Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Planning to Enter the Capital_1
“Do you bla for killing your uncle?”
In the back of a taxi, Julius Reed sat in the back seat, looking at Dempsey Davenport, who seed to be in a daze.
He had already given Pier Davenport a chance, but obviously, the man had not cherished it.
If he didn’t kill him, next ti, Pier Davenport would still co with people.
He couldn’t guarantee that these beasts wouldn’t think of killing Dempsey Davenport.
If Dempsey died, it would probably take Quella Radcliffe a long ti to recover from the pain of losing her best friend.
Now that Pier Davenport was dead, and with that phone call earlier, the Davenport Family might really need to seriously consider whether they still want to catch Dempsey Davenport and take her back to Gonzalez City.
“No, I don’t hate you at all.”
Dempsey Davenport gave a bitter smile, raised her head, and looked at Julius Reed. “Thank you. If it hadn’t been for you showing up in ti, I might already be on a plane by now, not knowing when I could return and see you and Quella again. Maybe, it would’ve been a farewell forever.”
Marrying into the Leocadia Family, she wouldn’t be happy.
She might not even live to see thirty.
In such a family full of overt and covert battles, she could only be a sacrifice.
“I don’t have much affection for them, maybe because I was born illegitimate. Others have millions and tens of millions of allowance, but all my expenses, I’ve earned on my own. To put it nicely, the young lady of the Davenport Family in the capital. I don’t know how many people envy , thinking I live a life where everything is served on a silver platter.”
“But the reality is, my status in the Davenport Family was like that of a maid, serving these people all day long. They’d hit and scold at the slightest displeasure. This would often extend to my biological mother, who would get beaten along with .”
“Later when I went to school, I was like a tutor to my peers, my siblings.”
“But I was very competitive; all my grades were at the top of my class.”
At this point, a hint of pride flashed across Dempsey Davenport’s face as she looked at Julius Reed, proudly saying, “In my freshman year, I got all the scholarships!”
“Truly impressive, but how did you et Quella Radcliffe? The universities in the capital are so good, why did you co to Five-river Province?”
Julius Reed leaned back in the taxi’s rear seat, curiously asking.
“My grades were too good, which made my father’s first wife’s son very unhappy. So, I was forcibly ordered to drop out and was not allowed to go to school anymore.”
At this point, Dempsey Davenport’s face darkened.
This was her eternal pain.
No matter how she proved her excellence, in the end, she couldn’t shake off the identity of being born out of wedlock.
“Later I ran away from ho and ca to Gonzalez City. It seed that my family mbers were also happy to let roll out, and nobody bothered about .”
Dempsey Davenport supported her chin with her hand, looking at the beautiful scenery of Gonzalez City, smiling, “Those were my best tis.”
“I could try to help you.”
Julius Reed looked at Dempsey Davenport.
“No need, you’ve already helped enough. The Davenport Family in the capital is very capable, and I’m worried you might get involved because of . And my mother, she might get scolded because of today’s events.”
Dempsey Davenport’s eyes suddenly reddened. “I don’t mind it for myself, but my mother…”
At this, she burst into tears.
“Co stay at our place for now; stay here for a while.”
When the car stopped in front of the mansion where Julius Reed lived, he said to Dempsey Davenport, “This way, Quella can also feel at ease. Besides, my house is very spacious, the ho of a rich family—plenty of room for you.”
At his words, Dempsey Davenport couldn’t help but crack a tearful smile, “Then I’m imposing on you. I never thought I’d cause you so much trouble.”
She felt a sense of guilt inside.
Using Julius as a shield last ti, she had been saved once.
This ti, it was Julius Reed who had showed up in the nick of ti.
To be honest, she envied Quella Radcliffe.
For having such an excellent husband.
The so-called loser in other people’s mouths?
Perhaps no one knows how powerful this man really is!
After the two got out of the taxi, the taxi driver spat outside: “Pah! They really think they’re so kind of nobility! Those two can really talk up a storm; anyone who didn’t know would think they’re so kind of bosses.”
Even such a soft mumble didn’t escape Julius Reed’s ears.
He gently kicked a pebble on the ground.
Whiz!
The taxi that had just driven off suddenly stopped.
“What happened?”
Hearing the sound of the ergency brakes, Dempsey Davenport turned around, looked at the taxi, and asked in confusion.
“He might have done sothing unscrupulous, got a flat tire perhaps!”
Julius Reed pointed to the mansion: “Let’s go up. Once you’re in this building, you’ll be safe.”
There were Willson Pavilion disciples inside guarding it, and Cosmo was there.
The average Shadow Warrior would probably be killed before they even got close.
“What about you?”
Dempsey Davenport asked, turning around.
“? I’ll have a cigarette to calm down.”
Julius Reed said with a teasing smile.
“You still smoke?”
Dempsey Davenport found it a bit unbelievable.
In her impression, Julius was a good man who neither smoked nor drank.
“Of course… Just don’t tell Quella Radcliffe about it, okay!”
After finishing his words, Julius turned and walked towards the street.
“Pfft!”
Dempsey rolled her eyes, her bad mood completely dissipated.
Once on the street, Julius took out his phone and made a call.
“You… why did you suddenly think to call ?”
On the other end of the call, Sophia Leocadia asked excitedly.
Her voice was filled with anticipation, surprise, and even a trace of shyness.
Sophia never dread that Julius would call her.
Especially in the middle of the night.
“I need a bit of help with sothing, hope you can assist .”
Julius was sowhat troubled.
He honestly couldn’t rember how he knew Sophia.
And this young lady was so devoted in helping him, expecting nothing in return.
“Tell , I’m all ears.”
Sophia said with a sweet smile, “Hehe, just tell what you need, don’t be shy.”
Talking to Julius put Sophia in a very good mood.
Just monts ago, she took a short nap and even dread about Julius.
“The Davenport Family, Dempsey Davenport, she seems to be your distant cousin, do you recall?”
Julius inquired.
According to what Dempsey had said, their families were related.
The Davenports were allied with the Leocadia family because of kinship ties.
“I know, what’s up? It seems like there’s been trouble in the Davenport family lately.”
Sophia remarked.
“Dempsey’s birth mother, help take care of her, make sure she’s not mistreated.”
Julius said softly.
“Dempsey… you… you and her…”
Sophia’s voice trembled a bit.
Could it be…
Could it be that the beautiful girl from the Davenport family and…
“Don’t overthink it, she is… uh… my wife’s best friend, I can’t just stand by and not help…”
Julius explained awkwardly.
What a ss this all was!
Indeed, excellent n have problems wherever they go.
No way around it, who asked to be so charming to won?
“Oh! Alright! I’ll head over to the Davenports now.”
Sophia replied very decisively.
“So late, maybe tomorrow…”
“Our families aren’t far apart, of course I’ll do my best with your matters!”
Sophia said cheerfully.
“Your grandfather is sick?”
Julius suddenly asked.
“Mmm, he’s been ill for a long ti, I’m afraid he might not make it.”
Sophia instantly beca somber upon ntioning this.
“After the New Year, I’ll visit the capital and heal your grandfather.”
Julius remarked nonchalantly.
“Really?”
Sophia’s tone was filled with surprise and excitent.
“I wouldn’t lie to you.”
Julius laughed.
