Dan got up and stared at Samus. “Get this little shit out of here! How dare he threaten Ms. Quint!” Samus was thrown out of the construction site despite his begging and crying. Master Quint and the others were shocked as well. They were afraid that Dan would toss them out, so they quickly left the scene. Dan led two hundred of his men into the site. Together with Manny and his men who had started working, almost three hundred gangsters were working there. Darcy did not know whether to be afraid or laugh at the scene. What gave Miru the idea to make Dan and his men work at the construction site for free? If the news got out, people would think Darcy was a mob boss. Inside a VIP ward at Lilyrose Prime Hospital, Henry was still bedridden. “Dad, am I a eunuch now? Does it mean I can’t fuck women for the rest of my life?!” Henry stared blankly at the ceiling and spoke lifelessly. He did not move for three days after he realized he lost his penis. Roger felt terrib
Roger looked at Kelly coldly. The reason he allowed Kelly to live was because Henry had sex with her before he was castrated. If Kelly got impregnated, then Roger would allow her to live until she gave birth to the child. If not, she would have two more months to live. Therefore, Roger recruited her to the new Construction and Material Society and made her the new chief secretary. Kelly was living the life of her dreams. If she could bear Henry’s seed, then she would become the daughter-in-law of the Hilfingers and strengthen her position in the family.Little did she know, she was already dead in Roger’s eyes. “What is it?” Roger put the vicious gaze away and asked in a normal expression. “Mr. Chairman, Dan Niners turned on us. I just got the news that he and his men are working at Darcy’s construction site!” Kelly said with a hint of disappointment on her face. She wanted Darcy and Kaze to suffer but even a gangster boss like Dan would submit to them. Roger was i
“Sir, I am still investigating James White’s death, but I found out that the Lee and Hilfinger families were behind his expulsion from university…” Kaze remembered James’ expulsion like it was yesterday. James was on the verge of graduating with his degree course but then someone accused him of plagiarism and got expelled from the university. He was aspiring to be a scientist and the incident ruined his future. It put him in a slum for quite a long time. Kaze knew James’ character well enough to know that he would never plagiarize. Someone must have framed him, so he planned to help his friend. However, James was afraid of confronting the university about the incident and he told Kaze to stay out of it. Before Kaze knew it, James had gone south to start a new career. Snow informed Kaze that the one who reported James to the university was a student named Jessica Summer. She had a group of friends as witnesses as well and they were Haiden Ludgram, Wayne Gerome, Zack Centau
“Yes!” Rudy nodded. “Perfect World Group can’t do anything about it. I think the Construction and Material Society is making a comeback! “Now that the news of Darcy refusing to buy from the society and Dan Niners and his men working at our construction site has gotten out, the society would probably be embarrassed. This meeting would probably make us the common target.” Everyone in the family panicked. All the other families agreed to the Construction and Material Society’s terms except for the Quint family. Darcy was the person in charge of Passion Fragrance District and she was still trying to resist. If they attended the meeting tomorrow, Roger would definitely make an example out of them. “Father, we can’t escape from this anymore. If we don’t attend, Roger Hilfinger will have an excuse to target us. The problem is who shall attend the meeting.” Rudy then shot a gaze at his son, Samus. Samus said, “Grandfather, our family is not going. You should send the one who is
Hector was in his wheelchair and remained silent at his father’s scoldings. The others also shifted the blame on Hector. “Uncle Hector, if not for what you did back then, I would have already become one of the richest young men in the city! You really did drag us down!” Samus blurted his thoughts without qualms at the uncle that he respected the most when he was young. Deborah said, “Uncle Hector, you and your daughter are the same. Stubborn as a rock. And she’s going to drag us through the mud!” “You and your family are trying to drag us all down!” The other family members criticized Hector and vented their anger at him. Hector, Agnes, and Darcy were petrified as they were attacked by the merciless criticism. The extended family had been waiting for this for a long time. They had always wanted to blame Hector who ruined the company. Kaze felt terrible looking at his wife and in-laws being criticized yet unable to talk back. He then said coldly, “Roger Hilfinger? I’
Miru sounded delighted. Her attitude toward Kaze was totally different from yesterday. “Fine. I’ll buy you lunch.” Kaze was on the way to have lunch anyway. If he returned to Horizon Mirror now, Agnes would probably scold him again. He might not even enter the house, let alone having lunch there. “Where are you? I’ll go pick you up.” Kaze told Miru his location and she arrived after a while. Miru drove a Mercedes AMG that cost two million dollars and her arrival attracted much attention. A sweet lady driving such a big and sturdy car would easily turn heads wherever she went. Kaze opened the door and entered the passenger’s seat under the passersby's envious gaze. “Let’s go.” Miru drove off without asking Kaze, the one who was paying for lunch. At the same time, in the chairman's office of the Hilfinger Corporation, Roger leaned back in his chair as he spoke to Kelly, who was seated across from him.“How’s the preparation for tomorrow’s event going?” “Everythin
When Kaze came out of the car, he realized Lily Garden Hotel was decorated grandly today. The fiery red carpet rolled out to the front as if to welcome a VIP. Kaze was not concerned and headed in. With her slender long legs, Miru followed Kaze to the entrance. Manager Keegan was at the entrance talking to a group of hotel employees with his back facing them. “Manager, the boss is here. He’s with Ms. Miru Scarlet of the Lefteria Group,” notified one of the employees after Kaze and Miru were spotted. Miru was a regular at Lily Garden Hotel, or else she would not bring Kaze here to have lunch. The employees recognized the beautiful and rich lady. Manager Keegan immediately turned around when he heard the employee and led the others to bow at Kaze. “Mr. Lee, Ms. Scarlet, welcome.” Miru was surprised by the warm welcome. Despite being a regular at Lily Garden Hotel, the employees had never welcomed her with such courtesy, which caused her to overlook the fact that besi
Miru grunted in disdain. She tossed her car key to the chauffeur and walked inside. Kaze smiled without being concerned and followed her inside. The restaurant was located on the left side of the lobby. The two of them sat down at a quiet table. Miru picked up the menu and started ordering. First on her list was a bottle of wine that cost ten thousand, then air-flown caviar for two and some other dishes. The dishes she ordered cost around two hundred thousand. “That will be all.” Miru closed the menu and saw the bitter look on Kaze. “What’s wrong? The price scared you?” She thought Kaze was shocked by the price of the wine and the caviar, which delighted her. “Miru, I think you are just being rude. That’s all you ordered? It’s not even enough as an appetizer.” He was displeased by how few dishes Miru ordered. He took the menu and had a look himself. “A few more sets of caviar, and this, and this, this too. Make it double for all of them…” Kaze knew that high
Snow felt bad about Kaze going to Butterworth solely to help her, so she could not just stand idly by. She wanted to help when her presence was needed. “That won’t be necessary. There’s nothing you can do here.” Kaze believed things were progressing smoothly so Snow’s presence here was not needed. In fact, if Snow came back to Butterworth, Jet would surely be alarmed, which would lead to the exposure of Kaze’s plans. Snow was slightly disappointed. She really wanted to help Kaze. Kaze headed to Butterworth because of her. She already blamed herself for not being by his side. Now that she was rejected, she felt terrible. “Chairman Lee, if not because of me, you wouldn’t be in this mess,” she said with a hint of regret and sorrow. Snow stood by the window in a brightly lit room, enjoying a moment of peace, while Kaze was running around tirelessly for her and her family. “Your priority now is to take care of your mother. When your mother has fully recovered, you can bring
“I understand.” Arthur took notes of everything Kaze said and started to plan out the arrangements in his mind. He was more than happy to see Jet suffer a great loss. Jet had always been acting like a king in Butterworth. If they could pull him down from the throne, many would be glad to see it happen. A tyrant who sat high on the throne would never care about the peasants; the peasants did not like the tyrant as well. “Don’t rush it. We have a lot of time.” Kaze was in no hurry. He believed they could take more time to prepare. Acquiring the projects from Jet’s hand was considered a step in progress as well. He took a sip of his drink and then looked at Arthur. “You look tired. I bet you haven’t been sleeping lately. Why not go get some rest? Your dark circles are heavy.” Kaze did not want Arthur to neglect his health to help him, so he gave a piece of reminder. “It’s my honor to help you, Mr. Lee. Besides, I am getting a lot for myself lately.” Arthur’s income
“I can tell he’s running out of patience. His handsome face looked a little tired recently.” Arthur had been carrying out Kaze’s orders and he occasionally met Jet. It was just that Jet never took Arthur seriously. Even if they met face to face, Jet did not have any idea who he was. Kaze chuckled at Arthur’s words. Jet never showed any respect to people below him. Kaze would never let him off easily. He took the documents on the table to have a look and found several interesting projects. Had he not interrupted Jet's businesses, once the projects started, Jet and the Frosts would earn a fortune. “This attraction is quite fun. I played it for a while the other day and it’s quite interesting,” Kaze said. “After the funding for this project got halted, their manager is at a bind. They tried to secure more funding and investment. They know this project is going to make money but time is not on their side, which caused many parties to drop off,” Arthur commented after havi
Kaze continued chewing on his watermelon while listening to Arthur’s update. “It’s interesting. Jet is like a God here. If he’s interested in any project, he gets involved and makes a fortune out of it. “Slowly, people gathered around him and started to trust him. This isn’t anything worth noting but he does resort to dirty tricks to snatch projects at times.” Arthur chuckled as he continued. The more arrogant Jet had been, the more pathetic he looked now. “He got what he deserved. I guess he’s simply unlucky.” Kaze found it amusing. It was also the outcome that he expected. He had been making moves with a clear objective in mind, not merely out of revenge against Jet. “He is. The project owners who were forced to sell their work to him at a lower price are now celebrating.” Arthur had seen a fair share of things recently and he understood why the Frosts became who they were now. He looked down at them. For a family to grow, it must take careful steps one by one,
As the CEO of the Northborn Group, Katie was extremely busy. Despite her busy schedule, she still had to take care of her daughter’s birthday party. Katie could have assigned the task to her assistant but worrying that a slight mistake might embarrass herself, she decided to take matters into her own hands. “Why is the girl so stubborn? I just slapped her in the face and she’s not answering my calls,” she said, her tone upset. She never knew her daughter could be so stubborn. She believed she did the right thing because she wanted Leah to be better, yet the girl did not appreciate her gesture and insisted on blaming her. “Leah is a smart girl, but this is too much. Regardless, she can be mad all she wants. As long as she’s still within our turf, things won’t spiral out of control.” Joey then came back with a cup of coffee and put it in front of her boss. She said softly, “If she’s a smart girl, she would know what to do and not just make you mad every time.” Katie sta
While Kaze was staying in the hotel, he kept having a feeling that he was being watched. It made him uncomfortable. His worry resulted in extra caution but he had never met anyone unfamiliar at the penthouse level. He did not want to have excessive contact with the hotel staff and tried his very best to stay away from Katie. He was not afraid of the woman but he simply did not want to get himself in trouble. The Northborn Hotel was the biggest hotel in Butterworth. It was the house of many, probably almost all, important banquets and events in its grand ballroom. Being able to host a banquet at the grand ballroom was considered a prestigious honor. Although the reservation process was tedious and the fee was exorbitant, many people still wanted to host their events or banquets at the hotel. The Northborn Hotel was also decorated lavishly, equipped with many convenient infrastructures. Other than banquets and events, companies would also rent the place for business meeti
Aloysius came to have lunch and he picked up a piece of information during his meal. He wondered if it was real. When he first heard it, he thought it was ridiculous, but on second thought, it somehow made sense. Katie usually looked like a caring but overprotective mother but who would know for sure that she would not do something so outrageous? Once a person was driven by benefits and gains, sentiments and emotions ought to be sacrificed. “She’s ruthless but only a woman with her personality is fit to be the CEO of the Northborn Group,” Jet said with an approving nod. When a person discarded all sentiments and emotions, he or she would be invincible. “Are we attending the party?” “Of course we are. I still have to find the mastermind.” Jet refused to just step back. Someone ought to pay for halting his business ventures. “I understand. I’ll prepare a gift.” Aloysius nodded and turned around to leave the room. Jet remained in his seat, sipping on his glass of win
Jet did not look worried. His companions were confused. Anyone else in Jet’s position would panic. Each day the business ventures were on hold, and he faced continuous losses.However, Jet remained composed. It proved that Jet was competent to face problems. Despite the obstacles, Jet was able to overcome it in no time. “I see. Do tell if you need any help. We are happy to lend a hand.” “Yeah. I’m sure the problems will go away soon enough.” The group uttered, not taking the incident to heart. Seeing that the group was gullible, Jet was relieved. After dinner, Jet sent his drunk guests away. Jet grimaced. “None of them know anything. Those who do won’t see me.” Jet was curious as to who he had upset to deserve the attack. There was still wiggle room in regard to his business ventures, and Jet could still afford the wait. Nevertheless, it was frustrating to be targeted. “Is there anything you need, sir?” Aloysius asked. “Keep an eye on these people. Check
“We are happy to have dinner with you, but it’s only been a few days since we last saw you.” Though confused, the group took their seats. Jet invited them out to see if they knew anything about the mastermind behind the halted projects. However, the group behaved no differently from before. “Friends should always stay connected. I’m looking to take on a few business ventures. I was wondering if any of you are interested.” Jet was not in the mood to start new business dealings. He was simply trying to extract information from the group. Jet’s business ventures were stalled, and if the group had an inkling, they would not do business with him.If they were in the dark, they would jump at the opportunity to close the deal. They could not possibly say no, especially since they had been begging for Jet to throw a lifeline. “What kind of business are we talking about?” “Yeah. Can we be a part of it?” “I’ve been wanting to do business with you, Jet. It’s a pity we never
