Elize Yarrow shamelessly admitted, and Brayden Leopold acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing, instead allowing Joel Martin, who had exposed her, to carry the stigma of insulting the Leopold Family.

“Sir, your dishes!”

Just then, a Pearl on the Water waiter came to the table with the dishes in hand.

Seeing the somewhat chaotic scene, he tentatively asked, “Should I serve them now, or…”

“Put them down, everyone’s hungry, it’s just in time to fill our stomachs!”

Julius Reed waved his hand, and the waiter obediently placed all the dishes on the table.

Then, one by one, the remaining dishes were also presented.

The culinary skills at Pearl on the Water were first-rate; at least the smell of the food made one’s appetite surge.

But at this juncture, who was in the mood to eat?

Heather Gonzalez and Anna Harris were locals and naturally knew of the Leopold Family’s power, feeling fear in their hearts as well.

The only person at the scene who showed no sign of fear, though, was the person involved, Julius Reed.

Teasing Elize Yarrow, he didn’t seem the slightest bit afraid in the face of the Leopold family members. Was this an act, or did he really have the confidence?

Strangely, from the moment Brayden Leopold walked into the restaurant, it was as if he couldn’t see Julius Reed at all, the two sharing an unspoken understanding.

“Young Master Leopold, she has admitted it!”

Joel Martin, who had been beaten, was still not content and repeated his previous words.

He felt that the Leopold Family would not disregard their reputation so easily, at least taking care of Elize Yarrow was possible. Moreover, if Julius Reed was truly as Anna Harris had said, he was nothing more than a son-in-law joining a family.

For the Leopold Family, to kill him was simpler than stepping on an ant.

“Your issue, I’ll settle with you later!”

Brayden Leopold didn’t bother with Joel Martin anymore, instead turning to face Mr. Donkey and the others: “Speak, who put you up to this!”

“No one put us up to it, we guys just couldn’t recognize Mount Tai, please be lenient, Young Master Leopold! If we had known she was your sister-in-law, we’d never dare to do such a thing!”

Mr. Donkey was, after all, Theon Falls’ subordinate, and if he betrayed his own boss, not to mention the likelihood of being hunted down, even if Theon Falls let him go, how could he continue to mix in the underworld?

“It looks like you’re not ready to tell the truth.”

Brayden Leopold shook his head and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, slowly tearing it open: “Pry open their mouths.”

As if remembering something, he instructed again, “This is Boss Abbott’s turf, clean this up outside, don’t cause trouble for Chairman Abbott.”

“Understood!”

The men in black nodded, grabbed Mr. Donkey and the others by the neck, and dragged them out of Pearl on the Water like dead dogs.

Meanwhile, Joel Martin sitting inside the room was shivering, calculating how he could extricate himself from this situation.

The worst outcome would be to call his uncle, asking Stanislaus Potter for help in getting out of this mess.

However, that would inevitably mean losing all his dignity in front of Anna Harris and the others.

“Joel Martin? Stanislaus Potter’s nephew?”

Brayden Leopold sized up Joel Martin, his eyes revealing a chilling coldness.

Previously, Fernando Leopold’s capture had escalated the feud between the Leopold and Potter Families to an extreme. Later, during the rescue operation, the Leopold Family suffered losses; many bodyguards perished under the Golden Eagle Building, adding a blood debt to the existing grudge.

Now, facing the nephew of Stanislaus Potter who had humiliated his nominal “sister-in-law,” Brayden Leopold saw an opportunity to unite people’s hearts.

“Yes! My uncle is Stanislaus Potter, today’s incident was purely an accident, and I had no intention of offending Young Master Leopold.”

Joel Martin was somewhat emboldened, after all, as Stanislaus Potter’s nephew, he still had some clout in Five-river Province.

However, to his surprise, upon hearing these words, Brayden Leopold went over, grabbed Joel Martin’s head, and slammed it hard onto the dining table!

Bang!

In an instant, Joel Martin’s head was covered in blood.

“Ah…”

Isandro Jackson, standing nearby, was so scared that her face turned pale, and she couldn’t help but let out a scream.

“So annoying!”

Brayden Leopold said impatiently, and immediately his bodyguard came over and covered Isandro’s mouth.

“Brother, always leave room for maneuver.”

Just then, another man at the dinner table finally spoke up.

“And who are you!”

Brayden Leopold looked at the stranger and frowned again.

“Ganny Province, Benson Michael. If you don’t know me, perhaps you have heard of my father, Harris Michael,”

the man said calmly.

Just from his appearance, it was clear that he was no ordinary man.

“Harris Michael?”

That name was very familiar to Brayden Leopold. Ganny Province bordered Five-river Province, and Harris Michael was the chairman of Arctic Fox Tech Company, a leading enterprise in Ganny Province.

Arctic Fox had made its beginnings in social software and seized the opportunities in the information era, propelling the Michael Family to become one of the top enterprises in the country.

Even Anna Harris and Joel Martin found it unbelievable when they heard that name.

They had known Benson for a long time, but only knew he was another rich second-generation kid; no one had speculated about his family background.

Now that they knew his true identity, Joel felt extremely complicated inside.

He was just the nephew of the chairman of Golden Eagle Group, and his status was far from Benson’s. Remembering how he bragged in front of Benson, he felt a burning shame on his face!

At the same time, Joel felt a flicker of joy. With Benson stepping in, Brayden would have to show some respect.

“Joel is my friend. You’ve hit him, and you’ve scolded him. Isn’t it time to stop?”

At this moment, Benson showed his edge, contrasting sharply with the unremarkable young man he appeared to be before.

“Don’t overdo it.”

These words weighed heavily.

“So it’s Brother Michael. Since you’ve come to Five-river Province, why didn’t you tell me, so I could extend the courtesy of a host!”

Brayden’s eyes shifted as he quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Offending someone at this juncture would be unwise. The Leopold Family was still in turmoil, and the current need was to unite all possible forces, not create enemies.

Moreover, there were some business dealings between the Leopold and Michael Families that shouldn’t be jeopardized.

“No need for host’s courtesy,”

Benson shook his head and pointed to Joel, “Let’s just let this go, shall we?”

The room fell silent for a moment.

Brayden was weighing the benefits of either continuing to deal with Joel or choosing to stop.

Dealing with Joel was Julius Reed’s intention, and although they didn’t associate openly, they had already come to an agreement in private.

Considering the risk of offending the Michael Family, Brayden was already preparing to compromise.

But just then, Julius Reed came over with a bowl of Golden Soup and placed it in front of Benson, “So Brother Michael turns out to be a wealthy landowner! My apologies for any disrespect! This Golden Soup is exquisite; would you like to try some?”

He wore a sycophantic expression, which made Anna sneer in disgust and caused Joel and Benson to sneer inwardly.

Such a bully when it comes to the soft and a coward when it comes to the tough!

“Not interested!”

Benson refused directly, despising such people the most!

The ones without a stance of their own!

“This soup I personally brought over, no one dares not to drink it.”

Julius chuckled lightly and poured the soup over Benson’s head, “You’re no exception.”
