Jaws dropped to the ground. Kaze threatened to tear Victoria International Hospital down right in Pete’s face and even asked the shareholder for his opinion on it. That was straight-up an insult. Keeve laughed. “Instead of asking Mr. Fuller, you should direct your question to your department leaders. “Ask them if they would cease the hotel’s operation in front of Mr. Fuller.” Keeve sneered at Kaze. “Haha. They wouldn’t. No one wants to make Mr. Fuller an enemy.”“Mr. Fuller is the grandson of the old mayor. He’s the most eligible bachelor in the city.” “With the power the former mayor holds, I doubt these chiefs will ever lay a hand on Victoria International Hospital.” “You’re a joke, Lee. Don’t embarrass yourself. With Mr. Fuller around, you can forget getting anything done.” Miriam, Lianne, and the others taunted out loud. Since the old mayor’s grandson was the shareholder of the hospital, there was nothing to fear. The joint law enforcement of 70, much less se
“I’m taking it there. Do you have a problem with it?” The nonchalance in Kaze’s tone was somewhat assertive. Everybody was shocked. Pete was the grandson of Trent, the old mayor while Kaze was a loser who took his wife’s last name. They belonged to two worlds. Pete should be the one in control of the situation while Kaze would whimper and simper desperately. Judging by the conversation between them, the roles seemed to be reversed. Kaze could not be cockier, and Pete could not give a straight answer. “What’s going on, Mr. Fuller? Are you ill? This guy here is a loser. Just crush him.” Keeve nudged Pete. The push from his friend was not appreciated at all, and it showed on Pete’s face. Pete snapped an angry look at Kaze and uttered, “I didn’t do anything to you this time, Kaze. I have shares in Victoria International Hospital. Are you stirring trouble on purpose?” No one expected the response from Pete. It sounded as if Kaze drove Pete up the wall. “I want t
Pete took off just like that. He did not look back, not even once. Silence befell the hallway to the emergency room. Even Miriam, Lianne, and others who ripped Kaze a new one just now were lost for words. Since Kaze drove Trent’s grandson away, no one else could stop him from tearing the hospital down. “You got to figure something out, Mr. Hobbs. You can’t let the bastard, I mean, Lee, shut the hospital down.” Miriam clung to Keeve’s arm in persuasion. It took quite an effort to get to where she was today through Keeve. Miriam would be the first to jump out and say no if the hospital operation was ceased. “Get lost. Don’t bother me!” Keeve shouted annoyedly. He was out of ideas. Kaze said, “Ask all the other shareholders to get here, Keeve. Don’t waste any more of everybody’s time.” The arrogant talk did not sit well with Keeve. Keeve lifted his head menacingly. “You secure a spot in the upper middle class, Lee, but that’s just because you took your wife’s fam
“You’re… Kaze?” Samson was shocked. While he had not met Kaze in real life, Samson had seen a photo of Kaze in his file. Besides, Samson could not stop thinking about Kaze ever since the latter broke both of his son’s legs. Samson probably could spot him a mile away at this point. As a veteran in the cruel business world, Samson got his act together in no time. He said curtly, “Why is Keeve’s phone in your possession, Kaze?” A million thoughts ran through his head. However, there was no question that Keeve was in Kaze’s hands. Phones had become inseparable attachments for people nowadays.The device could not have possibly fallen into the hands of Kaze for no reason. Kaze pointed the phone camera at Keeve on the ground and said with a smile, “Oh, your nephew is with me. He’s fine. Don’t worry.” On the screen, Samson was speechless. He could clearly see Keeve’s swollen cheeks. However, Kaze had a point. Keeve was fine. At least, Keeve was in a better posit
“Friendship is a two-way street. It takes both parties to make things work.”Samson said with a smile, “If you’re offering an olive branch, I don’t mind putting aside our differences and being friends.“All hope isn’t lost for Taz’s legs. He can be treated.” Even Kaze was shocked Samson would suggest a cease-fire. However, Kaze was not naïve to take Samson’s words for it as it was clearly a ploy. Friends meant nothing to Samson, whose life revolved around personal gains. Samson was the type to backstab when profits were at stake. “Tsk. What a loving father.” Kaze uttered with a grin, “I’m not inclined to be friends with a heartless man like you.” “So it’s not open for discussion?” Samson pulled a straight face and said emotionlessly, “Shut the hospital down then.” On the screen, Samson motioned to end the video call. His head was clear. Since Keeve was at Kaze’s mercy, it was likely Keeve had done everything he could, but nothing worked. It was the end of Vic
Morgan took the phone and pointed the camera at Kaze and Keeve. “What are you doing, Kaze?” Keeve asked in horror. Sensing danger, Keeve tried to crawl away. “Wham!” Kaze kicked him back down to the ground, approached him, and said without looking back, “Take a good look at what happens when you get on my last nerves, Samson.” “Don’t dare you, Kaze!” Samson’s angry and stunned voice came from the phone. His son, Taz, was useless. Keeve, on the other hand, was Samson’s nephew and the successor he had taken under his wing. Samson put Keeve in charge of running the private hospitals. Kaze broke two of Taz’s legs, and now he was going after Keeve. Samson would not put up with it. “Kaze, if you lay a finger on Keeve, I promise I will make you pay until the very end,” Samson shouted angrily. His contorted expression was nothing like the confident and level-headed businessman on TV. Alas, Samson’s threats did not sway Kaze. “Very well, then.” Kaze’s voice was pa
However, Samson tucked his murderous intent away. He helplessly realized that he could not ruin Kaze. At first, Samson intended to pit Leigh against Kaze, hoping they would be at each other’s throats. Even better if Leigh could kill Kaze. At least, Samson did not have to get his hands dirty. From the information Samson gathered, Kaze caused a scene on the set and brought Darcy home. After that, Kaze went to Landor Residential Area to confront Leigh. Samson believed Kaze was walking right into his death. To his surprise, Kaze appeared unscathed at Victoria International Hospital over an hour later, as arrogant as always. Leigh was tortured by a loser from an upper-middle-class family. The Glitters kept the humiliating news from getting out. Hence, Samson had no idea what happened in Landor Residential Area. There was no telling how Kaze walked away unharmed. These questions were enough reason for Samson to be wary of Kaze. Samson was a cautious and suspicious man
The business sector of Lilyrose finally saw some improvement after taking down the top three families. Kaze did not want rumors that could spread like cancer to affect the hard-earned improvement. He did not want anyone to use the opportunity to spread false information or misleading news to cause panic among the people and other companies. “Kaze, aren’t you a little too demanding?” Samson scoffed out of anger. He did not know what Kaze was trying to do. He simply assumed Kaze was like him, being greedy and wanting to take more for himself, hence acquiring the private hospitals. He glanced at the seven heads of departments behind Kaze and scoffed. “Tell me, is this your own idea or the idea of the people behind you?” Samson might have underestimated Kaze multiple times, but he still believed that shutting down Victoria International Hospital was too much of an undertaking for him to complete alone. There must be someone powerful supporting him, using the conflict between th
