Kaze’s words were met with scoffs. Agnes and Hector, aside from the Quints, had no faith in Kaze. The Quints were helpless against the Hansers’ meticulously crafted plan. It was not as if Kaze, a good-for-nothing, could accomplish anything. “If you’re able to demand the complex back, I’ll jump off the building.” “You’re just here to gloat because our family is in trouble. Even at our worst, we won’t put up with your arrogance. You’re just a dummy who took our family name.” “The loser’s up to no good. He must be trying to pull the same scam as Vincent to con the last 100 million dollars out of us.” The Quints sneered. The dimwit was delusional to think he could scam money like Vincent. Vincent had the support of the Hansers to pull the elaborate scam on the Quints, but Kaze had nothing. “Scam your money? Why would I be bothered to?” Faced with jeers, Kaze smirked. “I’m only getting the assets back from the Hansers for my wife’s sake. I don’t care what happens to y
“Shut up, Sky!” Agnes cut Sky off with a glare. “I’m warning you, Kaze. Stop giving our family problems!” Kaze was not in the position to refuse with Agnes narrowing her eyes at him. He nodded to get her off his case. “Alright, Agnes. I heard you loud and clear.” Agnes scoffed and got into the car. Darcy was not so easily fooled. “Just listen to Mom, Kaze. Don’t go to the Hansers. I’ll try to figure something out and get a lawyer’s advice. Maybe the law will be on our side. We can make other plans if we can’t get the assets back.” She did not carry much hope. The Hansers were rich and powerful, so they would have a family attorney who had covered all their bases in legality. Taking them to court would be time-consuming. It might be a year or so before a verdict was out, and by then, the assets would be gone. Kaze said, “Do you really want me to stay out of it, babe? The opening day of the Passion Fragrance District project is this afternoon. Don’t you want to stop t
“Bernard Vikrom, you old horse! Since when did the Hansers owe the Vikroms money? My birthday event is over and you are causing problems?” Liam was furious when Bernard asked him to pay the money back. Liam and Bernard were never on good terms, and Liam believed the man was here to cause trouble. The man even picked his birthday to cause a scene to disgust him. “You still have the nerves to hold a birthday event? Liam Hanser, if you don’t pay us back, you will be having not a birthday but a funeral today!” Bernard widened his eyes and added, “The Vikroms lent eighty-five million to the Quints’ property to help them repay their loans. We have an agreement and it’s all in writing! You can’t escape this! “Now that Quartet Group had acquired Quintessential Group’s property company, legally, you would have inherited their debts as well.” Liam widened his eyes in disbelief. “Bernard Vikrom, watch your mouth! Quartet Group doesn’t belong to the Hansers! Don’t slander us!” He
Liam originally thought he could brush off Bernard with some money but it turned out that he had poked the hornet’s nest. A number of people demanded more than two billion from his family. The Hansers just got around the same amount from Quintessential Group. They could still afford to pay them all back, but Liam did not want to lose the money he had just acquired. “Nonsense! If Quintessential Group owes you money, go ask for the money from them!” He added, “Quintessential Group’s property company and its assets are sold to Quartet Group. It’s their problem now. This has nothing to do with the Hansers!” The Hansers had almost drained Quintessential Group dry but they did not mind getting rid of the company once and for all. Liam had no scruples to shift the responsibility back to Quintessential Group. “The Hansers had drained Quintessential Group dry! If they can pay us, why would we come to you?” “You have the money! You must pay us back even if you don’t want to!” “
Not a single bank was willing to lend money to the Hansers, and they did not even want to negotiate. “What is happening? We didn’t offend the banks, why are they not helping? It’s as if they had ganged up against us!” A great shadow loomed over the Hansers and fear started to spread. “Could it be related to the one we offended?” Liam murmured with clenched teeth. His hands were shaking. After Bernard and more than twenty debtors left, the banks cut the Hansers off. The Hansers had gloated at Quintessential Group when they faced a financial crisis previously. Now that they experienced it themselves, they were devastated. Soon, Liam received news. It was Snow, the chairwoman of Lilyrose Bank, who released an order to all bank directors to boycott the Hansers, cutting them off completely. “Grandpa, what are we going to do? The pre-sale is starting and we are cut off…” The Hansers were anxious. They all looked at Liam, waiting for further instructions. “Pre-sale? Forget
Mathias was here to return the debt of gratitude. Kaze once requested the Queens to purchase Taurus Automobiles for him as a gift. Matthias talked to his family but his family declined it. Even though the Queens had money, it was their hard-earned money. They could not satisfy Kaze’s request of more than a hundred million and it was at that moment that the Queens realized how greedy Kaze was. They wanted nothing to do with him. Therefore, the Queens told Mathias to stay in Lilyrose to return the debt of gratitude so that they could cut ties with him once and for all. When he heard about the Quints’ situation, Mathias knew it was a great chance to repay Kaze, so he came over immediately. The Quints were overwhelmed to see Mathias. The young master of a wealthy family came to them with a helping hand. How amazing! “Mr. Queen, really? Are you going to help us with anything?” Master Quint asked excitedly. Mathias was disgusted by Master Quint’s less courteous request.
“Kaze visited me at the hospital. Do you want to see him, Mr. Queen? I’ll call him over immediately,” Master Quint said. “It’s okay. I’ll contact him myself.” Mathias was fed up with Master Quint and the Quints’ flattery. He quickly left the mansion. Master Quint watched as Mathias disappeared beyond his sight. He then regained his composure and sighed. “Who would have thought it was Kaze who saved us.” He had mixed feelings and he believed it was time to view Darcy and her family differently. Now that Kaze had gotten close to the Queens of Butterworth, he was no longer the useless son-in-law. No wonder he sounded confident when he said he would make the Hansers return the company. They did not believe him at first, yet Mathias helped them get the company back with just one call. The others were jealous of Kaze. The idiot was extremely lucky to save the daughter of the Queens. After Mathias left Master Quint’s place, he contacted Kaze who was at the lawyer’s office
“What? Who do you think you are?!” Mathias took a deep breath to suppress his anger. He grunted heavily and left. For Sandy’s sake, he did not argue with Kaze. After he left the lawyer’s firm, Mathias called his uncle, the current head of the Queens and also Sandy’s father, Matthew. “Uncle Matthew, I’ve repaid Kaze. I’ll bring Sandy back to Butterworth today.” Mathias told his uncle what he did. Matthew grunted and said, “Nicely done, Mathias, but you can’t come back to Butterworth today.” “What? Why?” Mathias was confused. He wanted to stay in Lilyrose because Snow lived in this city. Unfortunately, the woman he adored did not care about him and focused on taking care of the chairman’s trivial matter, willingly. Mathias did not feel good watching Snow humble herself like that, so he wanted to go back to Butterworth. Matthew said, “I think you’ve heard of Albert Hiden, the new chief commander of South River State, right? His inauguration ceremony will be held in L
