Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Blood Revenge for Father’s Death_1
“Arlo Percival, why…why did you do this?”
Julius Reed sat in a chair, looking down at Arlo Percival kneeling at his feet, twirling a finger around and said, “With just one day as husband and wife cos a hundred days of grace, let alone the decade or so you’ve been together. As far as I know, your success today couldn’t have happened without Jennifer Lopez’s help, could it?”
Arlo Percival originally ca from a family of fishern, with his ancestors being poor farrs for three generations.
Later, he started a breeding farm in Gonzalez City, a modest asset, but it was only a few hundred thousand.
More than a decade before Julius Reed married into the Radcliffe Family and beca news, the most explosive story in Gonzalez City was Arlo Percival marrying a wife as beautiful as an angel.
At that ti, no one knew that Jennifer Lopez was a mber of the renowned Lopez Family in the capital.
...
By the ti they found out, Arlo Percival had already abandoned the seafood breeding industry and beco a tycoon in the logistics industry of Gonzalez City.
All within a re five years.
He transford into a distinguished entrepreneur of Gonzalez City and subtly revealed Jennifer Lopez’s identity.
Only then did the people of Gonzalez City realize that Arlo Percival’s wife from those years was actually a mber of the Lopez Family from the capital!
It could be said that, without Jennifer Lopez’s support, Arlo Percival would still be a fish breeder today.
“I’d rather that viper of a woman had never co into my life! I’d rather have run a breeding farm in Gonzalez City, earning a few hundred thousand each year!”
Arlo Percival knelt on the ground, his fingernails digging deep into his flesh.
“Truly, I wish I could flay that venomous viper alive!”
As he spoke, his voice was full of hatred.
Even his body couldn’t help but shake a little.
“This is rather interesting,” Julius Reed said lightly, waving his hand. “Stand up and talk; it’s not good to be kneeling like this.”
After he finished speaking, Aron Jackson imdiately brought over a chair and placed it behind Arlo Percival.
“I can just kneel…”
“If you want to cooperate, then we are friends,” Julius Reed cut Arlo Percival off and motioned him to sit down. “I’ve always treated my friends fairly well.”
“Indeed!”
Aron Jackson forcibly lifted Arlo Percival and sat him down on the chair: “Our boss is never soft on enemies! But to friends, he’s absolutely loyal!”
“Thank you… thank you, Mr. Reed…”
Arlo Percival sat down sowhat stiffly, his hands awkwardly placed on his thighs.
“Speak up then, what’s the grudge between you and Jennifer Lopez?” Julius Reed looked at Arlo Percival, speaking indifferently. “Even if she cuckolded you, it doesn’t justify going to such extres, does it? At least she did let you live a good life and didn’t restrict your affairs with other won.”
“No restrictions?”
Arlo Percival laughed loudly, then stood up and slowly pulled down his pants. “That venomous woman, on our wedding night, she used a knife to make useless!”
“She was worried I would misbehave! Worried I might look for other won in the future, worried that what I have now wouldn’t go to Zane Percival!”
Upon seeing this scene, both Aron Jackson and Julius Reed felt a shiver go down their spines.
This woman…
She’s far too cruel!
“Not just that, she and her lover would et in secret at our house, and I could only wait outside the door!”
“And… and…”
As he spoke, Arlo Percival’s face contorted, his hands involuntarily clutching his chest.
“And one ti, out of spite, I got drunk and fell asleep at the door. My father, who was over fifty, happened to pass by, heard what was going on inside…”
He covered his face with his hands, crying out loud, “He heard the sounds of those adulterers inside, and in a fit of rage, he burst in! And then…”
“Then that lover, he actually killed my father on the spot! That wretched Jennifer Lopez demanded that I tell everyone my father died suddenly from a stroke…”
“I’ve only lived this long to see that pair of dogs get what they deserve!”
He threw himself to the ground with a ‘thud’, knocking his head violently on the floor.
“When I heard that bastard Zane Percival was killed by you, I was so excited I couldn’t sleep all night! Haha…” Arlo Percival laughed uproariously toward the sky, his face filled with hatred, “Mr. Reed, I can do anything for you, as long as that adulterous pair is sent to their graves!”
Hatred made him nearly insane.
“Boss, I’ve checked before,” Aron Jackson said from behind Arlo Percival to Julius Reed, “Arlo’s father did indeed die under mysterious circumstances. Furthermore, his body was hastily cremated, all within half a day.”
Since his arrival in Gonzalez City, Aron Jackson had been investigating the well-known local entrepreneurs.
And when Zane Percival offended Julius Reed, Aron didn’t just investigate Zane; he dug up three generations of the Percival Family’s history.
He believed Arlo’s words implicitly.
“Tell , what can you do?”
Julius Reed raised his hand, gesturing for Arlo to continue.
I thought it was a story about a marriage of convenience, but I never imagined Jennifer Lopez could be so ruthless!
Calling her a venomous-hearted woman would be an understatent.
“My logistics group actually serves Jennifer Lopez.” Arlo Percival sat back down, gently pulling a cigarette from his pocket, “Mr. Reed, may I smoke?”
The hand holding the cigarette trembled uncontrollably.
Julius Reed was certain this was a hatred etched into his bones!
Such acting could not be faked.
“Smoke if it makes you feel better.”
“Thank you.”
Arlo placed the cigarette in his mouth, his hands shaky as he fumbled for a lighter.
Crack!
Aron Jackson took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for him.
“Mr. Jackson, I…”
Arlo Percival was so excited he almost stood up.
Aron Jackson of Gonzalez City lighting his cigarette?
“The boss said, as long as you truly join us, from now on you’re a brother,” Aron pressed down on his shoulder and said indifferently, “And what’s a cigarette between brothers?”
“Thank you.”
Arlo swallowed hard and took a trembling drag on his cigarette.
“Hiss!”
His face turned pale, clearly exhausted from excessive emotion.
“My logistics company has been helping Jennifer Lopez smuggle for years. And the goods she smuggles are all of the Lopez Family’s assets,” he revealed as he gently exhaled a puff of smoke, “In other words, she has been lining her own pockets the whole ti, using the Lopez Family’s money to feather her nest!”
“An inside job is hard to prevent!”
Aron Jackson pursed his lips, equally shocked.
Everyone knew Jennifer Lopez’s power within the Lopez Family had been growing over the years, even to the extent of controlling the Family’s most profitable enterprises.
But who could have imagined.
That the initial rise of Jennifer Lopez was built on selling off the family’s assets.
“In recent years, Jennifer Lopez has imported a batch of drugs from abroad. I used to handle these matters, but she never let touch these drugs,” Arlo continued, putting the cigarette back in his mouth for a deep draw, “One ti… oh, that was right after Mr. Jackson dealt with the wretch…”
“She left the capital in a terrible state, and her goods could only be received by .”
“Out of curiosity, I quietly opened them, only to find they were all banned drugs! Their origin was marked as coming from a lab in California, drugs produced there.”
“After taking them, if one doesn’t consu the antidote at regular intervals, the person would be in unbearable pain.”
Arlo Percival flicked his cigarette butt to the ground, grinding it out gently, “And the ti before old Mr. Lopez needs to take his next dose is less than three days away!”
