“Look! Look all you want! It’s out anyway!” “The entire city should know that Darcy made her own grandfather kneel and turned on her family!” “From today onward, no one would do business with her.” The Quints remained kneeling on the ground, unable to do anything to free themselves from the humiliation. The only thing they could do was complain to vent their grievances. Then, Kaze’s frosty voice came from the phone’s loudspeaker again. “Tell the public what you did to Darcy in the past two days. Don’t try to hide it, I know what you did.” Everyone was silenced. They refused to reveal what they had done. “No? Then leave.” Kaze clearly grunted on the phone. Master Quint helplessly looked at his son and grandson. “We forced Darcy to make a report on behalf of Deborah or else we will kick her out of the family and take her name away.” “We spread false rumors about her being raped by three men and her being Mathias Queen’s mistress.” Rudy and Samus revealed everythin
The Quints refused to believe that Darcy was not in Sky Ocean Corporation. They strongly assumed Kaze lied to them and prevented them from seeing her. “You really think she’s here because of the car?” Kaze was struck with realization. He said, “I drove the car.” “Why did you drive her car?!” “Why can’t I drive her car?” “Then why did you come here?” Kaze scoffed. “My wife is the chairwoman. Why can’t I come here to have a look?” “The chairwoman isn’t here today. We are simply accompanying Mr. Lee on his inspection.” It was then the CEO of Sky Ocean Corporation, Alfonso, came out. He went up to Kaze and asked respectfully, “Mr. Lee, are there any more departments that you wish to inspect?” “That’s enough. I don’t know how the company works. I’m just here to have a look.” Kaze smiled and added, “Bring me my car, I’m going home.” Soon, the Maserati Quattroporte was driven over. Kaze got in and drove off. “Kaze, that bastard! He lied to us!” “I want to kill
Everyone gasped in shock. Master Quint bellowed, “You just said we didn’t borrow money from you.” “The Quint family didn’t, but the top three families did, and so did Taylor Swan.” Dane scoffed. “To attend the inauguration ceremony of Albert Hiden, the top three families, Taylor Swan, and the other families, borrowed billions from Dallas Moneylender. “The money was then confiscated by the God of War and returned to Lilyrose’s city council as a development fund for the city. The Quint family got two billion from it. “Am I right, Master Quint?” Master Quint finally knew why Dane said the Quints owed Dallas Moneylender two billion. “Mr. Rich, you should go to the top three families, Taylor Swan, and God of War for the money. Why come to us?” Master Quint bellowed. Dallas Moneylender was trying to extort money out of them. “The top three families are no longer top, Taylor Swan is behind bars, and as for the God of War… Well…” Dane chuckled. “We dared not go to him.” “
“Hector Quint must be a lucky bastard,” Gregory grumbled angrily with his teeth clenched. Narian’s legs were broken because of Kaze. The Lees invited Professor Whiteman to look at Narian’s condition, but then the professor was escorted to Lilyrose to check on Kaze’s father-in-law. “Contact our men at Lilyrose and tell them to bring Professor Whiteman back here!” Gregory said coldly. “Yes, Sir!” The butler went off to deliver the order but he came back shortly after. “Sir, our men found Professor Whiteman but he doesn’t want to come back. He even said he would not treat Young Master Narian’s legs!” “What?!” Gregory was furious and confused. “Did Kaze badmouth us and make that old man angry? I know Professor Whiteman is a righteous person.” It was no secret what the Lees had done to the Quints years ago. In fact, there were many versions of the incident and some of them sounded harsher than normal. Gregory suppressed his anger and called Professor Whiteman. “Profess
“You father can’t walk?” Professor Whiteman asked. “He can. His condition has stabilized lately and he can walk just fine.” Clank! Sully lit a cigarette and then said, “I don’t know what condition he is in. Why don’t you go have a look at him at Melrose?” “If he can walk, why don’t you bring him here to see me? I don’t think he is that old either.” Professor Whiteman fanned the smoke away with furrowed brows. “My father is living in seclusion and he doesn’t like to move around. Coming here is too troublesome. It’s better for you to come with us.” Sully pointed outside the window. “The car is ready outside.” “I’m not going.” Professor Whiteman picked up his glasses. “I have an operation at Sunrise City tomorrow and I have to go back later tonight.” He believed Sully was the son of some powerful family. People like him cared a lot about ostentation, yet Professor Whiteman disliked such an attitude. “What operation is so important that you have to do it yourself? J
“They were rude and arrogant. They simply took Professor Whiteman away and even beat up the security guard on the way out. “Mom and Dad were beaten as well,” Darcy said with teary eyes. “Treat someone? That means Professor Whiteman is going to be fine for now.” Kaze breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still angered by the incident. Someone took Professor Whiteman away under his watch. “Do you know who took the professor?” The priority would be to recover the professor first. Kaze knew the professor well enough to know that the man would not do as told no matter the threats. Once his abductor went out of patience, he would be in danger. If the abductor was able to take Professor Whiteman away in broad daylight, then they must have strong support. “The man said his name is Sully Lee and he took Professor Whiteman away to treat his father,” Agnes said. “Sully Lee… I’ll find him and tell him to bring the professor back. I’ll make him apologize to you two.” Kaze’s ex
Agnes did not allow Kaze to go to Melrose because she worried he might cause trouble with his recklessness again. “Miru can go alone. Her godfather is Alan Cummingham. I bet that Steve Lee will show her some respect,” Darcy said, agreeing with her mother. Kaze shrugged and simply stayed home, waiting for Miru’s news. The Mel River was the biggest river in Melrose and it penetrated the city geographically. Beside the Mel River was an estate with a classic architectural style, located at the edge of the woods. There were picturesque buildings and beautiful structures in the estate and the path that led up to the main building was basked in sunlight. Some tourists who passed by the place might have mistaken it as a tourist spot and wanted to go in for a tour. They would be stopped by suited men with earpieces and would only be released after the men checked their cameras and phones for any photos or videos they had taken. The men would then inform the tourists that the est
“Really?” Sully was surprised. He then chuckled and said, “Poor bastard. Albert Hiden took him yesterday and I took him today…” Slap! Before he could finish his sentence, a slap landed on his face, leaving behind a reddish mark. “What? Why did you slap me?!” Sully covered his face and looked at his father in shock. “I slap you because you are being careless. The man is a national icon and has connections to many other powerful families, yet you took the man here by force. Can’t you find someone else to do it? You really think we are still invincible outside Melrose?” Steve lectured his son. “That’s not a big deal. That old man didn’t even cause any trouble when Albert Hiden took him. He’s just a fame chaser, I bet he will not want to cause a scene,” Sully grumbled. Steve grunted and somehow agreed with his son. He asked, “You don’t even know he was taken yesterday, how did you know he’s in Lilyrose?” Steve was known for his ferocity and machetes but if he was just t
