Chapter 379: Chapter 379 Be My Girlfriend_1
When Julius Reed approached Quella Radcliffe, the air froze once again.
Most people were well aware that the reason Bran Cook was hosting the party today was first, to publicly confess his feelings to Quella Radcliffe.
Second, it was to announce his plans to invest in building a factory in Gonzalez City, hoping for the support of those present.
The first matter had already been messed up by Julius Reed, who not only thwarted the plan but also severely humiliated Bran Cook.
This put the top bachelor of Gonzalez City in a very awkward situation.
And now, amidst so many women, Julius Reed chose Quella Radcliffe of all people. Wasn’t this rubbing salt in Bran Cook’s wounds?
If it was a coincidence, it was too much of a coincidence.
While everyone else was extremely tense, Bran Cook felt rather unbothered, even appearing to enjoy the spectacle.
Although he was irritated inside, the outcome might be very pleasurable for him.
Quella Radcliffe was so proud that she didn’t even spare a glance for a young talent like himself, let alone the man before her now—an upstart with no name to speak of.
Or rather, someone called Amos Davenport, but with no family background to speak of, and very arrogant to boot.
Once she ridiculed Julius Reed, the young man would undoubtedly feel very humiliated, and those present would add insult to injury, stepping on Julius Reed mercilessly.
It would be like beating a dog when it’s down.
“Little brother, it’s not nice of you to reject your sister like that. Am I not as charming as she is? Don’t I attract you at all?” Itai Huntington looked at Julius Reed with a flirtatious gaze, threw him a coquettish wink, and made countless men envious and jealous.
And hateful!
But on second thought, they decided to let it go. This woman, Itai Huntington, was someone they dared not provoke.
This widow, who tragically lost her husband right after their marriage, had created many storms in Gonzalez City over the years. Many men who wanted to take advantage of her had met with mysterious ends.
No one knew the real background of Itai Huntington, but even the wealthiest man in Gonzalez City had to show her respect.
Some said the Huntington family was a prominent family from the capital, some said Itai Huntington was a member of a mysterious organization, and there were even rumors that she was a succubus, born to bring bad luck to her husbands.
But nobody knew the truth, and although men lusted after her body, none dared to step any closer.
Above the word “lust” hangs a sword, and this sword was a guillotine.
But Julius Reed was not afraid. After all, Amos Davenport did not know who Itai Huntington was.
Whoever she was, it was none of his business.
“Sister, I’m afraid my body wouldn’t be able to handle marrying you!”
Julius Reed looked troubled and even scanned Itai Huntington’s mature body with an extremely lecherous gaze, finally resting his eyes on her chest, “I want to live a few more years, little brother does!”
Flustered by his look, even Itai Huntington couldn’t help but blush, spat, “Little brother, you’re not serious at all. But the less serious you are, the more I like it.”
Their flirtatious exchange left the surrounding people stunned, while Yasser Davenport quietly gave a thumbs up, praising Julius Reed the brave.
The untouchable Itai Huntington had been flirted with today!
But once Bran Cook saw through it, he felt relieved.
A greenhorn who didn’t understand the severity, such a person would also meet a very miserable end.
“Why are you here!”
At that very moment, Anna Harris, who had gone to the restroom to throw up and freshened up her face, rushed back to Quella Radcliffe, worried that if she took too long Radcliffe might run into trouble.
But as she left the restroom, she was surprised to find Julius Reed holding a bouquet of roses, standing in front of Quella Radcliffe.
Seeing him there, Anna Harris felt relieved but also wanted to unleash her frustration, hoping Julius Reed would vent it for her.
When Julius Reed’s eyes caught sight of Anna Harris, he inwardly cursed, “Damn.”
If this naive youth blurted out his true identity, things would no longer be fun.
He immediately walked briskly to Anna Harris, saying somewhat displeased, “I’ve told you countless times, stop following me! It’s impossible for us to be together. Don’t think that by getting an abortion for me, I will be moved.”
Anna Harris was completely baffled by this and immediately became furious!
Wasn’t this an insult to her innocence?
Quella Radcliffe was still watching from the side; this was clearly an insult to her!
But before she could erupt, she noticed Julius Reed winking at her.
The smart Anna Harris, after a brief look at Quella Radcliffe’s expressionless face, slapped Julius Reed hard without much thought!
Smack!
The slap caught not only Julius Reed but everyone present, including Quella Radcliffe, completely off guard.
What kind of act was this?
“You scumbag! I’ve been with you for three years, tolerating your affairs, but you even…” Anna Harris rolled her eyes and squeezed out a few tears as she sobbed, “you even gave me a disease. I wanted to keep the child, but you didn’t even give me the chance. You tricked me into the hospital and had the baby aborted. Then, you mingled with other women and took all my money!”
At that moment, Julius Reed even had the illusion that he really did all these things?
It had to be said that Anna Harris’s acting was Oscar-worthy.
Luckily she didn’t go into show business, otherwise the so-called Best Actors and Actresses would have had to settle for the sidelines.
“What a jerk!”
“Damn deadbeat!”
“May you have a son without an anus!”
The women at the scene became extremely angry after watching Anna Harris’s performance!
Many were on the verge of hitting someone.
After all, it was Bran Cook’s place, so they dared not act rashly.
“Who would’ve thought the little brother is quite the playboy!” Itai Huntington’s eyes also changed significantly after hearing these words.
Any woman seeing Anna Harris’s pathetic state would understandably get angry.
But before Julius Reed could speak, Anna Harris suddenly knelt to the ground with a “thump.”
“I beg you, give me another chance. As long as you’re with me, I don’t care how you mess around outside. I can give you my family’s business, I can give you everything I have, please don’t abandon me…”
As she said these words, Anna Harris was sniveling and crying, the very image of a girl abandoned by a jerk.
“Damn it! Beast! Even I, a man, can’t stand to watch this!”
“He’s really a scumbag! Worse than pigs or dogs, this girl must be blind to have fallen for you!”
“You will be recompensed! As you do, so shall you reap! You won’t end up well like this!”
The crowd verbally and harshly condemned Julius Reed, wanting to tear him apart.
“Ah! The girl is set on revenge against me!” Julius Reed thought to himself, and sure enough, when Anna Harris sneaked a glance at him, the corner of her mouth revealed an imperceptible smirk.
“Then don’t blame me for being merciless.”
Julius Reed sighed, and with a heavy kick, knocked over the weeping girl onto the ground.
After everything, he dusted off his clothes and said with utter calm, “Cry again, and I’ll break your legs! Keep it in!”
Anna Harris was initially startled, having been kicked for no reason. Though it didn’t hurt at all, she ended up lying on the ground because of him.
At that moment, silenced by Julius Reed, she actually stopped crying.
“Get lost. I don’t have time tonight!”
Julius Reed waved his hand dismissively, turned around to pick up the roses, and knelt on one knee in front of Quella Radcliffe: “Will you be my girlfriend?”
