Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Karen Succeeds_1

“Karen, you’re still so despicable.”

In the hotel room, Terry Moore looked at Julius Reed tied up on the floor and spoke to Karen.

“What do you know? This is called intelligent strategy! Sometimes, brute force alone is useless.”

At the moment, Karen was sitting on the bed soaking her feet, and the room didn’t have that suffocating, desperate odor.

On the contrary, there was a faint fragrance.

“I’ll send a video to Manager Leocadia. Unexpectedly, our brothers have won a great victory, and it seems we can return tomorrow.”

Karen took out her phone and dialed Natalia Leocadia’s number.

At that moment, the Leocadia Family was in a heated discussion about the destruction at the exhibition.

“Big brother, after a preliminary investigation, we have figured out why the exhibition was smashed.”

Sophia Leocadia’s father, Daphne Leocadia, stood up, holding a thick stack of reports: “The son of the president of Oberon Enterprise and another American teenager made a bet at the exhibition with this man named Julius Reed. They lost. The terms of the bet included being beaten and kneeling on the ground.”

“Daphne, what are you trying to say?”

Natalia Leocadia leaned back in the executive chair and asked casually.

The brothers were at odds, and if Old Master Leocadia hadn’t suddenly been hospitalized, it might have been Daphne Leocadia sitting in that chair.

Although Natalia Leocadia now held all the power, he always saw Daphne Leocadia as a thorn in his side, a threat to his position.

He couldn’t wait to get rid of him quickly!

After all, he was the biggest threat.

“The cause of the incident was that Thompson and another young man named Jack Lau tried to harass Julius Reed’s wife. She is the beautiful woman in the surveillance video, and that triggered the betting conflict.”

Daphne Leocadia pressed the remote, and the big screen started playing the footage of the scene.

A woman was seen taking photos with her phone next to a showcase when two American teenagers tiptoed behind her and placed a bracelet that was already broken in her hand.

In the moment the woman turned around, the bracelet dropped to the ground.

“What does this prove?”

Natalia Leocadia asked, frowning.

Thompson was the son of the president of Oberon Enterprise, which he had only just learned.

Now that the issue had escalated, Oberon had already sent an email denouncing the Leocadia Family.

They demanded an explanation within a week.

“Daphne, what’s the point of saying this now?”

Natalia Leocadia said angrily: “They smashed our Leocadia Family’s exhibition, and the ones losing face are not just me, but you too! Aren’t you a member of the Leocadia Family?”

He couldn’t stand it when Daphne Leocadia acted so self-righteously.

Now that things had come to this, catching the trouble-making youngster was the most important thing; what was the point of saying all this?

“The spark that caused the smashing was Winona Leocadia humiliating Julius Reed’s wife after stepping in.”

Daphne Leocadia said coldly: “This is the Winona Leocadia that you raised! If it weren’t for his vile words, the Leocadia Family wouldn’t have faced this disaster!”

“Daphne Leocadia, shut your mouth!”

Bang!

Natalia Leocadia slammed the table and stood up from the executive chair: “Don’t think I don’t know about your daughter’s mess! I thought that as brothers, we would keep our family shame to ourselves. But you, now you’ve gone too far!”

His sudden outburst quieted the entire meeting room.

In the face of this fraternal quarrel, these outsiders had no way to interject.

“Natalia Leocadia, you can talk about me, but leave my daughter out of it!”

Daphne Leocadia similarly slammed the file in her hand down and pointed at Natalia Leocadia, “The situation the Leocadia Family finds itself in exists solely because of your incompetence!”

Since the two had long found each other disagreeable, they simply went straight into arguing.

“Heh heh! In Five-river Province, on the day of your daughter’s birthday, this guy threw around ten billion and even beat up Fernando Lee, smashing his limited-edition sports car to pieces! Didn’t that happen?”

Natalia Leocadia sneered at Daphne Leocadia, “On Chinese New Year’s Eve, your daughter ran off to Five-river Province alone and stayed at that man’s house, not returning for the whole night! Such shamelessness, truly a disgrace to our Leocadia Family!”

“Say that again!”

Daphne Leocadia stood up, ready to charge over, but was firmly held back by the person next to her.

“I’m telling you, you can insult me, but if you insult my daughter, I’ll never let you off the hook!”

He glared furiously at Natalia Leocadia, his eyes almost spewing fire.

“What? Angry because I hit the mark?”

Natalia Leocadia showed no intent to back down, instead escalating the situation, “Could it be that Sophia Leocadia willingly became someone’s mistress? I now suspect that you orchestrated this whole affair!”

“You slanderous wretch! Natalia Leocadia, you’re inhuman and entirely unworthy of your position!”

Daphne Leocadia clenched her teeth, wishing she could rush up and beat him.

“Heh heh, what’s wrong? Guilty conscience?”

Natalia Leocadia stood with his hands clasped behind him, feeling very pleased by his brother’s anger.

“I know you’re dissatisfied with me inheriting the family business as your older brother, but it’s the trend of the times! By the way, I’ve already found a suitable match for Sophia. We might as well find someone to take her off our hands to stop her from further embarrassing our Leocadia Family.”

As long as they could force Sophia Leocadia out, Daphne Leocadia’s influence would immediately be halved.

After all, most were hesitant, wondering what the situation would be like if Old Master Leocadia woke up.

In fact, should Old Master Leocadia recover, Sophia Leocadia was the most likely candidate to rise in power.

This was exactly why Natalia Leocadia was scheming to oust her.

“Right, is there any connection to this matter?”

“It’s unclear, but someone so close to Sophia Leocadia certainly can’t be free from suspicion.”

“If that’s the case, then it’s truly an unfortunate scandal for our family.”

Everyone knew of the discord between the two siblings, and now, after what Natalia Leocadia said, everyone’s gaze towards Daphne Leocadia changed.

In the family, interests are of utmost importance.

If this incident was indeed Daphne Leocadia’s doing, then it undoubtedly harmed the family’s interests.

Surely, no one would continue supporting him; they would instead turn towards Natalia Leocadia.

“Right and wrong, let everyone discern for themselves! Natalia Leocadia, your obstinate arrogance will ruin the Leocadia Family!”

Daphne Leocadia slowly sat down, trying to calm himself.

This was, after all, a family meeting, and not only Leocadia Family members were present, but also executives from the internal businesses of the group.

Continuing the argument would only undermine the dignity of the Leocadia Family.

“I warn you, according to what Sophia said, this man not only is skilled in combat but even Beckett Carmichael defers to him. I advise you to be careful with your words and actions, lest you end up dragging the Leocadia Family down!”

Daphne Leocadia said with composure.

Sophia had not mentioned Julius Reed killing a boat’s worth of people, merely that she had witnessed his formidable skills.

But a father knows his daughter best, and Daphne Leocadia had already guessed something.

At that moment, Natalia Leocadia’s phone began to ring.

“Yo! Looks like we’ve succeeded with Karen.”

He boasted as he connected his phone to the big screen, establishing a video call with Karen.
