The heads of the top families laughed for a while, sensing a bright future awaiting them. Just then, Edward beckoned at his youngest son, Ethan. “You will assume the role of Chairman at Bersina Group, Ethan. We have lost Maurice and Toffle, those losers. It’s time Bersina takes back the Everia family.” Ethan was delighted. His older brother, Eliot, had always outshone him. With Eliot in a coma, the family leadership should now fall on Ethan.Edward made Ethan the chairman of Bersina Group to see if he was up to the task. “Don’t worry, Dad. I will manage Bersina well.” Ethan left Jade Estate with his sidekick in tow. He returned with a heavy heart in less than an hour. “Holy shit, Dad. Someone beat me to it and took Bersina Group right out of my hands.” Ethan made a crying face, looking nothing like the swank he had before leaving the house. Edward was enraged. “Who did it? Everybody knows Maurice and Toffle only managed Bersina for the Everias.” Belarus and Fli
Kaze got confirmation from Maurice that the three major families were involved in James’ death two years ago. Having built a successful business from scratch, James aspired to return home and revitalize his hometown.James brought cutting-edge technology from the southern coast to Lilyrose, eager to seek collaboration with the three top families. His kind gesture invited him trouble instead. The three families killed him and divided Shangrila Group among themselves. Five years ago, they and the Lee family of Sunrise City did the same thing to Quintessential. The rise of the three major families was a cruel story involving blood and tears.They seized Quintessential, elevating themselves to the ranks of top-tier families.In addition, they acquired shares of Shangrila Group, firmly establishing their dominance in Lilyrose.The feud simply piled on. Kaze had never been so sure about overthrowing the three major families. That was not the only thing on his list. As pu
Dean Anstar, the HR director, who was the first to resign. Behind him were former executives and employees who resigned with him. They learned that Quintessential Group had overcome the crisis and got more than two billion worth of investment from different major companies. They regretted leaving the company. The Group would surely rise to prominence and expand rapidly. The employees of the company would also enjoy all kinds of benefits, so when they heard the company was hiring again, they came back. Unfortunately, there were too many candidates. The normal employees got anxious. They were afraid their original positions would be taken, so they teamed up with Dean and the other executives to force other candidates to leave. Dean was smart as well. As a traitor, he knew his odds of returning to Quintessential were slim, but if he could get several former employees on his side, then he would have the leverage to negotiate with Darcy. Therefore, he revealed his former i
The candidates stopped and turned around to Darcy. “Darcy Quint? I heard she was accused by her friend and now cleared her name.” “I heard the banks targeted her and withheld the loans to take revenge on her. She’s forced to a dead end and still able to save the company. She’s really a capable leader. Let’s hear what she has to say.” Even though they were still upset, they were willing to give a chance to Darcy for her reputation. “Thank you. I will provide everyone with a satisfactory explanation.” After she held the new applicants back, she turned to Dean and the others. She bellowed, “Dean, you left the company in the face of a crisis and we compensated you for everything. We owed you nothing and now you came to ruin our hiring process? What are you trying to do?” The new applicants finally knew what happened. Dean and the former employees were no longer part of Quintessential Group and they were here to cause problems. How shameless! How disgusting! Dean and the
The Quint family came because they knew the company just got two billion worth of investment. They cut ties with the company when it faced bankruptcy and even made Darcy the CEO to take responsibility for everything. Now that the company had come back to life and got a huge injection of funds, the Quint family regretted it; especially Rudy and his children. They were afraid that Darcy would root herself in the position of CEO, so they brought Master Quint along. They got even more anxious and upset after Dean informed them of the company's politics. “Master Quint, stop Darcy! She’s trying to seize all the power for herself and make the company her own kingdom!” All of them looked at Master Quint, hoping that he would relieve Darcy of her duties. “How shameless are you people to accuse me like that? I did everything for the sake of the Quintessential!” Darcy was upset by their shamelessness. When the company faced a crisis, they abandoned the ship and saved only their sk
Master Quint’s expression turned bitter when he heard the employees’ chant. He looked at his family. If Rudy was not accepted, then he would change to someone else. However, before he could say a word, Kaze spoke on his behalf, saying, “If not Rudy, then how about Samus?” “No!” the employees chanted angrily. “Deborah?” “No!” “Hensen?” This would be Darcy’s uncle. “No!” “No!” “No!” Kaze mentioned every single name of the Quint family and the only answer he got was a big fat “no”.Each loud cry of the name was a slap to the person’s face. “Master Quint, you’ve heard the people.” Kaze glared at everyone and scoffed, “All of you abandoned the company at dire times, so the company will also abandon you when it’s doing great!” Samus, Deborah, and the others were embarrassed. They resented Kaze for humiliating them, but Kaze could not care less about their feelings. His expression turned grim before he bellowed, “My wife, Darcy, is the CEO of Quintessential Gr
Dean and the others were stunned. Like Randal Song and his men at the construction site, they were all Rudy’s right-hand men. Since Rudy was incapable and could not control them, they embezzled a lot of money from the company. “Ms. Quint! We’re sorry! We’re wrong! We are the pioneers of the company, we contributed to the company so much! Don’t arrest us!” Dean and the other former executives grabbed the officers’ legs and begged Darcy for mercy, hoping that she would spare them. “It’s too late now.” Kaze waved and told the Economic Investigation Division to take them away. After the lot of them were arrested, other ex-employees scattered and left the building immediately. Some of them looked horrified. They must have done some shady things themselves as well. However, Kaze did not plan to go after them as there were too many, and besides, not all of them had committed serious crimes that could be charged. It would be more than enough to make an example out of Dean and
“Kaze, are you done?” Darcy looked at Kaze, blushing. Kaze had been hugging her for a while and his hands were getting naughty. “I’m never done with you, hehe…” Kaze finally let go of her after taking in her scent. He released her with a heavy heart, well aware that he should not cross the line. The intimate contact today was a good start to their romantic relationship. Darcy then returned to her desk to resume work. She would call some of the newly promoted chiefs or leaders into the office for discussions. Now that she had become the CEO of Quintessential Group, she was responsible for everything in the company and would only be busier than before. Though she enjoyed being occupied; being able to concentrate at work and having no one to drag her down felt great. Kaze did not disturb her. He went to the other room with his phone and waited for her to finish work. “I’m done. Let’s go home.” Sometime later, the door opened and Darcy popped her head inside. Kaze t
