Chapter 380: 380
Julius Reed’s actions shocked everyone.
He had just hit his ex-girlfriend, and now he was proposing love to a new flame?
And to a girl he didn’t even know at that?
Even Itai Huntington frowned slightly, her last bit of goodwill towards Julius Reed vanished completely.
Such a man was really too much.
Then looking at the girl who had been hit, curled up on the ground, wanting to cry but not daring to, she looked so pitiful that it stirred sympathy.
“Brother Dragon, you just treated your ex-girlfriend like that, and now you turn around and… and confess to Miss Radcliffe, do you think we are all blind or fools?”
Bran Cook, who had always found Julius Reed displeasing, finally caught the opportunity to give him a good thrashing!
“Forgive my bluntness, but as a man, fists are not meant to be used on women! Especially a woman who has had an abortion for you, have you considered her future? If you never intended to be with her, why did you pursue her in the first place?”
He snorted coldly, shook his head, and said, “Such a person, Cook does not deign to associate with you! Please leave my party and don’t bring us bad luck!”
“Get lost!”
The crowd started to jeer.
Itai Huntington also stood aside, watching with a cold gaze.
“Quiet!”
Impatiently, Julius Reed interrupted everyone’s insults. He turned to Bran Cook, “Young Master Cook, even if you want to kick someone out, you should wait until I’m done professing my love, right? As the saying goes, ‘Rather demolish ten temples than destroy a single marriage’. Isn’t that a bit too unscrupulous of you?”
“You!”
Bran Cook was so angry he was at a loss for words. He took a deep breath, smiled, and nodded: “Fine, since you wish to humiliate yourself, I can’t help it. Just wait, and let’s see how you get your face slapped later!”
Quella Radcliffe was innately proud and had not even taken a liking to herself, let alone such a scumbag?
He knew Anna Harris was Julius Reed’s best friend.
Now that this Amos Davenport had gotten Anna Harris pregnant and was now professing his love to Quella Radcliffe, it was nothing short of a death wish, the epitome of self-humiliation!
“Then there’s no need for Young Master Cook to worry. What if someone actually likes a scumbag?”
Julius Reed gave a grin, turned with a rose in hand, and looked at Quella Radcliffe affectionately: “Miss, I noticed you the moment I first saw you. I don’t know what kind of magic it is, but when I close my eyes, it’s you, and when I open them, it’s still you. Now, with all the courage I can muster, I want to ask, would you be my girlfriend?”
He took a deep breath, then continued, “I promise you, I will only mess around once a week from now on, and I won’t bring two women home at the same time. Even if I do, it will be when you’re on a business trip or working overtime, I assure you won’t see it.”
“Truly the scummiest of the scum!”
Itai Huntington snickered coldly on the side. This man seemed to be sick in the head.
Would any normal woman agree to such a man?
To be honest, at the beginning, she had quite admired Julius Reed’s demeanor.
Young and frivolous, yet with a certain talent.
In Gonzalez City, no one dares to confront Bran Cook like this unless they’ve a death wish.
But Julius Reed dared, and repeatedly made Bran Cook lose face.
Just for that, Itai Huntington had wanted to recruit this young man.
But the way he had treated Anna Harris just now had dispelled that thought.
Morals, morals… Without morality, one is absolutely unacceptable.
Such a person could betray you for gain at any time, completely unreliable.
Now seeing Julius Reed proposing to Quella Radcliffe, she felt more disappointment than anything.
Arrogant people, if they lack the necessary strength, are probably courting death.
“Miss Radcliffe, would you like me to have someone throw him out? Such a man dirties your eyes,” Bran Cook gestured, immediately several security guards came over, ready to chase off the intruder.
“No need.”
Quella Radcliffe shook her head. Then, under the bewildered watch of countless people, she took the rose from Julius Reed and said indifferently, “I accept.”
I accept.
Four words struck everyone present like lightning.
Itai Huntington’s body shuddered, and she blinked, staring at Quella Radcliffe with the kind of look one reserves for the mentally ill.
Had her mind gone awry?
Just minutes ago, this man named Amos Davenport had just slept with her best friend and even tricked her into getting an abortion!
And now, she was actually agreeing?
Bran Cook also doubted his ears had heard correctly. He hurried over and asked, “Miss Radcliffe, what did you just say?”
“I said, I agree to be his girlfriend.”
Quella Radcliffe looked at Bran Cook with an expressionless face as she spoke.
The crowd completely erupted!
“What is she thinking? Rejecting Young Master Cook and getting involved with such a scumbag?”
“Could it be that this guy is a super-rich second-generation heir? He doesn’t look like it! If he really were so wealthy, how come we’ve never heard of him?”
“There must be something wrong. I think Quella Radcliffe is playing him!”
Everyone was talking at once. Bran Cook, after hearing the discussions, finally came to his senses.
“So that’s how it is! Miss Radcliffe is right; that kind of person deserves to be insulted!” He nodded, his mood instantly lightening.
Pretend to agree first, then verbally humiliate him – a fatal blow to the heart!
“What are you talking about?”
Quella Radcliffe frowned at Bran Cook, looking at him as if he were a fool.
“Isn’t Miss Radcliffe agreeing first, letting this scumbag be happy, then pouring cold water on him to make him completely desperate?”
Bran Cook, seeing Quella Radcliffe’s expression, suddenly panicked within. Could it be that things were not as he thought?
But that shouldn’t be the case!
Even a blind person wouldn’t agree to such a scumbag.
“My word is as good as gold,” declared Quella Radcliffe, walking up to Julius Reed with a smile. “What’s wrong with scumbags? Scumming openly and fearlessly, unashamed in front of others, that’s exactly what I like!”
As she spoke these words, the wealthy heirs around felt as though they had been struck by lightning.
Scumming openly and fearlessly?
Is there even such a thing as being honorable in scumming?
They started to doubt their life choices.
“Miss Radcliffe, such scum only lusts after your body! See for yourself, your best friend, your dear best friend – that will be your fate too!” Bran Cook, eyes wide, could not accept this reality.
Who is Quella Radcliffe? A beauty and a CEO!
Not to mention top-tier looks, even her demeanor is unmatched in the whole of Five-river Province.
And yet, this goddess whom everyone desires, she actually agreed to a scumbag’s courtship?
“That’s right. I do covet her body,” Julius Reed nodded without denial.
“See! He’s a scumbag!” Bran Cook pointed at Julius Reed, his eyes full of rebellion as he looked at Quella Radcliffe.
“I’ve heard,” Quella Radcliffe nodded: “So what? Looks are a part of me too. I like honest men. His frankness is something many lack.”
This is considered frankness?
Bran Cook was befuddled.
This is simply shameless!
No bottom line to being human!
But before he could continue questioning, Julius Reed directly asked, “Young Master Cook, let me ask you just one thing – don’t you covet her body as well?”
“I…”
Bran Cook took a deep breath, unsure of how to respond.
