Chapter 614: Chapter 614 The Entire Company Has Arrived_1

“Pah!”

Facing the fierce approach of Cooper Ridge, Julius Reed gently spat out the cherry pit from his mouth.

The pit hit its mark without deviation, directly striking Cooper Ridge’s knee.

Thud!

The unprepared Cooper Ridge suddenly knelt down in front of Julius Reed, his head banging on the ground.

“Whoa! What’s this all about? With the New Year around the corner, are you begging for money?”

Julius Reed took a step back ‘in shock’, fumbled about on himself, and threw out a ten-yuan bill.

“Ouch! My leg!”

Cooper Ridge looked up, his face twisted in pain.

Seeing the ten yuan on the ground, he tore it to shreds in an instant!

That blow hadn’t been light, and Cooper Ridge’s head was already showing a bruise.

The floors in Knox Ridge’s house were genuinely made of solid marble, hard as could be.

Head hitting that, it couldn’t be good.

“Cooper, are you alright? What happened here?”

Seeing her son grimacing in pain, Damien Leopold quickly set her pride aside and went over to help her son up with concern.

“Mom, lightly!”

As Cooper Ridge tried to stand, he felt that his right knee was as if broken, completely unable to support any weight.

“Big nephew, what happened to you!” Knox Ridge untied her apron and immediately went over to offer warmth and concern.

“It must be because you didn’t clean the floor properly!” Cooper Ridge pointed unhappily at the wet patch on the ground: “Who the hell did this!”

Smack!

No sooner had the words left his mouth than he got a hit to the back of his head.

“That would be when your aunt spilt it on the ground while throwing something at me,” Julius Reed said with a smile, arms folded across his chest: “You really are ruthless, even daring to curse your own mother.”

Reminded by this, Cooper Ridge remembered.

Turning around, he saw Damien Leopold glaring at him.

“Shut your mouth!” Seeing things were going sideways, Knox Ridge immediately scolded Julius Reed: “I don’t want to see you here today! Leave!”

The trouble Julius Reed had caused made it uncertain whether she’d be able to return to her parents’ home for the New Year.

If she really couldn’t go back, given the Radcliffe Family’s current state of disarray, the old couple would have to stay at home, which would be utterly meaningless.

For Knox Ridge, who loved a lively atmosphere, this was worse than killing her!

Moreover, this year, many people were going back home for the New Year.

“No way!”

Cooper Ridge limped to the door to block the way: “There’s less than fifteen minutes left of the half-hour, Julius Reed, you wouldn’t go back on your word, would you?”

The two had made a bet, agreeing that if Julius Reed couldn’t install the security door within half an hour, he would have to kneel and kowtow.

After being on the losing end all the time, how could Cooper Ridge let go of this chance for a desperate comeback?

“Aunt, you wouldn’t be trying to show favoritism towards your son-in-law and let him off, would you?”

“No! How could that be!” Knox Ridge quickly said with a laugh: “I forgot, I forgot!”

She slapped her head, turned around, and immediately put on a different face: “Julius Reed, once you entered the doors of our Ridge Family, you became one of us. We Ridge people mean what we say; if we can bet, we must accept losing!”

“Ridge Family?”

Julius Reed raised an eyebrow and asked: “Isn’t it the Radcliffe Family?”

After all, he had married into the Radcliffe Family, not the Ridge Family.

Burl Radcliffe was a genuine prodigal son of a once-rich family, not a son-in-law who had married into the family.

“What do you know, Quella is my daughter, and she perfectly inherits the virtues of our Ridge Family. If she were like her dad, she’d be a complete failure!” Knox Ridge’s words were filled with contempt for Burl Radcliffe.

She thought she had married her daughter to a rich heir; at that time, the Radcliffe Family was also a major clan with abundant funds.

Yet, it turned out that Burl Radcliffe was nothing but a ne’er-do-well. Every other Radcliffe was successful, driving luxury cars and living in big houses.

Only their branch was the most wretched.

To this day, Burl Radcliffe still drove that old broken-down Seat and lived in the house they’d bought when they got married.

“Excuse me, is this Mrs. Knox Ridge’s home?”

Just then, a voice came from outside the door, making an inquiry.

“You are…” Knox Ridge peered out, asking apprehensively, “What are you doing?”

“We’re from the security door company, now installing your security door,” replied the man dressed like a worker at the door.

“Yo! Kid, you’re pretty capable, huh!” Cooper Ridge lifted his arm, glancing at the Rolex Submariner on his wrist worth a hundred thousand yuan, and grinned, “But now there’s less than ten minutes left, and just one worker, are you sure you can finish?”

Having said this, he shook his head, muttering to himself, “But for someone who lives off a woman, being able to pay for the security door is already pretty good. Where would you get the money to hire two workers?”

Now, Cooper Ridge believed he held the winning ticket.

A single person working until dark wouldn’t be able to finish.

This was a big project.

But no sooner had his words fallen than a voice came from the door, “Brothers, it’s this one!”

What followed was a chaotic rush of footsteps.

“Old Huang, take the door down! Old Sun, bring over the new security door! Little Wang, give a hand, everyone move your ass! Whoever’s slow, I’ll break his hands!”

The man who first knocked on the door called out, and the employees behind him swarmed in like a pack of wolves.

Bang!

One person charged over, broke the screws, and then two others came over, pushed and pulled, and in less than ten seconds took down the previously warped door.

The others immediately stepped in to clean up the site.

The ones carrying the new door followed closely, clanking away as they began the installation.

This scene left Cooper Ridge dumbfounded.

It looked like an emergency rescue operation.

“I say, how many of you are here?” he asked, visibly surprised, as he walked to the door.

“The whole company, thirty-something people, all hands on deck! We have strict orders from above to get the door installed in five minutes, or the company dissolves!” After saying this, the man gestured with his hand, “There’s no time to talk.”

Bang!

With another loud noise, Cooper Ridge staggered back two or three steps.

Then the security door was opened once more.

“Please, inspect it,” the leading man said as he took off his white gloves, and the employees immediately began cleaning the floor behind him.

Spick and span!

Cooper Ridge looked down at his watch, there were three minutes left until the agreed time.

“Thanks for the hard work. Rest well when you get back,” Julius Reed said as he walked over, nodding at the men.

The people before him were all Aron Jackson’s subordinates, experts in door repair.

Aron Jackson didn’t want to be just a thug in Gonzalez City; he had people from all walks of life under his command.

In his own words, “from crowing roosters to thieving dogs, all have their place of use.”

“Mom, I’m feeling a bit unwell, let’s head back,” Cooper Ridge quickly thought of leaving, his eyes darting around.

If he stayed, he would have to kneel and apologize to Julius Reed.

To kneel to a loser, what face would he have left to see people?

“That’s right, I remember your dad is coming to Gonzalez City tonight. The three of us can have dinner together, then head back to Harbor City tomorrow to prepare for the New Year,” Damien Leopold said expressionlessly.

“Since my sister-in-law and nephew have something to do, I won’t keep you. After you go back, I hope you can talk it over with the old man, and please mention my return home,” Knox Ridge also chimed in cheerfully.

Everyone knew what was going on, but all kept their mouths shut.

“Wait a moment!”

As Cooper Ridge and his mother were about to step out the door, Julius Reed said indifferently, “Have you forgotten the bet we just made?”

“Julius Reed, don’t push it too far!”

Knox Ridge stepped forward, pointing her finger fiercely at Julius Reed, “A casual joke, and you’re taking it seriously? Ruining my…”

“The door that was ruined has already been replaced. And it’s even more expensive than your previous one,” Julius Reed looked coldly at Knox Ridge, suddenly smiling, “If I had lost just now, would you still think it was a casual joke?”
