Guardian-In-Law Chapter 359 Cake in the Face
Everybody in the room except Sophie taunted Kaze. Even when Kaze drove a Ferrari 488 to attend the party, the group interpreted it as Kaze showing off. It slipped their minds that Kaze made no mention of it the whole time. That was not their concern anyway. They wanted to humiliate him to ease their awkwardness. Faced with harsh criticisms, Kaze remained unfazed. He kept a smile on his face. Kaze watched them like they were clowns in a circus. They were oblivious that Kaze could not be bothered to stoop to their level. The group took Kaze’s silence as a sign that he was overwhelmed by the mockery and had nothing to say for himself. They believed he was a loser. “Don’t forget that we have gathered here today to celebrate Megan’s birthday. We got a cake for her. Come and enjoy it,” one senior executive said. Soon, he and another friend pushed a cart over with a candle-lit three-tier cake on it. Megan made a wish and blew out the candles as everybody watched on.

Kaze wiped the cream and cake bits off his face in silence. He was not the type to take the humiliation lying down. It had crossed Kaze’s mind to retaliate against Megan and the other executives. None of the close to twenty in the room would survive the blow. Nevertheless, he put down his hand when Megan explained the motivation behind the humiliation. Megan and the others were making him pay for ruining Shangrila Group. They were acting out on the anger and resentment that gnawed for two years. If that was the sole reason, Kaze could consider a lighter punishment for these people tomorrow. It would still be a consequence that Megan and others could not bear though.“You got your payback. I should get going.” Kaze walked out. “Hold it right there. Who said you could leave?” Gino and another male associate stood in his way, staring him down. Megan scoffed. “You’re naïve to think that this is over.” “What else do you want?” Kaze stopped in his tracks and tur
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 361 Fired
“Ms. Pamela, when Mr. White moved the company back to Lilyrose, you were just a fresh grad looking for a job. He took you in even when you didn’t have related work experience and he helped you a lot in your career. How can you just forget about that? “When Mr. White’s wife, Winnie, was pregnant, you tried to seduce Mr. White but got turned down. Mr. White showed you mercy because you were still young and transferred you to another branch so that his wife wouldn’t suspect anything. He saved your career as well! How could you forget that?!” Megan’s expression turned grim as she glared at Sophie who fired shots like a machine gun. Her dark past was displayed on the table, exposed for everyone to see and hear, yet she had no words to argue back. Sophie then switched her attention to Gino. “Mr. Hebrew, you were one of the pioneers of the company but we all know you were not capable enough to keep up with the company’s expansion, yet you still embezzled money from the company. “M

Sophie was no one and she could not possibly threaten Megan and the other executives. Megan and the other executives focused their firepower on Kaze after they got rid of Sophie. “Kaze Lee, you piece of useless garbage! Listen up! If you dare to set foot in our company, I’ll ask security to throw you out!” “If you get an arm or a leg broken in the process, don’t blame me.” Even the security chief, Carlos, who barely had any power in the company, joined the rest in threatening Kaze. Insulting Kaze and preventing him from entering the company was the main objective of Megan and the other executives. There were only so many executive positions in the company. If Kaze became the COO, he would hinder more than one person’s career. Kaze was quiet as Megan and the rest ganged up on him. They took his silence as their victory. “That’s what we have to say and you better take our words seriously. Or else, we are business elites who have multiple powerful resources and we have m
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 363 Darcy Blames Herself
“Mom, stop it!” Darcy shouted to stop her mother from berating Kaze. “You stupid girl! I scolded him for your sake and you shouted at me? Look at how cowardly he is in the video! He’s nothing like a man!” Agnes yelled back with widened eyes. Darcy said, “Kaze had gotten himself in a lot of trouble because of me. If he fought back and hurt someone, like what happened to Liben Radar, you would scold him for causing trouble for our family. No matter what he does, you just have a reason to scold him!” She had an epiphany.Kaze did not fight or talk back because they were bullying him, not her. If she was the target, Kaze would have fought back. She did not see Kaze as a coward. He simply did not want to cause trouble for the family. Kaze’s tolerance of the bullies and her mother’s scolding made Darcy feel bad. “You! How dare you talk back to me!” Agnes was furious. “Mother, Darcy isn’t trying to blame you. I know you are scolding me for my own good. You just don’t want to
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 364 The Executive Meeting
“She’s not married. What’s wrong with sleeping with a man? It's a private affair. The company can’t meddle with her personal life.” “But that guy is someone with a mental disability and spent a few years in a psych ward. He’s the son-in-law of the Quint family!” “No way. Sophie has that kind of fetish? She’s into a retard?” “Sophie is here! Shhh!” Sophie heard her colleagues talking about her when she entered the HR department. They zipped it when she arrived but continued to look at her strangely. Some looked at her coldly while some with contempt, but most of them gloated at her. Sophie felt anxious, surrounded by unfriendly looks that fueled her anger. She did not expect Megan to fabricate a story to slander her and Kaze. The fake story had already started to circulate in the office. Megan wanted to tarnish Sophie’s reputation even after she was fired. Sophie was fuming. Her lips were shaking as she tried to argue but she suppressed the urge. The more she exp
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 365 I Grant Her the Power
Winnie dressed up in branded clothes, giving her an entirely different image from when she was a full-time housewife. She smiled and said, “Of course. The chairman will be here soon.” “Oh!” The executives were delighted. They respected and were grateful for the mysterious chairman who brought them back to rebuild Shangrila Group. Surprised, Megan straightened her body. Compared to her current position, she preferred to be the chairman’s assistant, that was if she could get the chairman’s attention. It was the fastest way to rise in the ranks. She glanced at all the other executives and no one was as young and beautiful as she was, so she believed she would stand out. More than a hundred pairs of eager eyes were glued to the door behind Winnie. The chairman’s office was an independent space and it was connected directly to the meeting room via a personal passage. The chairman would surely enter from that door. Creek! Under everyone’s anticipated gaze, the door
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 366 Fire All
Winnie’s words and actions shocked everyone in the meeting room like a bolt of lightning. Everyone in the meeting room was petrified. “W-What? This retard is the chairman?!” “The chairman’s name is Jesse White!” Megan, Gino, and the other executives who attended the birthday event last night were shocked and aggrieved. They did not hold back in humiliating Kaze last night. If Kaze was the real Jesse White, then none of them could escape the responsibility. “Jesse White is just an alias the chairman uses. He used another identity as a cover to avoid those who hurt James and Shangrila Group so that he could announce the return of the company with a bang,” Winnie explained. Winne’s explanation crushed everyone’s hope. “No!” Megan’s mind went blank. Her delicate face turned pale as paper. Gino got so agitated and worked up that his face turned a deep shade of crimson. The pressure overwhelmed him. He felt a rushing stream and a salty taste in his throat. Splat! Bl

“Just tell me what you need, Arthur. You wouldn’t be calling unless you have received orders.” Philip was surprised to get a call from Arthur. Though they were acquainted, they had only communicated because of work. “We have just left Rising Sun. Don’t approve the films for now.” Arthur was blunt. “I can do that, but can I ask why?” Philip was caught in a dilemma because he had just promised Jet to release the films. Philip needed to know if the orders to delay came from a high power who could cover his ass. “Since you got a call from me, you should know that there are eyes on Jet. “You should know what you can and cannot say. Otherwise, you never know when you’re going to lose your job.” Arthur threatened. Philip was reluctant. He accepted Jet’s payment, and now he had to go back on his word. Nevertheless, Arthur was part of the Viper’s Den, and his status was rather unique. Arthur provided services to confidential individuals. These individuals were elites among t
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3563 Trigger
A balanced, profitable dynamic had been developed among the ports in Butterworth. Jet spotted his chance in the lucrative port business. He covertly took out some money to invest in a dying port. The port was situated in a more remote area. Some businesspeople favored more accessible ports. This drove shippers away from the dying port. Jet snagged the steal and improved the logistics and facilities around the area. The port was up and running again. Business at the port was decent enough. As the Frosts would run their business through the port, the local economy took off too. It was a good thing. However, Jet set his sights on several residential buildings around the area. He needed space to accommodate containers. The land was required to make business at the port more profitable. This triggered a whole new thing. Jet could spend some money to buy the residents out of their homes. However, the residents preferred to stay put in their long-time homes. No a

“I’ll keep the bank cards for now. I’ll talk to our superiors and give you a decision. Since the man said that the cards are meant for us, they won’t be going anywhere.” Knox had no idea who Kaze was, but he knew Arthur was with the Viper’s Den. Arthur must be someone from high places. Eli soon put the little incident behind him. He got a call from Aloysius yesterday and was made aware of Jet’s plans. The films had been put on hold for far too long, and the people above Eli were anxious to get things moving. Though Eli was surprised by the review board’s visit, everything was still in his control. Eli left the matter at that without reporting the incident to the higher-ups. The flashy, red car sped along the road. Arthur kept looking back at Kaze, eager to find out about the next plan. Arthur brought Kaze out today to witness how Eli and his team operated. As it happened, Eli adopted such a shallow ploy. Arthur was not surprised, though. Eli’s methods were common.
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3561 Reconciliation
Eli dined offhandedly as if he had taken hold of the group. His words were layered with threat. “What? Are you trying to replace us?” Knox asked in disbelief. “I don’t have that power, but the investor does. I heard that he enjoyed dinner with your superiors. I’m sure the project will get the green light in no time. “Even if you didn’t approach me today, my team and I would have invited you out for a get-together.” Eli knew when to back down, easing the tension in the air. It was another type of reconciliation. Eli needed to go through the review board to get the rights to air the films. The carrot-and-stick approach was the best way forward. Kaze was surprised by the sophistication of Eli’s tactics. Still, he believed he had come to the right place. Sure enough, Jet would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. Surely, he was bound to leave loose ends. Nevertheless, he probably did not care. Arthur cocked his head back to look at Kaze. Kaze grinned, unbothered
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3560 Bring Something Back
The purpose of the visit was to inform Rising Sun that the films did not make the cut. Since Rising Sun would not make the necessary amendments, the project would come to a halt. “Please, don’t. Since we are all here, we should talk it out.” It took Eli quite some effort to get the group to the hotel. Eli had plans to please the crowd, so he could not let them leave just yet. This went beyond getting the green light for the films. Eli needed to make the group happy. “There is nothing more to talk about. We can’t proceed unless you make the changes.” There was no way around it. Since Rising Sun refused to make the right amendments, and Knox had orders about putting a hold on Rising Sun’s films, that was one less problem for Knox to deal with. Eli could not let the group walk out on him. Hence, he quickly sent people in. Several thinly clad women entered, each holding a small bag. Despite the weightlessness, the bag appeared to be carrying something of substance. “You

For that reason, Rising Sun’s film productions were not cleared to be aired. “I told you the reason. The investor supplied us with the scripts, and we were told to base our productions on the scripts. Our hands are tied.”Eli would have made the amendments if he could. He knew where the problem lay. However, the company had to take the investor’s perspective into consideration. In the end, the films were yet to be approved for release. “I guess you won’t get the permission to air them then.” Knox was surprised that Rising Sun would not budge on the matter. Nevertheless, Knox and his team were not there to give the all-clear or talk some sense into Rising Sun. Knox and his team could care less about what Eli had to say. “We’re serious about getting the approval. “I’m sorry that we aren’t a better host for your visit today. Why don’t we move to the nearby hotel for a talk?” With the review board making an appearance, Eli knew there was still hope. If Eli did not grab
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3558 Green Light
Arthur chuckled, his smile carrying a touch of sleaziness. “Oh, I see.” A realization dawned on Kaze. “Are you with quality control?” Several individuals in dark blue suits approached. The men and women carried files and documents. Kaze nodded without a word. “We are just here to announce the results. We shouldn’t be long.” Arthur came forward to engage with them. The group was likely given the heads-up as they had the right number of people. They swaggered into Rising Sun’s building. The general manager straightened up his tie in a fluster and walked out. None of the film productions made the cut yet, and the delay was costing the company money by the day. At this rate, the project would go down under. Eli, the general manager, rushed to the entrance upon learning the news. The review team was there to do one final check. The films would get the green light if the board found that everything was up to par. The head office would stop putting pressure on
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3557 A Bit Much
Given Kaze’s status, Alfonso knew better than to have him waiting under the hot sun. Of course, he would send his people to be on standby for Kaze’s arrival. Peter only came to the rescue when Kaze was pestered by some street gang. Alfonso’s omission of Kaze’s identity led to this hiccup. Kaze did not care one bit about the incident. Heck, he did not even bring it up. Arthur straightened his back nervously, becoming even more cautious behind the wheel. “You knew, but why didn’t you say anything, Mr. Lee? You didn’t even tell on us.” Arthur could not understand why. However, he had more respect for the man. “I didn’t see a point. You’ll learn what happens when you displease me, so I won’t bother telling you now.” Kaze was mild-mannered as ever. He spoke softly without a hint of anger. All the more Arthur revered him. “Mr. Lee, we didn’t do our jobs right. We didn’t know who you were.“But my duty is to protect you in the dark. “We saw you getting out of the train
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3556 Rising Sun
“Rising Sun is a media company. Several of their films are about to be released. They are trying to get them approved to air due to some censorship issues.” Arthur took out a document. “Are there any issues with the films? Why aren’t they approved yet?” Kaze asked curiously. Kaze had no idea. “There are some issues. They aren’t fit to be aired. “Typically, there aren’t a lot of restrictions for film productions so long as the themes aren’t sensitive topics. “But these films featured altered history. The company has been asked multiple times to make revisions, but the films still don’t make the cut.” The Viper’s Den’s members were not privy to the information. The Frosts were insignificant. Kaze was after the Frosts. Otherwise, the Viper’s Den would not waste its resources on a mere film production company. Jet’s investment of nearly ten million bucks in Rising Sun caught the Viper’s Den’s attention. The delayed approval of the films would be catastrophic to the in
