“What? One billion dollars for an invite? That’s daylight robbery.” Belarus was furious when Flint relayed the price. Even though Albert was the chief commander of the State Strategic Department, an invitation to attend his ceremony should not cost that much. Flint uttered, “I heard Albert trained under the God of War. He longed for an assignment from the God of War himself. I’m confident the God of War will be there.”“Seriously?” Edward had his doubts. “Even if the God of War is attending, one billion dollars for an invite is ridiculous. Maybe it’s a special price to scam us out of our money.” “Even if it is, I’m paying up.” Belarus interrupted him. “My family will be attending the ceremony. I don’t care if the money is for the God of War or Albert, I’m paying the one billion dollars. The things they can offer me in return outweigh the cost.” “That’s right. My family will be attending too.” Belarus managed to convince Flint. Edward let out a wry smile. “We are in t
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 300 Not a CEO for Long
It was Kaze’s idea to raise the price to one billion dollars per invitation to the ceremony. Kaze heard Tiffany and Martin talking at mansion No. 9 yesterday. He learned that the top three families wanted to befriend Albert through the ceremony. They wanted to utilize their connection with Albert to confront Kaze. It was amusing. Kaze decided to give the top three families what they wanted and so much more. The families’ wealth was stolen anyway. It was dirty money. Kaze and Draco chatted. Darcy had her usual briefing at Quintessential Group office building, listening to her department heads’ reports. “Presently, the group’s focus is on the Passion Fragrance project. All the preparations for the pre-sale are completed, and we are scheduled to open for pre-sale the day after tomorrow.“The 2-billion-dollar investment poured into the group enabled a bigger budget in marketing. With our solid relationships with the banks, we are starting to see a positive lift since the a

After taking control, Darcy gained more confidence. Her words sounded more dignified than before. Samus’ heart skipped a beat as he was frightened. Deborah had her hands curled around Vincent’s arm as she strutted over. “Darcy, you are in big trouble. Do you know what you have done? No one can save you this time.” “Enlighten me please, what did I do wrong?” Darcy sneered. She knew Samus and Deborah well enough to know they must possess some evidence to be this arrogant. “You will find out soon,” Vincent said coldly. Then, hurried footsteps came from the corridor and a group of uniformed men entered. The leader was a man in his early thirties. He scanned the room and ultimately locked his gaze on Darcy. “Darcy Quint? I am Han Feyan of the State Economic Investigation Division and we are currently investigating a case of business fraud. Please cooperate.” All the executives in the meeting room were shocked. The State Economic Investigation Division officers caused an

“Grandfather, I didn’t bribe Jean to sabotage the project!” Darcy looked at Master Quint, aggrieved. Deborah sneered, “If you didn’t do it, why would Jean expose you and not us?” “She’s accusing me! She’s slandering!” Darcy pointed at Jean, shouting, “You better make it clear! Since when did I give you money to sabotage the project? Do you have any proof?” “You want proof? I’ll give you proof!” Vincent scoffed. If they were not prepared, the Hanser family would not dare to frame Darcy. He slammed several documents on the table. One of them was Jean’s bank statement. It clearly showed a million dollars credited to her bank account a day before she went missing. The source was from the finance department of Quintessential Group. There was also the invoice from the finance department and Darcy was the person who approved the transaction. Her signature was on the document! Master Quint had a look at the documents and was infuriated. He tossed the papers in Darcy’s face.

“Rudy can be the CEO. I’ve misunderstood him before.” Master Quint’s words delighted Rudy and his family even more. However, the executives refused to accept it. “Mr. Chairman, Ms. Quint is still under investigation. She might be framed. If you want to elect a new CEO, you would have to wait for the investigation result first!” “Yeah! Ms. Quint is competent and we all know that! We believe in her!” echoed other executives as they voiced their support for Darcy. Darcy might be new in the position but everyone saw the effort she put into the company. They refused to return to the previous management where Rudy and his family were in control.Calling them cowards and useless was an understatement. “Who said that!? Get up!” Samus went over to the executive who voiced his support for Darcy and slapped him in the face. “You piece of shit! Darcy is arrested now and you are still defending her? Get out of here! You are fired!” He punched and kicked the executive and threw th

Rudy had made a deal with the Hansers to let them take over Passion Fragrance District and in return, they agreed to help kick Darcy out of the company and the rights to sell the houses in Passion Fragrance District would be theirs. Rudy agreed without a second thought. Vincent would be his son-in-law soon, so he could use this chance to strengthen the bond between the two families. With a first-tier family’s support, Rudy’s position would also solidify within the family. Master Quint would not be able to relieve him of his duty at will. He would have to think twice. “No, we’ll just delay the pre-sale and wait for the coast to clear,” Master Quint disagreed. He was anxious but he managed to think straight. He refused to give the Hanser family control of their core project. “Grandfather, we cannot delay the pre-sale. The whole world thinks our company is having a problem and we must prove them wrong! Or else no one will buy our houses!” Samus said, trying to dissuade Mas

Agnes knew Kaze had nothing to do with this but she vented her anger on him anyway. Kaze did not say a word. As a matter of fact, he had made the necessary calls to inquire about what happened. Then, Miru came to the house. “You can’t even protect your wife, what good are you?” she sneered at Kaze as soon as she saw him. She then pulled her phone out for a call. “Mayor Brooks, I’m Miru Scarlet, goddaughter of Alan Cummingham. I want to know about the charges my friend, Darcy, faces. Can you do something about it? A million bucks is not a huge amount.” She did not care if Darcy was framed or not, she just wanted to do whatever she could to get her out. Johnson said, “Ms. Scarlet, I’ve been paying close attention to Ms. Quint’s case and I’ve ordered the chief of police to investigate. I’ve also used every connection I have to make things happen. “But this case is handled by the state, and the state police are involved. The commissioner of the State Economic Investigatio

“Of course.” Han came out after hearing the commotion. He signaled the officer and said, “Bring him in.” He then looked at the other man beside Kaze who looked flamboyant with the pair of shades. “What are you here for?” “I’m bored out of my mind, so I came here, turning myself in just to see how you interrogate suspects.” “Nonsense! The special unit is here for investigations. It is a place where the laws are abided and justice is served, not a place for you to fool around!” Han was furious when he heard Draco’s teases. He waved at the other uniformed officers. “Toss this man out!” However, the two uniformed officers did not move as if they were petrified. “Are you two deaf? Can’t you hear me?!” Han turned around and bellowed. “C-Commissioner, t-that’s Chief Commander Lang!” said one of the officers. He had to muster all his strength and courage to spell Draco’s name and title. “Chief Commander Lang? Which Chief Commander Lang?” Han frowned. He did not understand

“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
