Guardian-In-Law Chapter 257 A New Sports Car
“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
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 258 That Sounds Like Kaze
“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
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 259 Kaze to Provide Care
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
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 260 A Bad Guy to Handle a Bad Guy
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
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 261 Deputy Director Benedict Soup
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
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 262 Who Told Kaze to Leave?
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
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 263 I’m Here for Kaze
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
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 264 Stand Up Straight
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.”

Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3722 May’s Back
“I have pointed you in a direction. If you still can’t trust your team, you can go to the Viper’s Den.“There’s one thing, though. Don’t rely too heavily on the Viper’s Den, or your company will be left without secrets.” Kaze’s suggestion gave Snow assurance. She considered tapping into the Viper’s Den’s resources. However, Kaze warned her against excessive dependence. “Why did you say that, Chairman Lee? Will the Viper’s Den stab me in the back?” Surely, the Viper’s Den took orders from Kaze. The Viper’s Den would always be an ally so long as Kaze was the branch leader. “I just don’t want you to put too much faith in others. You find loyalty by developing your own team. Those who revere me will never trust you completely.” Kaze analyzed the situation. Snow ate her supper and looked at Kaze in confusion. “You can only count on the people you win over. You can’t trust anyone else, and that includes me.” Kaze would never hurt Snow. However, he hoped that she would fin
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3721 Time Heals
“As you said, all is in the past. What’s the point of dwelling on it?” Leah perked up. Such was life, but it took her too long to understand the harsh reality. She guessed things were just not meant to be. “I’ll think about what to get Kaze. Rest well. We’ll visit him in a few days.” Taking the matter seriously, Katie wanted to get gifts ready ahead of time to thank Kaze. “Alright. I’ll see what I can do too. I want to be in touch with the outside world. I don’t care what they have to say. This is not my fault. I won’t blame myself.” Leah wanted her phone back to contact her former friends. Ultimately, she needed to move forward instead of backward. She had to face and fight back the rumors with courage. It was the crucial step to kick trauma in the face. The abduction was kept hush-hush for the most part, but Katie’s frantic search for her daughter at the cocktail party did not go unnoticed. Hearing about the incident, the influential people were keen to find out
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3720 Moment’s Gone
“When did Kaze start setting it all up? I get the feeling that everybody played into his hands right from the start, and he had controlled every step of the way.” Leah realized that Kaze was an amazing man. Nothing could go past his eyes. “I don’t know.” Katie feared someone like Kaze. She would not be caught dead near him. Even when grasping the situation, Katie dared not look into Kaze for fear she would be targeted. Katie was careful not to show her face around Kaze. For all she knew, Kaze might get back at her. “But he came to Butterworth alone. We met at the train station, and he helped me out of a bad situation.” Leah felt warm and cozy inside just remembering the events. They did not know each other then. Kaze was kind to help a stranger out. From then on, Kaze could do no wrong in Leah’s eyes. Leah befriended him and found him nice. Her interest in him grew. They also got along well. Her memories of Kaze were sweet. Anyone could hurt her in the world, but
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3719 Never Getting Out
Even though Katie was the CEO of the Northborn Group, many eyed her position. There were too many vying to replace her. Without dedicating herself to her work, Katie risked falling from grace. Katie had been too eager to find success to give her daughter the best life. Leah could not understand the pain Katie had to go through. “I understand it now. I explained the nature of my relationship with Kaze to you, but you just wouldn’t get it.” Leah stubbornly expressed herself in hopes her mother would understand. “I just couldn’t get it through my head that you have grown up. You make an easy target since you just graduated and have not stepped into the real world.” Katie would not always be there for Leah. Hence, Katie did her best to get rid of potential danger. Her overprotectiveness triggered Leah’s defiance. It was Katie’s fault for not realizing it sooner. “I’m not angry with you. I didn’t understand a mother’s good intentions, but I understand now. I will listen to
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3718 For Your Own Good
Leah’s face beamed, but her mother’s words threw her into a daze. In the end, she tried to squeeze a smile to assure her mother. However, Leah could not muster a smile. Those days lingered with her like a recurring bad dream. Whenever she recalled the incident, she felt trapped in that nightmare again. Leah wanted to let those memories fade away, but she just could not do it. She would get startled awake late at night and trace the scars across her skin. During moments like this, she resented Perry. Leah was rather cheerful during the day as if the past was behind her. However, it was simply a way for her to escape the pain. By the way Leah was behaving, Katie instantly regretted the question. She should not have probed. Even if they avoided the elephant in the room, they could pretend like nothing ever happened. Nevertheless, the act of asking brought up unsettling times for Leah. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have asked.” Katie gently held Leah, hoping to cast
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3717 Perry’s Fate
When the ambulance door closed shut, Leah wailed once more. The reality of her rescue finally sank in, and she grasped that it was not just a dream. It was a pity that she did not have much time with Kaze. She longed to spend more time with him. “Don’t cry, young lady. You’ll get better soon enough. Don’t worry about the scars on your face. I can administer medicine to help you,” the doctor said while wiping her tears. “Thank you. I’m finally out of the hell hole.” Leah’s worst nightmare would be to be trapped in there forever. Kaze watched as the ambulance disappeared into the night. He then turned to face the villa. “Apprehend everybody in there. Perry should be punished for his crimes.” Kaze had not intended to go after the Duncans, but the family had crossed the line this time. Leah was an adorable and vulnerable woman. She was abused beyond recognition. It never occurred to Kaze that the Duncans could be so cruel. “Perry has passed out in there. Where should
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3716 Rescue
With the secret out in the open, the housekeeper dropped his attitude. He pointed at the basement not too far away. “My employer is in there.” The housekeeper grimaced and kept his head down. Kaze laughed. Unaware of his impending doom, Perry was still living it up. It was absurd. Perry was playing with fire by hurting Leah. “About time you wise up.” Arthur smiled and patted the housekeeper’s face. He opened the door to the basement. Kaze walked to the bar counter and picked up the best bottle of champagne there. He fiddled with the bottle before carrying it to the basement. The other Viper’s Den members followed him. Kaze took a stride down the steps, to the basement. The noisy music was blasting before they reached the entry. Kaze was filled with a mix of emotions. Nevertheless, he said nothing. He opened the door and walked in. The light in the basement was bright, making everything perfectly clear. However, the people inside were not bothered by the
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3715 The Duncans Mean Squat
“You know him. It’s Perry Duncan, Leah’s ex-boyfriend.” Snow did not see the point of hiding the truth, so she laid everything out. “Leah must be feeling foul because she was unaware that she was being stalked. By the time she realized what was going on, she was taken into a vehicle. “We spotted the vehicle they departed in from the surveillance footage. They headed to the mountain up north.” Snow had a general idea of the location. “I got Arthur on the job. He’s putting up a team from the Viper’s Den.” Snow was uncertain of Kaze’s stance toward Leah, but now that she was made aware of the situation, the least she could do was help. Katie belonged to the Viper’s Den, so Snow was lending a hand to a friend in business. “Thank you. Please save my daughter.” Katie was nervous. The Viper’s Den was the people she could count on. “Arthur is good, but he’s slow. I’ll do it,” Kaze said. The whole thing was unrelated to him. Kaze was well within his right to stand on the si
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3714 Abduction for Ransom
Even so, Elsie was out to get Leah. Elsie could pick up on Perry’s delight when she took a swing at Leah. Poor Elsie was just trying to survive by catering to others. People like her learned to pick up social cues and read body language to please customers for money in return. Their income would double if their customers were happy. Leah was the obstacle. If the women could not get rid of her, they would lose their profit. They had no hard feelings for Leah, but they stood on opposing ends. “You should be fawning over Mr. Duncan, not begging me,” Elsie said while grabbing Leah’s hair to pull her up. Leah snatched Elsie’s wrist to try and break free. “Let me go. I never did anything to you.” Leah was no doormat. She did not want to cross these people or get involved with them. She still hoped that by waiting here, her prince would arrive to save her. However, all she got was a cruel beating, and she had enough. “This isn’t my fault. Blame Mr. Duncan for your cir
