“No! No! Of course not!” Lou shook his head vehemently. Not only Shangrila Group, but every other entity or business that was related to Kaze including Darcy’s companies must be protected. Otherwise, if anything went wrong, he and his son would be the primary suspects. Everyone was shocked by the unusual attitude Lou and Noah showed. Baffled, Adam asked, “Lou, what does Kaze have to do with Shangrila?” “Mr. Lee is the chairman of Shangrila,” Lou said after a careful glance at Kaze. What?! Kaze was the chairman of Shangrila Group? Adam’s expression froze. Kaze could have become the CEO of Hudson Investment Firm through nepotism, but was he also the chairman of Shangrila Group? Adam felt embarrassed for what he said to Kaze earlier. Tao was also stunned on the spot. He tried his best not to break down in tears. It seemed like whatever companies he wanted to work with belonged to Kaze. “Kaze, since when are you the chairman of Shangrila? What about Jesse Whit
Agnes could not stop praising Kaze from the moment she found out that he was the chairman of Shangrila Group. “New mayor? Stop dreaming. I heard from Nelson that the new mayor might also be a young man and he might be a chief commander, or even a regional commander. It’s not something Kaze can become,” Agatha said, trying to diminish her sister’s confidence. “Hmph. We’ll see about that,” Agnes said with an annoyed grunt. “Mayor Lee, the city council is holding a city-wide press conference to commemorate distinctive media outlets, do you have the time to attend?” Caleb asked Kaze. It was one of the bigger events in recent days, so he had to ask Kaze for instructions. Usually, trivial matters did not need to go through Kaze. “I’ll check my schedule. If I have the time, I’ll attend. What else?” Kaze said. “There’s also the matter about your new secretary.” Caleb explained, “What requirements do you have for a secretary? We dared not decide on our own.” Johnson’s secretary
At that very moment, Sherry decided to fight for the position. However, she knew it was made possible by Moses. Even though she wanted the position, she could not voice it.She maintained her coquettish voice and said, “Daddy, you want me to do it again? That’s the mayor, not the men I used to sleep with. Are you really going to send me away just like that?” Even though Sherry was Moses’ sugar baby, Moses would send her to entertain other men for his own benefit and it was not the first time. “Sherry, I’m doing this for your own good and I want you to have a bright future. I will use all my resources to get a chance for you to show yourself in front of the mayor. You have to come up with something to capture the mayor’s attention. “If you have any ideas at all, just talk to me,” said Moses. Both of them were hypocrites, sleeping with each other for their sexual and selfish gains. Moses knew Sherry was a greedy and ambitious woman and his TV station could not cage her for
A wealthy family must be resourceful; it was not just about the money. Having only money without corresponding foundations and resources would be dangerous as others could devour the family with ease. Alex suggested this because he wanted the Otter family to take Agnes and Darcy’s family seriously. After all, Kaze and Darcy were barely thirty years old, yet they had achieved so much. They would certainly have a bright future. “Because of Kaze, Darcy’s family is being pressured by the Lee family, but if they can overcome this, no one can stop them in the future. “Giving them a helping hand at their worst is always better than congratulating them when they succeed. We can start preparing, and once Darcy and her family rise to power, the Otter family will benefit from it,” Alex said. He was not biased toward Darcy and her family; he was simply considering the best path for the Otters. Caster leaned back on his chair with his eyes closed as he listened and pondered his son’s
“Yeah, I did it yesterday.” Kaze nodded. Had Darcy not mentioned, he would have forgotten all about it. Agnes smiled brightly and said, “Kaze, you are going to be on TV? Why didn’t you tell me? “Sky, turn on the TV! Kaze is on TV!” Agnes nudged Sky, who was eating, to turn on the TV. The interview segment during the financial primetime always had a high viewership rating. Following the familiar introduction of the segment, Sherry the news anchor appeared on the screen. “Good evening. Today’s interview guest is a young yet successful man. A person who has achieved many great things in different fields.” As a professional news anchor, Sherry was good at her job. She spoke fluently and started the segment in a clear and captivating manner. She continued, “We would like to welcome a young entrepreneur in Lilyrose. He hasn’t hit thirty yet he is already the CEO of a billion-dollar investment firm. “Please welcome the new CEO of Hudson Investment Firm, Kaze Lee!” Follow
The interview became a question-and-answer segment. Everyone in Horizon Mirror was shocked and speechless as the interview progressed. “This is the end of our interview. I believe it’s clear what kind of person Kaze Lee is. He is a disgusting and filthy liar. “We also have a witness here with us who can verify everything Kaze Lee said, so the audience doesn’t question the authenticity of the interview. Please, Mr. Zenny Soup, what do you have to say about Kaze Lee?” Sherry spoke righteously in front of the camera as she cued Zenny. The scene switched to Zenny immediately, showing his miserable and injured state. “Shangrila Group was originally James and Winnie’s company. Winnie is also my wife, yet Kaze Lee had an affair with her to get the company and ruined our marriage. “Winnie is trying to divorce me and take everything I have. I went to reason with them but Kaze Lee beat me up. This is unfair! Kaze Lee is a monster! A cancer to society!” Zenny pretended to be the v
Agnes was still skeptical. “Darcy, you trust him? What if it’s real? We saw him and Winnie together at the city council lounge yesterday and he was holding her. They looked intimate.” Now that she recalled what happened, Agnes realized what was going on. She strongly believed Kaze was having an affair with Winnie and she felt bad for her daughter. “Mom, Winnie was drunk. Kaze was just being nice.” Darcy trusted Kaze without a doubt. “And, I believe Kaze because that news anchor, Sherry Zauer, got into a huge argument with us at Nobel Hotel two days ago.” A hint of disgust appeared on Darcy’s face. She said, “Given her character, it’s not surprising that he would try to get back at us in such a filthy way.” Darcy was disgusted by Sherry’s attitude and personality, therefore she believed Kaze from the very start. Despite her clarity about the incident, she was still worried. “But now we have a big problem at hand. The TV station is influential, especially the financial ne
Darcy warned Kaze not to drop his guard. “Dad is right, Kaze. Don’t underestimate Sherry.“She has the looks and finesse to get men to help her when it comes down to it.” Darcy was worried that Kaze’s position as the chairman of Shangrila Group and CEO of Hudson Investment would inflate Kaze’s ego. If only Kaze had the influence to make the network cancel the show from airing and announce a public apology. However, the matter would not be an easy fix. Darcy contacted some of her friends in the media. “Ms. Quint, I could’ve helped you if the episode hadn’t been aired, but your issue isn’t Sherry now that the interview is out. “The network would be discrediting itself by admitting to defamation. Plus, if it is verified that they have published fake news, the producers, distributors, and network leaders will have to pay for their mistakes. “Even if the higher-ups in the network aren’t pleased with Sherry’s approach, they will never step forward and take the blame.“These
