“Ms. Lewis! I’m Luke Kang. We met before at the Sales Society’s meeting. We even got a picture together after you were awarded.” “Mr. Peak, I admire your work…” Randal, Luke, and Edward went to their counterparts with utmost flattery. If they caught their attention, who were basically the behemoths of the industry, they might get a chance to join Perfect World Group, which could launch their new careers. “Excuse me, we are here for an interview. Please don’t stand in our way.” Randal and the other two were stunned. “Interview? I thought you three were just scouted by Perfect World Group.” “We have resigned from Perfect World Group.” Resigned from Perfect World Group, a company worth billions? What was he talking about? Andy said they were here for an interview… at Passion Fragrance District?” Andy, Fish, and Trevor walked past the three men and went up to Darcy. “Ms. Quint, I’m here to interview for the role of Project Manager at Passion Fragrance District. This
“What? You fired us and still want us to sign the NCA?!” Randal, Luke, and Edward were infuriated. They originally wanted to jump ship to their competitors. With the company secrets they possessed, not only could they take revenge on Darcy, but they could also earn favors and seize more benefits for themselves. If they signed the non-compete agreement, they would be bound by law and nothing they had in mind would materialize. “Don’t want to sign?” Kaze narrowed his eyes dangerously. “We are not signing! What are you gonna do about it?” The three of them wanted to leave. Darcy’s expression turned bitter. She saw the hatred in their eyes and she knew they would definitely take revenge on the company. Kaze pulled his phone out. “Arrest them!” As soon as his voice subsided, several police officers came into the office. “Randal Song, Luke Kang, Edward Canopy, the three of you are suspected of engaging in unlawful activities such as embezzlement of company funds and mor
They never thought that things would take an unexpected turn. “It’s over! It’s over! Once that woman gets to my men, when she fully takes control of Quintessential, our family will be pressured! We soon won’t be able to make a stand in the family!” Samus’ words devastated the whole family. To him, Darcy was just working for the family, the best employee in the company. She did all the heavy lifting but reaped no rewards or benefits. She would even have to take the blame at times. They could never accept Darcy above them once the tables had turned. Rudy had a more elaborate thought. After all the shady things they had done, once Darcy took full control of the company, she might call the police on them. He looked at Deborah in fear and said, “Deb, I think you should call Vincent now. Only he can help us now!” He would rather the Hanser family take over Passion Fragrance Project than Darcy. Deborah called Vincent immediately. After the brief call, Deborah said, “Dad,
Agnes grew agitated as she continued. She started to use her fists to chase Kaze out of the house. “Kaze, just go out for now. I’ll try to calm her down!” Darcy could not do anything effective to stop her mother. The only way to put a stop to this was to let Kaze leave temporarily. Aggrieved, Kaze left the house. He went out to call Snow. “What happened at Lily Garden Hotel? They said they got the wrong person and it wasn’t me who booked Ocean Hall.” Snow felt her soul trembling when she heard Kaze’s anger seething through the phone. “Mr. Chairman, it’s my mistake. I’ll find out what happened immediately.” Kaze hung up the phone and lit a cigarette while waiting. Five minutes later, Snow called back. “Mr. Chairman, I’ve found out what happened. After you left Lily Garden Hotel, Manager Brent tossed Mrs. Quint out of the hotel. Based on his words, it was Ren Joestar’s order.” Snow’s heart was pounding as she reported to Kaze. “You’re saying Ren Joestar is behind
“Agnes, is this boy your future son-in-law? Come on, give the boy a break. Today is a happy day.” Agnes’ friends from abroad did not know that Kaze and Darcy had been married for years. Curious, they appraised Kaze, assuming he was Darcy's boyfriend, which explained their friendly tone. Agnes grunted and said, “Don’t simply assume. He has nothing to do with our family!” “Mrs. Quint! Congratulations! You look stunning today!” Ren, in his handsome suit, came over with a flattering smile. “Ren, you are too kind. I’m too old to be stunning.” Agnes welcomed Ren with a bright smile and even eagerness to hold his arm. “Agnes, is this your future son-in-law? You seemed to like him a lot.” Agnes’ friends looked at Ren as if the presentable and wealthy young man was Darcy’s real boyfriend. “He’s Ren, a kind boy. His family owns Lily Garden Hotel.” This time around, Agnes did not provide a clear answer, she simply introduced Ren to her friends without confirming his identity.
“You’ve been badmouthing him? Tell me, other than bluffing, what else can you do?” Agnes glared at Kaze. If she had not been concerned about exacerbating the situation and let her friends know that Kaze was her legitimate son-in-law, which was embarrassing, she would have thrown Kaze out. “Mrs. Quint, it’s okay. This is a party, you should be happy. Don’t let him affect your mood.” Ren took all the credit and became the good guy while painting Kaze as evil. Agnes accepted his advice and spared Kaze for now. “Ren, the banquet is starting soon. Why don’t you go up to the stage and give a speech for me? I’m not good at speeches, I don’t want to be the laughing stock.” Ren was first surprised, then he became delighted. Agnes wanted him to speak on behalf of the Quint family. The meaning behind the decision was self-explanatory. “Mom, Ren isn’t family, how can you let him give a speech on stage? It should either be me or Kaze.” Darcy got nervous. Agnes glared at her. “Sh
Buzz heard his men and then looked at Richard. “You fat fuck! How dare you patronize me with a lousy hall? Do you want to die? Give us the Ocean Hall!” The guests were horrified and got up instantly. “What’s wrong with Agnes for hosting a party at this kind of place? We are here just to eat yet someone is threatening us…” Some of the guests started to grumble. Agnes was embarrassed when she heard the guests. She did not expect this situation.She mustered her courage and went up to the gangsters. “Sir, we are having a housewarming party and we’ve spent a lot of money. Why don’t you go have your meal somewhere else…” Slap! Buzz slapped her to the ground. “Shut the fuck up! Piss off!” Agnes immediately crawled away. “Mom!” Darcy came over to help her mother and Kaze was behind her. He glared at Buzz and tried to help Agnes up. “Don’t touch me!” Agnes angrily pushed him away. She covered her face and turned to Ren, asking, “Ren, this is your hotel, can you do so
The guests were ready to dig in.“Are you people for real going to eat now? All of you—leave the Ocean Hall immediately!” Ren came back a different person and started chasing everyone out while stomping angrily. The guests put their cutleries back on the table. Agnes hesitantly asked, “Ren, what happened? I thought you got rid of the gangsters!” “I couldn’t! So you people have to leave now!” Ren said impatiently. He was frightened. He wanted the guests to leave and could not be bothered to be patient with Agnes. Agnes stared at him for a few seconds and realized he was not joking. “Let’s go, everyone. I am sorry for this. This party is a disaster. If I have another chance, I’ll make it up to everyone. I’m so sorry.” Agnes apologized to her guests with tears rolling down her cheeks. The guests got up, feeling helpless and confused. They were here for the party but got chased out before they ate anything. “Mom, the party continues. We don’t need to leave.” Kaze sto
