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
Deborah’s words stirred a commotion in the restaurant. A few company representatives were having breakfast there. They approached with spite. “That’s crossing the line. Quartet Group’s despicable approach is an insult to the city’s commerce.” “I’m sure the one billion dollars granted to Quartet Group wasn’t acquired legitimately either.” These representatives were up in arms. “I suggest boycotting Quartet Group. The organizer should bar the company from entering the auction,” Cameron from North River Corporation proposed. He carried a manipulative smirk. “I concur! Boycott Quartet Group!” “That’s right!” It took some level of shrewdness to be able to represent their companies at an auction. They expressed their support in kicking Quartet Group out. The company had one billion dollars in funding, so it was a major competition. All would end well for the other companies if Quartet Group was out of the running. Darcy felt chills down her spine. She could tell wha
Wendell’s face twitched. Kaze turned out to be his boss. How was that possible? There was no way. Yesterday, Kaze told him that he had bought Mountain Dew Estate. However, Wendell did not believe him one bit. He ridiculed Kaze. He even took Deborah’s advice to drug Darcy. This morning, he planted evidence on Kaze to kick him out of the place. Wendell felt like he shot himself in the foot. “No way! A loser like Kaze can’t possibly have the money to acquire Mountain Dew Estate,” Deborah screamed. She would rather die than believe what was happening before her eyes. “A loser? Your family found riches out of nowhere. Who are you to call him a loser?” Ash snapped an angry look at Deborah. Deborah just wanted to sink into the ground and disappear off the face of the earth. Cameron and the others blushed in shame too. “Kaze… You?” Darcy looked at Kaze in disbelief. She could not believe Kaze bought Mountain Dew Estate. “I told you I bought the resort for you, babe.
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Lee. “I was fooled by Deborah’s and Wendell’s video and thought you stole my documents.” Cameron and the others approached Kaze. “Yeah. It was all a misunderstanding. We apologize, Mr. Lee.” The other company representatives expressed embarrassedly. “It’s okay. I didn’t take any of that to heart.” Kaze smiled and added indifferently, “Please pack your things and leave Mountain Dew Estate right away. We won’t be accepting business from you anymore.” “What are you doing, Mr. Lee?” At first, the group thought that all was forgiven with Kaze. To their dismay, he started kicking them out of the resort. The auction was about to begin. Yet, Kaze showed them the door. In other words, he was stopping them from attending the auction. “Don’t you understand the words coming out of my mouth?” Kaze grimaced. “I told you to get out!” “So what if you bought Mountain Dew Estate, Kaze? It was only two billion dollars. We all run billion-dollar corporations to
“River North Corporation and other companies are out as well. I heard they messed with the wrong person from Mountain Dew Estate. I believe it is the new owner. They are all thrown out already.” “Who is the new owner of the estate? Is he that powerful?” “Who cares, it’s none of our business. The auction is more important now.” The tumultuous crowd was silenced all of a sudden as several people walked inside. Narian was in the lead, followed by his assistant and others. “Mr. Narian Lee, you’re finally here! The Sunrise Lees had a harvest this time!” A group of people went up to Narian, flattering him with sugar-coated words. “Nonsense. We are the Lee family from the capital and we are rich! Lilyrose is just a small city! Who is capable of fighting us here? Who has the nerve to compete against us?” Narian spewed nothing but arrogance the moment his lips moved. He looked down on the people who surrounded them, showing no respect for them. Despite being looked down on,
Narian then walked away with arrogant cackles. Darcy became worried. She had a feeling that Narian would target her during the auction later. “Don’t worry, Darcy. He’s just a clown. He won’t be able to make fun of anyone soon,” Kaze said. Darcy simply hummed a reply. “My entrepreneur friends, let us begin the auction today!” The auctioneer’s voice came from the podium. The floor was silenced immediately. “The first property on our auction list today is Genting Limited, starting with twenty million with each increase no less than one hundred thousand…” The first on the list was the company that Quarter Group aimed for. Genting Limited was not a big company but its business would complement Quartet Group’s shortcomings. Darcy could merge the companies if she could get it. She did some research with her team about Genting Limited and believed they had a good chance to win the bidding. Many bidders were from big companies and they had their eyes on bigger or same sc
