Chapter 549: Chapter 549: The Taste of an Electric Baton_1
Seeing Anna Harris’s triumphant expression, Julius Reed really wanted to spill the truth.
Just thinking about the expression on this woman’s face, who stirred up trouble everywhere, when she found out that her object of envy was the Leocadia Family princess.
Julius couldn’t help but want to laugh.
“What are you laughing at!”
Quella Radcliffe leaned close to Julius, hooked his arm, and batted her doe eyes, “Is there sothing good going on? Tell about it.”
“No. I was just thinking about how delightful it was to share a bed with my wife this morning.”
Julius said with a cheeky grin.
“Pah!”
Quella got even angrier when she heard this.
She really wondered if Julius was even a normal man.
A man and a woman alone in a room together, and she’d already been so forward—couldn’t he think of sothing to do?
Instead, he had the nerve to comfortably sleep away the entire morning.
“Ahh, my wife, I was wrong!”
Julius was suddenly dumbfounded and couldn’t resist but lant, “The heart of a woman, as fathomless as the sea!”
The crystal exhibition hall was located at the very back of the Five-state International Building, originally a separate small plaza.
When the exhibition was set up, this place beca the crystal exhibition hall.
The area was big enough, and it was very open around the edges, allowing many people to catch a glimpse of the exhibits inside through the glass.
Around the exhibition hall, dozens of security guards continuously patrolled.
But obviously, the Leocadia Family would not leave sothing as important as security in the hands of outsiders.
Starting from the entrance to the crystal exhibition hall and all the way inside, the Leocadia Family’s security team was on guard.
According to Sophia Leocadia, the family dispatched nearly a hundred elite mbers for this event.
All of them were the type who could take on ten opponents single-handedly on a regular day.
“Sophia, why don’t you go tell the guards at the entrance that we are friends of the general manager of the Gonzalez City Business Alliance and have them open the gates for us?”
As they neared the entrance to the crystal exhibition hall, Julius patted Sophia Leocadia on the shoulder.
If they just walked in like this, they would certainly give themselves away.
Now that they were fifty ters away from the exhibition hall, by the ti they got there, Sophia Leocadia would have just finished communicating with the exhibition hall’s security.
“No need! Let granny handle it!”
Anna Harris patted her chest and volunteered.
How could she miss such an opportunity to show off and garner respect?
rely being able to enter the crystal exhibition hall was an unexpected delight.
Now she had a chance to strut her stuff, and she was more than pleased with herself.
Quella was her best friend, and Anna felt this was a matter of pride for her as well.
Julius was frightened out of his wits when he heard Anna’s offer!
If she really went over there, she’d probably get thrashed on the spot and then booted out!
Who even recognizes you?
Before the mighty Leocadia Family of the capital, Gonzalez City was nothing but a backwater.
“Anna Harris, let Sophia handle this kind of errand! She’s the youngest, so she should be doing more. You all are the older sisters; how could you lose such stature?”
Julius hurriedly tried to stop her.
“Yes, sisters, wait here, and I’ll take care of it quickly!”
Sophia bounced in front of Anna Harris, “I’ll be back in no ti!”
The guards at the entrance naturally knew Sophia since the first thing one does when joining the Leocadia household is to get to know all of its mbers.
Otherwise, if you make a blunder, how could you even expect to keep your job?
As long as Sophia went over, she was the best access card.
But surely, those people would greet her with a “Miss.”
Sophia didn’t want to be exposed.
“No way! Little sister, you’re the youngest, I can’t bully you! Let your elder sister handle it, or soone might say I’m picking on children.”
Anna gave Julius a disdainful glance and gently said to Sophia, “You wait here, little sister, your big sister will go over.”
“Let’s go together, I’ll accompany big sister.”
Sophia felt helpless.
After all, she was also an eighteen-year-old young lady; why did people always treat her like a child?
Although Anna and the others were in their twenties, they were only a few years older than her!
Feeling utterly without a choice.
As long as we go for a less ethical strategy.
With two of us going together, we should be able to get in naturally.
When the ti cos, just give those guards a glance, and there shouldn’t be any problems.
After all, anyone working for the Leocadia Family must be sharp-witted.
“No need, you wait here, I run fast!”
Anna Harris said, then took off towards the crystal exhibition hall with large strides.
“Sophia! Keep up!”
Seeing that things were going awry, Julius Reed hurriedly called out to Sophia Leocadia.
“Hmm.”
Sophia Leocadia nodded, imdiately following behind.
“What’s the difference who goes? Isn’t it the sa?”
Quella Radcliffe, having seen what just happened, was very puzzled.
Or rather, couldn’t they just reveal their identities upon arrival? Wouldn’t that work just the sa?
Is there sothing different?
Besides, judging by Julius Reed’s expression, he seed very reluctant to let Anna Harris go.
There seems to be a problem here.
“It’s the sa, but maybe it’s better to communicate in advance.”
Julius Reed answered absent-mindedly, his eyes locked on what lay ahead.
Anna Harris was running too fast; she herself was a track and field expert, and according to Quella Radcliffe, she held the university record for the 400 ters during her college days.
No one has broken that record to this day.
Needless to say, Sophia Leocadia, born into wealth, couldn’t keep up at all.
“Stop! What are you doing?”
Upon seeing soone rushing this way, the Leocadia Family guard stepped forward.
“We’re friends of Itai Huntington, General Manager of the Gonzalez City Business Alliance. Open the door!”
Anna Harris said, breathlessly.
She had run too fast, was sowhat agitated, and indeed, it had been too long since she last exercised; her body couldn’t keep up anymore.
“What did you say?”
The guard captain looked at her with a cold gaze.
“I said open the door! We’re friends of the General Manager of the Gonzalez City Business Alliance, invited to view the exhibition!”
Anna Harris stated with bold entitlent.
“Sorry, we don’t recognize you! For the entire exhibition, if you don’t have a door card attached to the invitation letter, you can’t get in!”
The guard’s expression darkened as he glared at the ‘crazy woman’ in front of him: “I am giving you a warning now. You have five seconds to leave quickly! Otherwise, we will take asures!”
So General Manager of the Business Alliance, even Itai Huntington didn’t have the privilege to co to the crystal exhibition hall.
So people from a small place seriously overvalue themselves!
“Hey! What’s wrong with you! Call your captain out!”
Anna Harris was very unhappy, and she didn’t care who the other person was when she started making a scene.
“Don’t!”
Just then, Sophia Leocadia finally caught up from behind and shouted with her eyes widened.
But it was still half a step too late.
The electric prod in the guard’s hand made contact directly with Anna Harris.
Crack!
As the sound of electric current erged,
Anna Harris felt her head spin and collapsed on the spot.
“Miss!”
Upon seeing Sophia Leocadia, the guard quickly put away the electric prod and saluted respectfully.
“She’s my friend, and so are the two behind . But I don’t want to reveal my identity, understand?”
Sophia Leocadia said sternly.
“Understood!”
The guard captain’s eyes rolled, naturally understanding what was happening.
How could one work for the Leocadia Family without being at least a little cunning?
“Anna!”
Quella Radcliffe and Julius Reed, seeing Anna Harris fall to the ground, also hurried over.
