“It’s too late to change your mind now, Ryan. No one can save you now that you got on Mr. Golding’s nerves,” Rei said gloatingly. Ryan uttered angrily, “I don’t believe I have ever done anything to you during our marriage, Rei. Why do you hate me?” “You did not give me a life of luxury because you refused to give up the patents to the top three families, and that’s the worst thing you could ever do to me,” Rei shouted in rage. Ryan clenched his jaw without a word. There went his last hope to ever rekindle their relationship. “Do you regret it now, Mr. White?” Not forgetting the slap yesterday, Zach looked at Kaze and mocked. “Kneel before me and slap yourself a hundred times. I might just plead with Mr. Golding to make it less miserable for you.” Kaze gave him a sympathetic look. Without a peep, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “You can make the arrest now.” Kaze then ended the call. “Why are you still keeping up with the act, loser? I hope you don’t think
“Charged for wrecking the marriage of a serviceman? Who?” Zach and Rei were dumbfounded. They could accept fault for having an extramarital affair and illegal cohabitation. They would not be charged for such behavior anyway. However, breaking the sacred vow of marriage with an active-duty military personnel was a crime. Zach soon realized what was going on. He cocked his head and gave Ryan an angry look. “Bastard, you created a fake identity to pin a crime on us!“I bet Kaze, the imposter, taught you that.” The first thing that came to mind was that Kaze guided Ryan to fabricate a military identity. Rei cried out loud, “Officer, Ryan is not in the military. He must have lied to you.” “We have verified that Mr. Waker is one of us,” the superior of the military squad uttered indifferently. “No way. Ryan broke his leg two years ago. The loser couldn’t possibly serve in the army. He must have created a fake military persona. Please review your database again,” Rei shouted
Kaze could not possibly forgive the things Zach, Aster, and the others had done on James’ behalf. Zach’s group, Frank, and the top three families would receive their deserving punishment tomorrow. Amid Rei’s wails, she and Zach were taken away. “You might win this time, but this is not over, Kaze.” Frank glared at Kaze before walking away. He was frustrated. Not only did Frank fail to acquire the technology from Ryan, but Kaze managed to get away scot-free too. There was one more thing Frank was alarmed about. Kaze was just a scamming loser. How was he able to give Ryan a military rank in the army in a matter of one night? Frank could not wrap his head around it. Now that he thought about it, Kaze had demonstrated strong ties to the military during the few times the top three families were in conflict with Jesse White. Frank was shocked. “Hold it right there. Did I say you can leave?” Kaze’s icy voice was heard when Frank turned around to leave. Frank turned b
“Argh!” Frank screamed in agony. Moments later, Frank passed out from the pain. “I break your legs to return the favor of what you did to Ryan. I’ll make you pay for James’ death tomorrow.” Kaze glanced at the stunned bodyguards. “Send him back to his family and tell the top three families that they have one day left.” The hired guns carried Frank away without a word. Don saluted Kaze before leaving with his men. The café became empty with Kaze and Ryan still standing. Ryan turned around and nodded at Kaze sincerely. “Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. Mr. White can finally rest in peace.” He finally believed that Kaze had the ability to punish the top three families and clear James’ name. That was not the only thing. Ryan was given the chance to get even with the cheating couple. When they returned upstairs, Winnie broke out in tears of joy upon learning the whole story from Ryan. Winnie was pleased to hear that karma hit Frank, and he was now crippled. It
“We have testament from the bodyguards that Ryan became a senior researcher at the defense technology laboratory, so it must be true.“Jesse’s connections to the military run deeper than we thought.“He seems to have access to the laboratory functioning directly under Lilyrose Strategic Department.” The three family heads expressed their horror. They regretted their actions more than ever. The family heads knew a long time ago that Jesse had influence in the military. Had they known, they would not have given instructions to Lilyrose Logistics to steal the equipment. With Howard arrested, the top three families’ businesses in freight and shipping would experience a major shakeout. They would suffer massive losses and have reduced control over the city. “It’s too late to turn back time. It’s not like Jesse will go easy on us if we choose not to go against Shangrila Group,” Belarus remarked. The other two nodded in agreement. Jesse re-established Shangrila Group to get
Did Nelson just say that the inauguration had been brought forward to tomorrow? The ceremony would be held at the Jade Estate too. Belarus was not the only one dumbfounded. The news came out of nowhere for Flint and Edward too. Just a moment ago, they were whining about Albert’s inauguration not being sooner. The next thing they knew, Albert somehow made their wish come true. Good luck could not come at a better time. The three family heads were ecstatic, to say the least. “Mr. Oceanid, please let Chief Commander Hiden know that…” Thrilled, Belarus added, “The Chapmans will get everything ready for tomorrow’s inauguration. Chief Commander Hiden will feel welcomed and right at home when he arrives at the estate tomorrow.” Jesse had the nerve to declare that he would make the Chapmans move out of the Jade Estate and repent their sins to James. Even Albert was having the inauguration at the Jade Estate. Now, the top three families were untouchable. “I need to add tha
It was all because of Kaze’s blabbermouth. Nelson had to handwrite the privacy policy two hundred times yesterday. His hand was still sore. He would be glad to see the top three families go after Kaze. He was not the least bit interested in helping at all. “You’re right. We have no right to try and make things right with the major families or ask for their forgiveness,” Agnes said with an ingratiating smile. “The top three families only invited my family. We can’t bring just anybody to such a sophisticated luncheon.” Nelson pulled a long face. Agatha felt bad to see Agatha put in a spot. “Nelson, this is for my sister. Please see what you can do. Why don’t you call and ask the top three families? They might just say yes.” “That’s right, Dad. Please help Kaze.” Rose took Nelson’s arm and snuggled up to him. “Fine, I’ll call them.” Unable to say no to his wife and daughter, Nelson gave Belarus a call. Nelson expressed his wish to bring a few relatives to the lunch
“Welcome, Mr. Oceanid.” Upon learning of the arrival of Nelson’s family, the three family heads greeted them at the entrance with their families. Nelson was given the highest honor. Flattered, Nelson said, “This is my family. They are…” He proceeded to introduce his family. The three family heads were great hosts. In the end, Nelson patiently introduced Kaze. “The last guy here is Kaze. He’s the husband of my niece—” “Kaze?” The three family heads became livid. “How dare you show your face here!” Belarus glared at Kaze with clenched teeth. It was clear in his ferocious eyes that Belarus wanted to rip Kaze apart with his bare hands. The other two family heads pretty much shared the same sentiment. Color washed off the complexions of Nelson’s family and Darcy’s family. No one would have thought that the three family heads’ resentment toward Kaze was beyond repair. Nelson shot an angry look at Kaze, regretting his decision to bring him along. He should not
