“Back already?”

“Mm-hmm!”

Julius Reed walked to Quella Radcliffe’s bedside and placed the necklace gift box above her head.

“This is for you.”

“For me?”

Quella Radcliffe immediately sat up from the bed.

It had been three years since their marriage, and Julius Reed had never given her any gift.

This was the first time.

“What did you do this afternoon? I told you, no stealing, no robbery, you hear me!”

She was genuinely worried that he might take the wrong path because of something she said.

“Rest assured, I did some odd jobs this afternoon. When I passed by a shop on my way back, I thought of getting a gift for you.”

Julius Reed walked to his own single bed and gently sat down.

There were two beds in the room, one for each person.

Three years of marriage, separate beds.

“That’s good then!”

Watching her husband in name only, Quella Radcliffe felt a sudden ripple in her heart.

“As long as you’re willing to make an effort, even if you are just an ordinary man, I won’t blame you.”

She opened the brocade box, and inside was a necklace.

Extremely luxurious!

But then she remembered, how could Julius Reed afford something nice?

Yet Quella Radcliffe still put it around her neck and smiled sweetly, “I really like it.”

Even though she knew it couldn’t be expensive, it was the first gift Julius Reed had given her.

“Whatever you like, I will give you in the future.”

Julius Reed lay back on the bed, gazing at the ceiling, “Starting from tomorrow, I will make sure you live a good life.”

“Mm-hmm!”

Quella Radcliffe compared the photo on her phone with Julius Reed and found they did look somewhat alike.

But she quickly dismissed the thought.

“13.14 million, who knows how many years it would take to save.”

The next day, explosive news swept through Gonzalez City.

Titan Group decided to collaborate with Radcliffe Group, preparing to dominate the electronic industry in Gonzalez City!

Every member of the Radcliffe Family was immersed in boundless joy and urgently convened a board meeting.

As a member of the Radcliffe Family, Quella Radcliffe was also invited.

“Mr. Radcliffe, we have no idea how much money we will get this time!”

Quella’s mother, Knox Ridge, was touching up her makeup in the living room.

“Our family’s shares are pitifully small; there’s probably not much to be done with them!”

Burl Radcliffe sighed deeply.

As a son of the Radcliffe Family, he had the least shares.

Barely making over a hundred thousand a year, it wasn’t enough for the household.

“It’s all because of this good-for-nothing son-in-law! If it weren’t for him, Quella would never have ended up in such straits!”

Knox Ridge was fuming with anger every time this matter came up.

Three years ago.

Quella was the Radcliffe Family’s most cherished child.

But ever since Julius Reed married into the family, the whole clan began to ostracize them.

After all, a girl who was already married off had no value to be utilized.

Instead, Donny Radcliffe had become the new favorite of the Radcliffe Family, rumored to be marrying into the Brandon Family of Gonzalez City.

Otis Radcliffe’s status soared, even bossing Burl Radcliffe around on a daily basis.

“Mom, cut it out, will you?”

Quella Radcliffe sneaked a glance at Julius Reed and noticed he leaned against the door, grinning foolishly.

In three years, Knox Ridge had berated him countless times, but he always just smiled stupidly in response.

“You’re still defending him? This useless man has completely disgraced us!”

The more Knox Ridge spoke, the angrier she became, pointing at Julius Reed’s nose and scolding, “You good-for-nothing, get out! I don’t want to see you for another second! You are not to attend today and embarrass me further!”

For three years, she had consistently belittled him, hoping to drive this son-in-law away from their home.

But no matter how she scolded, he just laughed it off.

“Mom, Julius is also part of the Radcliffe Family, why can’t he go.”

Quella Radcliffe furrowed her brow, feeling dissatisfied.

Even though Julius Reed wasn’t much of an achiever, for the past three years he had diligently done laundry and cooking.

He never fought back or retaliated against verbal abuse.

Even raising a dog would stir some feelings, let alone a living, breathing person.

“Alright! Hold your tongue, we’re almost out of time, let’s hurry!”

Burl Radcliffe glanced at the clock and stood up to leave.

“Don’t mind her.”

Quella Radcliffe whispered to Julius Reed as she walked up to him.

For some reason, since receiving the gift yesterday, her heart had experienced some changes.

At least, the other person was genuinely willing to make changes for her.

“Mom’s words do make sense. But don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer anymore.”

Julius Reed looked at Quella Radcliffe with a face full of happiness.

He really wanted to tell Quella Radcliffe everything, but his memory was still not fully recovered, and even if he did tell her, most likely no one would believe him.

They might even consider him a lunatic.

“Come with me! After all, you are a part of the Radcliffe Family.”

For the first time in three years, Quella Radcliffe took the initiative to include him.

“Okay!”

Julius Reed nodded and followed her downstairs.

The four of them took Burl Radcliffe’s decade-old Passat to the Radcliffe Group.

“Look at all these people! Mr. Radcliffe, you’re just a loser, just like your son-in-law!”

Seeing the Audis, BMWs, and other luxury cars at the company entrance, Knox Ridge flared up again.

She was vain at heart, yet sadly, she lived the worst life among them.

Whenever she encountered such situations, she felt she couldn’t hold her head up in front of others.

When she married into the Radcliffe Family, she thought she would be rich and prosperous, but who would have thought that Rashad Radcliffe would be so incompetent, and their life would get worse by the day.

“Mom, having a car is enough, it’s just for transportation!”

Although Quella Radcliffe said this, deep down, she really wished she had her own car.

“I’ve seen a second-hand car, and I’ll buy it to take you to work and pick you up every day!”

Julius Reed said with a smile.

“Great!”

Quella Radcliffe didn’t say much, but as long as Julius Reed was willing to work hard, she would definitively support him.

“You, you can’t even afford a bicycle!”

Knox Ridge slammed the car door violently: “We shouldn’t have brought this embarrassing thing with us today!”

By this time, many members of the Radcliffe Family were already waiting at the company entrance.

“Burl, how many years have you been driving this Passat? Why haven’t you changed cars yet?”

Elliot Radcliffe came over and fiercely kicked the tires twice: “My son-in-law bought me an X5 a few days ago; it’s really comfortable to sit in!”

He was Burl Radcliffe’s older brother, in charge of procurement at the Radcliffe Group, and had not been shy about skimming a little extra for himself.

The son-in-law also worked within the group and was even more ruthless when it came to money.

“It’s good enough for now; funds are tight,” Burl Radcliffe said with an awkward smile and a slightly reddening face.

“Look at someone’s son-in-law, then look at ours!”

The more Knox Ridge thought about it, the angrier she became, and she decided to sit back in the car by herself.

More and more people gathered until there were dozens standing at the entrance.

“Yo! Quella, that necklace isn’t bad, huh?”

Tess Radcliffe came over with Calvin Leopold: “Sister, did you rush to spend the money after hearing about the Group’s cooperation with Titan Group?!”

“This was given by Julius.”

Quella Radcliffe instinctively covered it with her hand.

She wore it to encourage Julius Reed, but she didn’t expect Tess Radcliffe to notice.

“Speaking of necklaces, it reminds me of something! Did you hear? The Dawn Light was bought by someone yesterday!”

“I also heard about it, a lot of people in my circle are posting about it, and there are photos too! Who is the tycoon that bought it in the end?”

Women are very sensitive about luxury items, and upon mentioning this, they all begin to gossip.

“Hmph! He just made a move quicker than others; otherwise, my Calvin Leopold was about to buy it for me!”

Tess Radcliffe was very vain and always wanted others to know how well she lived in any occasion.

“Yes, yes, we had the money ready; it’s such a pity!”

Calvin Leopold was quite cooperative.

Although his family had some assets, buying a necklace for over ten million would probably result in his father beating him to death.

“I’m so envious of you, marrying such a good husband!”

Many female members of the Radcliffe Family cast envious glances her way.

“Hey! Look at what Quella is wearing around her neck; doesn’t it look so much like the Dawn Light?”

Someone with sharp eyes suddenly noticed the resemblance.
