Chapter 17 Sudden Changes

Penulis: Five Generals
Kaze smiled. “Yes, I am the Chairman of Sky High Investment Group, in the flesh.”

Agnes flushed. She curled her hands around Kaze’s arm tightly.

Having the Chairman of Sky High Investment Group as her son-in-law would make her the most famous lady in all of Lilyrose City.

The next time she met up with her friends, they would be envious of her. Her friends who used to look down on her would probably flatter her or kneel before her for forgiveness.

Master Quint could not contain the jealousy in his heart as he stared at the pile of expensive gifts. He went up with his glass of wine and said, “Darcy, the Quintessential Group is facing some funding issues at the moment. Can you spare some of your presents to help us overcome this problem? Consider it as a contribution to the family…”

Agnes was displeased when she heard Master Quint.

“Father, I clearly remembered that we were excommunicated. Why must we contribute to your family?”

Master Quint chuckled awkwardly. “That was jus

    “My marketing director said he doesn’t know you at all.” Could it be that Kaze was impersonating the Chairman of Sky High Investment Group? Agnes’ heart sank deep into the abyss. Darcy looked at Kaze, not knowing why he would impersonate the chairman. “But the presents are indeed for Darcy.” Kelly reluctantly explained, “I don’t know why but the presents are from the chairman. He wishes you a happy birthday.” She clenched her fists tightly when she explained and it fueled her jealousy. She thought she could finally shame Darcy in public but the chairman took a liking in her. However, if it was true, then Kaze might lose his wife soon. Kelly sized up Kaze contemptuously. Kaze was speechless. He left his men in charge of the company for years, so it was normal for the common employees to not know of his existence. Baffled, Darcy asked, “Kaze, what is going on?” Kaze explained, “Darcy, believe me. I am really the chairman.” “Enough!” Darcy glared at him. “Kaze, c

    After the phone call, Kelly bolted and left the presents behind. Everyone found it strange but the celebratory mood of the party was not affected. Even though Kaze was not the chairman, he knew the chairman, so it was possible to reach the chairman through him. Darcy and her family were heavily surrounded by guests who were trying to win over them. Agnes and Hector were flustered. They had been waiting for this moment for years and with it, they could finally lift their heads up as proud human beings, especially before their extended family. Master Quint said shyly, “Darcy, since the chairman is indebted to Kaze, why don’t you tell him to ask for an investment from the chairman? I’m not asking for much, one or two hundred million is definitely more than enough.” “Grandfather, I…” Darcy looked troubled. “What’s wrong? You can’t do it? You are a Quint and you can’t even do your family a favor?” Master Quint was displeased with her answer. Kaze knew the old man was trying

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 20 Audacious Ned Brooks

    “Mr. Lee, Sky High Investment Group is massive. It’ll take time for Ms. Quint to believe you. It’s normal. “How about this? Since the Construction and Material Society has just been dissolved, we can form a new company for the former board members and you can be the new chairman. Even though it’s not a fitting title for your status, at least you can have an official position and it will be much more convenient…” Kaze thought and nodded. "Sounds good. Sky High will provide the funds and the former board members can bring their resources to this new company. Sky High will be in control with a majority stake. Let's call it the Perfect World Group." Ray was thrilled to learn the new name of the company. With that, the former board members of the Construction and Material Society would form a working relationship with Sky High Investment Group. Kaze glanced at Ray and said, “Ray, why don’t you be the new company’s manager? I’ll just be a nominal chairman.” “My pleasure!” Ray nodde

    Darcy could no longer control her anger. She shouted, “Chief Brooks, don’t do this! I’ll call the police!” “Haha! You’re threatening me?” Ned laughed maniacally and slapped Darcy on the face. Darcy covered her swollen cheek and wanted to run but Ned caught her other hand. He pointed at the table and said, “Lay down and I’ll fuck you here and now! You bitch! Stop pretending!” “Let go of me!” Darcy struggled but she was no match for the man. Anxious, she grabbed a tumbler on the table and smashed Ned’s head with it. “Aaargh! You fucking bitch! You hit me? I’ll fucking rape you!” Ned covered his bleeding forehead and cried in pain. He was forced to release Darcy. Darcy tossed the tumbler away and ran out of the room immediately. After she left the place, she wandered alone on the street aimlessly. She was still terrified with her mind blank and clueless of what to do. Suddenly, she received a call from Samus. “Where the hell are you? Come back here right now!” Darc

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 22 Beat Up Ned Brooks

    Ignoring the ferocious glares of the Quint family, Kaze went over to help Darcy up. “Darcy, let’s go home. I assure you nothing will happen.” He also helped Agnes up and brought them out of the mansion. “Darcy, you hit Ned Brooks! Do you really think you can run away like that? Turn yourself in!” “You better surrender for the sake of our family! Think of your parents! Hmph!” The others continued to threaten Darcy, causing her face to turn as pale as paper. “Kaze, send Mom and Dad home. I’ll go turn myself in.” After leaving the Quint family’s mansion, Darcy held Kaze’s hand as tears washed her face. She said, “Please take care of them. I don’t believe my grandfather and the others, but I believe in you.” Agnes was worried. She pulled Darcy away and said to Kaze, “Kaze, why don’t you take her spot? Darcy has suffered enough for the past few years and it’s all because of you.” Kaze’s heart was broken, but it was indeed his fault that Darcy and her family suffered terribly

    “What the fuck are you trying to do? Don’t come near me!” Ned instinctively retreated. His face turned pale. “Your wife hit me! One word and I can throw her behind bars for life!” “Are you threatening me?” Kaze darted forward and lifted the bastard by the collar. Bang! He rammed Ned’s head against the glass partition, leaving his head dangling outside while the rest of his body hung over the metal railing. “Aaaaaaah!” Ned screamed at the top of his lungs while struggling to get unstuck.The broken glasses cut his face, causing him to bleed terribly. “I am the Chief of the Housing Department! How dare you hit me, you fucking retard! You and your family are fucking dead!” Kaze did not say a word. He simply kicked the man’s bottom. “Aaaaaaah!” The kick squeezed Ned’s upper body out of the glass partition. The metal railing was crooked after the impact. Ned felt like his bones were all broken. Kaze went outside the office, grabbed Ned by the neck, and pulled his

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 24 Righteousness Before Family

    Everyone was shocked. What happened? Ned was beaten and stepped on but Johnson, his uncle and also the mayor, scolded him instead of apprehending the culprit. Johnson clenched his teeth tightly and stared at his nephew viciously. “Uncle Johnson, can’t you see? He almost killed me!” Ned continued screaming for help. “You got what you deserved!” Johnson then looked at the expressionless Kaze. He clenched his fists and teeth tightly. Then, he looked around and walked to an employee to take the baseball bat away. The employee planned to beat Kaze with the baseball bat, but it did not happen. Johnson raised the bat in the air. As more than a hundred pairs of eyes watched in disbelief, John swung the bat down at Ned. “Aaaargh!” Ned cried in pain. It was just the start. Johnson beat Ned furiously and he did not hold back at all. Ned continued to wail in pain. He had never been so insulted and humiliated before, being beaten up by his own uncle in front of more than a h

    Ned glared at his wife. He then turned to Darcy, who was mortified, and bowed apologetically. “Ms. Quint, I am so sorry, please don’t turn yourself in or whatever. I should be punished for what I did to you, you have every right to hit me!” He then slapped himself a few times. Nara was stunned by her husband’s action but she dared not say a word. She knew her husband must have offended some powerful people. “Chief Brooks, uh…” Darcy and her parents were stunned as well. Then, Kaze showed up. Darcy asked hurriedly, “Kaze, what is going on?” “I went to the Housing Department, beat him up, and he swore not to take revenge on us,” Kaze said with a smile. Darcy and her parents then realized Ned was covered in injuries. Ned then said timidly, “Yes, yes. Mr. Lee has taught me a lesson and I learned what I did wrong. I will never do it again.” “Chief Brooks, you’re not taking revenge anymore?” Darcy was still concerned. She was afraid that Ned simply agreed not to take re

    “Gone too far?” Phoenix said furiously, “Do you want to get it too, boy?” “Shut up, Kaze!” Not wanting the situation to escalate, Agnes charged over and said ingratiatingly, “I’m sorry, Madam Quint. We didn’t do a good job raising Sky. He simply didn’t think straight in the heat of the moment.”“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry!” Darcy apologized as well. “I’ll wipe the blood off you, Madam Quint. We don’t want to get your hands dirty.” Joan pulled out a tissue and cleaned Phoenix’s hands fawningly while uttering sarcastically, “You have no idea, Madam Quint. Some people have the money. They just don’t want to spend it.“As far as I know, our little leader is living in a villa worth several hundred million dollars in Riverbank. The villa was a gift from Mayor Synder too.“They didn’t give a bracelet that was only worth half a million because they have no money. They simply do not care enough for you, Madam Quint. “They’re just trying to fob you off since you’re only an old

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3123 Who Are You Insulting?

    “We from Chrysant City have given Madam Quint a bullet-proof Lincoln stretch from Uleania. The Lincoln will be Madam Quint’s ride in Riverbank,” a middle-aged man with glasses said smugly.Kaze glanced at the Lincoln stretch not too far away, understanding the value of the car. “Madam Quint can’t be staying in the hotel throughout her trip. We, the branch in Takeno City, are a family in politics, so we lack funding. Still, we borrowed a villa from a major corporation to accommodate Madam Quint,” a representative of the Takeno Quints said with a chuckle. The Takeno Quints talked about borrowing. Their primary focus was on politics, so they could not be honest about their net worth. However, every branch of the Quints presented Phoenix with expensive gifts. Each gift was worth at least five million dollars. The five-hundred-thousand-dollar bracelet from Darcy’s family seemed modest in comparison. Sure enough, Phoenix grew upset and raised her free arm to slap the gift box

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3122 How Much?

    Even Darcy did not think Phoenix would deny her. It was true that Darcy was supposed to gather all family branches in Riverbank. She would have to discipline the unruly and unite the rest. Her goal was to consolidate the family’s power and resources under her control. It was a clear and comprehensive strategy. Darcy had not anticipated such a response from her first meeting with Phoenix. It was harsh. Phoenix completely dismissed her. Darcy, though accepting fault, felt hurt. Agnes felt like her world was crumbling down. If Darcy was stripped of her leadership role, the family would go back to when things were bad. Ever since Darcy became the family head in the South River State, Agnes was treated like royalty everywhere she went. She was addicted to the privileges. Agnes never wanted to go back to those days when people would look down on her.“Darcy, where’s the gift you got for Madam Quint? Hurry up and apologize to her.” Agnes grabbed Darcy hastily. A

    “You should know that Madam Quint loves flowers, and you came empty-handed. No flowers, no gifts.” “You talk about respect for Madam Quint. It’s all talk. What have you done for her?” “You are hicks from a small place like Lilyrose. Where are your manners? You’re lucky to become the head of the South River Quints, but you will always lack refinement.” “I’m starting to worry about this leader taking us to new heights. I guess we can consider ourselves lucky if she doesn’t bring us down.” “Yeah! She was late and came empty-handed. This tells us all we need to know about this family.” Taking Joan’s lead, the other family members lay into Darcy’s family thick and hard. “That’s enough!” Before Kaze said anything, Sky had a go at these people. “You tried to set my sister up, and now you’re putting the blame on us!“Only you had information of Madam Quint’s flight. You only let us know half an hour before the plane touched down. “Why didn’t we come earlier to wait in the airp

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3120 Phoenix Quint

    Kaze narrowed his eyes at the woman and drew close. “You’re a member of the South River Quints. Should you stand by your leader instead of stirring the pot and causing the scene? “Does family even mean anything to you? “Are you defying the family? “Who are you to disrespect Madam Quint and the family?” The woman staggered back with each question, her face draining of color.“I… You…” Flustered, she glared at Kaze. Still, she was at a loss in the face of Kaze’s questioning. “I assure you, Madam Quint. My daughter, Joan, doesn’t mean any disrespect.” A grizzled-haired middle-aged man with glasses came forward with an ashen face. “She was just trying to defend your honor, Madam Quint. She’s upset because someone disrespected you and arrived late.” This person was manipulative. While sticking up for his daughter, he also took the opportunity to belittle Darcy. “Doesn’t mean any disrespect?” Kaze snapped back, “Madam Quint hasn’t said a thing, but a nobody came out

    It appeared Kaze and Darcy were not the only ones who got their hands on the special pass straight to the hangar. Five groups stood in close proximity, yet a clear divide was evident between them.Interestingly, that was as many branches as the Quints had in Ridgesouth.The smallest cluster belonged to Hector, Agnes, and Sky. They kept their heads down, hiding their distress. It looked like they were insulted. As Darcy and Kaze got out of the car, all eyes turned to them, and many sneered. “Can you even drive, Kaze? Look at the time! Are you expecting Madam Quint to wait for you? You have the nerve to show your face when you’re already late!” Agnes tore into Kaze. She threw Kaze under the bus in hopes of deflecting Phoenix’s anger from Darcy. Having seen through Agnes, Kaze did not make a fuss and explained, “Sorry, when we received word, Madam Quint’s plane was touching down in half an hour. “What? Are you blaming us for informing you late?” A tall and pretty woman

    With Sasha putting the blame on herself, Kaze shook his head. He was not pointing fingers. “You can accept the pay from Herbal Spring.” Kaze said, “You’re not living at Herbal Spring for free. Your aunt is paying for you. Once you get into college, you can make more money to repay her.”“Really?” Sasha was skeptical. Besides boarding and lodging at Herbal Spring, Sasha was also taking medicine for her health. After working there for a while, Sasha had a general idea of things. Sasha’s medicine was expensive, and the medical bill was beyond the budget of most families. Kaze said, “You can ask Darcy if you don’t believe me. Your aunt even asked me if she had paid enough money when I was heading out this morning.” Despite knowing it was a lie, Darcy nodded. “Sasha, Kaze is right. Don’t feel burdened.” Sasha was naïve and gullible. Darcy’s statement gave Sasha the push. Since Kaze and Darcy were rich, Sasha assumed that her aunt must earn a lot. Her aunt could afford

    Everett understood that Kaze would make a big deal out of the Golden Road at tomorrow’s auction. Of course, it was none of Everett’s business. He had no qualms about turning his back on Aiden. As one of the four underworld kingpins, Everett would give the Krads their due respect, but he did not owe Aiden anything. Aiden was an individual. He did not represent the Krads as a whole. “So that’s decided.” Kaze then said, “That reminds me. Have your people pick out a nice bracelet. I’m looking at the five-hundred-thousand-dollar range.”“Oh, consider it a gift from me. Just inform Marilyn.” Everett was quick to offer a gift. Kaze did not appreciate the gesture though. Everett was a cunning man. His generosity may seem like an olive branch. However, Kaze knew that given the chance, Everett would make him pay. Everett would never have the chance though. Kaze would fight back, and the consequences could be fatal. “Mr. Lee, Ms. Quint, are you happy with this bracelet

    “I reckon that the stone might be important to someone within the Krads.“Aiden volunteered to take care of the business in Riverbank and go up against your wife. He’s not just here to suck up to his chief commander brother but to prove to the Krads that he’s better than the rest of the competition.“If he can gain that somebody’s favor, this can be bigger than his achievements in business.” Everett adopted the requirement analysis. Though Everett had no idea why the Golden Toad was important to the Krads, he understood Aiden’s needs. By grasping an individual’s core requirement, he was able to deduce something that was closer to the truth. “Has Aiden lost his head?” Kaze uttered in confusion, “He could’ve just gotten the thing from you at a better rate. Why is he getting to buy it from an auction?” Everett mentioned that the Golden Toad was worth tens of millions of dollars, but no more than a hundred million dollars. Aiden could have made a private deal with Everett.
