It was normal to encounter problems while doing business. Since Darcy had her own plans to deal with it, then Kaze did not want to interfere. “Sure, you go rest. I’ll go with you tonight.” Kaze pushed her to the bedroom and urged her to rest. “You should get a better outfit for tonight. It’s a formal banquet,” Darcy said before entering the room. “Got it.” …Evening. Hilton Hotel. Blossoms Corporation’s banquet was held in the banquet hall. As a major multinational company, Blossoms Corporation was closely connected to the investors behind Hilton Hotel. The banquet was not a big one and the number of guests was limited. Not even the Vikrom, Logman, and Joestar families were invited despite their growing influence in the upper social circle. Blossoms Corporation only invited people who they deemed worthy. The guests who were invited saw the invitation as a recognition of their capabilities. At the hotel’s entrance was a group of young men and women, dressed form
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1724 Conflict
Everyone turned around and saw a bald middle-aged man strolling over with a stern look. It was Phil, the second-in-command of the State Culture and Tourism Administration. He heard that Darcy had arrived, so he came to look for her. The banquet served alcohol and there would be a social dance session halfway through. Phil wanted to look good by dancing with Darcy. With Darcy’s husband at the scene, it would only be more difficult for him to achieve his perverted goals. “Ms. Quint, why did you bring your live-in husband here? Are you trying to disrespect me?” Phil asked coldly. When the elites heard that Kaze was a live-in husband, their expressions shifted. The few men who tried to ask for Darcy’s number showed brazen disdain and contempt on their faces. A live-in husband. In other words, a useless guy who lived off his wife. They felt sorry for Darcy. The jealousy they had for Kaze instantly turned into a sense of superiority. The women lost interest in Kaze as w
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1725 Compared to the Mayor?
“Yeah. I wonder what fueled the live-in husband’s confidence. What made him think he has the authority to oppose Mr. Lobo?” “Not only did he live off his wife, but he’s also as blind as a mule. I wonder what Ms. Quint sees in him. I wouldn’t even want him to wash my feet!” The men and women mocked and sneered at Kaze. One side was the second-in-command of the State Culture and Tourism Administration, powerful and influential; one side was the live-in husband who lived off his wife, lame and stupid. Even an idiot knew who to side with. Moreover, the young men and women represented their respective multinational companies and were sent to expand their businesses in Lilyrose. Of course, they would want to make Phil’s acquaintance, someone with real authority. They believed it would be smarter to mock Kaze in front of Phil to earn the man’s attention. All of them showed no mercy in mocking Kaze, their words grew vicious as they continued. “Ms. Quint, you should tell your hu
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1726 He Wants to See You
“Kaze!” Before Kaze could finish, Darcy stopped him with a fierce rebuke. She nudged Kaze and signaled him to stay quiet. Darcy then took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Lobo, maybe I understood it wrongly. I thought Blossoms Corporation’s banquet was going to be formal, so I brought my husband along to show respect. I see others have their plus-one as well. “If I misunderstood your meaning, then please forgive me. It is my carelessness that caused this unhappy meeting, so please excuse me. We will be leaving.” Darcy would never agree to just send Kaze away. Compared to her career, she cared more about her husband’s feelings. However, she did not want to risk a fallout with Phil either. She arranged her words to sound peaceful, somewhat flattering so that the meeting would not end on a bad note. She claimed that bringing Kaze along was simply out of respect for Blossoms Corporation. If Phil insisted on asking Kaze to leave, then he would be indirectly saying that Blossom
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1727 Leave Everything Behind
Both Kaze and Darcy turned a deaf ear at the mockery. Kaze did not even care about the so-called elites. If not because of Darcy, these noisy flies would not even get the chance to be in his presence. Soon, the group arrived at the banquet hall. The hall was decorated in classical Paladia style, a style similar to the old Victorian style. A huge crowd was already inside. Most of them were representatives from different companies and organizations, only a few from Lilyrose. Although less than a handful of people came over to greet Kaze and Darcy, Darcy's entrance turned heads. Her beauty and physique were top-notch in addition to her position as chairwoman of Sky Ocean Corporation. Most of the guests were not locals and they had a natural sense of superiority over a small city like Lilyrose. Yet none of them felt that in front of such a beautiful and amazing woman. In short, Darcy became the center of attention upon arrival. “Ms. Quint, nice to meet you!” “Ms. Quin

“What?!” The crowd grew tumultuous when they saw what Kenneth did. He gave Kaze a million to divorce Darcy! It was not just about the money or the divorce. Kenneth’s action was a blatant insult in Kaze’s face in front of everyone. Those who attended the banquet tonight were either important politicians or business elites. People with a net worth of less than a billion would not even dare to show up. A million was nothing to people like them. Only someone as useless as the live-in husband would see a million as a huge amount of money. No one spoke. All of them looked at Kaze and Darcy with utmost interest. Many of them gloated at Kaze. Darcy’s expression turned grim. Her eyes were burning with rage as she bellowed, “Mr. Knull, please do not stick your nose into our private matters!” She held Kaze’s arm and wanted to take him away, yet Kenneth did not plan to spare them just yet. He stepped up and stopped them from leaving. He looked at Kaze and said, “I see. Yo
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1729 Sow Discord
The slap turned Kenneth’s face to the side. The force threw him off balance, causing him to fall toward the long table with food and beverages. He managed to hold against the edge of the table to prevent himself from falling to the floor. The entire hall was silenced. All the guests widened their eyes in disbelief and stared at Kaze. No one expected Kaze to choose violence in such a prestigious place. The slap was strong and harsh, he did not hold back at all. Was he still the live-in husband that everyone looked down upon? Was this an action that a coward who took a million to divorce his wife could do? Everyone was stunned. No one understood what changed Kaze all of a sudden. “Kaze…” Darcy was also stunned. She did not expect the unannounced slap at all. Kaze smiled brightly at Darcy and said, “It’s okay. It’s just a slap, I didn’t kill him.” Kenneth covered his face, got up on his feet, and overheard Kaze. He was fuming. As a guest invited to the banquet
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1730 Take It
Even if Kaze really wanted to divorce Darcy, given Darcy’s net worth of a few hundred million, he would receive half of her assets as alimony. Only a fool without a functioning mind would believe a million was enough to make Kaze divorce Darcy and take nothing away. Was Kenneth a brainless idiot? Obviously not. In fact, not one person in this prestigious venue was a fool. If he was not a fool, then he must harbor ill intentions. It was obvious that Kenneth picked on Kaze with a hidden agenda. Since the man had never met him or Darcy before, which gave him no reason to start the conflict in the first place, it was not difficult to figure out that someone was behind this. Kaze stepped on Kenneth’s chest and stared into the man’s eyes. “I don’t care who asked you to do it or what it is for, tell him to show himself and don’t hide in the shadows like a cowardly rat. Don’t be a pussy. If he wants to come at me, just bring it on. I’ll take it.” Cough! Kenneth stared at Kaze

Aiden broke out in a cold sweat when he remembered losing Crown Tower at the auction. He said solemnly, “I’m sorry, Ms. Hara. The fault lies in me.”“I love a strong and powerful man who can handle me, Mr. Krad. I don’t need a rash man who can’t think straight.” Reiko grabbed a towel and wiped every inch of Aiden’s body. Her fingers coasted along Aiden’s Adam’s apple, and she said indifferently, “You better ask us before you make the next move. Otherwise, you might lose the chance to work with us again.” Aiden gritted his teeth and said nothing. Dropping the attitude, Aiden was as meek as a kitten in front of Reiko.He was usually the one getting handsy with Reiko. By the time Reiko withdrew her arm, Aiden’s expression had hardened. He read between the lines. Reiko talked about dropping him, not the Krads. In other words, Reiko could go to another member of the Krads to collaborate. Aiden’s competition was within his family. He aimed to be the top of his family.
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3205 Fall Short
Aiden’s words trailed off. The Ryokanians were never out to get Kaze. They were trying to bring Kent down through Kaze. The only conflict between Kaze and the Ryokanians was business rivalry, and there was no reason to escalate negotiable deals to a personal level. Kent was a different story. He was the mayor of Riverbank. He passed the bills for policies. One policy could decide the fate of a business. Kent’s policies could eliminate the Ryokanian presence in Riverbank. Kent must die. The Ryokanians could get Kaze out of the picture. If necessary, they could call it a truce with him too. That was what the Ryokanians thought. There was a fundamental difference between the Ryokanians’ attitude toward Kaze and Kent. The only thing on Aiden’s mind was to get rid of Kaze. Aiden simply took hits at Kent because the latter was Kaze’s supporter. He and the Ryokanians were after different things. Due to the lack of transparency in their communication, the plan had gon
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3204 Reiko’s Hostility
Aiden chuckled in delight and grabbed Reiko’s hand to pull her close. He sniffed her hand and said with a manic laugh, “Don’t worry, Ms. Hara. I will get you Crown Tower before killing him. “Hahaha! He’s just a loser. What does he have to compete with me?” Aiden gripped Reiko’s hand and threw his head back to guffaw. “Splash!” Reiko raised her hand and poured her drink on Aiden. Aiden choked on the drink, interrupting his laughter.“Cough, cough.” It took Aiden a while to get over it. He shot an angry look at Reiko and shouted, “Have you lost it, Reiko?” Aiden was surprised to see Reiko looking rather aloof. Reiko had always clung to him, catering to all his needs since they met. She made him feel like a king. Yet now, Reiko caught him off guard by turning on him. Aiden had no idea what was going on. “You have some explaining to do, bitch,” Aiden grabbed a towel to wipe his face while uttering furiously. Unfazed by Aiden’s temper, Reiko said with a blank face,
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3203 Aiden’s Delight
“Despite your training, you were defenseless at the hands of Kaze. It appears the disowned member of the Lees is more powerful than we thought.” A woman’s voice, bearing a heavy Ryokanian accent, boomed. Reiko, dressed in a black and gold dress, brewed tea on her knees. Her delicate hands moved with grace and allure. There was a temptation to hold her hands forever. Aiden’s gaze turned cold. Shifting his eyes from Darcy and Snow, Aiden looked at Kaze’s photo in the center of the board. Embracing his urge to kill, Aiden threw his sword. “Swoosh!” The sword sank into Kaze’s face, piercing through the board. Aiden took a seat across from Reiko and smiled ruthlessly at her. “Well, he can’t fight weapons with bare hands. I can assure you that Kaze will not get away this time. “I want him to give up Crown Tower. Once I squeeze every little thing out of him, he can die.” “Oh?” Reiko poured a drink and passed it to Aiden. She said with a smile, “We can do our best, bu
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3202 Come What May
“Don’t feel discouraged. Just pursue in the direction I’ve told you. I can guarantee that you’ll be fine,” Kaze said while patting Morgan’s shoulder. Wallace could not possibly restrain Morgan, the state police chief, from doing his job. Surely, Morgan had people he could trust. Kaze gave Morgan the go-ahead to investigate and to direct any needs to Snow. Despite the presence of the police force and Wallace’s eyes on site, Kaze had no qualms about letting his intentions known. It was baffling that Kaze acted like he was Morgan’s superior. The police looked at Kaze in reverence. Kaze challenged the deputy governor’s authority and talked down to the state police chief in public. There was something mysterious about Kaze. Now, they knew that the case was more than just a murder. It was part of a larger power struggle. They were just insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The state police force dropped the arrogance while questioning Kaze. They would only be c
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3201 Overstep
The Frosts were prominent in the South River State. Wallace was a man of power and wealth. Plus, he was an established deputy governor. He did not have to give a damn about anybody else. He could care less about Kaze. No one could change Wallace’s mind, not even if Kent were there. With that in mind, Wallace walked past Morgan and said curtly to the police force, “I expect you to be on this case.“You will report to me on every little progress. “I’m not asking for much. I expect you to respect the law, deliver justice, protect the good…” Wallace glanced at Kaze and stressed. “And punish the bad.” He carried himself with aggression and authority. Though nothing was said outright, Wallace basically stripped Morgan’s power and disregarded his opinion. Morgan grimaced hard. There was clearly no trust between them, and Wallace believed Morgan played favorites. Besides, Wallace ordered Morgan’s subordinates around, clearly bypassing his authority. Wallace’s behavior
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3200 All Useless
Wallace looked fierce and sounded firm. A live-in husband who got into his current position through nepotism, despite having made a name for himself and getting the support of the mayor of Riverbank, he was still involved in a murder and showed no remorse for what happened. Instead, he tried to go around the system to free himself. Wallace looked down on people like Kaze from the bottom of his heart. Kaze suddenly laughed after hearing the man, which fueled his agitation. He bellowed, “What are you laughing at?” “I am laughing at you for being a busybody, Deputy Governor Frost.” Under Wallace’s fierce gaze, Kaze chuckled and said, “Deputy Governor Frost, I don’t care what you think of me, but I have two things to say. “First, I am not a suspect and I have nothing to do with this case. Second, my relationship with Snow is also none of your business.” “Hey! Watch your mouth!” “Mind your choice of words, Kaze Lee!” “What gave you the right to talk to the deputy gover
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3199 Another Deputy Governor
Kaze looked at the entrance. The man was probably in his 50s, tall and upright, striding and exuding a sense of commanding presence. His expression looked stern, his eyes fierce, expressing his authority and superiority. Morgan was slightly surprised before he went over to the man. He bowed and said respectfully, “Mr. Frost! You’re here?” Upon hearing Morgan call the man, Kaze knew the man’s identity. Wallace Frost, like Mitchell, was one of the two deputy governors. Unlike Neegan and Michell, who were not locals and were simply transferred to their positions, Wallace had been serving South River State for many years and earned himself a high reputation. More importantly, as his name suggested, he was from the Frost family. However, his family was from a distant branch and had rooted themselves in Riverbank rather than Butterworth, though he was still in contact with the main family in Butterworth. In other words, if Snow was around, she would have to call the man unc
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3198 Take Him as a Dog
Donovan bit his lips, his expression clearly showed his internal struggles. Kaze did not waste time and referred to Morgan. “Chief Bale, based on the recording, I think it’s enough to relieve them of their duties.” “Of course. The wrong interrogation method is against our rules. They would not only be relieved of their duties but also be investigated. They had nothing against you but they took the risk to cross the line. I believe they must have received bribes from whoever is behind them. “Once the investigation is complete, it will be a criminal offense.” Thump! After the last word came out of Morgan’s lips, Donovan fell on his knees immediately. He spoke with a righteous voice earlier, accusing Kaze of committing an atrocious crime. Now, he became the one who would be punished and charged. “Mr. Lee, it’s Aiden! Aiden Krad! He gave us ten million and told us to make you call the mayor. He wanted to use his power to get you out of here…” Donovan then spilled everything
