“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
Kaze did not expect someone would ask him to leave while he was dining. “Can’t you see I’m eating? Why must I leave?” Kaze remained seated. He did not even look at the security guard. “Hmph. I don’t care if you are eating or sleeping.” The security guard glared at him like a ferocious tiger. He was from a professional security firm experienced in escorting celebrities and VIPs. Andrew Shawn and Liv Ackerman were the two biggest celebrities in the entertainment industry at the moment and their fans could get rough easily. Some fanatics would even get information about their idols’ flight and hotel information so they could buy the same flight or check in to the same hotel. The extreme fanatics would even book a room at the hotel one month in advance just to see their idols up close. It was a nuisance to the celebrities as it would disrupt their normal lives. Other than zealous fans, there were also haters whose existence would threaten their safety directly. Kaze w
“Just because you’ve never heard of it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.” Kaze scoffed. The special operations team was more secretive than normal soldiers. Even their files and documents were coded with numbers only, so it was normal that these security guards had never heard of them. Then, another group of people came in. The leader of the group was a petite woman in glasses. She looked harsh and cold. When she saw the security guards surrounding Kaze, she bellowed, “What’s going on here? You guys still haven’t cleared the restaurant? More and more fans are gathering outside. If something bad happens, are you going to take responsibility?” “Ms. Young, this person refused to leave and claimed he’s having some spec ops team lock down the hotel,” the leader of the security guards said ingratiatingly. At the same time, he shifted the blame to Kaze, indicating that he had nothing to do with the delay. The other security guards nodded. When faced with the tiny woman, these bu
Kaze did not expect Lily to continue her arrogant tone after having made known that he was the owner of the hotel. As the owner of Lily Garden Hotel, he had the right to decline a customer’s check-in. Yet Lily made it sound like it was a favor done by her celebrities for choosing his hotel—it made no sense. Manager Keegan approached Kaze and whispered, “Boss, as top celebrities, they are quite influential. If they released a statement that puts us in a difficult position, it might affect the hotel’s business.” “Really? How influential are they?” Kaze scoffed. Influential? How exactly? Lily was infuriated that Kaze refused to believe her. Then, the commercial vehicle’s door opened up. The celebrities exited the car and the security guards escorted them through the sea of barricaded fans to enter the hotel. Lily was aware that Andrew and Liv had come in, so she called them over to the restaurant. “Lily, what’s going on?” Andrew and Liv came over. Kaze sized up the
