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
“Kaze, you can’t atone your sin even if you serve my family for a lifetime.” The Chapmans became a laughingstock when Tiffany was forced to be a maid. Edward yelled, “You attacked my only son, Eliot, and now he’s in a coma. The nerve of you to seek my forgiveness.” “Let’s not forget my son, Frank. You stomped on his legs until they were broken. He’s now lying in bed, waiting for amputation. He needs constant pain medication to ease the agony. “If I could, I would unleash my fury by giving you a slow and torturous death.” Flint flipped out. The bad blood between them went way back. All could not be pardoned with Kaze simply getting down on his knees. He was delusional to think an apology would cut it. Kaze’s death could not make up for the pain and suffering their children had endured. Darcy’s family and Nelson’s family froze. Their minds went blank. They thought that Kaze was out of line to turn the Jade Estate into a graveyard. To their dismay, the three family heads r
Darcy’s and Nelson’s families were flustered by the abrupt dismissal from the Jade Estate. “You idiot! You really lost your marbles.“Now the top three families are upset with me because of you. I want to kill you!” Nelson shouted at Kaze. Smack! Snapping out of the shock, Agnes slapped Kaze. “Must you drag the whole family down with you?” For once, Agnes said nothing more. Usually, she would tear into Kaze. Now, she had no more words for him. Kaze got into some real trouble. It was pointless to lash out at him. “I didn’t think that you would hide so many things from me, Kaze. I only know that Eliot is in a coma for having lewd thoughts about me,” Darcy remarked coldly. “I’m sorry, babe. The issues with Tiffany and Frank are because of James. The incidents are irrelevant to you, so I didn’t mention them.” With Darcy’s eyes turning chilly, Kaze apologized immediately. “Irrelevant to me?” Darcy shouted angrily, “I am your lawfully wedded wife. We share everythi
