Chapter 560: Chapter 560: You’ve Lost Your Leg_1
The Leocadia Family invited distinguished guests to visit the crystal exhibition hall, and Winona Leocadia was fully involved throughout the process.
Even if Bran Cook did not say it, she knew that the youth before her did not have the qualifications to enter.
The reason was simple.
In the vast Gonzalez City, only Ovidiu Cook had received an invitation.
But today, Ovidiu Cook was not in Gonzalez City due to a meeting.
The three individuals before her could only have sneaked in secretly.
Thinking of this, she intended to hold the security personnel at the door accountable immediately.
Given the importance of the crystal exhibition hall, the security staff at the door were all elite security from the Leocadia Family.
How could they let three people brazenly infiltrate was simply inexcusable.
But for now, dealing with these three was the priority.
“Speak up! Are you guilty of thievery?”
Winona Leocadia straightened her suit and asked coldly.
Behind her, other security personnel she had brought were already blocking the door, ready to take action at any moment.
After all, this was not a glorious affair, and Winona Leocadia did not wish to make too big a commotion.
If the guests inside the house were disturbed, it would not look good for the Leocadia Family.
“Who are you calling a thief!”
Anna Harris was already irate, and now being haughtily interrogated, the rage in her heart was ignited once again.
After all, they had entered legitimately, what was there to fear?
“If you are not thieves, then may I ask, who is the invited guest?”
Winona Leocadia huffed lightly and said coldly, “If you cannot tell me, I will treat you as thieves!”
For those who sneaked in , the Leocadia Family usually handled it themselves.
Directly take them out and give them a beating, rendering them useless.
After all, for matters they could handle themselves, there was no need to trouble the authorities.
And no one dared to oppose the Leocadia Family.
“Quella Radcliffe, General Manager of the Gonzalez City Business Alliance. Look it up! Open your dog eyes, and take a good look! What nonsense!”
Anna Harris cursed, hands on her hips.
Today had already been rough, and now with Winona Leocadia’s interference, Anna Harris completely lost her temper.
“Hurry up and check, and after you’re done, apologize to me.”
“Gonzalez City Business Alliance, General Manager?”
Winona Leocadia smiled and shook her head: “Sorry, I have never seen this person on the invitation list. Miss, could you be mistaken?”
“Impossible!” Anna Harris said indignantly: “Check now. If it was not so, how could we possibly have come in?”
Just now, Julius Reed had definitely announced Quella Radcliffe’s name, and that was why the security let them in.
All of this had been seen with Anna Harris’s own eyes, heard with her own ears.
There could not be any mistake.
However, Quella Radcliffe’s heart skipped a beat.
Just as she suspected, there was something fishy about the situation.
Even Itai Huntington, the Chairman of the Gonzalez City Business Alliance, was not qualified to enter, so how could she, as a General Manager, possibly have that right?
Plus, it seemed like the security personnel at the door were quite courteous.
Even when she and Anna Harris returned from the restroom, the security personnel at the door still wore a smile.
She observed that aside from herself and Anna Harris, when others entered, the security personnel at the door were expressionless.
After verifying identities, they acted as if they saw nothing.
Just letting them through.
Could it be Julius Reed…
Then why did this lady dare to make things difficult for them?
“Miss, please do not make an unreasonable fuss! I can almost recite the names of the invited guests on the list from memory. In Gonzalez City, only Mr. Ovidiu Cook, Chairman of Titan Group, would receive an invitation. As for the so-called Quella Radcliffe, sorry, I don’t know what that is,”
Winona Leocadia said with utter contempt.
In her view, the so-called business alliance was not worth mentioning.
After all, trying to integrate so many merchants was not an easy task in itself.
And Bran Cook, who brought up this matter, was like a dog that had lost its home.
This made Winona Leocadia harbor not the slightest fondness for this business alliance.
“You, what did you just say?”
Julius Reed walked up to Winona Leocadia and asked aloud.
“I said, in Gonzalez City there’s only Mr. Ovidiu Cook…”
“Not that sentence, the last one.”
Julius Reed said indifferently.
On his face, there was no expression to be seen.
But those who knew him were well aware that Julius Reed was truly angry now.
“I said, what is Quella Radcliffe anyway!”
Winona Leocadia said with a scornful smile, “So, what? Am I wrong? People should be self-aware. A so-called general manager who’s worth nothing dares to speak up?”
If he was going to avenge Bran Cook, he would have to make these three people in front of him feel embarrassed.
Besides, to the Leocadia Family, Quella Radcliffe really didn’t amount to much.
“Very well. You will regret it.”
Julius Reed smiled faintly and nodded, “I appreciate you; what is your name?”
“I’ve already told you. My name is Winona Leocadia.”
Winona Leocadia replied somewhat displeased.
He had introduced himself when he arrived.
“Now, answer my question.”
Winona Leocadia turned the front desk computer toward himself and entered Quella Radcliffe’s name into the guest list.
The display showed that there was no such person.
“How is that possible!”
Anna Harris felt as if her brain couldn’t cope.
Why then were the security guards so polite to her at the door?
“Now, do you have anything else to say?”
Winona Leocadia’s face darkened as he waved his hand, “Take them away!”
Julius Reed called out to him and handed him the phone, “Take a call.”
“Ha, I don’t have time! We’ll talk about whatever it is after we go outside. Take them away!”
Winona Leocadia certainly didn’t have time to waste on three nobodies here.
After dealing with the Crystal Hall, he still needed to inspect the outside.
He would absolutely not let go of this hard-won opportunity to enhance his own status.
“You will regret it.”
Julius Reed said with a smile, “Just now, you insulted my wife, and now I am formally notifying you that your two legs, they are gone.”
“Are you threatening me?”
Winona Leocadia’s eyebrows raised as if he had heard the world’s funniest joke, “Do you realize that just with that sentence, I could make you spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair, unable to stand up?”
He was one of the Leocadia Family Members; in a small place like Gonzalez City, to be threatened by someone else was the world’s biggest joke.
Julius Reed looked at his watch, “In ten seconds, I will make you regret it.”
Having said that, he took Quella Radcliffe and Anna Harris and walked toward the entrance.
Winona Leocadia’s brows furrowed and he hastened to follow them.
He absolutely could not let these people get away.
The security guards were nimble; in nearly one second, they all blocked Julius Reed’s path.
At that moment, Sophia Leocadia rushed in from outside, panting.
She had just received a phone call from home, and because it concerned the affairs of the Leocadia Family, she left the Crystal Exhibition Hall.
Who would have thought that in such a short time a problem would have arisen?
“Miss, what are you doing here!”
Seeing Sophia Leocadia, Winona Leocadia hurried over and said ingratiatingly, “If only you had said something, I would have sent someone to pick you up.”
