Guardian-In-Law Chapter 465 Humanity
“Sir!” Albert lifted his chest and looked up, saluting respectfully. The training he received during Kaze’s special training camp became a habit for him. Kaze waved his hand at him. “At ease. We are talking about private matters now.” “Yes, sir!” Albert relaxed himself and said, “Miru is my cousin. She’s actually the daughter of the head of the family. After her mother passed, her father married another woman and she was unhappy with it. She and her father had a fallout and excommunicated herself from the family. She even changed her family name to distinguish herself from the family.” From the moment Miru left the Hiden family, she erased her name from their books and changed her name, hence cutting off all ties with her past and the family she disliked. Miru’s encounter was slightly similar to Kaze's. “I didn’t expect her to have such a humane side.” Kaze started to view Miru differently. He too was excommunicated from the Lee family, but Miru did it on her own.
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 466 Suspicion
Shane shuddered in fear. Quaking in his boots, he said, “I won’t get up until you tell me to, Mr. Lee.” He was trying to get in Kaze’s good graces. Kaze scoffed in disdain. “Get up.” Shane rose to his feet shakily. Struck by an idea, he said ingratiatingly, “Mr. Lee, there’s one more thing I need to report to you about Lefteria Group.” “Speak,” Kaze uttered with a blank face. Shane responded, “On the night before Alan was poisoned to death, Dr. Anemo, the South River State’s top doctor, met him in Lilyrose. “Dr. Anemo disappeared when Alan died.“My guess is, Dr. Anemo might be sent by Cronus.” Shane smiled grovelingly at Kaze. He knew that Kaze would make those who set him up pay. Hence, Shane provided an important clue that was useful to Kaze. That way, he might obtain Kaze’s forgiveness and even befriend him. Shane believed he could be of service to Kaze. Nevertheless, Shane soon realized that Kaze simply smiled sarcastically at him. Kaze looked like he
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 467 Miru’s Taken Away
“Miru, Leo has shown concrete proof that you’re the mole in Lefteria Group. What do you have to say for yourself?” As Miru got out of the car, Jeremiah raised his sword. Miru took her time to close the door before turning to Jeremiah. “The chief commander of Lilyrose Strategic Department lived next door to Horizon Mirror Mansion, Jeremiah.” She calmly added, “The twenty assassins sent here by Sieg were killed.“You’re not doing yourself any favors by killing me here.” Miru did not want to die. Besides, she refused to take the fall for Leo. That was not the way to leave the world. Miru spilled the information after getting out of the car. She intended to discourage Jeremiah from killing her on the spot. So long as Jeremiah paused on the attack, she would have time to persuade him and clear the air. Jeremiah frowned. He glanced at the gate of Horizon Mirror Mansion and picked up a faint stench of blood in the air. Sure enough, he put down his sword and said with a bl
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 468 Divorce
When Kaze got the call from Agnes, he had just stepped foot into Draco’s residence next door. He was happy. Agnes called him personally to tell him to come home. He thought that Agnes was no longer mad at him. Kaze rushed over from next door. “I’m back, Agnes. Have you eaten? I can cook if you haven’t,” Kaze said cheerfully and greeted Agatha’s family. Alas, Agatha’s family did not give him the time of the day. “We’re not eating anything. You and Darcy are heading to the family court, and I’m going with you.” Agnes took the stairs with a file in hand. She shoved the file in Kaze’s hand. Darcy asked in confusion, “Why are we going to the family court?” Kaze pulled a long face without a word. Agnes’ intention was made clear when he saw their marriage licenses, proof of residency, and forms in the file. He received an update from Snow about Lefteria Group soon after his return to Lilyrose, so he could understand Agnes’ motivation behind it. “What else? It’s time to f
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 469 Kiev’s in a Rush
Kaze found it embarrassing to get his assistant involved in a personal affair. Snow had the makings of a great assistant because she did not express an opinion. She said, “Got it, Mr. Chairman.” Kaze’s phone received a call seconds later. It was from Johnson. “Do you want the family court closed to delay time, Mr. Lee?” “That’s right.” “I have an idea. A new law introducing a mandatory waiting period is about to go into effect. It will require a one-month wait after filing for divorce before it can be finalized.“But the new regulation only starts next year. We are months away. Given your influence, you could request the expedited implementation of the new law.”The suggestion sounded reliable to Kaze. The mandatory waiting period could be a good thing for him. He might be able to save himself this time, but Agnes would still insist they get a divorce. The one-month waiting period addressed his problems. Kaze said happily, “Get Draco to contact the God of War Palace.
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 470 A Priority
“What are you trying to say, Kaze?” Kiev scowled. Kaze smiled pretentiously. “My wife and I are filing for divorce. Why the need to rush here when it doesn’t concern you? Are you here to see my wife cry?” “Don’t make that false accusation. I’d never make fun of Darcy.” Kiev glanced at Darcy, who suffered in silence, and denied that fact. “If that isn’t your motive, why are you here?” “I rush over to say something on behalf of Darcy.” Kiev smiled victoriously and said, “May you find happiness in your new life.” He believed those words marked the perfect end to their marriage. “I have something to say to you too, Kiev.” Kaze grinned. “Do tell,” Kiev responded. Either way, Kaze could not stop his marriage from ending today. Kaze said indifferently, “The divorce is not happening.” Kiev was taken aback at first, but he quickly let out a sneer. “Are you kidding me, Kaze? You and Darcy are in the family court now.” He pointed at the counter. “They filed for divo
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 471 An Update
“Are you alright, Mr. Braders?” With Caesar kneeling for no reason, everybody went to help him up. Kiev said, “Are you unwell from the travel here, Mr. Braders? Why don’t you take a break before getting down to business? The divorce proceedings aren't urgent.” “Um… Uh… Um…” Caesar looked at Kaze in terror and helplessness. Fear got a grip on his throat. “Do you know him, Mr. Braders?” Kiev frowned. The way Caesar looked at Kaze was strange to Kiev. Kiev glanced at Kaze skeptically but could not figure out Caesar’s reaction. Kaze was a nobody, and Kiev had no doubt about it. “Oh, we have met.” Since Kaze would not give Caesar any attention, Caesar did not want to overstep his boundaries and answered vaguely. He broke out in a cold sweat. So they had met before, and that was all that happened. Not reading into the matter, Kiev said, “You can just tell your employees to process the divorce while you take a break, Mr. Braders.” “Erm…” With Kiev clinging to the
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 472 The Country Won’t Let Us Divorce
“What’s the update?” Caesar was dumbfounded. In matters beyond family law, the country’s administration held ultimate authority.If it was an update to the legislation, the order would not reach Lilyrose family court yet. It could only mean that the update was important and urgent. “The mandatory waiting period for filing a divorce was supposed to be introduced in the new year.” The employee added with a shocked look, “We got word from the administration that the rule will take effect right away.” “A mandatory waiting period? What is that?” Agnes and the others were stunned. “Mrs. Quint, in other words, we don’t process the filing of divorce right away anymore. They can file, but the divorce will only be finalized after a month.” While talking, Caesar stole a glance at Kaze. He could not read anything on Kaze’s face. However, Caesar had his suspicions that the new law came into effect ahead of time because of Kaze. Kaze’s words were the law, literally speaking.

Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3722 May’s Back
“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
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3718 For Your Own Good
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
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3716 Rescue
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
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3715 The Duncans Mean Squat
“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
