The woman with Wendell turned out to be Deborah. She was attending the auction tomorrow on behalf of the Quints. Wendell’s flattery pleased Deborah. The Quints had put elites like the Vikroms, Logmans, and Joestars in the shade. Now, no one would call the Quints an upper-middle-class family. In fact, word had gotten out that the Quint family was now in the top 1% in Lilyrose. “That reminds me. Mr. Narian of the Lee family will be staying here too,” Wendell told Deborah. “I know.” Deborah did not seem surprised. Instead, she said beamingly, “I’m meeting him alone tonight. He’ll come to me when he gets here.” ‘The whore is already hooking up with Narian,’ Wendell thought to himself. He was jealous. Wendell went to the same college as Deborah. She was pretty wild during college. Wendell had once gotten together with the woman. Now that Deborah was banging Narian, he did not stand another chance. Worst of all, he had to facilitate the couple’s rendezvous.
Kaze knocked those who badmouthed Darcy down to the ground. “How dare you hit us, bastard! Do you know who we are?” “Where did the moron come from?” The lot yelled as blood ran down their noses and mouths. “You’re right. I am a moron. I’m Darcy’s moronic husband.” Kaze flicked his wrist and sneered. “I’ll hit you if you run your mouth again. Someone with the lack of mental capacity can’t be charged anyway.” The few people who were attacked had no tears to cry. “Come here, Kaze. Stay out of trouble.” Darcy was helpless. “Hang on. I missed one, babe.” He went to Deborah and slapped her in the face. Smack! Deborah could not dodge in time. A bright handprint emerged on her face. She put her hand over her face and shrieked angrily, “I can’t believe you’d hit me again, dummy!” Deborah and Samus had endured many beatings from Kaze. “You started it.” Kaze’s flat remark nearly drove Deborah to the edge. “Are you alright, Deborah?” Shocked, Wendell stayed f
“To think you call a two-billion-dollar transaction a tiny matter. Even the Sunrise Lees won’t brag to that extent.” Wendell smirked. “Tsk. He’s just a load of hot air.” “Man, he sure loves to brag. He should have at least found out about the final sale price before tooting his horn.” Those from other companies chattered among themselves. They looked at Kaze’s group contemptuously. The stares stung Darcy, and her cheeks burned with shame. “Well, you have just lost your general manager job with Mountain Dew Estate.” Kaze narrowed his eyes at Wendell. “Ha! Do you think you’re the owner of the place?” Wendell scoffed in disdain. Annoyed, he waved at the security guards. “Don’t just stand there. Kick that owner out, and I’ll reward you with double the wages.” His taunting amused many. Everybody saw Kaze as the clown. “Hold on.” Deborah jumped in and said with a smile, “No need to kick them out. They are my cousins, after all. Wendell, can do me this little fav
“Wendell, my family is an elite upper class. It won’t be long for us to be multibillionaires. “Know that your hard work will not go unnoticed,” Deborah said indifferently with crossed arms. “Alright. I will get to it right away.” Wendell stopped hesitating. The Orchid Chalet was furnished quaintly. It was a quiet area. The vibrant blooms and silvery moonlight set a rather romantic scene. Pleased with the place, Kaze looked forward to tonight. He pulled out his phone to call Mathias. “Fire Wendell, the general manager of Mountain Dew Estate. Put someone else on the job.” “My people will take over tomorrow, Kaze.“I got someone to look into the resort’s bank records, and Wendell made some questionable transactions during his tenure. He got off easy with just a termination.” Somehow, the insignificant guy managed to catch Kaze’s eye. Mathias believed Kaze could not stand the man and wanted him to suffer. “Alright.” Kaze hung up. He saw Darcy looking at him with
The rage left Darcy as Kaze lost himself while embracing her. Now, that was more like it. She was still attractive to him. Kaze said, “But I feel like something is missing. We can do it tomorrow. I have a surprise for you tomorrow.” “What is it?” Darcy asked curiously. Her eyes were hazy by then. “You’ll know tomorrow. Get some sleep now.” Kaze patted her shoulder and turned off the bedroom light. “Okay.” Darcy faintly nodded and snuggled up in his arms before closing her eyes. The drug was taking effect on her. She soon fell into a deep sleep. It would not be uneventful for long. “Thump, thump, thump…” There was a knock on the door. Despite multiple attempts at knocking, no one came to the door. The beep of a digital sensor ensued. Someone had opened the door with a key card. The bedroom door was opened. The three thugs waltzed their way into the place. Click! One hooligan turned on the lights and found Darcy sleeping in Kaze’s arms. His breath
Narian would never marry Deborah. He was just looking for some fun. It would be silly of him to refuse a woman who had thrown herself at him. Besides, Deborah was average-looking, but she was Darcy’s cousin. At least, Deborah could scratch his itch for a little while. “Mr. Narian, this is where Ms. Quint is staying—” The intense noise from the chalet interrupted the attendant. The young, female attendant blushed embarrassedly. That was pretty rude and inconsiderate. As the chalet was built with a wood structure, it lacked the soundproofing capabilities of hotel rooms.The attendant glanced at Narian. His face was sour. Narian wondered if Deborah called him over to hear the awful noise. “Mr. Lee, should I call Ms. Quint out?” the female attendant asked with unrest. Narian grimaced and walked away without a peep. The animalistic noise continued in the chalet into the night. That night, the guests in the nearby chalets could not sleep a wink. Deborah woke up i
The three thugs’ target was supposed to be Darcy. However, she was unharmed. The three thugs somehow showed up in Deborah’s room instead. Deborah suspected it had something to do with Kaze. “Duh. There was quite a lot of banging happening at your chalet last night.” Confused, Darcy had no idea what Kaze was talking about. She was too deep in her sleep to notice anything. “So it was you, bastard! You ruined me! I want to kill you!” Deborah shrieked and jumped on Kaze. Kaze held Darcy and dodged the assault while uttering with glee, “Don’t frame the innocent. I’m not the only one aware of last night. Everybody in Mountain Dew Estate knows about it.” Deborah’s eyes widened. She then realized the passing senior executives of various companies were giving her funny looks. “You could’ve been a little civil, Deborah. The noise from your chalet went on all night long, and we couldn’t sleep at all.” “Yeah. You can have your fun, but just pay attention to the sound pollution
“A thief?” Wendell was very loud. The senior executives having breakfast in the restaurant heard his accusation. Kaze was getting looks of contempt. Wham! Darcy slammed her cutlery down on the table and jolted to her feet. As her eyes narrowed in rage, she said, “Please do not make false claims, Mr. Delaney. My husband will never do something like that.” Nancy happened to be there. Seeing that her old friend was in trouble, she came over to ease the tension. “It could just be a misunderstanding, Mr. Delaney. Why don’t we go somewhere more private to sort things out?” Nancy was concerned that Darcy might not be able to attend the auction if things got out of hand. Wendell glared at the woman. “Sort things out? Fine. We’ll talk in the control room.”He smirked. The security personnel gave Kaze hostile looks. Darcy furrowed her brows. She was not a dummy. She knew that Wendell was stirring trouble. Darcy and Kaze were potentially putting themselves in dange
