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
Leigh raised his brows. He scoffed. “We’ll see about that.” He had never even considered Kaze as a person. Even though Kaze was the chairman of Shangrila Group and not just any peasant, he was nothing compared to the Glitters. Leigh believed even the mayor of Lilyrose would be afraid of him once he revealed his family’s name. “Kaze Lee, I’ll give you a chance. You can call whoever you want, you call the mayor for all I care. “But if you can’t get anyone who has the balls to touch me, don’t blame me for getting rough. Not only must you compensate me, but I get to sleep with your wife. Your time starts now…” Leigh grinned as he stared at Darcy’s seductive body. Darcy was scared. She did not want to waste her time with the pervert anymore. She tugged at Kaze's sleeve and said, “Kaze, why don’t we just pay…” Kaze shot a killer glance at Leigh. “Darcy, believe me. This is Lilyrose.” He calmed her down and then pulled his phone out for a call. “Don, my wife and I are caug
The officers quickly wrapped up their investigations on site and came up with a result. Leigh grinned when he saw Don ordered his men to sum up the situation. It seemed like Don had decided to side with him, blatantly. “Kaze Lee, I told you. At a place like this, no one dares to lay a finger on me. Now I can have fun with your wife.” His grin widened as he pervertedly scrutinized Darcy. He was already picturing all kinds of filthy sex positions in bed. He was not afraid of Kaze backing on his word. Kaze said coldly, “You should be grateful that there are people here, or else you will end up terrible.” He was the mayor of Lilyrose, so he had a reputation to maintain. Even though not all the people knew about his new identity, it would be revealed sooner or later. It was also the main reason why he did not resolve in violence this time. Otherwise, he did not even need to contact Don and could take care of Leigh and his goons himself. “I’ll allow you to continue bark
“Y-You hit me?! You are a police officer! This is police violence! Do you want to get canceled?!” Samuel covered his face, shouting as he looked at Don in disbelief. “A slap is the lightest punishment for you,” Don said coldly. He then said to his men, “This man here is suspected of obstructing justice and threatening a police officer. Take him away.” The people cheered once more. They did not find the slap on Samuel’s face to be inappropriate. Samuel was also arrogant, like Leigh, and through Don, the people were relieved of their grievance. A goon of an arrogant prick threatened the police chief of the city? A slap was a small warning to remind him of the integrity of the police force. Leigh’s expression turned grim knowing that Don slapped Samuel without hesitation even after his identity was revealed. He finally realized his background did not scare Don. If he continued his arrogant attitude, given Don’s feisty temper, he might be slapped as well. With that, L
At Nobel Hotel, Kaze and Darcy were welcomed by the hotel employees. All the employees had a strong impression of Kaze after he made Harrison, the consul of Paladia, kneel in front of the hotel. “Hi, can you please inform the representatives of Four Ocean Commerce Guild that the chairwoman of Quartet Group, Darcy Quint, requests a meeting with them?” Darcy politely said to the reception manager. The Four Ocean Commerce Guild sent a group of representatives over and booked an entire floor in the hotel for themselves. “Please wait, Ms. Quint. I’ll inform the representatives right away.” The reception manager nodded at Darcy and Kaze before he went off. At the same time in a meeting room on the ninth floor, the representatives from the guild gathered but the atmosphere was unusually quiet. “What?! Leigh was arrested and detained?!” A man with a scrawny face shouted in disbelief. His name was Max Kang, one of the representatives sent by the guild to inspect Darcy’s compan
