Legend of Dragon Son-in-law-Chapter 727 - Compensation_1

Chapter 727: Chapter 727 Compensation_1

Quandarius Ridge became pregnant with the Casey Family’s child and was seen by the Ridge Family as the hope for the resurgence of their clan.

Immanuel Ridge’s husband also married into the family, though last year he was arrested for theft and ended up squatting in prison.

He has yet to be released to this day.

Now, Old Master Ridge was counting on Quandarius Ridge’s marriage to get more dowry money.

So he could fish his son-in-law out of jail.

Quandarius Ridge’s father had been an orphan from a young age, so she always called Barrett Ridge Grandpa.

She, who was originally unlikable, suddenly became Barrett Ridge’s favorite granddaughter.

Without equal.

Thus, when the already disliked Knox Ridge let out a howl like that of a wolf or a ghost, Barrett Ridge was ready to beat someone with his walking stick.

“Such a lack of breeding!”

Sheldon Casey’s brows were almost twisted into a knot.

“A savage land. It’s either yelling at the top of one’s lungs or resorting to physical violence. Has no one ever learned manners here?”

“Dad! Please sit down!”

Immanuel Ridge quickly stood up and pushed the bewildered Barrett Ridge back to his seat.

“Knox Ridge, keep your mouth shut!”

After calming her father down, she looked back at Knox Ridge’s family, feeling an itch of hatred in her teeth.

She couldn’t fathom what Darnell Ridge and Bryson Ridge were thinking, allowing such an unpopular person to come back for the New Year.

Even sitting at the same table as her future in-laws for dinner!

“Get out…” Barrett Ridge was about to curse, but remembering what Sheldon Casey had said earlier, he quickly changed his tune, “Burl Radcliffe, take your wife out for a look, and if there’s anything uncomfortable, go directly to the hospital!”

“Ah.”

Burl Radcliffe dumbly agreed and turned to help his wife stand.

After all, they had been husband and wife for decades; he was also worried something might happen to Knox Ridge.

“I… I can stand on my own…”

The face of Knox Ridge had already turned green.

But she couldn’t stand up at all.

Even walking, she could feel a heart-piercing pain.

“Ugh…”

Biting her teeth hard, Knox Ridge leaned on the table and slowly stood up…

“Julius, I apologize for how I treated you just now…”

Outside the private room, Quella Radcliffe hung her head, her voice growing softer and softer.

“What goes around, comes around. She will get her just deserts; you don’t need to feel guilty,” Julius Reed said as he stood by the window, patting Quella Radcliffe’s head. “There’s something fishy about the Caseys.”

“What’s fishy?”

Quella Radcliffe raised her head, asking in confusion.

“Look at the attitude of Sheldon Casey and his family; they clearly look down on the Ridge Family from the bottom of their hearts. But if that’s the case, why would they come to Moon City themselves?”

Julius Reed turned around and looked outside the window, “There’s definitely something shady going on here.”

“Maybe they like Quandarius Ridge; after all, in her belly…”

“Even less likely,” Julius Reed interrupted her, “With Moon Casey’s tactics, if they wanted a child, she could pop out a whole firing squad. Furthermore, according to what Sheldon Casey said, they would never let Quandarius Ridge ‘contaminate’ their family’s genes.”

While they were talking, Burl Radcliffe came out of the room, helping Knox Ridge.

“What happened here?”

Seeing Knox Ridge’s pale face, Quella Radcliffe hurried over to ask.

“Got her karma,” Julius Reed said indifferently, “Take her to the proctology department to have a look; it’s not a big issue.”

“But my mom has always been healthy.”

Quella Radcliffe was somewhat worried.

“With such a venomous tongue, it’s karma,” insisted Julius Reed, with an unmistakable smile on his face.

“Julius Reed…”

Knox Ridge was shaking all over in anger, but she could only stand there, sweating profusely.

This was offensive, wasn’t it?

A venomous tongue going to the proctology department?

“My dear, are you having stomach pains?”

Burl Radcliffe asked with concern.

“Go to the proctology department…”

Knox Ridge said with an ashen face.

“See, didn’t I tell you? With a mouth so spiteful, she brought it upon herself, right?”

Just as Julius Reed was talking, a server pushing a dining cart arrived at the door.

“Julius, isn’t that your friend from a moment ago…”

When Quella Radcliffe saw the server’s face, she couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

“Shh! Just wait and watch the show,”

Julius Reed leaned against the window and gave Christian Martinez a thumbs-up sign.

The other responded with a mischievous smile.

“But Mom…,”

Quella Radcliffe hesitated, watching Burl Radcliffe and Knox Ridge slowly walking away, debating whether to follow.

“It’s a small issue, just go to the proctology department and get it checked out.”

Julius Reed said with a faint smile.

That toothpick from earlier…

Seemed to have slipped and gotten smeared with a bit of mustard oil.

“What’s going on with your ‘The Star of the Prosperous Age’?”

As soon as Christian Martinez entered the room, he was accosted by Elvin Ridge, who pointed at his face and berated him, “A bunch of useless people! It’s been so long and the meal still hasn’t arrived? By the time you show up, we’ll have starved to death!”

“Sorry, it’s the New Year today, and we’re swamped with people.”

While explaining, Christian Martinez kept bringing dishes to the table.

“Why are you here alone? We paid so much money, didn’t we agree to have eight attendants on standby here for the whole time, ready at a moment’s notice!”

Elvin Ridge grew angrier the more she thought about it.

Now that she had the support of the Casey family here, she acted even more arrogantly.

“They all went home for the New Year, leaving only me. Please eat and calm down.”

Christian Martinez served each dish onto the table one by one.

The other attendants?

He had knocked them out long ago.

By the time they woke up, a year would have passed.

“I’m going to complain! Tell your boss Brexton Jackson, what does he think he is! Our relatives are very influential!”

Elvin Ridge, hands on her hips, scolded like a shrew in the street, “If we’re slighted, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”

“Yes! Yes!”

Pushing his cart, Christian Martinez approached Sheldon Casey and his family.

He started to pour the wine.

“Hold on!”

The elder quickly reached out and firmly grabbed Christian Martinez’s wrist.

“Have you trained in martial arts?”

“I have trained…”

Christian Martinez’s eyes darted around as he nodded his head and explained, “Originally, I was a security guard, but now with the staff shortage, I’m working as a waiter.”

“No wonder.”

The elder nodded his head and let go of his hand.

Although this man had decent skills, if he posed any threat to his master, the elder would be able to neutralize him instantly!

The first glass of wine.

The Casey family did not drink it.

The elder picked it up and took a cautious sip.

“It’s fine.”

Testing for poison.

“Dear relatives and friends, we would like to bring Quandarius Ridge to the capital city. After all, the Casey family has a vast business and plenty of servants and nannies, making care more convenient.”

Sheldon Casey raised his wine glass, his tone notably more polite than usual.

“Of course! Anna Harris is your soon-to-be daughter-in-law, and she’s carrying the blood of the Ridge family.”

Elvin Ridge was the first to stand up, “Maybe I should go too, since I’m her mother. It would be more convenient for me to take care of her.”

“There’s no need.”

Sheldon Casey spoke calmly, “We will arrange the wedding. There are too many relatives and friends in the capital; you all don’t need to come.”

“What? I can’t attend my own daughter’s wedding?”

Elvin Ridge was stunned.

She had been looking forward to basking in the limelight.

To see just how wealthy the Casey family was.

“That’s right.”

Moon Casey stood up and said with a smile, “Dear elders, I understand your feelings. But… the capital is crowded, and we pay attention to matched social status. If they find out about Anna Harris’s background…”

“It doesn’t matter!”

Anna Harris quickly stood up, frowning, “Mom! Don’t cause trouble for me!”

It was not easy for her to marry into a wealthy family and become a lady of leisure.

And judging by the attitude of the Casey family, she wished she was an orphan!

With a mother who was an unemployed vagabond and a father in prison.

If word got out, how could the Casey family face anyone?

“But…”

Before Elvin Ridge could finish, her eyes suddenly widened.

“As compensation, we’ve brought two million in cash.”

Moon Casey picked up two small suitcases and placed them on the table.

She gently opened them.

Inside, were all shiny new banknotes.
