Chapter 550: Chapter 550 Let Her Go_1
“I…”
Anna Harris only felt a wave of dizziness.
Everything before her eyes was black, with the occasional twinkle of a star.
Luckily, the electric baton used by the guard had a low current, and seeing that Anna Harris was a woman, he only ant to warn her.
Aside from a short bout of dizziness, there were no side effects.
“Are you okay?”
Quella Radcliffe held Anna Harris in her arms and asked with concern.
“I’m fine… It’s just, my head’s a little woozy.”
Anna Harris took a deep breath and shook her head; after that, she felt much better.
“Where’s Julius Reed!”
She bared her teeth, asking angrily.
He had played her for a fool; no wonder he stopped her from coming—it was all a setup!
Swindler!
“I’m right here.”
Julius Reed watched as Anna Harris fell to the ground and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Indeed, a scoundrel is ground by another scoundrel.
“You… you can still laugh!”
With help from Quella Radcliffe, Anna Harris touched her head and stood up from the ground.
Although she was still a bit dizzy, it was no longer a bother.
“Good for you! You even dared to trick ! Not only did you give false hope, but now I’ve also been hit by an electric baton for nothing! Tell , what should we do about this!”
Anna Harris was furious.
It was utterly embarrassing.
But the guard in front of her was one of the Leocadia Family mbers, and even if she had the courage of a leopard, she wouldn’t dare to oppose the Leocadia Family.
She could only vent her full anger on Julius Reed.
“Julius, what on earth is going on here?”
Quella Radcliffe was also sowhat displeased.
If Julius Reed was getting back at Anna Harris, this joke had gone too far.
Plus, he had deceived her too!
“Honey, when have I ever lied? The reason I didn’t let her go is because I guessed from the start that she wasn’t up for it! If she can’t even speak clearly, how is she supposed to communicate with others?”
Julius Reed, feeling sowhat helpless, walked up to the guard and said with his hands in his pockets, “The woman behind is the General Manager of Gonzalez City Business Alliance, Ms. Quella Radcliffe. Invited by your Leocadia Family, she cos here to visit the crystal exhibition hall.”
“Haha! Just you wait and see, he’ll get electrocuted soon! Then he’ll fall to the ground just like I did.”
Anna Harris, gloating, took out her phone and said to Quella Radcliffe, “I have to capture this aningful mont and then humiliate him with it every day!”
“No way… Julius, getting shocked by electricity?”
Heartsick from Anna Harris’s words, Quella Radcliffe grew worried.
“Right away, I’ll count to three.”
Anna Harris confidently held up three fingers, “Three, two, one—down!”
Her face even held a hint of excitent.
Won and their thirst for revenge, it’s just too much.
Her words made Quella Radcliffe’s heart also skip a beat.
ZZZT!
With that noise,
The barrier gate lifted.
The guard extended a hand and shook with Julius Reed, saying excitedly, “Welco to the General Manager of Gonzalez City Business Alliance, Ms. Quella Radcliffe, and her family to visit! It’s an honor to serve you! Please, co this way!”
Clatter!
Anna Harris’s phone fell to the ground.
“No way…”
Her eyes widened in disbelief at the scene before her. “What’s going on! Why is it that when I said the sa thing, I got shocked, but he’s fine? There’s even handshaking and saluting?”
“This…”
Quella Radcliffe blinked, equally incredulous.
“Please, co in!”
After communicating with the guard, Julius Reed turned around to look at Anna Harris and shrugged. “I told you not to co. Why bother humiliating yourself! You can’t even speak properly, I really don’t know how you managed all those years of education.”
Having said that, he was the first to walk in.
Sophia Leocadia followed close behind.
“Let’s go in too, Anna. You shouldn’t always bla Julius; he’s actually a nice person. He’s good to , and not bad to you either! You’re always offending him, and that’s not giving him face.”
Quella Radcliffe whispered.
Anna Harris was her close friend and often looked out for her.
But her temper was rough, and she was always at odds with Julius Reed.
However, Quella Radcliffe knew that Anna Harris had a tough exterior but a soft heart, and deep down, she hoped Anna and Julius would get along well.
“Quella, even you say that about …”
Anna Harris’ words trailed off as she was on the verge of tears.
“No! How could I say anything about you! Wait till we get back tonight, I’ll take care of Julius Reed and make sure he doesn’t dare to bully you!”
Quella quickly corrected herself.
“Hehe, you’re the best!”
Anna Harris planted a kiss on her face with a smack.
This made Julius Reed very jealous.
He wondered, should he too steal a kiss on Quella’s face tonight?
But his instincts told him that would be too dangerous.
When passing through security, Anna Harris still felt a bit guilty.
She had just been shocked with a taser, and she hadn’t fully recovered yet.
Seeing the guard’s baton, she felt scared.
Fortunately, with so alarms but no real danger, the group smoothly made their way into the venue.
“Wow! My goodness!”
The mont she entered, Anna Harris couldn’t help exclaiming in surprise.
The room was full of sparkling crystals, each one bigger than the last!
She had been feeling dizzy just a mont ago, but now she was fully revitalized.
In an instant, all eyes in the exhibition hall were drawn to Anna Harris.
“Look, here!”
A Western woman pointed to the ‘No Noise’ sign hanging on the wall, speaking in her choppy Chinese.
“I’m so sorry, so sorry!”
Anna Harris’ face instantly turned red, and she repeatedly apologized with her hands clasped together in sha.
“Ah!”
Julius Reed stretched lazily and said leisurely, “Now I know why they put a threshold on the exhibition hall. They’re afraid that so people who’ve never seen the world would co here and can’t help but make a ruckus. It’s embarrassing!”
“Julius!”
Quella gave him a look.
“Quella, you see, he’s bullying !”
Anna Harris had tears swirling in her eyes.
His words had hit her hard.
She couldn’t help but scream at the sight of the crystals, while everyone else remained so composed.
“I’ve hurt my own pride!”
Anna Harris leaned into Quella’s embrace and cried, “I don’t belong here, I want to go back.”
“It’s okay, Julius Reed is always like that with his mouth, even with . He’s just joking, don’t take it seriously,”
Quella gently patted Anna Harris, trying to calm her, while she gave Julius Reed a stern look.
“It’s fine, let her go!”
Julius Reed said cheerfully, “If she dares to leave, I’ll kneel and wash clothes when I get back, after the washboard, I’ll kneel on instant noodles, then kneel on an exercise ball, and then on a keyboard!”
After he finished speaking, even Sophia Leocadia’s view of Julius Reed changed.
So harsh on himself!
Or was it that such an outstanding man had no standing at ho?
“Are you serious?”
Anna Harris looked at Julius Reed with reddened eyes.
“I an what I say!”
Julius Reed nodded.
“Fine! Today I’ll make your life a misery!”
Anna Harris snorted softly, turned around, and headed toward the exit.
“Anna! Co back here!”
Quella stomped her foot in resignation, wondering why these two always fought upon eting.
“It’s fine, let her go! The rules of this exhibition hall apply to everyone, no matter who or what status. Once you leave, you can’t co back in!”
Julius Reed said aloud on purpose, “I’d love to kneel on instant noodles today!”
Hearing his words, Anna Harris halted in her tracks.
If she went out, she couldn’t co back in?
That wouldn’t do!
What a loss!
So, Anna Harris turned around, smiling at Quella, “What if he bullied you while I’m not here?”
After speaking, she ran to Quella’s side, and looking at Julius Reed, she said, “You’re getting off easy!”
Seeing her best friend’s stark contrast, Quella shook her head and sighed helplessly.
Too real!
