Even though Jean had confessed that she was set up by the Hanser family to frame Darcy, Darcy knew that her uncle and cousins must have had a hand in it. Without their involvement, it was impossible for the Hanser family to forge the documents. Darcy was disappointed in her uncle and cousins. Since they had never accepted her as family, there was no need for her to show them any compassion. This time, she did not need Kaze to be the bad guy. She called Bruno, the CEO of Heavensward Group, and said coldly, “Mr. Bandino, there are trespassers on my property. Please send security over to my house and take them away!” Rudy and his family were shocked. Infuriated, Karen shouted, “Darcy, how dare you call the guards to throw us out!?” “Darcy, I am your uncle, she’s your aunt! How can you throw us out?” Rudy bellowed. Darcy said nothing with a cold face in response to her uncle and aunt’s shout. She did not like raising her voice. She preferred to prove herself with real ac
The threat Deborah left behind lingered in Agnes’ mind. Rudy’s family turned cocky once in power. They would certainly throw their weight around the family. Darcy did not take her mother’s words seriously. Instead, she frowned. “So, the Hansers acquired the Passion Fragrance District project.” Kaze, upon returning from causing a scene at the housing department, told Darcy the Hansers were plotting to steal Quintessential Group.Fortunately, Kaze got Johnson, the mayor, on his side and foiled the Hansers’ plan. Yet, the Hansers refused to give up and came back with a vengeance. This time, they succeeded. Darcy pulled out her phone to give Logan a call. “Aren’t you under investigation, Darcy? Why are you calling me?” Logan did not want to take Darcy’s call because she was the last person he wanted to see right now. Still, he could not resist the curiosity and surprise, so he took the call. “The case is overturned. Johnson told Ned to testify for me.” Disheartened an
“Since your case is thrown out, you should run the company again, Ms. Quint. We are waiting for you to set things right so that we can come back to work for you.” Fish, the sales manager of the Passion Fragrance District project, expressed the thoughts of many resigned senior executives and employees. Only a handful were fired by Rudy and Samus. Most of them walked out on their own. Following Darcy’s arrest and Rudy’s return to power, they saw no hope in the company. Even though they would get a better job offer for quitting before getting a job lined up, they resigned without hesitation. As Rudy and Samus contributed nothing to the company, the employees would be wasting their time expecting a career with Quintessential Group. Darcy learned from Fish that the Hansers took over the Passion Fragrance District worksite the moment she was taken away into custody. The project manager and chief engineer were replaced by the Hansers’ people. The sales team Fish put togethe
Kaze knew what was on Johnson’s mind. Johnson put his career and everything on the line for Kaze because Kaze was the God of War. Johnson believed he could turn his family’s and his fortune around by getting in Kaze’s good graces. Hence, he worked hard to please Kaze. The moment Darcy was taken into custody, Johnson called Kaze before the latter did so, expressing that he was working to get Darcy out. However, Miru would never believe that story. In fact, Agnes and the rest of the family would think Kaze was just tooting his horn. Kaze was not bothered to explain, and a call from Snow happened to come in. He went out to take the call. “What’s up?” Kaze asked. Snow replied, “Mr. Chairman, I have found records of Liben’s and the others’ misconduct while they were working for Lilyrose Bank. What do you want to do with the information?” Ever since Johnson hired Snow as the chairman of Lilyrose Bank, she got straight to digging dirt on Liben and his friends when they wo
Darcy believed Agnes went too far, so she said angrily, “We didn’t do anything wrong, Mom. Why should Kaze apologize? Besides, Kaze convinced Joy to testify. The case will close soon enough.” “Why are you still defending him?” Agnes snapped back. “The Hansers nearly had you behind bars. It won’t be a bed of roses now that you crossed the top three families. Are you going to make us worry about you? It won’t kill him to apologize for once.” Darcy wanted to argue, but Kaze stopped her. He looked at Miru and said with a smirk, “Set up the meeting, Miru. We’ll see who’s the one apologizing then.” Kaze had enough of Miru. It was time to show the woman what he was made of, so she would quit looking down on him. “Not even a thank-you. Geez.” Miru scoffed. If it were not for Darcy, Kaze’s attitude would have pushed Miru to wash her hands over the matter. She did not take Kaze seriously. The dimwit was just stubborn because of his ego. “Leo, contact Liben, the director of
“I don’t trust you when you say it.” Leo might be intimidating to others, but Kaze felt nothing. “What’s with your attitude when you’re the one asking for help? Do you think I wouldn’t hit you?” Leo grimaced and decided to teach Kaze a lesson. “Who asked for your help?” Kaze side-eyed him. Miru thought she knew better and dragged him along to apologize to Liben. Kaze could not fall out with Miru because she was Darcy’s best friend. However, Kaze did not have to extend the same courtesy to Leo. Leo’s raised hand froze mid-air. All Kaze did was look at him offhandedly, and Leo had chills creeping down his spine. He felt as if a mysterious force was pulling his arm back from launching at Kaze. It was a hair-raising moment for Leo. He had a feeling that he would die if he were to pull the punch. “Stop, Leo. Are you trying to kill him?” Miru yelled. Although she could not stand Kaze, she could not allow Leo to kill Kaze under her watch. As a professional fighter, L
“Kaze, it’s your fault for breaking Liben’s legs and forcing alcohol down his throat that he’s in the ICU for alcohol poisoning. He nearly died.“If Lefteria Group hadn’t tried to talk things out with Liben and the other two, they would never stop until they ruin your family.” Thinking she knew better, Miru tried to talk sense into Kaze. Miru wanted Kaze to drop the ego act for the greater good. However, her disdain did not sit well with Kaze. His pride had no value to her. The lift opened on the sixth floor. “As I said, we won’t know who will be apologizing later.” Kaze did not even look at Miru. He gave his response and walked out of the lift without looking back. “Hmph! Ingrate.” Miru nearly stormed off. She was sick and tired of Kaze, who was a loser. What was wrong with apologizing to save his wife? If it were not for Darcy, Miru could care less whether he died. Leo stared at Kaze’s back and said coldly, “The guy doesn’t respect you, cupcake. I’ll sort him
Liben and the other two were taken into custody, screaming in tears. They had done their share of misconduct while working for Lilyrose Bank which called for jail time. “Kaze, why were Liben and his friends pleading with you when they were arrested?” On the way down, Miru asked Kaze to get an answer. She was still in disbelief although she saw Liben and the others begging Kaze for mercy with her own eyes. “I told Snow to dig into their dirt and arrest them. I call the shots, so of course, they are going to beg me for mercy.” Kaze told her the truth to show Miru what he was made of. “I can’t believe Snow would listen to you.” Miru was even more surprised. She knew Snow was the assistant to the chairman of Perfect World Group. Johnson elected Snow as the chairman of Lilyrose Bank after the resolution of Quintessential Group’s loan crisis. Could Kaze be the elusive chairman of Perfect World Group? Miru refused to believe that fact. Leo scowled at Miru’s reaction.
