    “Back already?”


    “Mm-hmm!”


    Julius Reed walked to Que Radcliffe’s bedside and ced the ne gift box above her head.


    “This is for you.”


    “For me?”


    Que 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, Que 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 me you.”


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


    Extremely luxurious!


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


    Yet Que 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 Reedy back on the bed, gazing at the ceiling, “Starting from tomorrow, I will make sure you live a good life.”


    “Mm-hmm!”


    Que Radcliffepared 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 coborate 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, Que Radcliffe was also invited.


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


    Que’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-inw! If it weren’t for him, Que would never have ended up in such straits!”


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


    Three years ago.


    Que was the Radcliffe Family’s most cherished child.


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


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


    Instead, Donny Radcliffe had be 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?”


    Que Radcliffe sneaked a nce 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 haspletely 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-inw away from their home.


    But no matter how she scolded, he justughed it off.


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


    Que Radcliffe furrowed her brow, feeling dissatisfied.


    Even though Julius Reed wasn’t much of an achiever, for the past three years he had diligently doneundry 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 nced at the clock and stood up to leave.


    “Don’t mind her.”


    Que 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 Que Radcliffe with a face full of happiness.


    He really wanted to tell Que 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, Que 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-inw!”


    Seeing the Audis, BMWs, and other luxury cars at thepany entrance, Knox Ridge red 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 ipetent, and their life would get worse by the day.


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


    Although Que 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!”


    Que 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 mmed 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 thepany 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-inw bought me an X5 a few days ago; it’s reallyfortable 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-inw 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-inw, 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! Que, that ne 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.”


    Que 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 nes, 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 asion.


    “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 ne 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 nces her way.


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


    Someone with sharp eyes suddenly noticed the resemnce.
