“You don’t know when to shut up, Kaze,” Agnes stamped her foot and yelled furiously. Kaze would be the death of her. It was bad enough that Hellen’s family showed off their newly bought half-a-million dollar Mercedes Benz and mocked the Quints for their three-hundred-grand Audi A4. Kaze came out of nowhere and explained the Audi A4 was totaled—as if things were not bad enough already. Agnes was tempted to smack the dummy’s head. “Oh, my. The Quints’ only car is wrecked.” Hellen laughed in delight. “I guess it must be inconvenient for you since you can’t go anywhere without a car, Agnes. Tsk, tsk. Poor you.” Agnes scowled without a word. Hellen was right, and Agnes could not refute the fact. The last million in the family was used to pay Larry’s gambling debt, so the Quints had no funds available to get a new car. “What makes you think that we don’t have a car?” Kaze said, “We would need to get a new car since the last one was written off.” “Oh, any cars in parti
“Who did this? Why did they park inconsiderately and block us in? They must think they are all that to drive a sports car,” Yenny whined loudly. The passersby glanced at the cars and gave her a bewildered look before going on their way. Sam came over for a look and was dumbfounded by his wife’s idiocy. “Stop yelling there. You didn’t park within the lines. I was going to park the car, but you insisted you could do it.” He stopped Yenny. Sam got out of the car and went to get cigarettes, not realizing that his wife was bad at parking. “How could you blame me, Sam? They blocked me in.” Yenny took after her mother’s behavior. Livid, she pinched her husband. “Enough!” Sam shouted, “I said you didn’t park in the box. The cars next to you stayed in their lines. Even if you call the owners here, we’re still in the wrong.” He was speechless. His idiot wife parked across three parking spots, blocking cars on both sides from getting out. They could not get in through the
Kaze thought Agnes did not carry enough money for a consultation at the hospital. Now, he realized that the 20 thousand dollars was for Larry. “I have the twenty thousand as you requested.” Agnes entered the ward and asked with concern, “Are you alright, Larry?” Larry spread his legs like a boss. He scoffed and gave Agnes an attitude. “Is he alright? Does Larry look alright to you?” Naomi shot an angry look at Kaze. “Your useless son-in-law should’ve brought Larry back sooner. He would’ve been battered and bruised.” Kaze saved Larry last night but Naomi was not the least bit grateful. She even complained that Kaze could do better. Agnes remained without a word. Kaze was not going to hold his tongue, though. He replied curtly, “He got off lightly with a beating. He had it coming for gambling. If it wasn’t for me last night, he wouldn't have been beaten to death.” “What are you saying? The nerve of you to say that about my son!” Lance pounded his fist on the bedsi
Last night at the casino, Kaze slapped Larry. Larry could not let go of the grudge. When he was reunited with Lance and Naomi, he could not stop complaining about Kaze’s arrogance and rudeness.Larry proposed that Kaze be his caregiver to insult him. Gritting his teeth, Larry said smugly, “Weren’t you acting like you were all that in front of my parents, Kaze? You can take care of my needs for the next two weeks. You have to do what I tell you.” “Dream on,” Kaze said coldly. He was tempted to whip the boy to shape.“Why don’t you stay here and take care of Larry, Kaze?” Agnes asked, her tone not as commanding as before. She felt bad. However, she had no other choice. It was either Kaze or her. “Hear that, Kaze? Are you going to go against your mother-in-law’s wishes?” Larry smirked. He knew that Kaze was too proud to agree to the job. Nevertheless, Larry knew Kaze had a weak spot for his family. Luckily for the Laimes, they had Agnes in the palm of their han
Benedict received a text message from Hellen, who was blocked in at the parking lot. Hearing that Agnes was at the medical center, Benedict rushed to the scene from his office. “You talk like you’re in the right.” Benedict scoffed and added with a smirk, “A young female patient lost her life because of your medical error five years ago. The center’s reputation was tarnished because of you. You are a disgrace to us all. You should never set foot in this place again. “Let’s hear what the public thinks about this. Do you think I am right?” He turned to the onlookers outside the ward. The crowd learned from Benedict that Agnes was once a doctor at the medical center with her medical license suspended. “You’re right, Deputy Director Soup. The medical center was right to fire her for not adhering to medical practices.” “She has no shame to come back after killing a patient.” “She’s bad at her job. I bet she’s the type to take bribes and give empty promises.” The public was
Benedict sneered at Kaze.Agnes’ son-in-law was clearly trying to make a living as a caregiver at the medical center. Benedict made it his mission to stop Kaze from making any money. Kaze narrowed his gaze and said solemnly, “I can leave when I want to. Who are you to tell me to get lost?” When Larry insisted that he should stay to serve him, Kaze did not want to be at the medical center. Now, Benedict told him to beat it. Well, Kaze did not want to leave now. “Hmph! I’m the deputy director of the medical center.” Benedict said arrogantly, “The center’s logistics and security are part of my job. You have a history of a mental illness, but you want to serve patients. What if you have an episode and harm the patients or hospital staff?” “What? He’s mentally ill?” The public inside and outside the ward stepped back, keeping their distance from Kaze. Benedict nodded. “That’s right. You might not know who he is, so I’ll let you know. He’s the dimwit who married into the
Hades had gotten the message from Hunter. Kaze somehow lucked out and saved the daughter of the Butterworth’s Queens. Now that Kaze rubbed shoulders with the esteemed family, Hades could forget getting back at Kaze for trashing his casino. If that was not enough, Hades had to submit to him too. His uncle, Cronus’ main source of income came from the Queens. With that in mind, Hades shoved aside an on-looking family member of a patient. “Get out of the way.” The family member was a middle-aged man in a suit. He must be a business owner. The man pulled Hades’ hand away in disgruntlement. “Who are you? Why should I leave because you tell me to—” Smack! Hades slapped the middle-aged man before he could finish his sentence. Grabbing him by the collar, Hades shouted menacingly, “Can you get lost now?” The middle-aged man was a cowardly bully. He had no qualms about taunting Kaze despite not knowing him at all. Now that Hades smacked some sense into him, the middle-aged m
Hades’ words trailed off. It was because Kaze suddenly gave him a grim look. After stopping Hades from talking, Kaze turned to Agnes and said, “I didn’t upset Hades, Agnes. He’s here for Larry. I guess the gambling addict still owes Hades, so he wants Larry to do manual labor like cleaning up pee and poo to pay him back.” Kaze glanced at Hades. “Am I right, Hades?” He did not want Agnes to know that he called Hades to sort Larry out. Kaze could not have a fallout with the Laimes until Agnes could get over the incident. Otherwise, Agnes might hate him for it. “That’s right. I’m here for Larry.” Hades nodded but was puzzled as to why Kaze wanted to keep the phone call a secret.Still, he knew how to read the room. He got Kaze’s message right away. Hades picked up cues from Kaze through his explanation to Agnes. Larry was in a daze when Hades approached him with a menacing smile. “Fancy finding you here, Larry.” “H-Hades, I’m injured. Of course, I would be here.”
