Chapter 245: Chapter 244 Why I Don’t Dare 1
Translator: 549690339
Upon hearing Stanislaus Potter’s address, not only Richard and his associates, but also Quella Radcliffe and Dempsey Davenport’s faces all changed.
In Five-river Province, the number of people who could be respectfully called Mr. by the chairman of Golden Eagle Group could be counted on one hand!
“Uncle, what are you talking about?”
Richard’s face went pale, and he felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.
Stanislaus Potter was indeed his biological father, and Julius Reed was not wrong. But this matter was very secretive, and no one else knew about it.
Because it involved the interests of the Golden Eagle Group, Stanislaus Potter always kept it a secret, to the extent that Quamaine Potter didn’t even know he had a half-brother.
In public, Stanislaus Potter claimed that Richard was a distant relative, and Richard always addressed him as uncle at public events.
With the backing of Golden Eagle Group, who in Five-river Province would dare to disrespect Richard?
Furthermore, with a substantial amount of funds invested, Fast Logistics quickly rose to prominence in Five-river Province and established cooperation with many large enterprises.
Now that this matter was being publicly revealed, Stanislaus Potter should, by all rights, have been even more furious. After all, one does not air one’s dirty laundry in public, and this had not just been aired but announced to everyone.
But Richard did not see even a trace of anger on his biological father’s face; he even sensed a hint of fear.
“What exactly happened just now?”
Stanislaus Potter also realized that he had somewhat lost his composure, so he quickly resumed his normal demeanor, returning to the imposing boss he was known to be.
Behind him, Miguel Abbott also had a stern expression, his eyes constantly sizing up Zalman Michael.
Although the two of them were closely related, in front of Julius Reed, would Octavius Abbott, who wouldn’t hesitate to abandon his own daughter, even care for a mistress?
“Uncle, this man insulted me and Sister Zalman. Had it not been for the sake of Willson Group, I would’ve taken care of him long ago!”
Richard quickly vented to Stanislaus Potter, his previously confident self never having to endure such humiliation.
In Five-river Province, while he did not compare to the Four Masters, with Stanislaus Potter backing him, everyone respectfully called him young master.
Even when facing Zalman Michael, he could negotiate with his back straight.
But today, he had been insulted by a man who had married into the family, and what was more, Julius Reed had disclosed his biggest secret, leaving him no place to hide his face.
“That’s right! I can testify for Richard. We were discussing a business deal when this nobody came out of nowhere and insulted me!”
Zalman Michael frowned slightly, looking at Stanislaus Potter: “I, Zalman Michael, have been in Five-river Province for so long, and yet no one has dared to point their finger and curse at me. Richard couldn’t stand seeing me being insulted and wanted to seek justice, but this man responded with even more foul language!”
Today’s events had surprisingly involved both Miguel Abbott and Stanislaus Potter, which was somewhat unexpected for Zalman Michael.
But if she could garner even a little more favor from Stanislaus Potter, Zalman Michael was happy to do so, especially since she had the support of Octavius Abbott.
When Octavius Abbott heard the term “nobody,” his heart gave a shudder. It was the great Buddha he had nourished, and this foolish woman had offended him!
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, calculating how to extricate the situation.
Considering his understanding of Julius Reed
“Boss Potter, hear me out!”
Seeing Zalman Michael pointing the finger first, Quella Radcliffe quickly stood up, bowing respectfully: “Things are not as they seem. Ever since I sat down here, Richard has been verbally harassing me, and Julius Reed is my husband, naturally he wouldn’t tolerate this. But Richard was pressing and constantly insulting my husband, so in a fit of anger, Julius merely blurted out a retort.”
In the face of the well-known Stanislaus Potter, Quella Radcliffe dared not harbor any illusions of luck.
If he really went after Julius Reed, the situation could turn very bad.
What Quella did not know was that Julius Reed had already put Stanislaus Potter in his place.
Hearing Quella’s words, Richard sneered: “That’s called a retort? Calling Miss Zalman the mistress of Boss Abbott, claiming that I’m the son of my Uncle, that’s outright slander! Miss Radcliffe, if I were to say that you’re someone else’s mistress…”
Before Richard could finish his words, Julius Reed slapped him across the face.
He looked towards a baffled Richard.
Quella Radcliffe was her own inner sanctuary, which no one was permitted to dishonor, or else.
Julius Reed grabbed Richard’s head and slammed it violently against the glass tabletop of the restaurant.
“Why wouldn’t I dare?”
The immense force made Richard dizzy and nearly pass out.
“What’s going on here!”
The restaurant’s security guards immediately surrounded them, and, seeing the commotion, prepared to reach for their radios to call for backup. “This brother here, we’re all our own people, just kidding around.”
Miguel Abbott hurried to stop the security guard, then looked towards
Stanislaus Potter: “Isn’t that right, Brother Potter?”
They were still unaware that Julius Reed was the real boss behind the scenes, but they were very clear about Julius Reed’s strength.
How could they afford to lose someone they had just managed to befriend?
Moreover, causing trouble in Willson Group territory was bound to be troublesome if investigated.
The security guard naturally recognized Miguel Abbott, but with Stanislaus Potter standing beside him, if Potter said something different, they would have no choice but to proceed with their duties.
“Just messing around, didn’t mean to disturb you!”
Stanislaus Potter said with a faint smile, casually pulling out a card from his pocket: “There’s a hundred thousand in here, no pin. Have a drink on me, brothers.”
Since the operation against the Leopold Family was extremely successful, Stanislaus Potter began to reevaluate the pros and cons.
If even the Leopold Family couldn’t withstand it, what would be the outcome if he kept seeking revenge?
Now that he had cooled down from the heat of passion, he began to reassess the situation.
“Since that’s the case, we won’t disturb Boss Abbott and Boss Potter’s drinking any longer! ”
The security tucked the card into his pocket and left quickly with the staff after nodding and smiling.
Money aside, they wouldn’t dare to offend these two big bosses even without a bribe.
“Brother Potter, you sure have quite a few bank cards there!”
Miguel Abbott eyed Stanislaus Potter and asked with a grin.
“It’s a habit! Before Golden Eagle Group grew big, I inevitably had to deal with all sorts of people. As they say, little ghosts are hard to deal with; these were all unavoidable.”
Stanislaus Potter smiled faintly, sliding his hand into his pocket and then pulling it out quickly.
Inside, there were indeed several bank cards!
Richard staggered up from the table, his face smeared with streaks of blood.
“You must stand up for me!”
He sat painfully on a chair, looking incredibly ferocious.
“To dare to hit someone right in front of us, Boss Potter, why didn’t you let the security handle this?”
Zalman Michael also didn’t understand; it was such a great opportunity!
To kill with a borrowed knife.
Did anyone who caused trouble on Willson Group territory expect to leave alive?
But Stanislaus Potter actually ordered the guards to leave! What kind of medicine was really being sold in this gourd?
