“Yes, of course there is!”

Although Radley Ridge felt the pinch, he knew today was a good opportunity.

As long as he got Julius Reed drunk, their conflicts would be thoroughly intensified.

Because alcohol makes people violent, it forces them to spill all the words they’ve been holding back.

Julius Reed had endured a lot at the Radcliffe Family over the past three years, and judging by today’s events, it seemed he was about to explode. “Waiter, bring another… three bottles!”

Radley Ridge hardened his heart, thinking no pain, no gain!

“This isn’t just talk. Three years! All I’ve had since marrying you is hardship and toil! Other women are out shopping and buying purses every day, and me?

I have to carry the weight of this household on my shoulders!”

As Quella Radcliffe said this, she couldn’t help but cry out in grievance. Julius Reed’s heart tightened. Her acting skills, how had they become so masterful!

“To tell you the truth, I’ve wanted a divorce for a long time! What can you even provide me? If you had even a thousandth of what Radley Ridge has, I wouldn’t be this upset! He earns a million a year, driving a Mercedes!”

Quella Radcliffe took the tissue Radley Ridge handed her, wiping her tears as she lamented, “And you! Riding in a taxi is all we can manage together! Have you taken me to the movies once in the three years we’ve been married? Have you ever gone shopping with me? You bastard! You’re inhuman!”

Having said so, Quella Radcliffe pounded fiercely a few times against Julius Reed’s chest.

The more Julius Reed listened, the more he felt something was off—Quella Radcliffe had her own motives, seizing the opportunity to berate him!

“Wait until we get back, I’ll show you!”

Although he thought this, he yelled, “Get lost! I’ve been sick of the sight of you for a long time! Three years of marriage, and you won’t even let me touch you! I’m so done with this marriage in name only! Who do you think you are? Even the women under the bridge who charge thirty bucks are better than you! If I had the money, I’d rather live under that bridge!”

Julius Reed pretended to be drunk, his speech slurred.

Seeing the escalating argument, Burl Radcliffe was about to stand up when Knox Ridge stopped him.

“Let them fight it out. Once they’re done, Radley will be our son-in-law!”

After hearing his wife’s explanation, Burl Radcliffe suddenly understood.

The parents of Radley Ridge also hid their smiles behind pursed lips, pleased to witness the turmoil.

The happiest among them was Radley Ridge himself—everything he had heard about them was true.

The marriage between Quella Radcliffe and Julius Reed existed in name only; though married for three years, she remained a virgin.

“Brother Reed, you’re too drunk! How can you say such things! Quella Radcliffe is the most outstanding woman in the world. The line of guys chasing after her was endless! If you don’t cherish her, I might just step in!”

Although Radley Ridge said this while persuading him to drink, he pushed three bottles of Petrus toward Julius Reed. And the words he spoke were truly from his heart.

“You like her? Then marry her!”

Julius Reed was unapologetic as he lifted a bottle of Petrus and finished it in one go.

After three bottles of red wine, his face reddened as well.

Yet two more bottles remained on the table.

“I’ve known all along she has you in her heart! She’s called out your name more than once in her sleep! Now, tell me, what kind of a pathetic husband does that make me?”

Julius Reed pounded his chest, his face etched with endless pain.

“So what if I called his name! He is an overseas returnee, earning a million a year! What do you have? I’ll tell you the truth: from the beginning, I used you as a shield, waiting all along for Radley Ridge to come back!”

The more Quella Radcliffe shouted, the angrier she got. This time, she was truly furious.

She never talked in her sleep; that bastard dared to accuse her of calling out someone else’s name.

“You bastard!”

Quella Radcliffe fiercely twisted Julius Reed’s arm.

The force of her twist was so strong that it was distressing for Radley Ridge to watch.

Yet inside, he was extremely excited!

Quella Radcliffe had called his name in her sleep—not just once!

Radley Ridge took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself.

Happiness came too suddenly!

“Brother Reed, drink up!”

He felt that the four-hundred -thousand- dollar wine was worth every penny!

Not only did it fuel their dispute, but it also paved the way for his own fortune.

At this moment, Radley Ridge was already fantasizing about the scene of winning the beauty’s heart.

Furthermore, he had even called for Flower Snake, preparing to stage a hero-saving-the-beauty act shortly to make Julius Reed look even more pathetic, showcasing his own abilities.

“Brother Reed, you’re a good man!”

Julius Reed picked up the red wine and guzzled it down.

“These past three years, I’ve lived worse than a dog! To hell with being the unwanted son-in-law! Starting tomorrow, I want to be free!” Julius Reed’s eyes were blurry, and he seemed to be somewhat drunk.

“If it’s hard, drink some more!”

Radley Ridge looked at Quella Radcliffe, saying joyfully, “I didn’t expect that after so many years, you would still have me in your heart.”

A few years ago, before he went abroad to study, he had pursued Quella Radcliffe.

But he had been gently rejected.

This time, when he returned to the country, he had not held much hope, yet who could have known, that today he would have an unexpected joy!

Knox Ridge was even more smug.

“Mr. Radcliffe, if you hadn’t let Julius Reed come, could this have gone so smoothly? This bastard is really asking for it. I was still worried Quella Radcliffe might have a soft spot for him, but with today’s commotion, it has completely exposed his worthless nature! ”

“Wife, you’re really brilliant!”

Burl Radcliffe raised his thumb, full of admiration in his eyes.

If they could have a son-in-law like Radley Ridge, they would wake up laughing from their dreams.

However, what the couple didn’t know was that compared to Julius Reed, Radley Ridge was like a speck of dust in the universe. “Brother, is there any more wine?”

Julius Reed shouted after drinking the last bottle of wine.

“You’re this drunk! Go home right now! Don’t embarrass yourself here! The two things I hate most in my life are worthless men and drunks! And you happen to be the worst of both!”

Quella Radcliffe yelled.

Now she understood that her husband was planning on swindling Radley Ridge out of a fortune.

She wanted to laugh but could only hold it in while she had to display anger on her face.

“No problem! If Brother Reed wants to drink, I, Yannick Ridge, will take care of

Radley Ridge steeled his heart and shouted to the waiter, “Bring me three more bottles!”

“Radley, that’s eighty thousand a bottle,”

Mother Ridge reminded softly from the side.

Eight bottles were six hundred and forty thousand, no small sum.

Even with an annual salary of a million, this meal would consume half a year’s wages.

“No problem! Money, to me, is just a number!”

Radley Ridge interrupted his mother, telling the waiter, “Bring them immediately! ”

It pained him as well, but if it could escalate the conflict between the two to the point of divorce, it was absolutely worth it!

Radley Ridge was now in painful joy!

“Look at Radley Ridge over there, spending hundreds of thousands as if they were nothing! Why should I have to suffer with you?”

Quella Radcliffe continued to praise from the side, making Radley Ridge’s hormones surge.

“Excuse me, I need to use the restroom!”

Just then, Radley Ridge’s phone vibrated; Flower Snake had arrived.

“You guys keep eating, I’ll be right back!”

After saying that, he headed towards the restroom.

Before leaving, Radley Ridge gave Julius Reed a look.

You drank my hundreds of thousands, now wait for your suffering!

When Flower Snake makes a move, nothing good happens!

Radley Ridge had barely left when Flower Snake entered from behind.

He was carrying a glass of red wine, pretending to walk casually past Julius Reed.

As he walked over Julius Reed’s head, Flower Snake tilted the glass slightly..
