“Mom, what’s wrong?” Darcy asked. Sky said Agnes had been praising Kaze on the way back but based on what Darcy saw, her mother’s attitude toward Kaze did not change at all. Agnes looked upset. She said, “Your aunt just called and scolded me! She said Kaze snatched Samus and Deborah’s car! “They booked it for five million! Then, Kaze made the seller give it to him because he knew someone powerful!” Karen, Samus and Deborah’s mother, was a feisty woman. She had never taken Darcy and her family seriously and always bullied Agnes when she got the chance. Karen heard about the car from Samus and Deborah so she called Agnes and scolded her for being cheap. Darcy then realized it was not Miru but Kaze who brought back three expensive cars. “Mom, Samus used the money he got from selling our house to book the car. Kaze was just taking back the car!” Darcy defended Kaze. Sky adhered, “Yeah, Mom! You were not there at Taurus Automobiles! Samus and Deborah were frustrating! They l
Sky was shocked. Given Darcy’s temper, she might really thrash his new car; especially since she became the CEO of Quintessential Group, her aura got stronger, and she could do things she never did before! Being her brother, Sky felt scared and guilty. “Just think about what you want to do after you graduate.” Kaze tapped his shoulder and walked away. Sky squatted in front of his new car and pondered. Then, a Maybach stopped by the house’s entrance. Jessica, who accused James of plagiarism back in the day, was in front of the car. She just found out that Kaze stayed at Horizon Mirror. When Kaze came out, she went up to him immediately. “Kaze, have you eaten lunch? Why don’t we go to lunch?” “I had lunch,” Kaze simply said and walked past her. Jessica dared not speak another word and went up to her car to open the door for him. “Are we going to Springville District?” Jessica got into the driver’s seat and asked as she fastened her seatbelt. The White family’s
Dagon’s words scared Jessica. She dared not associate herself with Kaze, so she quickly explained, “Mr. Conery, this is my friend. I am buying the mansion for him.” Jessica knew Kaze wanted to keep a low profile, so she did not reveal his identity as the chairman of Perfect World Group, or else Dagon would be shocked. Dagon felt relieved. He sized up Kaze carefully and noticed there were no branded items on him. He immediately looked down on Kaze. How could a poor person like Kaze afford the mansion? It must be a joke. Could he be Jessica’s sugar baby? He might. Jessica might look like a virtuous and professional lady but it seemed like she was quite playful in private. Dagon grew more confident in getting into her pants. “Well then, let’s go in and have a look.” Dagon brought them into the mansion. After a brief tour, Kaze was quite happy with what he saw. The mansion was idle for two years but it was well maintained and cleaned regularly. All the decoratio
“What are you talking about, Mr. Conery!?” Jessica frowned. She was not an idiot and immediately sensed his perverted gaze on her. As a beautiful woman in the business world, she had encountered many perverts like Dagon. All of them looked at her as if she was the juiciest prey in the jungle. She did not expect Dagon to use the mansion to approach her. “Ms. Summer, we are all players here. You don’t need to act in front of me. One night with me and you can take the mansion for eighty million. “One night and you save seventy million. You are a successful businesswoman and you should know it’s a bargain,” Dagon said with an evil grin. His perverted gaze sized up Jessica again. He even started to breathe heavily. “Mr. Conery, I am not a child!” Jessica stepped backward and glared at Dagon. “The price of his mansion is only eighty million, and that’s the price your bank gave you!” Dagon raised the price to 150 million because he wanted to use it to sleep with her and th
The mansion was the home of James and his family. Now the man in charge of selling it, Dagon, threatened Kaze to sell it to some Tom, Dick, and Harry for orgy parties. He had definitely crossed Kaze’s line. Kaze’s expression turned grim. He went over and kicked the man again. “You are just the person in charge of this place. If I want to buy this mansion, even your director would have to hand it over to me without questions,” Kaze said coldly. Ptooey! Dagon spat the blood on the floor and covered his mouth. His gaze turned grim as he bellowed, “You piece of shit! You are just a sugar baby, what are you talking about?!” Kaze called Snow immediately. Meanwhile, in a coffee shop, Snow was having coffee with Mathias. “Snow, you are the eldest daughter of the Frost family, why did you come all the way here to this city just to become someone’s assistant? With your background and capabilities, you can be the chairwoman of Perfect World Group.” Mathias was sitting opposite
Meanwhile in the mansion, Dagon was still acting arrogantly. “Jessica Summer, let me fuck you and I’ll let this piece of shit go! Or else I will make him pay for hitting me!” Jessica did not even look at him. She did not want to inform Dagon that Kaze commanded the Tiger Fangs and the police department to arrest all the gangsters in the city. She also did not want to tell him that Kaze was the mysterious chairman of Perfect World Group. In terms of power and money, Dagon was nothing before Kaze. Dagon was challenging Kaze’s patience by threatening her or him. Then, the director of South Bank, Ramsay, arrived. “Director Scotch? What are you doing here?!” Dagon got up on his feet and went over to his director. He pointed at Kaze and grumbled, “Director, this guy here beat me up! Look at this, I’m bleeding…” Ramsay looked at Kaze. He had never seen Kaze in person but since there were only three people in the house, Kaze must be the mysterious Mr. Lee. “Bleeding? I’ll b
Jessica felt her soul shaking! Kaze was targeting the top three families who had rooted themselves deeply in Lilyrose City! Even if Kaze was the chairman of Perfect World Group, would he be able to overthrow the top three families’ rule? “Mind your own business.” Kaze shot a warning gaze at her. He did not want the top three families to know he was Jesse White. The name Jesse White was a deterrent to the top three families and it alone was enough to make them anxious. He even asked Draco to forge an identity for Jesse White. The identity of Jesse White became legitimate with all the necessary documents. Even if the top three families ran background checks on him, they would not be able to find any clues. “I understand!” Jessica straightened her body and swore to take the secret to her grave. Ramsay was smart enough to follow Jessica. He pledged his loyalty and swore to never spill a word. Kaze shot a glance at Dagon. Dagon shivered as he looked at Kaze in fear
“Mathias, you got the wrong person.” Before Snow could finish, Kaze waved to stop her. “I am just a guy greedy for one hundred million and who marries into the Quints as a son-in-law. How could I be Perfect World Group’s Chairman?” Kaze then smiled and walked away. He did not want Mathias to find out about his real identity because he wanted to keep a distance from the Queens of Butterworth. It would be easier to call himself a greedy and useless son-in-law of the Quints. Mathis felt a relief knowing that Kaze was not the chairman. He said to Snow, “Snow, how can you be with someone like him? Did you know that earlier at Taurus Automobile, he wanted me to purchase the outlet that is worth a hundred million for him just because he saved my sister?” “Your sister? Sandy?” Snow knew Mathias for years but the Queens were huge, so she had never seen Sandy before. However, she remembered the name of the girl Kaze had rescued the other day, and it sparked a realization in h
“If you won’t listen to reason, I’ll have to send you abroad and leave you to fend for yourself.” Katie would have no choice but to ditch Leah if she became too hard to manage. Leah never thought that her mother would say such a thing. While Katie was a callous mother to her, it never crossed Leah’s mind that Katie would send her away. Leah did not want to leave Arcadia. It would cut her off from the person she wanted to meet. Though it was uncertain whether she could see Kaze again, the odds would be in her favor if she stayed. Leah was defenseless against Katie’s coercion. With Leah falling silent, Katie knew that she was moving in the right direction. “Be a good girl, and I’ll make it worth your while. You’re my daughter. Of course, I love you and want what’s best for you.” Katie backed up a little to ease the tension. “You don’t have to do anything. Just stay with me. There’s still room for discussion if marriage isn’t for you right now.” Katie knew her daught
Katie, taking off in the car, was not in the best mood. The smile on her face quickly vanished as soon as the car was out of sight. “What’s wrong with you today?” Katie questioned. “What do you mean?” Leah talked smack. “I’m sure you know full well why I took you with me.” Katie had conceded, but Leah just would not take her win and leave it at it. The nerve of her to defy. “I did. You’re trying to sell me, aren’t you?” Holding a grudge on the earlier slap, Leah was pretty rude to her mother. “Since you can’t accept the big man from the Viper’s Den, I set you up with a young, handsome man. There’s no pleasing you.“Jet is the whole package. He has the looks and wealth. Is he not good enough for you?” Katie felt put in the spot. Leah was getting more unruly by the day. “I want to live life on my own terms.” Leah voiced her thoughts. She was nobody’s puppet. “Oh, you want to dictate your life. As you can see, everything you have comes from me. You’ll lose eve
“I am just telling the truth. Thank you for your enlightenment, Madam Loren,” Jet said humbly. “It’s getting late. We should be going. My daughter easily gets tired at night. She’s like a little rabbit at home. “If you have any other gathering in the future, remember to bring her alone and let her make some friends.” Katie once again pushed her daughter to the forefront, hoping to matchmake the two of them. “Let’s keep in touch, Leah. If you want to have some fun, just call me. I’ll arrange everything,” Jet said. “Thank you. As for your problem, don’t worry about it. I’ll go ask around,” Katie added. Jet had already achieved his objective, so he stood up and sent them out. After the mother and daughter went into the car and drove off, the humble smile on his face disappeared. Aloysius then came from the side. “Have you prepared the present?” Jet rubbed his stiff cheeks and then lit up a cigarette. “Yes, sir. It’s a set of jewelry.” Aloysius had prepared a presen
“That means we share the same taste, which is great because I can ask her out for dinner next time.” Jet seemed to have understood Katie’s intention, and he started to carefully scrutinize the girl. Leah wore a pale yellow strapless dress, looking stunning with her fair skin. Only a few could carry such a dress and looked amazing. Leah might be quiet but she was beautiful, especially with her neck exposed. “Thank you. It’s just that my daughter really likes to stay at home and doesn’t go out a lot. If you can bring her out, I would be so happy.” Katie was even fonder of Jet, as his sharp perception exceeded her expectations. “Not a problem, but I’m quite busy lately. When I settle my work, I can bring her to meet my friends,” Jet said. He even took the initiative to offer to take the girl out. Katie saw no problem with that. As expected, Jet was smart and perceptive. “Don’t worry about your projects. I’ll do whatever I can to help.” Katie saw it as a trade and a
“It just feels right to talk to you in person.” Jet stood up and served the dishes onto their plates, making an effort to appear polite and considerate. Katie grew fond of her future son-in-law. “I heard a few of your projects were canceled. Did anything happen?” As the CEO of Northborn Group, she was aware of the news circulating around. She heard about the Frost family as well but she had never gotten to know Jet, so she was not concerned. “Yes. We are in a little trouble. Everything was progressing smoothly and we should be able to see profit soon but something held us up,” Jet explained with a smile on his face, his tone casual. He made it sound like the delay and seizure of the operation was no big deal. “You are still young and maybe it’s because you don’t have enough experience. Don’t worry, take it slow.” “I understand. I should learn from you, Madam Loren,” Jet said politely. “If you need any help, let me know. I’ll do what I can,” Katie said. Jet had bee
“I’m okay with anything. Thank you,” Leah said. “I’ve spoiled my daughter. Please don’t mind her,” Katie said, trying to ease the tension. The three of them entered the VIP room with dishes already served on the table. Jet came early to prepare for the dinner. “It seems like you’ve been waiting for us for a while. I should have urged the girl to be quicker just now.” Katie was happy with Jet’s attentiveness. “I don’t have anything particular today, so it’s okay that I wait. Leah is really beautiful in her dress. It’s only normal for a girl to doll up and look great,” Jet answered. His tone sounded casual and it was his attitude that won Katie’s fondness. “You are really kind. I bet you are a great boyfriend,” Katie asked, hoping to find out more. “Madam Loren, I am solely focused on my career, I do not have a girlfriend,” Jet said as he got up and poured them water. “You are young and successful, how could you be alone and single? What a waste!” “A man should alwa
Katie was a woman and it was not easy for her to become the CEO of Northborn Group and a member of the Viper’s Den all at once. Jet invited her to dinner because he wanted her to find out who was behind the malicious attacks on his projects. Leah knew her mother had brought her to this dinner for matchmaking, but the moment she saw Jet, she felt less than satisfied. Before she met Kaze, she might have been interested in Jet. Jet was a well-known figure in Butterworth and his presence could easily attract young ladies. He was a tall and handsome man; a gentleman who exuded elegance, an ideal man who could capture any young lady’s heart. In addition to his family background and his position as heir, he became the ideal candidate for husband and son-in-law to many. Leah used to fantasize about him but she had a boyfriend back then and did not want to cheat. However, when she saw Jet in person, she did not feel anything, not even the slightest excitement. Looking at Jet,
Leah was naturally beautiful and with meticulous makeup coupled with a beautiful dress, she looked stunning. “It’s getting late. We have to leave now. Your mother is already there and she’s expecting us soon,” Joey said. Leah had planned to make a fuss by changing into a different dress, showing her unwillingness to take the dinner seriously. However, after hearing Joey’s words, she realized she was out of time. “Don’t try to defy your mother anymore. It’s over now. Just let it be in the past,” Joey said, afraid that the girl would get into a fight with her mother again. “I’ll just zip my mouth,” Leah said. That was the only thing she could do now. Katie changed into something formal for the dinner as well. The person she and her daughter would be meeting was her ideal son-in-law candidate. She wanted Leah to meet him because she wanted her daughter to develop a relationship with the man. Ever since she slapped Leah, she had been feeling sorry and she wanted to use this
Leah grew up surrounded by luxury brands. Be it luxurious, tailored brands or the latest designs from famous designers, every new piece of clothing came with the question of whether she wanted it or not. After she made her selection, only the other young ladies could browse through whatever she had discarded. Leah could not live a normal life. She was slightly displeased but did not argue with Joey. Maybe she was clear that she could not live without the luxury that she grew up with. Joey looked at the quiet girl and thought she had returned to her obedient self. Even an obedient girl like Leah would sometimes be rebellious. Joey brought Leah to the car and soon reached a fashion house. The fashion house was a white building with a classic architectural style. The designers here specialized in styling wealthy young ladies, sometimes providing door-to-door services. Joey had booked a slot, so they did not have to wait for the designers and stylists. After Leah had
