“Cosmo!” Darcy grimaced. She knew who he was. The police force in Lilyrose put Cosmo behind bars for a while, and the Lees put pressure on Kaze to bail Cosmo out. The Lees even sent Adam to act as a mediator. Cosmo did make it back to Sunrise City in the end, but his legs were broken. Since then, the Lees’ presence disappeared from the city for a while. Even Lee Investment was on the down low. Cosmo’s appearance at Sky Ocean Corporation was not a good thing. Darcy quickly put two and two together. “You sent those people from Vista Group yesterday, Cosmo.” Darcy narrowed her eyes at Cosmo. “What do you want?” “You’re quick to pick up. I should get straight to the point.” As Cosmo’s lewd eyes violated Darcy, he said with a smile, “I don’t want a lot. I just want all your shares in Quartet Group and Sky Ocean Corporation.“Hear that? I want it all.” Cosmo carried himself with an air of domineering confidence, his determination unwavering. He had a clear unders
“I hope to see the papers signed by you to transfer the shares by this time tomorrow. “Clean yourself up when you see me tomorrow. You get what I mean. “Sure, your husband has connections to the government now, but I can show you what hell is.” Cosmo threatened Darcy recklessly. He assumed Darcy knew that Kaze was the mayor of Lilyrose. However, the message went over Darcy’s head. She simply took Cosmo’s words at face value. To be fair, the Lees were rich and powerful enough to overlook Lilyrose’s city council. “Give this woman something to think about.” Cosmo clapped his hands. Plop! A foreigner with Cosmo pulled out a gun from his holster. The foreigner took a step ahead and slammed the gun on the table in front of Cosmo. The employees of Sky Ocean Corporation were taken aback. Cosmo was so arrogant to flash a firearm in public. The veteran security officers stepped forward to protect Darcy and her employees while looking warily at the two foreigners behin
The senior executives talked among themselves in a panic. Darcy drew a deep breath and looked at the veteran security officers. She asked, “Are those foreigners mercenaries?” “Yes, Ms. Quint. They have served in the army. They have this presence about them.“They were outrageous enough to show their faces in Arcadia and flashed their guns. I’m sure there’s nothing they won’t do,” a security officer commented solemnly. The senior executives grew anxious. Some even wanted to hand in their resignation. The Lees had their eye on Sky Ocean Corporation and even hired foreign mercenaries. These mercenaries were cold-blooded murderers. The group felt chills down their spine. Fear washed over Darcy too. “You are all dismissed. I will figure out a way. I promise no one else will be dragged into this. Trust me.” She sent the senior executives home and locked herself in the office. Darcy did not expect Cosmo to take things far in the name of vengeance. However, the circumsta
“Darcy, we should talk inside where it’s more private,” Cosmo said with a smile while drawing puffs. He brought his men to block Darcy at the door in case there was a trap waiting for him inside the building. Cosmo could not be sure whether Darcy would fight back. Though he managed to instill fear in Darcy, he knew that Darcy and Kaze were notoriously stubborn. However, Cosmo had nothing to worry about if he entered the building with Darcy. With Darcy as his hostage, Kaze would not try anything foolish. “Alright.” Darcy got her act together and nodded. She could not refuse now that she fell into the hands of Cosmo. Cosmo’s people surrounded Darcy while Sky Ocean Corporation’s security team escorted Cosmo’s group. The crowd surged into the building. The group stepped into the lobby and took the lift to the floor where Darcy’s office was. Cosmo knew then that no ambush was set up in the building. “You have a night to think things through. What’s your answer?” L
Sky Ocean Corporation was a recognized business second to Perfect World Group.Kaze bought the company at the auction for 500 million dollars. The corporation grew in assets due to its successful mergers and development. In addition to the company shares held by the Queens for Darcy, her own shares were worth more than a billion dollars.Yet, Cosmo wanted to buy all her shares for a hundred dollars. It was a joke. “You are not serious about doing business, Cosmo. “You want to acquire my shares for a hundred dollars. That’s daylight robbery. “Do you think I wouldn’t call the cops?” Darcy said curtly, her cheeks flushed with anger. She ignored the night at the hotel comment. Either way, her response would egg Cosmo on. Cosmo seemed to get a kick out of Darcy’s rage. “Are you threatening me, Darcy?” Raising a brow, Cosmo waved at his subordinates in the back and smirked. “Why don’t I call the cops for you? Should my people help you make the phone call?” One of
“Get it, Ms. Quint?” Cosmo’s subordinate said with a pretentious smile. His flat tone was creepy. Even Darcy had goosebumps. She dared not imagine what would happen to her family if they fell into the hands of Cosmo. “Maybe you should just sign the contract, Ms. Quint. You’re in charge of the company’s daily affairs. Even if Mr. Lee becomes the shareholder, you can work for him, and you will be paid well.” “That’s right. Mr. Lee is wealthy. I believe he’s a generous employer.” “No one can handle the consequences of upsetting Mr. Lee.” The senior executives persuaded Darcy. Nevertheless, it somehow slipped these people’s minds that Cosmo was not demanding Darcy’s shares. He wanted to have a night with her too. The change of ownership in shares made no difference to them. It was just a change of boss. That was all. However, if Darcy challenged Cosmo’s authority and pissed him off, the executives might get dragged into the mess. Hence, they wished they could hold D
The menacing look on Cosmo’s face made Darcy shudder in fear. Kaze put his hands on her shoulders before frowning at Cosmo. He said in a chilling voice, “You’re one of the Lees?“I’ve never seen you before.” Before Kaze left the family, Cosmo, a minor at the time, rarely visited the family residence.It made sense that Kaze did not recognize Cosmo after years had passed. Though Kaze was the reason for Cosmo’s tough living situation behind bars and Harrison breaking his legs, Kaze had never met Cosmo in person. “Bastard! I can’t believe you don’t know who I am!” Cosmo yelled savagely. Cosmo was in a miserable state because of Kaze. Yet, the latter did not know him. The feeling was worse than when Kaze ignored him earlier. “Fine. It doesn’t matter that you don’t know me.” Cosmo nodded and hissed through clenched teeth, “You’ll know who I am after today, Kaze. “I came here to make you pay.“But it’s not going to be a quick and painless death. I want to steal your wife
Kaze was out for blood. He would have struck had he not been worried about causing unnecessary fatalities and injuries in the crossfire.“Are you alright, sir?” A subordinate helped Cosmo up in a fluster. “Get lost.” Cosmo shook the subordinate’s arm off and wobbled his spinning head before coming to grips with reality. He glared at Kaze and rubbed his cheek. “You have the nerve to hit me, loser. “You mooched off the family, and then we kicked you out. How dare you hit me!” The office was filled with Cosmo’s angry screams. Ignoring the weapons directed at him, Kaze said indifferently, “Didn’t I break your legs a long time ago? “I’ll say this one last time. Kneel and apologize. You better tell me your name.“Otherwise, I can guarantee that you won’t be walking out the door.” Sky Ocean Corporation’s senior executives shuddered. “So you want to know my name? “Fine. I’ll tell you right now. At least you’ll know the name of your killer.” Livid, Cosmo turned arou
