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.”
“Oh, no! “Larry was taken away right under our nose. When his parents find out, they are going to make a huge fuss and demand that we pay. We don’t have the funds.’ Agnes panicked as Hades’ sidekick dragged Larry out. Kaze smiled. Agnes’ concern was not an issue. There was no way he was going to cough up the money to save Larry. Still, he uttered, “Don’t panic, Agnes. I talked to Hades last night. He might listen to me. Let me ask him. Wait here for me.” He needed to inform Hades about other matters which were not for Agnes’ ears anyway. Kaze went out of the ward. “Hades, about the money…”Benedict stood before Hades with his head hung low. With Kaze approaching, Benefit shot him a look. “Step aside. Can’t you see I’m talking to Hades?” Following Kaze’s explanation, Benedict was convinced that Hades was at the medical center for Larry. It somehow eluded him that he got a beating from Hades because of Kaze.Benedict did not see Kaze as a threat. Kaze glanced at
As a matter of fact, Kaze was also shocked when he heard Victor. He had no idea about donating the medical equipment. Ray must have donated it a while back without his knowledge. Regardless, everyone was surprised when they heard Victor. All of them instantly felt ashamed for mocking Kaze earlier. They lowered their heads out of guilt and wished they could bury their heads in a hole like an ostrich. If Kaze donated more than a few hundred million worth of medical equipment, how rich could he be? His net worth should be an astronomical figure. A young and wealthy person was treated like garbage. What a joke. Even Hades was shocked when he looked at Kaze. He flattered Kaze not because of his strength or power, but because Kaze was close to the Queens. Now, Victor revealed Kaze as a super-wealthy billionaire! Was it a joke? Benedict then looked at Kaze with an awkward look. “Mr. Lee, I-I’m sorry. T-This is a misunderstanding. I’ll apologize…” “You want me to ge
