Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1858 Deborah Returns
While it was only a rumor, there was a possibility the rumors might come true. As a result, following the shift of power dynamics in the mayor’s office, the public did not seem to have much faith in Sky Ocean Corporation. Darcy was furious upon learning the rumors. She sent her men to work, determined to find the troublemaker behind the gossip. The outcome left her indignant and helpless. The Quints were the driving force behind the hostile takeover of Sky Ocean Corporation. More accurately, Master Quint planned the whole thing. The seemingly detailed rumors and believable bad press were released by the Quints through various channels too. “What is Grandpa trying to pull?” Darcy rubbed her temples. She could not figure out Master Quint’s motives. Clearly, the Quints could not have pulled the whole thing off without help. Their finances were in the drain, to begin with. However, Darcy got an inkling after a call moments ago. Deborah returned to Lilyrose out of
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1859 The Ridgesouth Quints
Folding her arms against her chest, Deborah looked at Darcy with an air of superiority. Her eyes reflected callousness, contempt, and relentless resentment. “Give it to her,” Deborah said without looking back. She prodded her chin toward Darcy, her eyes never breaking contact with Darcy’s. One of the men in suits walked up and pulled out a pile of papers from his briefcase before handing them to Darcy. “You went through all that trouble to acquire Sky Ocean Corporation’s shares maliciously just to get Kaze to sign this?” Darcy glanced through the document, her brows furrowed. It was a Victim Impact Statement. The statement detailed that Kaze was unaffected by the slander from Kingston and Desmond.All Kaze needed was to put his signature on the statement. The perpetrator behind the hostile takeover immediately occurred to Darcy. Macam Hacks had gone mad after multiple failed attempts to bail her son out of jail. She egged the Quints to come up with a plan. Onc
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1860 Playing with Fire
Once the Quints returned to the main house, the family’s attitude toward Darcy would only take a turn for the worse. Master Quint and the others had a long history of using people and then throwing them away like trash. It was nothing new. Darcy did not want to be stabbed in the back again. She hoped the main family would not welcome the Quints back. That way, a humble pie would be shoved down the throats of Master Quint and the rest of the family, and they would not harass her any further. “What? Nothing to do with you?” Unable to believe her eyes, Deborah glared at her. “You carry the family bloodline, Darcy. You will forever be part of the family.“You have to obey Grandpa, or you’re turning your back on your family. “You’ll have to hand over your shares in Sky Ocean Corporation and Shangrila Group to the Ridgesouth Quints too. We won’t take no for an answer. “I’m warning you, Darcy. Things will only get worse from here if you don’t do as you’re told. Our family is
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1861 Kaze’s Pissed
Deborah’s eerie smile gave Darcy the chills. It was a hair-raising moment for Darcy. “You’re despicable.” Darcy shook in rage and said angrily, “You’re the devil, you know that? “You’re only going to get yourself killed.” “Devil?” Deborah chuckled smugly. “So be it.“Besides, I only became the devil because of you and Kaze. “Are you scared? Tsk, tsk. This is only the beginning of my revenge.” Deborah sniggered. Her laughter echoed in the empty mansion, adding a spooky vibe. Fighting back the nausea, Darcy raised her arm and looked at the time before uttering indifferently, “Kaze will be home soon. “You better leave if you don’t want to be thrown out.” Deborah shuddered. The smug look on her face vanished, bringing forth the terror. Even now, Deborah could not shake off the fear she had for Kaze. It was a result of multiple defeats and humiliations at the hands of Kaze, and the trauma haunted her. “Hmph! I’ll get even with him once he signs the Victim I

Kaze was furious. Deborah crossed the line when she threatened the lives of Hector, Agnes, and more. It was always better to be safe than sorry. Kaze did not want to sit around and wait for an attack that could put his family in danger. He would rather nip danger in the bud. After the phone call, Kaze dialed Loid’s number. “Are you cracking down on gangs or foreign entities again? Do you need my help in exerting control over the situation?” Once the call connected, Loid’s perky voice rang through. Kaze raised a brow. “Aren’t you happy? You must have good news. You don’t even mind me bothering you.” “Hahaha. I won’t call you a bother. Heck, I don’t mind helping you more.” Loid burst out laughing and said, “To be honest with you, I’m leaving the South River State soon.” “Oh? It sounds like a promotion to me. Congrats.” Kaze congratulated Loid. Loid replied with a smile, “You flatter me, Mr. God of War. It’s not exactly a promotion. “During your recent eradicat

Kaze went through the trouble of getting Loid to pass the message to avoid getting directly involved with internal affairs and stirring up gossip. He represented the military after all. “I’ll be sure to pass the message alone.” Loid was happy to help. “One more thing, Loid. Give me the resumes of those competing to be the mayor of Lilyrose.” Kaze relayed another request. Right from the start, Kaze was not going to interfere with the selection of a new mayor. He did not want to end up like Trent. However, circumstances forced his hand. Fanny was dead set on settling Miru up with Jerome to squeeze her husband into the mayoral position. The Quints’ main house, the Ridgesouth Quints, joined the race too. Even before a new mayor was announced, the Quints were ready to offer businesses to the main house in exchange for fame and privilege. It struck Kaze that the mayoral position in Lilyrose put many vested interests at stake.Lilyrose meant a lot to Kaze as a city.
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1864 Cherry Capital
Taken aback, Caleb asked, “Are you from Ryokan?” “No… Not yet, at least.” The woman clarified and said, “I was a student at the globally renowned Cousbank University. I manage Cherry Capital’s portfolio of investments. Cherry Capital runs under Cherry Bank.“But I trust my efforts will be rewarded with citizenship in Ryokan soon enough.” She was known as Violet Ren before. Rina always wished she had been born in Ryokan. Though she had not acquired citizenship there, she legally changed her name to reflect so. The woman’s abnormally fervent gaze rubbed Caleb the wrong way. “I see. Are you here on Cherry Capital’s behalf?” Caleb asked in a calm voice, the annoyance buried deep within. His personal feelings should not affect his work. It was only right to remain professional. Rina glanced at the seated stout man and said solemnly, “Mr. Leed, it’s believed that Lee Investment is putting their acquired private hospitals back into the market, and the ownership is for the may
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1865 The Wells
The stout man slammed the armrest of the chair and got up with his finger up Caleb’s face. He launched into a tirade in his native language. “What did the idiot say?” Caleb asked with a grimace. Despite his unfamiliarity with the Ryokan language, he caught the familiar slur, ‘idiot’. Hence, Caleb called the stout man the same thing. Given his position as deputy mayor, Caleb would even swear to uphold the dignity and power of the mayor’s office. “Mr. Leed!” Rina yelled sternly. She said with a solemn face, “Please show some respect to Mr. Aki. “Mr. Aki heads up the investment division at Cherry Capital. His family, the Akis, is prominent in Ryokan. Caleb scoffed. “Show him respect? Are you saying that he can call me an idiot, but I can’t? “Are you from Ryokan or Acardia, Ms. Rina?” Rina scowled and said angrily, “Mr. Leed, please watch your manners. You represent the mayor’s office. “If you continue to make these personal attacks on me, I have the right to sue you

Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3808 Say Hello
Dwight approached with a smile. He looked at Edmund earnestly. “I am Dwight McCorney. I have heard good things about you. I finally got to meet the man of the hour. “It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. Witterson.” Dwight was starstruck. Edmund was embarrassed by Dwight’s behavior. He could not believe that Dwight was a member of the Viper’s Den. Nevertheless, Dwight seemed genuine in expressing his thrill. Edmund became curious about him. He turned around to look at Kaze, who was the polar opposite of Dwight. Kaze stood there, holding his ground. He stood up to greet Edmund and nothing else. He appeared to be refined, unlike Dwight, who was brash. Dwight had no idea that his behavior had upset Edmund. Edmund looked at Dwight in disdain. However, Dwight was a member of the Viper’s Den. It was best for Edmund to keep his comments to himself. Without a word, Edmund stared at the pair. Ryan stepped in to smooth things over. “What are you doing? We have a guest here.
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3807 The Wittersons
Since Kaze would not change these people’s minds, he was better off doing what he wanted to do. “This vase must be valuable. I got to give it to Mr. Witterson. A display in the living room is worth so much.” Dwight had never seen so much luxury in one room. He had been to the museum, but the displays were nothing like he had ever seen before. The rich had the means to splurge. “Do you think this is pure gold?” Dwight turned to a gold statue. The design was to die for. The purity of color made it hard to doubt its authenticity. “I’m not too sure, but I guess most of the ornaments here are real.”Kaze watched as Dwight gasped in awe. Nevertheless, his behavior would clear any suspicion on Kaze. It could be a good thing. “I knew Mr. Witterson was rich. His businesses are doing well. “But I didn’t expect this sort of lifestyle. The gold must be worth a million dollars. “If I were this wealthy, I would not spend it on decoration.” Dwight rambled on, his eyes stuck t
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3806 Meeting Edmund
“I’m not familiar with the area. We’ll have to look around,” Dwight said behind the wheel. He looked for restaurants while driving. It was early, and many restaurants were not open for business. They circled the block and finally uncovered a small breakfast bar. They ordered some food, filled their bellies, and got back into the car. “Mr. Witterson said that he wouldn’t meet you. Why does he want to see you now?” Dwight was curious. Something must have happened last night. Otherwise, Edmund would not suddenly grant an audience to Kaze. “I don’t know. I had some drinks last night, and now he probably made time.” Kaze felt better after breakfast. He did not think much of the situation. Things would carry on as planned regardless of what the Wittersons or the Siegfrieds had to say.This was exactly what Kaze hoped for. Dwight remained in the dark. He drove to the city’s most exclusive area for the rich. It was all greenery in this part of town. The road was wider, an
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3805 Interest
After a brief hesitation, Kaze followed Rosie. The room turned out to be Rosie’s. Though not a big room, it was crammed with all kinds of junk. The place looked cluttered. Rosie approached the vanity table and grabbed the comb to comb her hair. She turned to look at Kaze. “You said a lot of stuff last night. Do you remember any of it?” Rosie spoke like they had been friends for years. It was just small talk. “What did I say? I don’t really remember. You made a lovely drink, but man, it really kicked in.” Kaze put a cigarette to his lips, but he did not light it. Instead, he spotted a chair to sit down on. “Well, it’s pointless to talk about it if you can’t remember.” Rosie was pleased to hear that. At least, Kaze had no idea that she had gotten him drunk. “Don’t leave me hanging.” Kaze looked peeved. “Are you off the clock?” Kaze asked. “Yes. I work odd hours. It’s time for me to sleep now.” Rosie stared at Kaze. “I shouldn’t keep you from resting.”
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3804 Apology
“Can you give me something for the pain?” Clemont had a low tolerance for pain. Standing on the stairway, Morris heard his voice and sighed. Clemont could do no good in his eyes. “Keep an eye on him. He’s not allowed to leave the house for the time being.” Morris believed the incident was more than meets the eye. Yet, Clemont was tricked into going to Absolute Zero and starting shit. There was no telling whether the Wittersons or someone else was behind it. Morris let out a sigh and returned to the study. He sent the butler to the storage room to fetch a few valuable antiques. These items were collected years ago, and they cost a fortune. Morris’ intention was to be on good terms with the Wittersons. There was no need to be at war with them. He had to do it for the interest of the Viper’s Den and his family. Morris was all about looking at the bigger picture. Otherwise, he would not have put up with all the bullshit before. Edmund would not let him off the ho

“Are you trying to kill your son?” Clara intervened. “You’re ruining him by spoiling him. If you want things to continue as they were, you can kiss him goodbye forever,” Morris said. Clara was lost for words. She knew better, but she just could not stop herself. Clemont had her heart. Clara could not stand to see him hurt. She was distressed. However, she knew that Morris would not get over the matter without beating Clemont up. She had to step in. “Hit him!” Morris was too old to do anything laborious. However, the kid would not go anywhere in life without a good beating. Despite starting trouble, he sure was arrogant to admit that he was wrong. “I see the errors of my ways.” Clemont apologized in time to avoid the punishment. He managed to escape all repercussions by doing so. Plus, his mother would plead on his behalf. The whole thing would usually get brushed aside. Though it was more serious in this instance, Clemont still believed that Morris would not hur
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3802 Bring the Cane
Morris was in his study, wiping a plaque of commandments that was covered in dust. Due to his commitment to the Viper’s Den, he had neglected his family for years and left his son in his wife’s care. Morris regretted doing so. Unaware of the impending danger, Clemont enjoyed drinks with his friends. They were having fun, playing drinking games. Losing the game, Clemont downed a glass of liquor. Things could get far and exciting in a game. It was then that the door swung open. Clemont’s driver entered the room. “Young Master Siegfried, the master is waiting for you at home,” the driver said, noting the complexity of the situation. The only thing on his mind was to take Clemont away. Tipsy from the drinks, Clemont waved his arm. “Let him wait. What’s the rush to get home?” Clemont’s friends were shocked. Nothing scared Clemont like his father. However, Clemont toughened up for once. “Young Master Siegfried, why don’t you call it a night?” “Yeah. I’m sur
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3801 Break Free
“What’s that supposed to mean? When have I ever made a mistake?” Morris heard nothing of that sort. It could only mean that his people had done nothing wrong. However, Edmund could not possibly get aggressive on the phone. Something must have happened, and he simply had no idea. Morris felt unsettled like something big was about to happen. “You seem to be lax when managing your people. You don’t seem to know what goes on around your house.“Is your age getting to you? Is that why you can’t handle most of the work? If you can’t get your own house in order, how will you ever manage the Viper’s Den Westeros Branch?” Edmund called to say his piece. It was his way to make Morris step down. Though it was likely that Morris would resign, Edmund could at least make things unpleasant for him. “What’s that supposed to mean?” Morris was completely in the dark, but Edmund must hold some secret to act so cocky. Despite his troubled feelings, Morris kept his cool and calmly aske
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3800 Got Into Trouble
Since it was a rare opportunity, Edmund had to settle the score with them properly. He knew opportunities like this were hard to come by so he had to seize them well. “I understand. I will take care of the guest,” Rosie said. She was glad that her information was useful to her boss. After Edmund hung up the phone, Rosie then looked at the unconscious Kaze. “You are indeed more useful than I thought. Hardly anyone has ever managed to impress Edmund.” She did not feel sorry for Kaze, believing that everything happened as it was meant to. She knew that to climb higher, she had to please her superior. With the Wittersons on the rise, now was the perfect time for her to pledge her loyalty to Edmund. When the Wittersons truly took over the Westeros Branch, she would become one of the most powerful people in the city, second only to them. She was looking forward to that day. Since Kaze was fast asleep and no arrangements could be made, Rosie went out to call her men and
