Chapter 3 Candidate for Succession

Author: Five Generals
“Kaze, you’ve recovered?!”

Seeing the clarity in Kaze’s eyes, Darcy covered her mouth in disbelief, thrilled to see her husband looking lively.

“Yes, Darcy, I have recovered.”

Kaze looked at Darcy as his eyes teared up despite having gone through countless brutal fights on the battlefield himself.

Darcy broke down in tears instantly. She was thrilled to see Kaze healthy.

Kaze pulled her into his arms. He felt sorry for putting her through so much suffering all these years.

“Hmph. So what if you’ve recovered? You are still a piece of trash,” Deborah said with a scoff.

She sat down, pointed at the folded table in the corner, and said loudly, “Get over there and sit down. Contributing ten billion? What a joke!”

Kaze frowned. He wanted to argue but Darcy stopped him and dragged him over to the corner.

The four of them sat at the folded table.

The others were having a feast whereas Darcy and her family were served four cups of ramen.

Master Quint at the center seat looked at the ebullient atmosphere and his heart filled with grandeur.

“Quiet everyone, I have an announcement to make.”

Everyone put down their cutleries and listened.

Master Quint nodded in satisfaction and said, “I believe everyone has received news of Sky High Investment Group making a high-profile entrance to Lilyrose City.

“The Sky High Investment Group is a world-class company, a titan in the industry. Their coming to our city will be a great chance for the power hierarchy to reshuffle, and it will be an opportunity for our family.

“Our family might be second-tier, living a decent life, but other families can easily overtake us in power. That’s why we must seize this chance to get an investment from Sky High Investment Group. Even if it’s just a little, it will be enough for us to live a carefree life and rise to the next level of power.”

Master Quint got excited as he explained. His face flushed as he continued, “I hereby announce that whoever of us obtain an investment from Sky High Investment Group will be entitled to ten percent of the company shares, and… the position of general manager!”

The shocking news left everyone in shock and awe.

“Ten percent of the company shares is a huge sum of money! We can use it on anything we like!”

“The most important thing is the position of general manager! That’s the second highest position in the company!”

“But it's a difficult task. I heard many families in the city are lining up to meet the representatives from Sky High Investment Group.”

While everyone was in a heated discussion, Deborah got on her feet.

“Grandfather, don’t worry. I’ll definitely get the investment! I have already asked Vincent to submit a proposal to them. I believe we will get a reply from Sky High soon.”

Her words shocked everyone. They were jealous of Deborah’s influential support.

Vincent Hanser was her boyfriend, the eldest son of a first-tier family in Lilyrose.

With Vincent’s help, it was almost certain that she would get the investment from Sky High Investment Group.

“Good! Good! You are indeed the best among my grandchildren, Deborah! Your birthday is in three days and I’ll make sure you get the grandest birthday party!”

Master Quint was thrilled. “Deborah, if you secure the investment, you will be the next in line to inherit the family business!”

As soon as Master Quint made the announcement, Darcy and her family were shocked.

As part of the extended family, everyone was extremely sensitive toward the position of the heir, especially Darcy’s father who was the second son.

Deborah’s father was the eldest son, and her family never treated Darcy and her family well. If Master Quint passed and Deborah was chosen as the heir, then Darcy and her family would suffer.

Looking at the pale looks on his in-laws’ faces, Kaze said, “Grandfather, does it mean that if Darcy gets the investment, she will also be made a candidate for succession?”

His question silenced everyone.

Pft!

Samus scoffed when he heard the question. “Kaze, are you still a retard or what? Darcy getting the investment? With what? With you and your retarded brain? Eat your ramen and shut up! I bet after this meal, you and your family will starve again.”

Deborah lifted her head and looked at Kaze in disdain. “Retard, you might not know since you’ve just recovered but Darcy and her parents are deep in debt. They are selling whatever they can and borrowing money everywhere. I wonder if Darcy has to sell herself to put food on the table.

“Oh, I remember it’s Darcy’s birthday as well in three days. We share the same birthday anyway, but we definitely don’t share the same financial status. She’s living in poverty. Why doesn’t she pick up the cake that she made and keep it for three days later?”

Everyone laughed. They all looked at Kaze and Darcy scornfully.

The insults made Darcy cry. Sobbing, she said, “Deborah, where is your conscience? You snatched my company away and put me in charge of your declining company. The debts originally belonged to you…”

Deborah stopped her immediately and cried, “Darcy, one more word from that mouth of yours and I’ll slap it off! You are useless, don’t put the blame on me!”

The atmosphere got tense as a catfight almost broke out between the two ladies.

“Enough.”

Master Quint spoke to calm the atmosphere. He then said, “Kaze, if Darcy gets an investment from Sky High, I will clear her debts and give them back the bonuses from previous years.”

Darcy’s parents, Agnes and Hector Quint, were delighted by Master Quint’s promise.

Ever since Kaze left on Darcy’s wedding night, the family’s annual bonus had been confiscated by Master Quint, and a few million in total at that.

If they could get the bonuses, then their lives would change for the better.

However, before they could fully embrace that idea, Master Quint added, "But Darcy must also recover the debt from Pietro Beneli!"

Agnes and Hector were stunned, while the rest were surprised.

Pietro Beneli was a well-known gangster in Lilyrose City.

Other family members tried to recover the debt from him before and they were almost beaten to death.

Master Quint’s request was obviously trying to put Darcy in a difficult situation.

In a panic, Agnes exclaimed, "No, Father! It's too risky! What if something happens to Darcy? What if they harm her?"

Deborah then feigned a difficult look and said, “Aunt Agnes, it’s okay if she doesn’t want to go, but you and your family won’t be able to make a comeback for the rest of your lives.”

Upon hearing Deborah, Darcy and her family turned deathly pale.

Darcy was in a dilemma.

Then, Kaze held her hand and whispered, “Darcy, take the offer.”

What?! Darcy thought she heard him wrong.

She frowned and whispered back, “Kaze, what are you talking about? That’s Pietro Beneli, it’s not possible to try to recover the debt!”

Kaze confidently said, “Darcy, trust me. Take the offer and I’ll help you recover the debt.”

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 4 Pietro Beneli

    Looking at Kaze’s confident face, Darcy hesitated. She thought of her family’s current financial situation and it gave her no choice. She bit the bullet, got up, and said, “Grandfather, I’ll go and recover the debt.” “You stupid girl! Are you crazy? What if that gangster ripped your face apart? Henry wouldn’t want you then!” Agnes panicked. The others were shocked, including Master Quint. No one expected Darcy to take up the task. Samus and the others gloated at her. He then took a five-dollar bill and tossed it at Darcy. “This is for your bravery and for you to take the bus back.” Deborah crossed her arms and said with raised brows, “You agreed to go yourself. If anything happens to you, don't blame us.” Kaze glared at the few of them coldly. He did not even want to argue with them because they were simply clowns. He held Darcy’s hand and left the mansion. Meanwhile, Darcy’s parents were giddy with anxiety. Agnes gritted her teeth, “We must ask Henry to help us, he’s o

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 5 Shocked

    Lee? Pietro looked at Kaze, baffled. “There is a man named Kaze Lee, and I’m trying to teach him a lesson.” A loud thud could be heard from the other end of the line. Pietro asked, “Boss, are you alright?” Then, a thunderous roar from the man was blasted into Pietro’s ear through the phone. “Alright? I’m not f*cking alright! Are you trying to f*ck with me now?! I’m warning you, whatever that man tells you to do, you f*cking do it, understand? He is a God from now on!” Pietro was stunned. He had never seen Giovani this scared for as long as he worked for him. He instinctively asked, “Boss, are you mistaken? He’s just some trash who married into the Quint family.” “Pietro, are you trying to get yourself killed? You and I are like flies to him. One swat and we are all dead, crushed! You understand me?!” “Boss, I…” Pietro got nervous. “Last warning. That man is someone that not even I can mess with, you better take care of your own a*s!” The call ended abruptly. Pie

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 6 Cloud Nine

    “Hmph!” Miru scoffed. “I would like to see how you do that. By the way, do you know where Henry is bringing us to dinner tonight? It’s the third floor of Cloud Nine! A piece of trash like you could never get into such a luxurious restaurant even if you work your entire life!” Agnes’ eyes glimmered with excitement. “The third floor of Cloud Nine?! Only Golden members can make a booking at that place!” Cloud Nine was one of the most famous restaurants in Lilyrose and only by spending above ten million on a single receipt, one would be eligible to apply for the Golden membership. Master Quint was the only one in the entire family to have a Golden member card. As for floors above the third, the required spending would be much higher. Miru glanced at Kaze and scoffed, “Kaze, this is the difference between you and Henry. I have no idea what gives you the confidence to continue staying at Darcy’s side.” “Miru, stop talking to this piece of trash. Darcy is here. Let’s go. We wouldn

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 7 Want to Meet Someone Important

    “Pietro’s boss? Isn’t that Giovani Beneli?” Miru scoffed and said, “Kaze, do you even know who Giovani Beneli is? That is a big shot with a vast network and influence, even my godfather has to respect him. You are here saying that Giovani Beneli is hosting a feast for you as a token of apology? Are you trying to get yourself killed?” “Miru, if you don’t believe me, you can go up there and see for yourself,” Kaze said calmly but Miru rolled her eyes at him. Henry regained his composure and said with a smile, “I think he saw Giovani’s car at the entrance, that’s why he said so. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, or else all of us would suffer if it reaches the man’s ears.” Everyone was afraid. “I’ve had enough of your nonsense!” Agnes slammed the table and shouted, “You keep being a retard and it embarrasses us. Get out of my face or I’ll slap you to death!” “Kaze, why don’t you go first? I’ll come home after dinner.” Darcy was embarrassed as well. She got up and dra

    Miru was excited to catch a glimpse of someone that prominent as well. “Darcy, let’s go have a look at the elevator later,” Miru said as she tugged on Darcy's sleeve. “I’ll pass. I have to go back with Kaze later…” Darcy was a little tipsy after a few glasses of wine. Miru sighed disappointedly and said, “You are still thinking about that retard? This is a golden opportunity! If we leave a strong impression on those people, your family won’t have to worry about money anymore!” “Then… alright.” A while later, Geoffrey received a call. Everyone got nervous. Was the important person coming down already? Geoffrey put his phone down helplessly. “My father just called and told me the dinner is over. The important person has left.” “How unfortunate. I thought we could get a glimpse of the person…” Everyone sighed. “Darcy, are you done?” Kaze came into the room. “Kaze, what are you doing here? Go away!” Miru was still reeling in the disappointment of not seeing the

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 9 Shameless Quints

    Miru scoffed. Henry narrowed his eyes and nodded. He ridiculed, “Sure, Kaze. You can show me how it’s done.” He did not want to waste his time on a retard. With his wealth, if he wanted, Darcy could live like a queen. For all that he cared, he might as well give the chance to Kaze and let him screw things up. With the useless retard as a comparison, Henry had a good chance to stand out.Agnes ignored Kaze completely and asked, “Henry, can you invite Pietro to Darcy’s birthday party? We can thank him for paying us back.” Henry’s smile froze. When he called Pietro earlier, Pietro scolded him and hung up impatiently before he could say anything. He did not expect Pietro to really pay up. He was uncertain if he was able to invite Pietro to Darcy’s party. However, when he saw Kaze looking at him, his heart tightened. He bit the bullet and said, “Agnes, don’t worry. I’ll call Pietro and invite him.” He pulled his phone out and dialed the number. His heart was pounding wildly

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 10 Birthday Present

    What? Did Darcy recover the debt? How? Deborah just told everyone that Pietro was furious because of Kaze and Darcy. Deborah and the others were stunned, including Master Quint who then dug his ears and asked, “You… You really got the money back?” Darcy nodded and gave the man the check and the account book. “Grandfather, this is the check, please have a look.” Master Quint stared at the check for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded, “It’s a check from Pietro Beneli.” The rest of the family members felt relieved. It seemed Pietro was not mad at all because Darcy got the money back, which meant the Quint family would be safe and fine. “Hmph! Do you really think it’s you who recovered the debt? Stop dreaming!” Deborah stepped up and shouted, “If not for me, Pietro would never give you two the money! He slapped me! He must have given the money back to compensate me!” The other family members nodded in agreement upon hearing Deborah’s explanation. S

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 11 VIP on Business

    “You keep pretending. How did a retard like you get the money to buy Goddess’ Heart?” Deborah taunted Kaze before showing Darcy her new necklace. “I can’t wait to put this on during my birthday party. I will then wear it to the signing event with Sky High when I get the investment. This is sweet!” Samus flattered, “Deb, you will soon be the brightest woman in Lilyrose! As for someone else, they are not even in the same league!” Everyone was jealous. They thought highly of Vincent for buying an expensive piece of jewelry like the Goddess’ Heart for his girlfriend. How generous! Kaze’s patience ran out. He stepped forward with clenched fists but Darcy held him back. “Kaze, calm down!” “Look at that! Look at the retard! Is he trying to hit me?” Deborah pretended to be scared. “If you hit her, I’ll tell Grandfather to throw you out tomorrow!” “Hmph! A retard trying to beat Deborah?” The other family members stepped up to defend Deborah. Samus raised his phone and thre

    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

  • 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

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3713 Caged Bird

    Leah had not had it easy these recent days. However, she had learned to be submissive and give in. It never occurred to her that Perry would do this to her. After repeated beatings, she quickly wised up. “Mr. Duncan, why is this disgusting person here? She’s an eyesore.” Dressed in a red number, a woman with wavy hair sat next to Perry. She clung to Perry intimately. She spoke in a sultry and mesmerizing voice. “Oh, she’s just a bitch. “She got on my nerves, so I punished her. I’ll dump her once I’m bored with her.” Perry had the time of his life getting back at Leah. He got a kick out of it. However, he did not feel that it was enough. Every time he looked at his injured hand, his resentment toward Leah grew. “How did she upset you, Mr. Duncan?” Another lady extended her arms to knead Perry’s shoulders while gently murmuring into his ear. With women gathering and fussing over him, Perry felt his ego thoroughly stroked. He was thrilled. “Well, she doesn’t kno

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3712 Call to Account

    Katie thought about everybody. Kaze was the odd one out, so he had to be the suspect. It made sense that Leah would elope with Kaze. “There must be some sort of misunderstanding. We can talk it out. Don’t do anything reckless.” Snow stopped Katie from doing anything extreme. “How could there be a misunderstanding? There can be no one else but him.” Katie was stubborn. “We can help with your daughter’s disappearance. You won’t get anywhere by picking on him.” Snow tried her best to defend Kaze. She would not let Kaze be hurt on her watch. Eager to find her daughter, Katie believed her suspicion to be the truth, and Kaze must have stashed her daughter somewhere. “I don’t have time to waste, but no one could’ve taken Leah away.” Katie was naїvely convinced that Kaze was behind it. Kaze had only just learned about Leah’s disappearance. It was quite late for Katie to finally look into the matter. “I didn’t take your daughter, but we can dig deeper into this.” Leah w

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3711 Worried About Nothing

    The blue gem necklace around Snow’s neck brought out her elegance and class. Snow was educated well. She carried herself with ease at the social event. She exchanged pleasantries with business partners and greeted them all. Snow shared a few drinks with several prominent families. Aloysius and her secretary stayed with her and drank on her behalf.The party was a success. Kaze held a glass of wine to sip in a corner. Snow’s brilliance was the assurance he needed. He did not have to worry about her leading the Frosts now. “I guess I was worried about nothing. I didn’t even have to be here. She has gotten everything covered.” Kaze was concerned about Snow because she had always been his assistant. He was apprehensive that Snow would have no control over her staff after her promotion. He even asked the Viper’s Den to lend a hand. Nevertheless, Snow did not let him down. She had done a great job. Kaze drank wine and enjoyed the music. Soon, men and women entered the

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3710 Was Kaze Behind It?

    Aloysius looked at the business venture at hand with a mix of emotions. Jet was supposed to make a comeback with the project, but the defeat was a huge slap to his face. “Can I ask whether Kaze was behind this?” Aloysius braced himself to ask the question. Even though Aloysius had an inkling, he feared receiving confirmation of his suspicion. “Chairman Lee helped me. If Jet hadn’t hurt my mother, I wouldn’t have rushed back to take his place. “He did this to himself,” Snow said blatantly. “How did you know about the island project? We have been discreet about it.” Aloysius was eager to find out. The question would burn on his mind unless he got some answers. “You can’t keep anything from the Viper’s Den, but this is the end of the matter. If you’re interested in the project, I can put you in charge of it.” Snow could not be bothered to explain herself. Aloysius played it smart. He had been carrying out Snow’s orders without a hitch. Snow was happy to honor her prom

    “Tell them that the company is expecting funding, and all the projects will be launched in a few days. Everything will be back on track. It’s a good thing that the higher management is gone. We will be opening the positions for internal employees to apply.” Snow got the right solution to handle the situation. She had to give these employees hope to gain their dedication in return. Aloysius was surprised. “Who would pour money in when our finances are in a mess?” Having worked with Jet, Aloysius had a good understanding of the company’s ins and outs. Several business ventures were up in the air, and the company was bleeding money. Even with a relaunch, these projects would not bring in much of a profit. Most importantly, the relaunch had to be backed up by some funding. The business got a loan from the Viper’s Den. If payment was not made in time, the company’s shares would be used to make up for the loss. The whole thing spelled trouble. Snow just joined the company.

    “This is the financial report you submitted today. Any intern can do a better job than you.” Snow mocked Jack. She was disappointed in his performance. A finance director who could not even get his basics right should not be working in finance in the first place. “Who do you think you are, doing this to us?” The others are only out to save their own asses. They did not sympathize with Jack. “I’m sure you are well aware of what you have done.” “You’re on your phone all day at work. You put your daily expenses on the company card, and we’re talking about tens of thousands of dollars a month. You only bought stuff for your personal use. “Let’s not forget about you. Your so-called business trips are to take your mistress out for expensive hotel stays and vacations.” Snow looked at each one of them while detailing their deeds. She shamed them in public, utterly humiliating them. “Why were these allowed before? Why are you stopping these practices now? If you can change
