise decision.โ
With Atlas Leopold leaving like that, he definitely wouldnโt just let it go!
And it wasnโt just Atlas Leopold losing face but the entire Leopold Family being shamed!
Given Miguel Abbottโs attitude, the two families were now complete enemies!
โWould Mr. Reed just stand by if I were in trouble? Iโm a businessman who loves to take risks! If I fail, Iโll just start over. But what if I succeed?โ
With a faint smile, Miguel Abbott sat at the table, โIt might save me twenty years of struggle!โ
