As the banquet began, many came to toast and flatter Hector. Their conversation always led to Darcy without exception. Hector would usually have a little drink now and then, watching the amount he drank. However, he clinked glasses with all the guests today.Later when nobody drank with him, he started pouring wine into his own glass. While shedding tears, he downed his drink. “What’s the matter with you, Hector? Don’t scare me.” Agnes pulled him back. “And he who had so loved her was not there, to trouble with bad hopes, or evil wishes…” Hector rasped, his tone miserable. The guests near Hector thought he was acting strange. Darcy’s family, on the other hand, knew what was going on. Hudson bossed Master Quint and the rest of the family around. They were kicked out of the venue in front of everybody. The former Quints were utterly humiliated. Even though Hector resented Master Quint, his father, for turning his back on him, sadness washed over him. The wh
The group of men in suits were burly. They must be trained, hired protection. These men looked aggressive and mean. They were pretty intimidating. “The VIPs wanted to shop in peace, so they reserved the entire mall. Leave now.” They were overbearing. The group of men commanded the customers to leave right away. The customers initially thought that there was a criminal on the loose or a fire in the mall. They could not believe that they were getting kicked out because some VIPs wanted to shop. Many customers were not having it, and they wanted to reason with the management staff. Those who did not have time to finish their meals were most furious. “So what if you didn’t finish eating? The VIP spends enough cash to get you free meals. What more do you want?” The hired security detail was acting like bullies. Their attitude was infuriating. “We can afford our own meals. VIP, my ass. That’s just rude. Money isn’t everything,” the hot-tempered man yelled. “Ha! M
Kaze’s voice was soft. However, the volume stood out as the public was walking out in silence. Many customers looked at Kaze in surprise. They wondered who he was. Kaze had the guts to tell Yume to get out of Lilyrose because her money was no good here. “Watch what you say, bro. It’s Yume of the Vinland family. You can tell from these bodyguards that she doesn’t mess around.” “Yeah. Just put up with it. We are just commoners. We can’t confront them, but we can walk away from them.” “Hurry. Just take your child and leave.”Many tried to persuade Kaze. Although Kaze voiced their grievance, they were more worried about Kaze getting into it with Yume’s security detail. Commoners had no business with the likes of Yume. Kaze smiled at them. “It’s okay. Just stay at the mall. Go back to shopping and eating.” He then turned to the furious hired protection. “Tell Yume to get lost. Here isn’t the place for her to flaunt her wealth.” “Who are you? How dare you tell Ms. Vinl
“Of course it happened,” the hired security officer on the ground shouted. He released his hand over his cheek to reveal a handprint. Startled, the security detail realized that there was more to Kaze. “Take him down!” At the wave of the security officer’s arm, his companions in the back charged toward Kaze. Smack! Smack! Smack! Following several blows, the hired protection cried out in agony. They collapsed to the ground, one by one, over each other. “Oof!” The leader of the security officers saw everything unfold. It was as if Kaze had eyes on the back of his head. He smacked all approaching security officers to the ground like they were flies. One of Kaze’s hands was on the claw machine the whole time. Kaze even won a little dinosaur plushie. It was absurd. The leader of the bodyguards was not the only one with his jaw dropped. The nearby customers were in shock too. “Wow! You’re getting better at it, Godfather!”Brenda was overjoyed. “I can do mag
“Mr. Chairman, the owner of Golden Edge is Winston Carter, the chairman of Landley Corporation, but he owes his success to the top three families.“Golden Edge’s profits have been healthy. After the fall of the top three families, Winston has been looking for a buyer. He’s looking for an ally to fall back on. “The Lees and the Vinlands are interested in taking over, but he’s hesitant, afraid to cross either one.” Snow was a highly capable assistant. Without needing time to investigate, she briefed Kaze on the situation with Golden Edge. “Snow, get Mathias to contact Winston. Tell him to sell the mall to me, and I’ll be his fallback.” Kaze then hung up. Since the Vinlands and the Lees had their eye on Golden Edge, Kaze wanted to snatch the mall away from them. “What do you mean by fallback? Even God can’t save you now.” The leader of the hired protection had no idea what Kaze had done. He said arrogantly, “Kneel now to welcome Ms. Vinland.” Kaze turned and glanced at
“Let’s go!” Yume waved her hand and led the group of ferocious men to the entrance. However, they were stopped by the security guards before they could enter. A suited middle-aged man said politely, “Are you Ms. Yume Vinland? I’m sorry, but you are not allowed inside Golden Edge.” “Who the hell are you? Why are you in my way?!” Yume was furious. The man knew her yet he stopped her from going inside. The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes but he maintained his manners. “I am the chairman of Landley Corporation and I have some shares in Golden Edge.” Yume shouted, “I spent millions to book this place tonight, including Golden Edge. Why are you stopping me here?” The other customers were startled by the commotion. The young mistress of the Vinlands spent millions to reserve the entire Golden Edge for the night yet she was held outside the entrance. “We can refund the money back to you,” Winston said. “Do you think I care about the money? I am losing face here! Winst
“Winston Carter, how dare you make such a false announcement just to get back at me? I’ll do whatever I can to get revenge!” Yume shouted at Winston. Winston laughed. He then looked at the other customers and said, “Sir, Madam, I’m sorry to disturb you with this little commotion. Golden Edge is now open and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused. We will never let anyone buy out the mall again. “Our new boss has decided to give back to our loyal patrons by providing three consecutive days of free meals and beverages at all our restaurants, starting from tonight!” The free discounts were only limited to the restaurants in the mall. Not even Kaze dared to give free discounts at branded outlets or clothing shops, or else the entire mall would be emptied in three days. “Wow! The new boss of the mall is generous!” “Yeah! Unlike someone who spent millions just to show off, the new boss spent three billion to embarrass her!” “It’s karma. It’s better to keep a low profil
Kaze was the new boss of Golden Edge? He spent three billion to purchase the mall? Yume and the others were stunned. “Impossible,” they said en masse. Yume did not believe it at all. “Impossible. How can it be him? He’s the retarded husband of Darcy!” “It’s really him. I saw the original boss of Golden Edge, Winston Carter, bowing at him. It was he who ordered the security guards to confiscate our phones and…” “And what?!” Yume glared at him. “And I quote ‘Yume Vinland is a stupid woman who knows nothing but flaunts her wealth. If she wants to wait for me, then let her wait for three hours. Let the people of Lilyrose see her ugly personality, even though she is of the most beautiful woman in Chrysant.’” Yume and her friends were infuriated. They waited like clowns outside Golden Edge for three hours, allowing other shoppers to laugh at them, while Kaze was long gone from the parking lot. However, they still refused to believe it was Kaze who spent three billion to p
