Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1723 Elites
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

Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3408 Caught Off Guard
It took a lot of effort for Agnes to break her daughter up with Kaze. There was no way she would allow Kaze to have a second shot with Darcy. The way Agnes saw it, her daughter was the head of the Quints in the South River State and the chairwoman of Sky Ocean Corporation. Darcy was beautiful and a great catch. Kaze did not mean squat. While Agnes danced with joy, several vehicles turned up outside the villa. These cars belonged to two different parties. The first group was in fancy cars while the other group was much more discreet. Still, nobody would dismiss government vehicles. Though surprised, Darcy quickly went up to greet the people. “Chief Yaphet, Mr. Jayne, what brings you here?” The alphas of both groups were not some big VIP to Darcy’s family. However, they had control over Sky Ocean Corporation’s future. More accurately, the entities that these people worked for held the fate of Sky Ocean Corporation in their hands. Welson, a middle-ranking official in the
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3407 Sick Joke
“No way! Madam Quint had no reason to kill Madam Dark.” There was a bustle at Villa No. 1. Despite the statement coming from the police, the crowd was skeptical that Phoenix would kill anyone. Agnes and Darcy found the truth hard to swallow. If Phoenix were behind the evil assassination, they would be wrong about Kaze. The police officer said, “We learned that the dump truck driver received 1.2 million dollars before the accident. We tracked the money to one of Phoenix’s people in Ridgesouth. “We looked into Phoenix’s phone records and discovered that she contacted the Steelclaw Guild through the dark web. “She had no idea that we have eyes on the dark web. Though we don’t know the specifics of her deal with the Steelclaw Guild, she would only have one reason to contact an assassination organization.“The Steelclaw Guild’s killer then showed up at the funeral parlor.“We are linking these two incidents, and our prime suspect is Phoenix, who is now deceased.“We didn’t de
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3406 Divorce
“Kaze, do you know how unfamiliar and frightened you’re making me feel right now?“Why was the Steelclaw Guild’s killer after you? If today didn’t happen, I wouldn’t know that you had gotten yourself in deep trouble. “I don’t know what else you are hiding from me. I even wonder if you were behind Madam Dark’s car accident. “My feelings toward you have been true, but family is equally important to me. “I’m afraid that one day, you will get my parents and brother killed.” Darcy let everything out. The storm in Kaze’s eyes quelled.He grabbed a pen and signed his name before taking his copy. Kaze placed the other copy on the table before walking away. As the people in the villa watched on in shock, Agnes dropped her jaw in joy. Agnes thought that it would take a lot of talking and crying to push Darcy in the right direction. To her surprise, Darcy filed for divorce right away. Nevertheless, she was quick to complain. “You are silly, Darcy. You should have asked for V
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3405 Escalated Argument
“Oh, don’t give me that!” Agnes said without a care, “All I know is that you stood by and got Madam Quint killed. “Why can’t you think before you act, Kaze? What are you going to do when the Quints hold you responsible?“Do you think this is the end of the matter? With Madam Quint dead, the Quints would demand answers.“Here you are, saying that you weren’t trying to get us killed. “You should set my daughter free now! I demand a divorce.” Agnes clamored. “I can’t sleep well at night, thinking I have to spend another day with a snake. “The ball is in your court, Darcy. Either he stays, or I go.” Agnes was determined to force her daughter into dumping Kaze’s sorry ass. Kaze turned to Darcy. “Let’s move out, babe. We can buy another house to live in.” He looked weary for once. Kaze felt drained. There was never a moment of peace whenever he was at home. Agnes would push Darcy into getting a divorce every time Kaze showed his face. Kaze had tried addressing the iss
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3404 Deliberate
Kaze said indifferently, “I don’t want to talk to you about this. Just carry on living in their own world.” “What? You have nothing to say for yourself, so you shut up?” Agnes was on full steam ahead. “Why didn’t you kneel when we were on our knees? Don’t you care whether we die?“Are you wishing we were dead?” Despite the grilling, Kaze remained indifferent. Agnes took things far and pressed on. “Were you trying to egg the killer into killing Madam Quint and Joan?“You were afraid of Madam Quint’s retaliation once the word about Madam Dark and Shadow’s accident got out, so you wanted to silence her.” Sky could not stand by anymore. “That’s extreme, Mom. K-Kaze—” “Was what?” Agnes glared at him. “The killer broke Madam Quint’s fingers, fractured her leg, and killed her and Joan. It’s clear that she was triggered by Kaze. “Once or twice might be a coincidence, but we’re talking about this happening multiple times. Isn’t it a deliberate act?” Agnes was witty to make
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3403 The Quints’ Efficiency
It had only been an hour since Phoenix met her demise. Yet the Ridgesouth Quints had already come to a decision. Even Kaze had to admit that the Ridgesouth Quints were highly efficient. The Quints’ approach was simple but highly effective. With Phoenix dead, the Quint family members in the South River State were without a leader. As the situation remained unclear and loomed with potential threats, it was best to put Darcy in charge of picking up the pieces. One thing stood out when the Quints handled business. It showed the Quints prioritized their own interest above all else. The Quints were not in a rush to investigate Phoenix’s death, avenge her, or question Hector’s family. Their aim was to cut their losses and reassure the family. The Ridgesouth Quints did not even mention Phoenix’s funeral. Different from Hector’s family’s joy, the other family members were horrified. “I’m sorry to upset you before, Darcy. Please forgive us.” “We were wrong. We are terribly so
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3402 Not About the Favors
“The head honcho made a wise choice.” South talked as if the plan benefited them all. The Steelclaw Guild did not consider the risk of sending Anzu after Kaze and his loved ones. Kaze survived the assassination and proved to the Steelclaw Guild that he was worth the risk. However, what if he had died? The Steelclaw Guild would let Phoenix know that she owed them one. Either way, the Steelclaw Guild would not be losing out on anything. The Steelclaw Guild had a collaboration with Kaze, but they were not in on it together. Kaze shook his head. The Steelclaw Guild was an assassination organization for a reason. They only worked for themselves and were not worth Kaze’s trust. He said curtly, “Tell your head honcho that I don’t owe your people anything anymore. “But you owe me one.” No one else but Kaze would demand something from the Steelclaw Guild. Anyone else in Kaze’s place would swallow the bitter pill and move on. Not Kaze, though. He was not scared of the
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3401 All’s Well That Ends Well
With Anzu dead, Kaze got rid of one major problem. Since the police would tie up loose ends at the funeral parlor, Kaze and Darcy’s family were free to leave under the escort of police officers. Other Quint family members in the South River State departed alongside Kaze and Darcy’s family. These people feared for their lives. It dawned on them that they were safe with Darcy’s family, especially since the police were determined to keep Darcy’s family safe and sound before. They followed Darcy’s family, not leaving them out of their sight. Dozens of members swarmed into Villa No. 1, leaving the residence rather cramped. “It’s such a waste of space for a small family to live in a big, luxurious place.” “I guess there are perks to kissing up to the mayor.” The Quint family members, making themselves too at home, occupied the space and made snide remarks. Darcy did not possess power or influence after losing Sky Ocean Corporation. They did not care what Darcy’s family t
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3400 Anzu Dead
Like Joan, Phoenix never would have imagined that she would die in such a humiliating way. Kaze did not even move his hands. He simply said a few words and Anzu killed her. Phoenix died with her eyes wide open, but the light quickly faded. The last image reflected upon her eyes was Kaze grinning brightly with his teeth gleaming under the light. “Bastard…” That was Phoenix’s last word. In just the blink of an eye, the respected elder of the Quint family had turned into a lifeless corpse. Every other family member at the scene gasped in shock. “Die, Kaze Lee!” Anzu’s killing spree did not stop with just two deaths. She shouted at Kaze but she dashed toward Darcy. Swoosh! Kaze had anticipated this. With a swift movement, he shifted sideways to position himself in front of Anzu, blocking her. Anzu swung her arms forward, launching multiple poisoned shurikens at him. Darcy was right behind him, so Kaze dared not dodge the shurikens. It was either him or Darcy. Howe
