Chapter 272: Chapter 271 He is My Sister-in-Law_1

Andersen once wrote “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”

But.

Now this very scene was actually unfolding right in front of everyone.

Isandro Jackson and Elize Yarrow were fighting below while the security guards, after making a round, simply walked away as if nothing had happened.

They completely ignored them.

Even Isandro Jackson on the ground forgot the pain of being beaten as he watched his hope turn to despair.

Joel Martin did want to call the police but what should he do if he startled the Leopold Family?

His return to Five-river Province this time was because he’d heard that Quamaine Potter had run into some trouble—he wanted to use this opportunity to establish a foothold in Five-river Province.

Or rather, to gain the recognition of Stanislaus Potter and make a name for himself within the Golden Eagle Group.

But not calling the police would truly leave him without dignity.

“Alright, stop tiring yourself out!”

In the end, it was Julius Reed’s phrase that made Elize Yarrow reluctantly get off of Isandro Jackson, spitting a mouthful of saliva on his face while doing so, “You little stinker, we’ll see if you still dare to act all high and mighty with me after this!”

Isandro Jackson’s face was covered in scratches; it was as if his face had been ruined.

He cried as he threw himself into Joel Martin’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably, “Calvin, avenge me!”

Another man nearby also spoke up, “This is a bit too much.”

Even though he didn’t talk much on normal days, today Julius Reed’s actions were indeed somewhat humiliating.

“Bang!”

Joel Martin’s fist slammed down on the table, pointing at Julius Reed, “Apologize immediately, or I’ll tell the Leopold Family about your dirty laundry! You should know what that will mean!”

If he didn’t show some spine at this moment, he might dampen everyone’s spirit and also plummet in Anna Harris’s eyes.

But did he really dare to tell the Leopold Family about this matter?

Clearly, he did not.

“Members of the Leopold Family will be here soon, go tattle then!”

Julius Reed pointed behind him, a mischievous smile spread across his face.

“Stop beating around the bush here with me! If you don’t come over and apologize soon, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Joel Martin spoke fiercely, at the same time calculating when Theon Falls’ people might arrive.

Just then, a group of people hurried in.

Hearing the footsteps, Joel Martin’s face showed a hint of a smile,

Mr. Donkey had arrived with his men.

All he needed to do was to pretend not to recognize them and just enjoy the show.

“You’ll get your comeuppance for this!”

Joel Martin looked at Julius Reed, gently consoling Isandro Jackson.

“I’ve never believed in comeuppance; if it really existed, would you be alive today?”

Julius Reed retorted sharply.

“Julius Reed, you better apologize right now!”

Anna Harris finally spoke up. Although she was disgusted with Julius Reed, if this matter really got taken to the Leopold Family by Joel Martin, Quella Radcliffe would certainly be implicated.

Even the entire Radcliffe Family would be held accountable.

Being very aware as a local, Anna Harris understood the centuries-old status of the Leopold Family.

Julius Reed glanced at her, but said nothing.

“Hey! This chick’s not bad!”

A burly man with his employees swaggered in, stepping back several times as he walked past Julius Reed, taking a good look at Elize Yarrow.

“No kidding! Would an ugly one be near me?”

Julius Reed didn’t get angry but chuckled as he looked at the robust man.

This surprised Mr. Donkey.

His woman was being harassed, and he was not even angry?

Could he even be considered a man?

But he quickly composed himself, walking straight up to Elize Yarrow, “How about a few drinks with me, darling?”

Angering Julius Reed was too easy!

“Hurry up, it’s rare for someone to show interest in you, go keep them company!”

Julius Reed’s words once again made Mr. Donkey’s jaw drop. Is this still a man?

But what he didn’t know was that Julius Reed had no relationship with Elize Yarrow whatsoever.

Anna Harris, Joel Martin, and others at the table were also surprised.

Anna Harris was surprised that Julius Reed, true to his reputation as a scumbag, was quick to push Elize Yarrow out.

Joel Martin was surprised that Mr. Donkey was actually flirting with Atlas Leopold’s wife.

“Ahem! I mean, it’s daylight out here, harassing a decent woman is not a good look!”

He tried to use his words to signal to Mr. Donkey that this was a woman not to be messed with.

But Mr. Donkey misunderstood his point, thinking Joel Martin wanted to play the hero to impress the woman he liked.

He slammed the table emphatically and pointed at Joel Martin, “I advise you to mind your own business! No one can mess with the woman I’ve set my sights on!”

“Impressive! A real man!”

Julius Reed sat in his chair, clapping non-stop while giving a thumbs-up: “If you can take her away, I’ll acknowledge you as a real man!”

“Ha! Playing tricks on me, huh? You think I don’t dare?”

Mr. Donkey frowned slightly, thinking Julius Reed was just pretending to not care about Elize Yarrow, to deceive them.

Before arriving, Theon Falls had already passed on the message to the security team at Pearl on the Water, so the guards had quietly retreated when Mr. Donkey entered.

But if they had known that the person Mr. Donkey was going to provoke was Julius Reed, they probably would have thrown him out long ago.

“Yo! Finally you’ve arrived, if you were any later, your future sister-in-law would have been kidnapped!”

Julius Reed looked toward the entrance and suddenly spoke.

“Stop pretending! If she doesn’t have a drink with me today, none of you are leaving!”

Mr. Donkey put one foot on the table, exuding an aura of dominance instantly.

“You’re going to touch her?”

Just then, a young man with a cigarette in his mouth walked over slowly.

One hand in the pocket of his suit pants, the other holding a cigarette, he asked coolly, “Really?”

“Who are you? Don’t meddle in this! Get lost, or I’ll take care of you too!”

Mr. Donkey rebuked with a stern face.

He was just following Theon Falls’s order to deal with the man who troubled Joel Martin. He didn’t want any extra trouble at Pearl on the Water.

“I’m just asking you, is it, or is it not?”

The young man took a deep drag of his cigarette, staring straight at Mr. Donkey.

“How are you talking to my big brother!”

Just then, an employee stepped forward, saying fiercely, “Do you know who our big brother is?”

“Does it matter who he is to me?”

The young man lifted his head, looking coldly at the employee, “Are you even qualified to speak to me?”

“Oh man! You won’t cry until you see the coffin, will you?”

The employee laughed out loud, then with a menacing look said, “Let’s go outside and see who’s stronger!”

This was Pearl on the Water, they didn’t want to make a big scene.

Bang!

The young man kicked out for no reason, sending the employee tumbling to the ground.

“You dare touch my people!”

Seeing this, Mr. Donkey walked over from Elize Yarrow’s side and pointed at the young man, “I will make you regret this.”

“Do you know who she is?”

The young man pointed at Elize Yarrow, saying coldly, “Her name is Elize Yarrow, Atlas Leopold’s fiancee. Now, do you know who I am?”

“What!”

Upon hearing the name Atlas Leopold, Mr. Donkey’s face turned pale with shock!

He was someone from the Leopold Family!

Before he could recover from the shock, the young man flicked his cigarette butt onto the ground, “I’m Brayden Leopold, you should call her sister-in-law.”
