Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

After listening to Thayer Taylor’s words, Stanislaus Potter’s face shifted unpredictably. He wondered, were Thayer Taylor’s words true or false? If they were false, and the previous conversation hadn’t reached his ears, then how did Thayer Taylor know that Richard was his illegitimate son?

Even the Seven Guardians were unaware of this matter, let alone him. But if it were true, why would Richard do such a thing?

However, now that Richard was kneeling at his feet begging for mercy and attempting to kill to silence the witness, it seemed to confirm Thayer Taylor’s words.

“Whether you have anything to do with this matter, I will judge myself! If it truly has nothing to do with you, I will ensure that your current interests will not be harmed. But if it is related to you…”

At this point, Stanislaus Potter did not continue.

No matter what, this was his own bloodline, even if it was an illegitimate son.

If it really was Richard who had instigated this from behind, how to deal with it truly troubled Stanislaus Potter.

“I…”

Richard only then realized how panicked he had been, almost exposing his crime.

“Dad, I really had no part in this matter! But I did hear some rumors, and because I wasn’t sure if they were true or not, I didn’t dare to report them to you, fearing that I would be accused of sowing discord!”

Richard’s eyes flickered as he quickly thought of an excuse. Although this might earn him a scolding, it was still better than being charged with murder.

Upon hearing this, Stanislaus Potter also began to waver.

After all, it was his own bloodline; he pondered again.

“Mr. Potter, this doesn’t seem to match your decisive and swift style of doing things!”

Julius Reed smiled, took out a photo from his pocket, and flicked it lightly!

Stanislaus Potter reached out to catch it and held the photo in his hands.

This was a long-distance candid shot. In the photo, Brayden Leopold, Richard, and Thayer Taylor were seen enjoying their drinks and conversation with smiles on their faces.

If they were not familiar with each other, why would they be laughing so heartily?

Slam!

Stanislaus Potter furiously threw the photo onto Richard’s face, quivering with anger, “You beast, you even dared to deceive me!”

Although on the surface the two had always referred to each other as uncle and nephew, from the moment Stanislaus Potter recognized him, he had treated Richard as his own son.

Whether it was money or connections, he had taken care of everything to ensure that Richard had a smooth sailing in Five-river Province.

But now, his own trusted relative had betrayed him!

“This…”

The moment Richard saw the photo, his body softened, and he leaned directly on the dining table.

With such incontrovertible evidence, he couldn’t possibly argue his way out.

“Who are you! Why are you doing this to me!”

His angry gaze turned to Julius Reed; his eyes filled with unwillingness and despair!

Richard could not understand why everyone so greatly respected this son-in-law, who had just entered the family, and how the man had been able to understand him so thoroughly from the start!

That photo was taken half a month ago, at the exact meeting where the three conspired to murder Quamaine Potter and thereby enable Richard to inherit the Potter Family’s rights.

That meeting was extremely secretive, nearly no one else was aware of it, and the venue was Richard’s own private winery!

How could this be possible!

“Why am I doing this to you? Sorry, but I simply couldn’t let live someone who covets my woman,” replied Julius Reed with a light smile, and gestured to Stanislaus Potter, “Mr. Potter, are you reluctant to take action?”

“It’s not that, it’s just…”

A bitter taste filled Stanislaus Potter’s heart. No matter how one put it, Richard was his own flesh and blood. Even if he had erred, even if he wanted to kill Quamaine Potter, that was, after all, his son!

A tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, much less a human being.

“Come here!”

Julius Reed continued to beckon.

“Yes!”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Stanislaus Potter moved quickly toward him.

“Actually, he is not your son, it’s just that…”

Before Julius Reed could finish, Stanislaus Potter glared and muttered softly, “I have had a paternity test done, and at three different places no less!”

As the chairman of Golden Eagle Group, how could Stanislaus Potter not be meticulous in such matters? When Richard appeared, Stanislaus had already secretly commissioned paternity tests from three different institutions.

The test results had always been true.

If one could be wrong, how could all three be falsified?

“Exactly! Three tests definitely wouldn’t be wrong. But!”

At this, Julius Reed pulled out three pieces of paper from his pocket again and handed them to Stanislaus Potter, “The same person got these three reports for you! What you’re holding in your hands now is the real paternity report!”

At the sight of the three pieces of paper, Stanislaus Potter’s face turned ashen.

He never dreamed that, shrewd as he was, he could be played for such a fool in this matter.

The person who collected the reports was Thayer Taylor!

“Father, I…”

Slap!

As Richard realized something was amiss and just as he was about to ask, Stanislaus Potter backhanded him with a slap!

“Who told you to call me that?”

Stanislaus Potter’s face was as still as dead water, and he couldn’t help but tremble.

A disgrace!

Such a disgrace!

To be played like a puppet in someone’s hands for so many years after living half a lifetime!

“I…”

Whoosh!

Before Richard could speak, Stanislaus Potter kicked him and at the same time looked toward Austin Yarrow, “Take him away, lock him in the dungeon at the villa! If he escapes, I will have your life!”

“Don’t worry, boss! I, Austin Yarrow, might not have many skills, but keeping an eye on him is a piece of cake!”

Austin Yarrow patted his chest, picked up Richard from the ground like he was picking up a chicken, and dragged him outside the hotel.

Zalman Michael was completely dumbfounded.

She had believed without a doubt that Richard was Stanislaus Potter’s illegitimate son, especially since Stanislaus himself had acknowledged it, and Richard had already called him “Dad.”

So what was this act now?

“Thank you so much, Mr. Reed!”

After taking a deep breath, Stanislaus Potter managed to squeeze out a faint smile.

He knew that Julius Reed had left him with enough face. If today’s events were exposed, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to him.

By then, his business rivals would undoubtedly seize the opportunity to kick him when he was down and push Golden Eagle Group to a dead end.

“Don’t mention it, you still owe me a favor that you haven’t quite repaid yet!”

Julius Reed laughed heartily, stood up from his chair, “I have some things to attend to, so I won’t be joining you any longer! Oh, and take good care of my wife for me.”

“Rest assured!”

Stanislaus Potter wiped the sweat from his forehead and hastily assured, patting his chest, “As long as people still listen to Stanislaus Potter, your sister-in-law will definitely not receive any differential treatment!”

Although he was much younger than Julius Reed, he nonetheless referred to Quella Radcliffe as sister-in-law.

“And this woman, she’s a bit annoying! Chirping all the time, it’s displeasing!”

Julius Reed indicated towards Zalman Michael.

“Get out! Get out at once! Don’t be an eyesore here!”

Miguel Abbott was smart and immediately pulled Zalman Michael up from her seat.

“But, Mr. Abbott, I was invited by the Willson Group, I can’t just…”

Slap!

Miguel Abbott slapped her, “Even if it was the Jade Emperor who invited you today, you would still have to get out!”
