Gasp! Everyone choked in shock, including Darcy and her parents. Master Quint and the others reacted bitterly. They had been teasing and sneering at Kaze for not being able to afford ten million dollars worth of furniture, yet the rosewood study table set alone was worth exactly that much. Kaze went up to Master Quint and smiled, “Grandfather, is this house big enough?” “It’s huge! Not just the house, even the lake outside is massive! Haha!” Master Quint was much more courteous when he talked to Kaze now. Kaze smiled. “Is it classy enough?” “Of course! This house is worth fifty million! Many people dare not even dream about living here!” Kaze remained smiling. “Then I believe staying here must look good, right?” “Of course! There are less than a handful of families in Lilyrose who could afford this place!” Master Quint nodded. He thought Kaze asking all these questions was because he wanted to invite him to move in together. Kaze then put his smile away and said,
“Darcy, look at your husband! He’s asking me to leave the house!” Master Quint stared at Darcy coldly, emanating his authoritative aura as the head of the house. "I order you to divorce him immediately!" “Darcy, you heard Grandfather. Divorce this idiot immediately!” The Quint family gloated at Darcy’s situation. Master Quint’s words were indisputable; no one dared to defy his order. Without a second thought, Darcy said, “Grandfather, I am in charge of my own marriage. No one can decide for me.” Master Quint was furious. “Darcy, do you still take me as your grandfather?!” While Darcy bit her lip and kept quiet, Master Quint turned to Hector and Agnes. “You two, make your daughter divorce Kaze immediately!” Hector did not respond either. Agnes scoffed and said, “Save it, old man! If Darcy divorced Kaze, who else is going to help her? You and your family? “When her company faces bankruptcy, you ask her to recover the debt from Pietro. When Ned Brooks took advantage of
Kaze said, “I support that. As long as you are happy, Mother.” “Kaze, my son-in-law, you know me best. You two are not as supportive as he is!” Agnes was delighted to find someone on her side. “Whatever, Mom. Brag all you want.” Darcy was happy that her mother finally accepted Kaze as her son-in-law. They also talked about Darcy’s intention to hire more people for the company. Silver Wind Company suffered a huge turnover a while back and was in severe lack of manpower. “From now on, Silver Wind is my career and everything. I will do my best to bring it back on track.” Darcy looked regretful when she said those words. She had worked at Quintessential Group since she graduated and devoted almost everything to her work. Moreover, it was her goal to regain the company’s former glory and reinstate her father back to his righteous position. Now that they had broken away from Master Quint and the extended company, she might not be able to remain at Quintessential Group.
Samus reached out to King Kong right away. This time, the call got through. He asked King Kong to seize Horizon Mirror Mansion tomorrow and would reward the man with fifty thousand once succeeded. All King Kong needed to do was send his men to scare Darcy and her family away and they could get the money. It was an easy job, at least from the looks of it. “Horizon Mirror? That’s a high-class residential area. The security guards from the Heavensward Group are professionals from a top-tier security company. This is a difficult job.” King Kong sounded troubled on the phone. Samus flattered the man, saying, “King Kong, you are Gold Tooth’s best hitman. No professional security guards are a problem for you. We’ve known each other for so long, can you do me a favor?” “Fine. I’ll take this job. I am only doing this for you and no one else.” Right before Samus could thank the man, King Kong added, “But, you must pay me more.” “Grandfather, he wants five million!” Samus covere
King Kong shouted, “You two! Hold it right there!” Agnes was terrified by the mob of gangsters in front of her house. King Kong strutted over and bellowed, “Are you two old hags Hector and Agnes Quint living in Horizon Mirror Mansion? You and your family are moving out today!” “Why must we move out? This is our house!” Despite her fear, Agnes tried to reason with the man, but the gangsters were not there to reason with her. Slap! King Kong slapped her in the face and bellowed arrogantly, “I don’t care whose house it is. You move when I tell you to!” “What if we refused?” Kaze and Draco came out of the house when they heard the commotion. When he saw Agnes covering her face, his eyes turned bloodthirsty. “Oh? Here’s a stubborn one.” King Kong looked at Kaze with a grim look. “Get him! I want ten slaps on his face!” One of the gangsters went up to Kaze, looking fierce as he raised his hand. Thump! Before he could touch Kaze’s face, a powerful kick landed on hi
Kaze talked to Hector and Agnes quite a bit to calm them down. He sent them back into the house to rest after what happened. When he came back out, Bruno and his men came over in a hurry. “Mr. Lee. I am so sorry about what happened. It is the security’s mistake to let those gangsters in here. It is our responsibility.” Bruno bowed and apologized to Kaze. “The security guards are really useless,” Kaze said coldly. The security personnel were not some old men part-timers; they were hired from professional security companies, yet they were unable to hold back a bunch of gangsters. “Mr. Lee, they were frightened by the name Gold Tooth. I gave them a strict order and requested more men to guard the place. If the gangsters return, the security guards will stop them with their lives.” Bruno felt helpless as well. He could frighten off others using Heavensward’s name but it did not work against the gangsters who disregarded the law. “That won’t be necessary. I will not be usi
“A woman?” Darcy frowned. “Yeah. She looks rich. She had a chauffeur driving her around in a Maybach. Judging from her looks and presence, she must be a powerful woman in the business world. Even Mr. Bandino from the Heavensward Group respected her.” Kelly observed Darcy’s reaction closely. She asked, “You don’t know about it? Kaze bought the furniture using that woman’s money. Do you know why I failed the interview? Because I bumped into your husband and that woman together that day. They were…” She rolled her sleeves up. “Look at this. Mr. Bandino already agreed to hire me but because of what your husband said, I was thrown out by the security guard.” Darcy did not expect something like that to happen. “Kelly, are you serious?” Kelly nodded. “What? Do you think I’m lying to you? I lost my job and got thrown out in public. Why would I lie to you with something so embarrassing?” Darcy was suspicious. Kaze barely knew Kelly. Why would he ruin her chance at the intervie
“Kelly, you’ve really done it. Darcy isn’t a drinker, yet you got her drunk.” Henry looked at Darcy’s blushing face and licked his lips pervertedly. It had been years since he tried to sleep with Darcy, and now with Kelly’s help, he was able to make his dream come true. “It wasn’t my doing, she finished all the wine on her own.” Kelly was delighted. “Henry, now that I’ve helped you get Darcy, don’t forget to refer me to a good job.” “You little wench. As if you don’t want to take revenge on Kaze Lee.” Henry held Kelly by the waist and grinned. “Don’t worry. It’s just a job. Piece of cake.” After Darcy’s birthday party, Henry got in touch with Kelly, hoping to establish a connection with Sky High Investment Group. However, Kelly was fired and she was no longer a useful pawn to him. The frequent contact, however, got them together. Henry knew Kelly used to be Darcy’s classmate, so he thought of using her to get to Darcy. That was why Kelly waited for Darcy in the lo
