“You wouldn’t dare, would you? If I die here in Lilyrose, Geranium will go to hell and many people will go down with me! “Your wife, your family, and your friends, and even Hart Lyfe and his family. You know them, right? Do you know how they are doing? Are you going to put their lives at risk by killing me?” Sieg laughed frantically. He was not like Astral or the others who cried at the moment of defeat and started to beg Kaze. Even though Kaze’s foot was on his chest, he continued to provoke Kaze. “You think I’m afraid?” Kaze looked at Sieg coldly. He grabbed the young man by the neck and lifted him into the air like a little animal. Suffocation started to attack Sieg and he began to feel the fear of death. “Ugh…” Sieg struggled in the air, his tongue was out, his eyes were red, and he was losing his breath. “What happened to Hart and his daughter?” Kaze slightly released his grip to allow Sieg to speak. Sieg’s legs were able to touch the ground, which gave him
Kaze nodded. “Mhmm. Did you bring enough money? 6.3 billion.” “6.3 billion?!” Astral was surprised. Kaze looked at him. “Any problem?” “N-No problem at all!” Astral shook his head nervously. His pursed lips were twitching helplessly. He received a call from Kaze last night, asking him to prepare some money to buy Rove’s shares. He did not expect it to be so much! Astral Wealth Management’s funds were basically empty and he even had to get a loan to meet the numbers. Kaze did not feel bad for using Astral’s money. However, Astral dared not say anything out loud or even defy Kaze. The incident at Landor Residential Area had broken him completely. Soon, Rove’s 20% shares were acquired under Astral Wealth Management’s name. “Astral, you won!” Sieg grunted heavily and then left with a bitter look. He thought Astral was the one pulling the strings behind and Kaze was just the puppet. Kaze and Astral teamed up secretly to acquire 20% shares of Rove. Kaze look
Kaze then kicked Eddie away before leaving the hall with Darcy. Eddie fell on his butt. He stared in the direction where Kaze and Darcy walked away and felt like hope was leaving his world. “Kaze, did you and Astral…?” Darcy still could not wrap her head around the situation after leaving the exhibition center. Astral did not come here to cause trouble but he brought money here to help Kaze acquire Rove. Kaze smiled and said, “I told you when I came back from Landor Residential Area. I beat him up and he’s now as loyal as a dog.” “Uh…” Darcy had no idea what to say. Looking at how Astral behaved in front of Kaze earlier, it really looked like he was scared of being beaten up again. Kaze started the car and then said, “I’ll drive you back to your office first. I want to visit Hart and his daughter at their place and see how they are doing.” “Alright.” Darcy nodded. At the entrance of the exhibition center, Sieg and Dakota appeared together. “I’ve underestimated K
Daphne’s message surprised everyone in her family. “R-Really?! Who would have thought! Sieg got beaten up by Kaze?!” Hart cried in surprise after he heard the news. His wife was also excited and happy. “If we can contact Mr. Lee and ask him for help, Daphne can be free as well!” As a mother, she did not want her daughter to step into a trap. Hart did not want it to happen either but with Sieg on their backs, they could not resist his orders. The entire family had been living in despair for the past two days. Until they got the news of Kaze beating up Sieg, it lit the ember of hope in their hearts. A quick thought later, Hart said, “Daphne, see if you can get the message to Mr. Lee.” However, before they could come up with a solution, guards came to the courtyard and brought them into the living hall. Every family member was in the hall. Syed was also there in the main seat, looking nervous and anxious. The moment the brothers met, Hart said coldly, “Syed, I heard
“Hart Lyfe, I know you.” Mary Sue shot her sharp gaze at Hart. “You are also responsible for our young master’s arrest!” Despite being only Madam Hacks’ maid, she remained proud and stern while facing Hart, one of the pioneers in the business world. Mary Sue stared at Hart, asking, “So, you are the head of this family? What a joke. You are not even a big family yet you dare to oppose the Hacks family of Geranium and disrespect our young master!” Syed was afraid when he heard Mary Sue. He wondered if Madam Hacks knew that he and his brothers were no longer on the same side. He did not want the lady to blame the entire Lyfe family. He said, “Ms. Roberts, our family is also quite influential here in Lilyrose. Hart is not qualified to be the head of the family. “He is on his own, he has nothing to do with us. The Lyfe family had always respected Young Master Kingston. “Ms. Roberts, please come in and have a seat. I’ll have the servants to serve tea to you!” Syed attenti
What? Kneel and apologize again? This whole kneel and apologize routine seemed to have grown old and boring but people seemed to be hellbent about it. Hart’s expression turned grim. He thought he could just pay some money, or a lot of money to have this problem solved. Surprisingly, it was another round of trampling people’s pride and dignity. Mary Sue looked at Hart and coldly asked, “What’s wrong? You don’t want to do it? “Madam Hacks’ condition is considered lenient because your daughter is going to marry our young master. She has gone through Daphne Lyfe’s profile and she’s quite happy with it. “She wanted to pick a date for you to send her over to our young master, but not to get married. Your daughter is to bear a child for the young master within two years and only then they will be legally wed. “The madam sent me here to teach her manners because she doesn’t want the girl to embarrass everyone, especially the young master.” Mary Sue spoke in the most relaxed m
Mary Sue narrowed her frosty eyes. She got up from the chair and sauntered over to Daphne. No one in the room dared to make a noise as they watched her movement nervously. Hart quickly stepped in front of Daphne and then said, “Ms. Roberts, please. Daphne is still young…” “Out of my way!” Mary Sue bellowed and glared at him. Hart tried to argue but one of Mary Sue’s followers, a bald middle-aged man, came over. “Move, old man!” The man grabbed Hart by the neck and shoved him to the floor. Hart grunted in pain when he hit the floor. The expression on his face was proof that the fall really hurt. Daphne was shocked. “Dad…” Slap! As soon as the word escaped Daphne’s mouth, Mary Sue slapped her in the face. A clear slap mark appeared on Daphne’s face. “What was that?!” Daphne covered her face and shouted. Her eyes teared up due to the pain. Mary Sue remained frosty. “A girl who does not know manners must be taught a lesson!” The others in the family gloated
Syed and the other family members were also scared. One strike from the whip could easily lacerate the skin. Mary Sue furrowed her brows. “Be careful with that, Stone. Don’t ruin her face. We cannot allow a disfigured girl to marry into the family.” “Don’t worry, Mary Sue. I’ve been practicing the whip for years and I’ve used it on live targets as well. I never missed. I assure you the girl’s face would be spared,” Stone said casually. Judging from Stone’s tone, he seemed to be at the same rank as Mary Sue. He then looked at the terrified Daphne and grinned. “Don’t worry, I will only whip you where you have clothes on. It’s painful but it won’t leave a mark. After all, the madam chose you as her future daughter-in-law.” Daphne shivered in fear when she saw Stone’s perverted grin. Her mind even went numb. Hart teared up watching her daughter being threatened. He tried his best to get up and shouted, “Daphne, run! Go! Go find help! Look for Mr. Lee!” The shout brought D
