It hit Moses that the person Sherry had poured all means to destroy was Kaze. Despite Moses’ pleading, Kaze stood firm on his stance. Kaze said ruthlessly, “Instead of sacking her, you send your well-used plaything to me.“You sure think little of me, Mr. McKentucky.” “Thud!” Moses fell back to the ground, the sparkle in his eyes dimming. He knew he was done for. It was clear to him that Kaze would not let him get away with it. Most importantly, Moses had nothing to say about it. Kaze’s words rang true. Without looking at Moses, Kaze told Caleb indifferently, “It’s time to purge the local network from top to bottom. “Lilyrose TV Station represents Lilyrose. Yet, it is a place of corruption.” “Of course, sir.” Caleb shuddered. Since Caleb introduced Moses to Kaze, he was to blame for what had happened. He knew that he had lost trust with the mayor. Caleb needed to earn Kaze’s trust back. Hence, he summoned his employee. “Send out a circular detailing Mo
The journalists’ words sealed Zenny’s and Sherry’s fate, and not in a good way. In less than half an hour, Zenny’s attack on Sherry went viral online. That was when the truth came to light. In an attempt to acquire Shangrila Group, Sherry colluded with Zenny to paint Kaze and Winnie’s relationship as improper. It was a shameless act. The public condemned Sherry and Zenny. Utterly disgraced, Sherry and Zenny became public enemy number one. The next day, Lilyrose TV Station issued a public apology and statement to Kaze and Darcy’s family which included the termination of Moses and Sherry. Since then, Moses and Sherry disappeared from the city. Rumor had it that Sherry was spotted in a high-end club in Sunrise City, entertaining her usual clientele of the rich and powerful. A contrast to her previous inclination, Sherry had to parade around with a smile on her face now. Winnie, the victim of the very publicized scandal, came forward courageously and filed for divorc
“Four Ocean Commerce Guild is looking to procure me as their high-level member and wants to do an observation on me,” Darcy said. Lilyrose was just a tiny market to conquer. Quartet Group and Sky Ocean Corporation were bound to expand to Sunrise City and the entire nation. The businesses were bound to cross paths with Four Ocean Commerce Guild to make an entry into Sunrise City. Four Ocean Commerce Guild happened to contact Darcy to take her in as a member. Darcy wanted to grab the opportunity to establish a positive relationship with the guild. Sensing Kaze’s reluctance, Darcy said, “You’re going with me, Kaze. I have made plans with the representatives of Four Ocean Commerce Guild.“Expanding your network will help with your career.” Kaze’s high tolerance for alcohol was not the only reason Darcy was bringing him along. She wanted him to engage with the representatives of Four Ocean Commerce Guild and lay the groundwork for his networking. Picking up the concern in Da
“Get out! Get out now!” With Darcy staying put in the car, the sidekick kicked the door harder. The Maserati door was dented with several shoe prints. All the while, the man with the sunglasses stood there aloofly. Darcy was heartbroken for her car because this was the first car Kaze had ever given to her. She looked around. By then, many passersby stopped to watch the commotion. Although the group looked mean, she believed they would not do anything to her in broad daylight. She rolled down her window and said, “Stop kicking the car. I’ll get out now.”Samuel Lockson, the sidekick, scoffed and moved back two steps. Darcy opened the door and got out of the car. “Wow. This woman is hot, and she’s rich too. Look at the million-dollar car she drives.” “Don’t you know her? She’s the chairman of Sky Ocean Corporation, Darcy Quint. She rear-ended the car.” Darcy was well-known in Lilyrose. Sherry’s false claims in the last two days had become the talk of the town. Man
Darcy was surprised. She heard of the Sunrise Glitters, a wealthy and powerful family equivalent to the Lees. Leigh’s father was the trustee of Four Ocean Commerce Guild. The guild intended to take her in as a member too. Talk about a twist of fate. Nevertheless, those close to Darcy would know she was a woman of principle. She would not let the whole thing go because of Leigh’s relationship to Four Ocean Commerce Guild. “Hello, Mr. Glitter. Did you make me rear-end you?” Since Leigh was clearly trying to take advantage of her, Darcy did not reach her hand out for the handshake. Instead, she grilled him courteously. Leigh pursed his lips, withdrew his arm, and said with a smile, “You can say that, gorgeous. I want to know you.“Don’t you think a romance that begins from a car crash is romantic like in soap operas?” “Romantic like in soap operas?” The absurdity of the man rubbed Darcy the wrong way. “You’re breaking the traffic law with no regard for human lives.
“As for this lousy car, you can drive it back after you pay me,” Leigh said casually. Darcy felt like she was talking to a wall. Leigh admitted that he hit her car on purpose yet he was shameless enough to demand compensation. Darcy scoffed. She lost her patience in talking to the man. She pulled her phone out and said, “Then there’s nothing left to talk about. We’ll let the authority decide who will pay for the damages.” It was then Samuel stepped up and snatched the phone away from her. The young men from both their cars got closer and surrounded her. They all looked at Darcy with an unfriendly gaze. “What are you doing?! Give me back my phone!” Darcy shouted. She cautiously looked at the men around her. She did not expect them to be so audacious in broad daylight. She felt scared all of a sudden. The passersby who saw the scene also felt that Leigh and Samuel were being bullies but they obviously had a strong background, so no one dared to step in or intervene de
Darcy could not imagine what would happen if Leigh and his men got her. She could never live with the humiliation. “Darcy, are you okay? You got into a crash?” The voice from heaven sounded, saving Darcy from the realm of despair. Darcy looked up and was overjoyed. Kaze squeezed through the crowd and came to her, holding her hand. “Babe, are you okay? Are you hurt? Why are you crying?” The moment he received her call, he went to Nobel Hotel. When he was near the hotel, he saw the commotion from afar. He got out of his car to find out what happened and then spotted Darcy being surrounded. “I’m fine. Thank god you are here, Kaze.” Darcy regained her confidence. She held Kaze’s hand tightly and then pointed at Leigh and his men. “These men hit my car on purpose and wanted me to pay for the damages.” “Isn’t this Kaze Lee? The useless husband?” “Useless? That’s past tense to you. He’s the chairman of Shangrila Group and the CEO of Hudson Investment Firm.” The crowd
Under the people’s astonished stare, Leigh demanded Kaze to let him sleep with his wife. Even the passersby could not stand his arrogance. “He thinks he can do anything just because he is rich? Ms. Quint is also rich but she’s not an asshole like you!” “Yeah. Get out of the city, you filthy jerk! Lilyrose isn’t your dirty playground!” “He has the money but not the character. He really thinks he’s above the law.” The people criticized Leigh for his disrespectful words. Leigh did not even take the people’s criticism seriously. He smiled and frivolously said, “Shut up, peasants! You can’t do shit about it! You people should think twice before talking to me like that. Have you heard of the Sunrise Glitters? Oh wait, I forgot Lilyrose is a shithole. You filthy peasants are like cavemen! “No one in this city can lay a finger on me, let alone stand in my way! Look, no one is here to stop me after what has happened.” Leigh disrespected not only Kaze and Darcy but also the peo
