Chapter 609: Chapter 609 The Farmer and the Snake_1

“What about Galileo Leopold and Darius Clark…”

“They’ve touched it, but you haven’t. If I hadn’t stopped you just now, by this time, you’d be a corpse.”

“But why did I feel so weak and my heartbeat speed up just now…”

“Overstress, adrenaline rush, a normal response.”

“But this jade Buddha has always been in my office…”

“If you don’t touch it, you won’t get poisoned.”

“But you just touched…”

“I’m immune to all poisons.”

Julius Reed turned his back, looking coldly at Itai Huntington, who was already sobbing and ruining her makeup on the sofa, “Still want to curse me? If not, I’m leaving.”

After speaking, he turned and went to pull the door of the office.

“Wait!”

Hearing that she was fine, Itai Huntington jumped up from the sofa and, forgetting her usual composed CEO demeanor, went straight to pull Julius Reed.

“There’s poison on my hand, touch it and you’re guaranteed dead.”

Julius Reed stretched out his hand, frightening Itai Huntington into pulling hers back quickly.

“That… I’m… I’m sorry…”

Itai Huntington, thinking back on what she had said earlier, was flushed with embarrassment.

She thought she was going to die, which is why she had spat out all the words that had been buried in her heart.

And now, tottering on awkwardness.

“I’m sorry, but I was worried about having a resentful woman standing beside me when I sleep with my wife.”

Julius Reed huffed lightly, pulled open the wooden door of the office, and strode out.

“Hey! Wait a minute!”

Itai Huntington ran after him, heedless of the many employees standing around, and hugged Julius Reed from behind, crying, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was wrong!”

“Move away, I don’t hit women.”

Julius Reed said coldly.

“Please, don’t go, okay? I’m begging you.”

Itai Huntington, shaking her head and crying even harder.

“So many people are watching, be mindful!”

Julius Reed frowned, clearly at a loss.

If it were a man, he would simply pick him up by the neck, dispose of him like trash, and that would be the end of it.

But this time, it was a woman.

Hitting a woman is ultimately not right.

“Let go, and we can talk.”

He compromised, having no choice.

If his wife got wind of this, it would be another mess.

“You said it, no deceiving me!”

Itai Huntington, tears streaming down her face like rain on pear blossoms, carefully let go of him.

“We agreed, there’s no possibility between us. I have a wife, and I love my wife very much.”

Julius Reed turned around, saying this very seriously.

“Okay…”

Itai Huntington lowered her head, like an obedient little kitten.

The surrounding employees were stunned.

In their eyes, Itai Huntington was the high-and-mighty female CEO.

Usually cold as ice, dignified and composed.

She could face any opponent without flinching or showing any change in expression, even if Taishan were collapsing in front of her.

But now, what did they see?

A heartbroken woman who had been abandoned?

Too meek!

“Let’s talk inside!”

Julius Reed glanced at the people around him and turned back into the office.

“Anyone who gossips about this, consider the consequences!”

Itai Huntington’s face darkened, and she eyed the surrounding employees, snapping back to her old self in a second.

“Understood! We didn’t see anything!”

“Chairman, you’re busy, we’ll go handle other matters first,”

“I’ll block all the visits for you this afternoon.”

After expressing their stand, everyone left one after another.

Once back in the office, Itai Huntington’s face immediately regained a pitiful expression.

“Julius, for a girl that nobody wants, suddenly finding out she’s about to die, it’s normal to say something excessive, isn’t it!”

She huffed lightly, somewhat resentful, “You’re supposed to be a man, why always haggle over things with me! You really think someone would fancy you—I was just thinking about my impending death, giving you a thrill. Now that I’m still alive, who gives a damn about you!”

“Then I should thank you!”

Julius walked over to the sink beside her desk, gently turned on the tap.

“This stuff is lethal, touch it and you’re dead! Looks like Fabian Percival is planning to make a move on you soon, be careful.”

“Otherwise, I play dead and scheme against him once?”

Itai Huntington blinked and suddenly asked.

“That’s a good idea!”

Julius nodded, turned around, picked up a towel, wiped his hands, and then threw it into the trashcan.

“But of what use is that? Would that old fox believe it? Even if you fake your death, he won’t show up; instead, he’ll take the opportunity to consolidate his support.”

Having him say this, Itai Huntington got a bit disheartened. “Then what should we do! They’ve already got the knife at our neck, we can’t just sit here and wait to die, right?”

“It’s only polite to return a favor. Since he’s sent you a jade Buddha, you should also send him something.”

Julius sat in Itai Huntington’s office chair, pressing his temples softly, “What to send him?”

“Fabian Percival is very cunning. Sending him something now, nine out of ten times it will be refused, and even if not, he won’t personally touch it.”

Itai Huntington sighed helplessly, “It’s only me, naively accepting it, and almost got poisoned to death.”

“The poison is special. If I’m not mistaken, he must have someone from Medicine King Valley by his side.” Julius stood up, looking out the window, muttering to himself, “Perhaps I could check on which of the Leocadia Family is actually the direct lineage of Medicine King Valley.”

He believed that Karen wouldn’t lie.

There was no need to lie.

Medicine King Valley had always been a mystery, and in recent years, it became known to many due to the rich fearing death.

Of course, this circle was limited to the wealthy.

The ordinary poor had no chance to come into contact with Medicine King Valley.

“What are you talking about?”

Itai Huntington asked curiously.

Medicine King Valley?

She had never heard of it.

“Indeed, you’re not rich enough,”

Julius spoke disdainfully. “How about you just directly send a bomb instead.”

“You’re crazy! Don’t joke at a time like this!” Itai Huntington said helplessly, at such a critical moment, he still had the mood for jokes.

“False moves and real moves. You send a poison egg directly to him, telling Fabian Percival there is a poison egg inside, he might actually open it.”

Julius leaned his hands on the desk, “After all, he’s out to kill you, what are you afraid of, tearing off the mask?”

“Good! Let’s give it a try!”

Itai Huntington picked up the phone from the ground, its screen shattered.

Useless.

She had to walk over to the desk and picked up the landline, “Diamond, send a poison egg to Fabian Percival, tell him straight away that it is a poison egg.”

“Yes, you heard right, do it as instructed.”

After repeating it, Itai Huntington hung up the phone, smiling at Julius, “Maybe, he’ll really take a look.”

“I saved your life again, you owe me so much that it’s unpayable now,”

Julius said indifferently.

“How about this young lady offers herself in return for saving my life?”

Itai Huntington leaned against the desk, swiveled, and moved closer to Julius.

“Get lost! Call someone to pack up ten thousand worth of seafood for me right away, I’m going to see my own wife.”

Julius glanced at his watch, “Half an hour, if I don’t see the delivery, I’ll throw you out of the building.”

“No problem.”

Itai Huntington walked over to the window, looking down at Diamond getting into the car, she pursed her lips, “The poison egg is on its way. But, the one left with blame, will be your name.”

“Truly a farmer and a snake!”

Julius cursed helplessly.

PS: I will be heading back to the city soon, there are too many checkpoints on the way, and I might be stuck for a day, so updates will be less frequent. Once back, I’ll promptly catch up, apologizing in advance. Also, I’ve started correcting typos recently to offer everyone a better reading experience; I’m guilty for the previous errors and will be gradually fixing them. I was irresponsible before. A bow, wishing my readers a healthy, safe, and happy New Year. For the Lantern Festival, love you all.
