Chapter 1002 The Price of Ego

Author: Five Generals
Adam was stunned.

Kaze’s way of thinking was too complex for Adam to grasp.

Before Adam could say anything, Kaze told Johnson, “Ask Harrison for a little favor, Johnson.

“You work for the government, so it won’t look good on you to take the law into your own hands.”

Adam smirked in rage. “Kaze, the Lees have exposed your lies to Harrison. I can’t believe you expect Harrison to do your bidding.

“He might be on his way back to kill you.”

“We shall wait and see.” Kaze smiled.

Back in Lilyrose Detention Center, Harrison went through the formalities for Jason’s and his crew’s release. He received a phone call when leading them out of the detention center.

“Hello, Mr. Ford. I’m George, the head of the Lee family.”

Knowing who George was, Harrison said courteously, “What can I do for you, Mr. Lee?”

“Here’s the thing. I need to tell you something, Mr. Ford.

“The young man you met at the hotel tonight is Kaze Lee. You thought he was the God of War and kneeled before him.

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 1003 Sam’s Tricked

    Jason was still limping from his injuries, but that did not stop him from dealing with a defenseless man like Cosmo. He lifted Cosmo and broke his legs. “Argh! Save me, Dad!” Cosmo’s harrowing screams filled the air. George observed his son’s dismal fate on the phone, his eyes bulging. “Watch this.” Back at the hotel, Kaze handed his phone to Adam which played a video sent by Harrison. Adam took the phone for a look, and soon, he grimaced. Harrison went through with breaking Cosmo’s legs. That was the last thing Adam expected from Harrison. Adam dumped the phone back to Kaze. He said angrily, “Idiot! Do you think the Lees will let you get away with it? They will make you pay! Just you wait!” Adam refused to believe that Kaze was the God of War. It was likely that the Lees did not manage to get a hold of Harrison. “Since you work for the Lees, you can let them know that the punishment on Cosmo is my final warning. They have one month to comply with my demands

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 1004 Adam Plays With Fire

    Adam’s words did not sit right with Sam. Sam was lured under the false pretense of discussing the healthcare market, only to find himself expected to provide medical treatment.Seeing that Adam, a high-ranking officer in the health department, was enlisted to help, the patient must be wealthy and important. Sam could not stand patients who pulled strings to get what they wanted. Nevertheless, saving lives was still Sam’s priority. He asked patiently, “Who is the patient?” “Sam, the patient he’s talking about is likely Narian, and now Cosmo too,” Kaze said curtly. Kaze was surprised that the Lees had not given up on getting Sam to treat Narian. He turned to Adam and said indifferently, “You might not know, but I am the one who fractured Narian’s legs.“You can leave now. Sam will not treat any member of the Lee family.” Adam was stunned. Word that Narian was crippled had gone around the privileged community of Sunrise City. Adam did not expect the assailant to be Ka

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 1005 Miru Snitches

    Adam had pissed Kaze off for the last time. He had been pushing his luck the whole night. Kaze would have smacked anyone else a long time ago. However, he let it go because Adam was Darcy’s uncle. Yet now, Adam threatened that Agnes would not be allowed back with the family unless Darcy divorced him. That was where Kaze drew the line. Kaze narrowed his eyes and headed straight toward Adam. “Kaze!” Darcy pulled him back and shook her head with worry. She was concerned that Kaze’s drastic response would stir more trouble. With Kaze staying put, Darcy turned to look at Adam. She took a deep breath before uttering, “Get over yourself, Uncle Adam. “No one can step into my marriage to Kaze, not even my parents.” Darcy’s tone was firm and resolute. She then took off together with Kaze. Adam stood there, his face ashen. Kaze and Darcy humiliated him tonight. Adam did not believe he had done anything wrong. In fact, Kaze and Darcy had been aggressive all night. “

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 1006 Acting Mayor

    Agnes tore into Kaze. Kaze listened quietly without defending himself. “Miru even said that she’d assign a new deputy manager to Hudson Investment Firm. Kaze, you should work closely with this new deputy.”Agnes broke the news to Kaze before glaring at him. “You hear me, Kaze?” “Yes.” Kaze nodded, unconcerned about the new deputy manager. He would not mind so long as the new deputy manager was capable, unlike Jem who kept harassing him. Once Agnes was gone, Darcy drew close and urged Kaze earnestly. “Cherish the opportunity, Kaze. Do your best, okay? “My mom will stop giving you an attitude when you show her results.” “Your word is my command, babe.” Kaze hugged her with a smile, giving her a little squeeze on her hips. “I’m taking a shower.” Darcy rolled her eyes and went upstairs. Kaze was about to hit the showers when he received a call from Johnson. “What is it, Johnson?” Kaze took the call and asked. Johnson replied, “Mr. Lee, Cosmo has been transport

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 1007 Team Governor

    Following the fall of the top three families, Lilyrose became a free-for-all. Various powerhouses wanted a piece of the pie. Johnson was a capable man, but he was at his wit’s end dealing with all the problems. The Lees even openly demanded Cosmo’s release. The arrogance of the rich and powerful knew no boundary. With Kaze holding the fort, Johnson could relax. Anybody would have to leave their cockiness out the door the moment they entered Lilyrose. “But, Johnson, I prefer a hands-off approach. Don’t bother with the daily duties of the mayor. I’ll intervene only when necessary.” Kaze made another request. He did not want to stick around the mayor’s office all day, toiling away at paperwork. “Don’t worry, Mr. Lee. I will tell my people not to disturb you on trivial matters.” Johnson patted his chest and promised. Soon, Lilyrose local council announced Johnson’s participation in an exclusive training course, and a Mr. Lee would be standing in his position for the

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 1008 New Deputy

    “Alright. We’ll leave it to Samson.” Gregory nodded menacingly. “Kaze broke the legs of his son too. I bet he’s more eager to kill that bastard.” … Kaze had no idea that his brief stint as acting mayor would brand him a loyal supporter of Loid.The Lees ceased fire for that reason, directly at least. The next day, Kaze’s presence was requested at the meeting room when he arrived at his office at Hudson Investment Firm. “Why are we having a meeting?” Kaze asked Sophie after stepping into the meeting room. Sophie whispered, “Miru was here after you were gone yesterday, Mr. Chairman. She criticized your lack of accountability and informed us that her assistant would act as the deputy manager here. “The new deputy is here, and she called for this meeting.” While talking, a beautiful and commanding woman in a power suit walked through the door. She glanced at everybody condescendingly and went on. “I should introduce myself. I am Jennifer Barwise. I am filling the role of

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 1009 Swearing-in

    Jennifer was surprised by Kaze’s compliance. The disdain she had for him ran deeper. “Alright, that’s it for today’s meeting. Meeting adjourned.” Jennifer clapped her hands, announcing the end of the meeting. She did not care whether Kaze had anything to say. She saw herself as the highest-ranked superior at Hudson Investment Firm. Once Jennifer was gone, the senior executives gathered around Kaze. “You’re the only leader for me, Mr. Lee. I’ll follow you wherever you go.” “That’s right, Mr. Lee. We will only take your orders. Ms. Barwise doesn’t even respect you. Why should we listen to her?” The group was eager to prove their allegiance to Kaze. Yesterday’s incident left a dent in them. These people would not take Jennifer’s side right away because Kaze backed off. “Enough!” Kaze yelled, interrupting the group’s chatter. The senior executives exchanged glances. They were only trying to show their loyalty to Kaze. Kaze should be happy. Yet, he looked pissed. “

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 1010 They Meet Again   

    “I’m at the hotel next to the mayor’s office. Come over,” Kaze said. Soon, a young woman dressed in work attire drove over. Kaze parted ways with Caleb, Don, and the others. He asked Jennifer’s assistant, “What’s your name? Why haven’t I met you at the office?” “I’m Lilith Fair. Ms. Barwise asked me to join her from Lefteria Group,” the woman said proudly. She put herself above others because of her connection to Lefteria Group. Lilith pursed her lips at the smell of alcohol on Kaze. Sure enough, Kaze pulled strings to get where he was. He must be befriending the superiors at the mayor’s office by drinking with them in the afternoon. Lilith recognized these high-profile figures when Kaze parted ways with them. Nevertheless, Kaze was the CEO of Hudson Investment Firm by name, so Lilith was not surprised he could engage with these leaders. The way Lilith saw it, Kaze must be using his high-ranking position to establish connections with others. She had seen too many of K

    The incident did not sit well with Kaze, so he left them out to dry. After much searching, Kaze came across a café. Kaze bought a cup of coffee. Cupping the drink between his hands, Kaze sipped slowly. Many passengers swarmed the arrival hall in the airport, dragging along their luggage or pulling out their phones to get a pick-up. They all had a destination, a place they had to be in a rush. Intrigued, Kaze followed the crowd out. Kaze turned on his phone, and a text message from his airport pick-up came in. He glanced at the message, curious about who the person was. Nevertheless, Kaze trusted that the Westeros Branch members would not set him up out in the open. At most, they would pull little stunts to mess with him. Kaze was not the type to sweat the small stuff. However, he would not tolerate any extreme behavior. He had been keeping a low profile back in Butterworth, keeping the limelight off him. The purpose was to handle Jet without unnecessary complicati

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3757 Disconnected

    “Alright. I will work hard to be the manager of the Northborn Group. You need to show me the ropes and teach me about management.” Leah looked at Katie with a smile. She believed Katie had not lost her mind. Katie simply had her memory mixed up. “You need to keep your people in line and reward those who deserve it. It all boils down to profits. “You need to work toward managing your people and working with rivals. You’ve got to keep the balance, and nobody loses out. “You need to build your own system when it comes to working together. Don’t be led around by the nose.” Hearing that Leah would start work soon, Katie imparted her knowledge. “Don’t worry too much about things. Joey is nice. You can go to her for help,” Katie said earnestly. Katie seemed to be herself at the moment. Leah wondered if Katie faked her insanity to escape the punishment. “What have become of you? Did they do something to you? “Did you really betray Kaze?” Leah whispered while leaning close

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3756 Mental Disorder

    Leah kept working on her knowledge until late into the night. Just as she was about to hit the sack, she got a message from Snow. Learning was a hard enough process. The text message came out of the blue. Leah did not expect Snow to contact her at night. The message was strange as well. Leah could not understand why Snow would give her the address of a nursing home. Leah was determined to turn things around. She strived to become stronger instead of being a burden. She was grateful for Kaze’s help. At least, she had a job now. However, her gratitude was not extended to Snow. She believed Snow had gone too far. Snow left her feeling powerless. Leah did not think much about the message. She assumed that the text was not meant for her. Since Leah did not respond to the text, Snow put the matter aside and went to bed. Leah called Snow the next day. “Why did you send me an address?” Leah went straight to the question. She had been equipping herself with knowledge before

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3755 Nursing Home

    Snow could not believe her eyes. Katie suddenly went quiet and behaved like the CEO she was.However, Katie did not look like she was right in the mind earlier. “What’s going on? She seems to have gone insane.” Snow turned to the warden, still digesting the change. Katie had lost touch with reality before the Viper’s Den did anything to her. “How did this happen? She has been taking her meals. Just days earlier, she nagged about getting out because she was worried about her daughter. As usual, we didn’t respond to her requests.” The warden found the whole thing peculiar too. Just a few days ago, Katie demanded her release. Now, she kept to herself and abided by the rules. Out of the blue, Katie went nuts. Things had gotten complicated. Snow wanted to keep Katie behind bars due to her betrayal. However, Kaze decided against pursuing the matter for Leah’s sake. Katie would be let go soon enough, but she would lose her job at the Northborn Group. Katie’s presence woul

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3754 If You Show Any Remorse

    It was quiet in the office. Snow sorted the last bit of paperwork before picking her head up in exhaustion. Her initial plan was to delegate the tasks. However, Katie was controlling. Previously, she personally oversaw many matters. Snow could not distribute the responsibilities because the employees had no experience in handling them. They came to Snow for every tiny, little thing, and Snow really got her hands full. Despite her frustration, Snow could let things go as Katie was locked up. “I should pay her visit.” Snow decided to see Katie. Some things should not be left unsaid. Leah would be working for the Northborn Group soon, and the mother and daughter should meet to tie up loose ends. The truth would put Leah to shame, and her guilt would stop her from ever betraying Kaze. After a quick bite, Snow drove to the prison. Katie was furious when she was imprisoned. She was one step away from victory. She was so close to leaving Butterworth to head to Westeros

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3753 Everything’s Gone

    “Why do you want to sell the properties? Do you need money? Don’t you have some saved?” Joey had a good understanding of Leah’s finances since she ran all the paperwork. “My mother is being held, and I need money to ask favors. Maybe I can get her out.” Leah was not thinking much. Money could always be replaced, but not her mother’s freedom. “Don’t be silly. This is not the way to go.” Though Joey did not have the details, she observed that things were not as simple as Leah thought. Kaze was safe now, but the fact that Katie had betrayed Kaze and revealed his whereabouts remained unchanged. Katie had broken the Viper’s Den’s rules. Even if she got out, she would be a wreck. With Snow running the Northborn Group, Katie would remain a failure. Either way, Katie would not get away with it. Even if Leah offered all her assets, Katie’s situation would not change. It was a waste of money and resources for Leah to save her mother. Nothing would come out of it. “But I

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3752 Have You Decided?

    “Give me an answer. Are you taking the job? If you are, you should sort out your affairs. Don’t bring your personal feelings to work.” Snow was not the type to go easy on fragile women. If Leah did not have what it took, she could be forced to leave the company. Nevertheless, Katie had left a lot of assets to Leah. Even without work, Leah could very well survive. The girl would have trouble keeping the wealth, seeing that she was without power or connections. If Leah had a job, she would have the resources to hold onto her assets. Leah had seen the best and worst of mankind. She was once the center of attention, and now, everybody avoided her. It dawned on Leah that it was over for Katie. If Leah could not even keep a job, she would lose everything. “I didn’t know things would happen.” Leah never thought that Katie was capable of stabbing Kaze and her in the back. The thought of betrayal put Leah in distress. Kaze was a great guy who helped Leah a lot. Feeling ete

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3751 Not Wanted

    Leah got dressed and was ready to leave, but she did not know who to turn to. She thought about going to her wealthy friends to see if they could uncover anything through their connections. However, Leah could not get a hold of them. It dawned on Leah that loyalty would fade when power was gone. Even though Katie was just missing, intel spread around Butterworth very quickly. These people must have found out and have chosen to stay away. Leah had always been treated like royalty. Nobody had ever avoided her like the plague. Nevertheless, she had not been in touch with these friends since her injury. Now, in her attempt to contact them, she could not reach them. “Why is this happening? My good friends have gone MIA, and I’m getting silence from those who have been trying to connect.” Sitting on the couch, Leah looked out the window in despair. She tried to seek help with her mother’s search, but her efforts were futile. She could do nothing for her mother. All al

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3750 Take Over Northborn

    “I have to work hard starting today. But before that, I have to get some sleep.” Snow remembered that Kaze punished her to get some sleep. He said her face looked tired and pale, signs of how hard she had been working. It felt great being cared for. It was because of his kindness, Snow fell for Kaze uncontrollably. Yet she understood not all things were meant to be. After she returned home, she went to sleep immediately without talking to anyone. She only woke up in the afternoon after a comfortable and easy sleep. Next, she would have to work on many things, first being taking over Northborn Group. Katie’s disappearance had the company shaken, but it gave many others a chance. They tried to calm their subordinates down and contact the higher-ups for more information, hoping that they could replace Katie as the new CEO. Little did they know, their preparations would eventually fall short. Snow and her secretary arrived at Northborn Group in the afternoon, and her a
