The Red Foundation even got spammers and bribed media outlets to assist them in clearing their name. All the blame was shifted toward Kingston. It was he who abused his position as the South River Branch’s executive to collude with Desmond. With the help of online spammers and media outlets, the Red Foundation managed to claim the credit for reporting Kingston to the authority. The top brass then released another statement, claiming that they chose justice over helping one of their own. They reported Kingston to the police instead of covering the incident up, which ultimately sent Kingston behind bars. After all their effort, the Red Foundation was able to clear their name. With their influence, the negative impact from Kingston would be soon forgotten. An organization as big as the Red Foundation, which released recognition to smaller companies to aid their future development, would not be destroyed so easily by a mere PR crisis. “Let’s go in.” Darcy and the guild
“Lilian Wheel, what do you mean?” Darcy was upset. She did not expect Lilian to cause a scene upon meeting and even accused her of being a thief. “Playing dumb, are we? Am I not being clear enough?” Lilian pursed her lips and then looked at the other members. She pointed at Darcy and said loudly, “I believe not everyone knows who she is, right? This woman is Darcy Quint. She might be the president of the Lilyrose Commerce Guild and also the chairwoman of Sky Ocean Corporation, but she’s a thief! “She and her husband are car thieves! Look at the Koenigsegg outside! I believe everyone in our club knows who it belongs to, right?” Lilian went over to the window and pointed at the most amazing car outside. All the members went over to the window to have a look. “Isn’t that Leigh’s favorite car? It’s his new toy. We even saw it when he got it in Sunrise!” “Yeah! That’s Young Master Leigh’s car! Why is she driving it?” There were only six units of Koenigsegg One:1 in the who
Pft! Lilian laughed out loud. “Hahaha! You guys heard her? A Maserati Quattroporte?” “Hahaha!” All the other club members laughed loudly. “Sweetie, I’m sorry to say but driving a Maserati Quattroporte isn’t allowed to join us!” “You must be kidding us! A two million car was smashed and Leigh compensated you with a fifty million Koenigsegg?” “Do you think Young Master Leigh is stupid, or we are stupid?” The club members continued to laugh. Who would compensate for a two million car with a fifty million car? Not even a monkey would believe that. Darcy was shocked. “That car is worth fifty million?” She knew the car she drove was expensive but not that expensive. She could afford it, but she would never spend it on a car. “You keep telling yourself that.” Lilian crossed her arms and scoffed. “She’s taking us as fools. Young Master Leigh’s car is enough to buy twenty of your old car, yet you claimed you got it as compensation? You and your useless husband are th
“Ms. President!” The other guild members were shocked when Lilian slapped Darcy. They quickly stepped up to protect her and glared at Lilian. “Lilian Wheel, this is too much!” “How can you slap our president?” “You are just some person in charge of this supercar club! You have no right to choose violence!” The guild members stood up and defended Darcy. Not only did Lilian slap Darcy but her action was an insult to the Lilyrose Commerce Guild. Despite being scolded, Lilian reacted coldly and shook her hand. “Haha, you look down on us? Can’t you see we have that many club members here?” Following Lilian’s words, all the other club members were upset as well. Bang! A young man in his early 20s slammed the table and got up, shouting at the guild members, “You bastards! You look down on us? My father is one of the execs at South River Commerce Institute! Tell me your company’s name!” A woman wearing a baseball cap, smoking a cigarette, said, “My father is also a member
“Lilian Wheel, what do you mean?!” Upset, Darcy glared at Lilian, wondering what she meant. Could it be that this meeting with Tank was not just about investment? Lilian pursed her lips. “You will know what it means soon. There, Mr. Gebach is here.” The door was pushed open. Surrounded by his men, Tank strutted into the club. “Mr. Gebach!” “Uncle Tank!” All the club members greeted Tank upon his arrival. Most members were from powerful and wealthy families but were merely juniors compared to Tank, a titan in the investment world who shared the same status as Samson. Some of their fathers were actually close with Tank. Lilian went up to the man with a big smile. “Mr. Gebach, you’re finally here. Darcy Quint of Lilyrose Commerce Guild is also here.” Tank nodded. He then looked at Darcy, asking, “I believe you are President Darcy Quint?” “Mr. Gebach.” Darcy nodded with the bare minimum of respect. She skipped the chatters and asked, “Mr. Gebach, can I assume
Tank was surprised by Darcy’s persistence. He did not expect a mere commerce guild president of a small city to speak against him. “So you’re not planning to give it back?” Tank narrowed his eyes. The warmth in his tone was replaced by coldness. Darcy took a deep breath and said, “Glitter gave it to me, why should I give it back?” Everyone else in the club was shocked. What made Darcy so stubborn? Tank switched to a fiercer tone to express his dissatisfaction, yet Darcy did not seem to notice it. “Darcy Quint, you really have the nerves!” Lilian bellowed. “You stole Mr. Leigh’s car. Mr. Gebach only wants you to return it and nothing else. This is letting you off easy, yet you don’t appreciate his kindness?!” Every word she spoke was fanning the flames. Tank raised his wrist to glance at his watch. “My guest is arriving soon. I do not have time to speak with you, it’s a waste of time. “If you do not want to return the car, please leave. We’ll deal with this aft
Lilian never would have thought the guest would be Kaze. “Kaze Lee, are you the driver?” Lilian looked into the rear seat but saw no one. Kaze strangely looked at her. “Are you okay? Stop acting strange beside me.” “What? I’m not strange!” Lilian was upset by his words. She bellowed, “You shouldn’t be here! Our club is having a gathering and the owner of South River Group is meeting an important guest here! Get the hell out!” She pointed at the main entrance, asking Kaze to leave. Kaze was surprised and amused. “If I’m not wrong, I’m the guest Tank Gebach wants to meet.” “You? You useless piece of shit? Are you dreaming?” Lilian did not believe a word Kaze said. She turned around to Tank’s men and bellowed, “Get him out! This isn’t right! This idiot is here to cause trouble!” “Ms. Wheel, he is indeed Mr. Gebach’s guest.” Tank’s men stood to the side and drew distance from Lilian. They looked at Kaze and politely said, “Mr. Lee, Mr. Gebach is waiting for you insi
Bang! A moment later, the supercar club’s door opened with a bang. “Aaaah!” Lilian was thrown inside, shocking everyone else. “Ms. Wheel!” The closest club members approached her immediately and helped her up. Upset, they then shouted at the door, “Who did it? Who threw Ms. Wheel inside?” “Someone hit a woman without holding back? What a cheap move!” “How dare someone hit Ms. Wheel at our club? He must have a death wish!” Tank stood and watched in silence. When he saw Lilian’s swollen face and miserable state, he frowned. Holding Darcy’s hand, Kaze then strutted inside the club confidently. “Supercar club? What even is that? My wife is a woman too but when that woman slapped her, no one stood up for her. “You dare hit my wife? I think there’s no reason for this supercar club to exist anymore.” Kaze stepped on the door he kicked down earlier, crushing the supercar club’s logo with it. It was a blatant provocation to everyone in the club. “Darcy Quint is your
