If Julius Reed just left like this, Aron Jackson would definitely be suspicious.
That's the truth about the fearsomeness of public opinion.
To prove his innocence with Aaron Martin, he had to make Julius Reed stay.
"What, Mr. Cook, you plan to force me to stay? I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat, and I fear being frightened. If you really scare me to death, getting involved in a manslaughter trial wouldn't be good at all!" Julius Reed stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Bran Cook with a teasing grin.
For a man who dared to covet his wife, he had to be played with slowly, not killed off in one go.
"Brother Dragon is joking. Today, Cook would like to ask you to stay. As I said, acquiring the Radcliffe Group is a normal business operation, and my friendship with Brother Martin is just that—friendship. So I'm not afraid of you staying; even if you spread rumors, as long as I behave honorably, I have nothing to fear!"
