Chapter 315: Chapter 314 Knox Ridge Falls Ill_1
“Let go of me!”
Otis Radcliffe struggled to break free, but the security guard’srge hand gripped him like a vice.
“Crazy woman, stop it!”
He tried desperately to dodge, but Dempsey Davenport was no pushover. The high heel in her hand came crashing down like mad, instantly leaving Otis’s head bloody and battered.
“What’s going on!”
Themotion was too loud and had clearly rmed Zade Radcliffe and the people of the Radcliffe n at the entrance.
“Who gave you the audacity to do this! Release the young master at once!”
Seeing Otis’s face covered in blood after being hit by Dempsey Davenport, Zade Radcliffe was shocked and appalled.
This time they hade in high spirits, purely to show Que Radcliffe a lesson.
Before setting out, Zade had already contacted members of the Radcliffe n, who then passed the message to the employees below.<div>
It was for this reason that the security guard had been listening only to Otis earlier.
Now that his own grandson had been beaten like this, how could Zade Radcliffe let the matter rest!
He was now the General Manager of Northern Power Electronics, and one purpose of this trip was to acquire the Radcliffe Group, as well as to finalize cooperation with Miguel Abbott and Stanius Potter.
Once this deal was sessful, not only would his worth surpass his previous fortunes, but he would also elevate the Radcliffe Family to the top-tier elite.
“Your grandson was disobedient, and someone’s giving him the discipline you couldn’t.”
Julius Reed said in a slow drawl.
“A bunch of bastards!”
Zade Radcliffe rushed forward, took the high heel from Dempsey Davenport, and mmed it fiercely on the ground: “Who gave you the nerve to be so cruel to my grandson!”
The high heel was sharp, and fueled by her thirst for vengeance, Dempsey Davenport had opened several gashes in Otis’s head, with blood now streaming down his forehead.
“Grandson, are you alright?”
He hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and frantically wiped the blood from Otis’s face.
“You pack of dogs, daring to abet tyranny!”
Zade Radcliffe raised his hand to strike the security guard’s face, but before the p couldnd, his hand was firmly grasped by the guard.
These newly arrived security guards were loyal to Aron Jackson and had changed into Radcliffe Group security uniforms to ensure Que Radcliffe’s safety and the order within the Group.
Julius Reed had anticipated that the Radcliffe grandfather and grandson would try to win hearts this way, so he had prepared in advance, not expecting it would actuallye in handy.
“What are you doing!”
Zade Radcliffe struggled, but the guard’s strength was great, immobilizing himpletely.
“Que Radcliffe, you’ve really outdone yourself! Getting security to restrain your own grandfather—if word of this gets out…”
“Release them.”<div>
With a wave from Julius Reed, the guards immediately let go of Zade and Otis Radcliffe.
“You…”
Watching the guards obey orders so swiftly, Zade Radcliffe looked at Julius Reed with a mix of wariness and respect.
Even a fool could guess these were Julius’s people.<div>
And his own trusted men had been beaten to the ground, wailing nonstop.
“Let’s go!”
Zade Radcliffe snorted coldly and strode towards the Radcliffe Group building.
Important guests were arriving soon, and he couldn’t miss this chance to turn his fortunes around.
“Just you wait!”
Otis Radcliffe wanted to take his revenge on Dempsey Davenport, but upon seeing the surrounding guards, he spat out a harsh threat and beat a sullen retreat.
A wise man knows better than to fight a losing battle; that much he understood.
Que Radcliffe was also feeling down after such an incident, but hosting Miguel Abbott and Stanius Potter was a matter of utmost importance, so she forced herself to enter the building.
But just as she took a step forward, her phone rang—it was Knox Ridge.
“Mom. What’s up?”
The mother and daughter hadn’t been in touch much since theirst argument.
Even though the divorce from Julius Reed had finally made her parents happy, the ensuing financial pressures and facing inquiries from rtives and friends had kept Knox Ridge from feeling any joy.
She had been busy with two thingstely.<div>
One was to help Que Radcliffe find a new boyfriend, and the second was to make overtures to Zade Radcliffe.
After all, he was Burl Radcliffe’s biological father and had recently be the general manager of North Energy Electronics, his prominence even greater than before.
How could Knox Ridge dare to offend such an elder?
“Que, I’m your father. Your mom suddenly fainted and is now receiving treatment at the Central Hospital. The doctor said her condition is very serious, you need toe quickly!”
Burl Radcliffe’s urgent voice came through the phone.
“What happened!”
At Burl Radcliffe’s words, Que Radcliffe felt a shock in her heart.
Although Knox Ridge was usually haughty, she had always been in good health.
Of course, this was inseparable from the three years of cooking by Julius Reed.
And with such an urgent phone call, Que Radcliffe’s nerves inevitably tensed.
“The doctor said it’s cerebral hemorrhage, the condition is extremely dangerous! Get here now, or you might miss seeing your mom for thest time!”
Zade Radcliffe shouted loudly on the phone, “Knox Ridge, you must hold on, our daughter is on her way, don’t leave us father and daughter behind!”
“Dad, which room are you in? I’m on my way!”<div>
Que Radcliffe’s heart sank, and her hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
The sudden illness of her biological mother made tears swirl in her eyes, but she held back and didn’t let them fall.
“Fifth floor, room 503! You have to be quick! If you’rete, you might not get to see your mom for thest time!”
After Zade Radcliffe finished speaking, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
“What’s wrong?”
Noticing that Que Radcliffe’s mood was off, Julius Reed quickly went over.
“I need to go to the Central Hospital, Julius,e with me.”
Que Radcliffe’s nose tingled as she fought back tears.
“Madam Chairman, what about Mr. Abbott and Boss Potter…”
Dempsey Davenport looked troubled.
It wasn’t easy for Radcliffe Group to establish rtions with two major enterprises.
If the visiting CEOs discover that the Chairman is not present, what would they think?
This meeting was crucial to the future of the Group.<div>
Moreover, with the Radcliffe grandfather and grandchild watching like tigers, who knew what might happen if Que Radcliffe was absent.
The Radcliffe Family was already following Zade Radcliffe’s directives, and without Que Radcliffe there, the Group wouldpletely lose control.
“I can’t worry about that now!”
Que Radcliffe steeled her heart and instructed Dempsey Davenport, “Please receive the two CEOs on my behalf!”
Having said that, she grabbed Julius Reed’s hand and ran toward the parking lot.
“My mom’s had a cerebral hemorrhage, I’m afraid…”
As she spoke, Que Radcliffe finally couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.
“Your mom is very healthy, how could she have a cerebral hemorrhage?”
Julius Reed’s brow furrowed slightly, feeling that something was amiss.
In his years with the Radcliffe Family, through his own memories, he had bnced various ingredients in their diet, ensuring the Radcliffes wouldn’t suffer from any illnesses.
In fact, in the three years since he married into the family, aside from the asional cold, the health of this small Radcliffe household was quite robust, and they were not expected to have any problems for years.
“It was a call from my dad. Julius, I know you have issues with my mother, but she is my birth mother, and at times like this, please don’t hold it against her.”
Que Radcliffe took her seat behind the wheel, her words tinged with sadness.
“Alright, I’ll drive. After all, I can drive faster.”
Julius Reed didn’t want to say more; too much talking would only lead to conflict between him and Que Radcliffe.
As long as he was there, Que Radcliffe would be safe.
“Okay!”
In such moments, Que Radcliffe no longer argued with Julius Reed, and simply got out of the car to sit in the passenger seat.
Boom!
With the roar of the engine, Julius Reed sped toward the Central Hospital.
