Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2638 Prepared
Darcy and her family were seated at the corner, which upset Agnes. “Why?! Even Agatha and her family are seated in front. Why must we sit at the back here? Darcy is the head of the Quint family branch. Other than the few military personnel, who else here is stronger than you?” Hector sighed. “Agatha and her family are in front because Nelson is the right-hand man of Vanik Clifford of South River Strategic Department. Your brother needs him to entertain the people from the military, so they are in front. “Besides, Kaze said something wrong just now but your mother didn’t lash out at him. She has shown us enough grace already. Just bear with it. It’s just a meal, no big deal.” Ever since Darcy became the head of the Quint family branch, Agnes’ arrogance skyrocketed and she refused to be treated unfairly. However, the Otter family was her birth family after all and she could not just lash out at them. She turned to Kaze with a glare. “It’s all because of you!” “Mom, stop it.

“Yeah, we are prepared for this. You’ll know what’s inside the boxes later.” Maxine gave Darcy a sly and meaningful wink. After Maxine and Patrick counted the gifts one last time, the emcee said, “Maxine and Patrick have prepared a number of gifts. “A painting from a famous painter in the 1890s valued at two million! “A hundred-year-old wild herbal ginseng, and a blessed bracelet from St. John Church, brought back by Patrick himself. Together, these gifts are intended to wish Master and Madam Otter good health and longevity.” The crowd applauded after the master of ceremony ended the announcement. Maxine and Patrick prepared three gifts for the elders. Each present easily surpassed the values of the gifts that came before them. The hundred-year-old wild ginseng and the blessed bracelet from St. John Church were meaningful gifts as their worth was not monetary but also their benefits. It represented Maxine and Patrick’s sincere respect and goodwill, something the others

Maxine and Patrick planned this ahead to make Agnes and her family look bad. It explained why they jumped the queue when Agnes and Darcy started lining up. If Agnes and Darcy managed to present the gifts before Maxine and Patrick, they would not have been in such a difficult position. As soon as Darcy’s voice subsided, the emcee said loudly, “Next would be Agnes and her family, presenting gifts to… Huh?” The emcee had a look at the card and was surprised. He thought he got the wrong card. “Uh… Agnes and family have a painting valued at three hundred thousand, fifty-year-old ginseng, and a bracelet from St. Aeris Church.” The entire hall fell into an awkward silence. In order to dissolve the awkwardness, the emcee chuckled and said, “It’s not too bad. The gifts are the same as Maxine and Patrick’s but it’s the thought that matters, right?” His words made the air feel even more awkward. Countless pairs of eyes looked at Darcy and her family, mocking and making fun of th

The main issue was that Darcy's family held a weak position within the Otter family, making it inevitable for others to look down on them. Madam Otter could help once or twice but could not help them forever. “Yes, Mother…” Agnes and her family timidly stepped down and went back to their seats. She had the strongest urge to ram herself into the wall to put an end to the embarrassment. She was not only embarrassed, but also felt so ashamed and lost her dignity in front of her family, and she blamed it on Kaze. If Kaze were as capable as Patrick, her family would never be looked down upon. If Kaze was rich, they could just appear and people would swarm to them like bees to flowers. Agnes chose to blame Kaze instead of Maxine and Patrick, who obviously set a trap for them. “Kaze, it’s all because of you! You are a jinx! If not because of what you said out there, Maxine and Patrick won’t come after us like this!” She glared at Kaze with gritted teeth. Darcy frowned. “

People started to laugh, mocking Kaze and flattering Patrick at the same time. As Patrick’s girlfriend, she was happy and proud they were singing Patrick’s praises.By belittling Darcy and her family, she finally got back at Kaze for the slap.Patrick looked delighted as well but he humbly said, “Guys, come on. I believe Kaze has his own difficulties. “But it seems like I misunderstood him. There’s no last gift or whatever…” “No! You did not misunderstand anything, there is a last gift! A big one!” A voice came from a figure standing at the door, surprising everyone. Everyone looked at the door and saw Kaze, who they thought had left, standing there with black plastic bags in his hand. A lit cigarette was hanging in his mouth. His smug look might lead people to think that he was the one who got accepted into Flying Dragons, not Hanses. His frivolous appearance made Master and Madam Otter, who were usually meticulous about manners and politeness, frown. The plastic bag

Maxine scoffed, “You? If there’s something good that Grandmother likes in that stupid bag of yours, I’ll slap myself in front of everyone!” Hanses, the eldest grandson, also said, “Kaze, it’s enough. Let’s just sit down. The feast is starting and everyone is waiting.” He was also displeased by Kaze’s untimely interruption. Everyone was waiting for the feast to start yet Kaze barged in, insisting to present a “big gift”. Suddenly, Aegon said, “Madam Otter, why don’t we have a look at what Mr. Lee got there?” “Yeah. Maybe you will like it?” “I agree.” To everyone’s surprise, the quiet and strict Aruto and Brent suddenly spoke up and suggested checking the gift Kaze prepared. Everyone was taken aback, shocked that they chose to defend Kaze. What happened? Why would the three of them help Kaze? Could it be that they got upset about Kaze delaying the feast by making a scene and decided to let him make a fool of himself? Even Madam Otter was baffled, but she suppresse
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2644 The Best Present
“Grandmother, Kaze is a horrible person! He must be doing this because of what you said just now and he hated you for that! That’s why he’s trying to use these cheap cigarettes and wine to fool you! Just throw them away!” “Yeah, just throw them away!” Max and Maxine urged their grandmother to throw the gifts away. Then, Max tried to grab and throw them. “Wait!” Madam Otter bellowed. She then picked up the cigarettes and wine to have a better look. As she carefully examined the packaging and traced the black dragon insignia with her fingers, her expression grew serious. She turned to Aruto and Brent to ask, “General Wake, General Highland, you two are high-ranking military generals. Can you have a look at the cigarettes and wine and tell me where they are from? “As far as I know, the cigarettes and wine are only for soldiers serving in the military but I don’t recognize the black dragon marking.” Madam Otter was an old timer and had seen a fair share of strange and amu
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2645 Slaps in Front of Everyone
“What?! The cigarettes and wine are from the Battle Dragon Troops?!” Everyone was shocked by Madam Otter’s revelation. She happily said, “General Wake and General Highland literally just confirmed it, how could they be fake? These cigarettes and wine are unlike other military offerings. They rarely leave the military compound and even if you have the money or the connections, you might not get it. “Who would have thought that I could get to taste them today? This is great!” She could barely keep herself together as she was overwhelmed by joy. Everyone else looked at Kaze in disbelief. The son-in-law that even Agnes looked down on got his hands on some special offerings exclusive to the Battle Dragon Troops. Where did he get them? Max and Maxine were flabbergasted. They mocked Kaze earlier and did not hold back at all. Patrick was also in disbelief. He looked at Kaze, his gaze suspicious, wondering how Kaze did it. Madam Otter looked at Kaze properly for the first

“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

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

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

“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

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
