โIf you wonโt listen to reason, Iโll have to send you abroad and leave you to fend for yourself.โ Katie would have no choice but to ditch Leah if she became too hard to manage. Leah never thought that her mother would say such a thing. While Katie was a callous mother to her, it never crossed Leahโs mind that Katie would send her away. Leah did not want to leave Arcadia. It would cut her off from the person she wanted to meet. Though it was uncertain whether she could see Kaze again, the odds would be in her favor if she stayed. Leah was defenseless against Katieโs coercion. With Leah falling silent, Katie knew that she was moving in the right direction. โBe a good girl, and Iโll make it worth your while. Youโre my daughter. Of course, I love you and want whatโs best for you.โ Katie backed up a little to ease the tension. โYou donโt have to do anything. Just stay with me. Thereโs still room for discussion if marriage isnโt for you right now.โ Katie knew her daught
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 3603 Not Alright
โBut you run the place. I doubt anyone would try anything. The guy just didnโt know any better.โ Leah acted like she did not care. In truth, Kaze was standing tall and proud in her head. โOh, I hope you will give me fewer things to worry about. Put up a few days at home, and you can come back to stay at the hotel after the birthday party.โ Katie rejected Leahโs proposal. She could not possibly let her daughter stay elsewhere when she had a home. Leah understood that while her mother seemed easy to talk to, the latter would not budge when her boundaries were crossed. โGot it.โ Leah pretended to be compliant. โThe housekeeper will go shopping with you to pick out some clothes and jewelry.โ Katie was generous to her daughter, especially when she behaved. Freedom was the one thing Katie took from Leah. โIโll shop around, but I donโt need anyone following me.โ Leah did not like being controlled. โBe good now. Your birthday party is around the corner. All eyes are on

โItโs your birthday party tomorrow. You might want to cut down on your drinking. Donโt do anything rash.โ Joey could tell that Leah had a problem with her. As Katieโs assistant, Joey had a lot on her plate. However, some things were out of her hands. Joey could not do anything about their mother-daughter problems. Since she could not fix anything, she had to leave them to it. โPfft.โ Leah had been hoping to run into Kaze, but he was nowhere to be found lately. Disappointment washed over Leah, but the only thing she could do was wait. โIs there someone youโre waiting for?โ Joey often caught Leah turning to look at the entrance. She would turn around every time an individual walked through the door. โAre you just going to tell on me again?โ Leah did not like to be threatened. Most importantly, she did not want Katie to know about this. She was not mean to Joey on purpose. Leahโs words came off harsh because she was feeling down. โI wonโt tell on you. I just feel

โWe should make the call for our kids. Theyโre too young to know much,โ Jonathan uttered. โExcuse me while I tend to other guests. You should get inside. We can talk later.โ Katie was not keen on pursuing the subject. Joey rose to her feet and led Jonathan and Kody into the event hall. Jonathan kept pressing on, only to find Katie brushing him off. He was upset. However, Katie had the power to ruin his business. Jonathan knew better than to rub her the wrong way. He joined others in the hall. Katie was all decked out to befriend more potential business partners. Leah started getting ready first thing in the morning. She was dolled up nicely too. She looked like an elegant princess in the pink tutu dress. The outfit brought out an adorable side to her. Leah picked out the dress a while back, and it was only one of its kind. The dress was air-shipped to her. The dress was tailored to fit her perfectly. She looked refined with her long, black hair resting behind
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 3606 Birthday Party
Joey did not expect her comment to upset Leah. Leah should not be throwing a tantrum on an important day like this. However, Leahโs mind was elsewhere, to begin with. She merely stayed at the hotel to increase her chances of running into Kaze. Luck was not on her side because Leah did not see Kaze again. Leah felt down, but she was reluctant to leave. Despite feeling annoyed about being pushed around today, Leah could only sit around and wait. Joeyโs remark made Leah feel like she was a commodity. Her mood dropped to an all-time low. Leah kept to herself, not keen to carry on with this life. Her life bore no meaning. She was her motherโs mindless puppet. โWhy the sudden frown? Not everybody gets to wear such a beautiful gown,โ flustered, Joey consoled her. She could not understand Leahโs change of mood. โIโm fine. I just feel uneasy about joining everybody at the event hall.โ Leah knew she should not be headstrong, but the words just came out of her mouth. T
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 3607 Spotlight
Leah was glowing in her princess outfit today. โThank you, Joey. Youโve worked hard for my birthday party.โLeah was thankful to hear her friendsโ well wishes from Joey. โI didnโt do much. Madam Loren is the one doing the heavy lifting.โ Joey put in the good word for Katie.โMy mother only barks orders. She wonโt do things herself,โ standing in the elevator, Leah murmured. For that reason, Leah did not have much expectation for her mother. Leah would celebrate her birthday with an intimate party at the villa every year. This year was special and more elaborate. Leah enjoyed putting a look together, but she was no commodity. Most of the attendees were Katieโs business partners or bootlickers. Leah felt like a product up for sale, and she did not even have a say about it. The choice was in the customersโ hands. โDonโt say that. Madam Loren had been keeping an eye on the event planning. Though she wasnโt here, she determined every detail, including the flowers.โ Al

โYouโre finally growing up.โ Katie was pleased. โThank you for your guidance, Mom. You need to get one thing straight, though. Donโt force me to do the things that I donโt want to do,โ Leah whispered. Marriage was not the path she chose. โToday is just about formalities. You wonโt have to commit to anything. We can talk about this later. If you see someone you fancy, you can talk to me.โ Katie would not pick a fight with her daughter on an important day like this. She gave Leah some space. At the very least, Katie would not upset Leah right now. Though Leah did not get the answer she was looking for, Katie had backed down a little. Hence, Leah said nothing. As the pair smiled politely from across the room, the crowd grew envious of them. โEven though Katie is a grown adult, she looks young and beautiful for her age.โ Jonathanโs breath was taken away. It was no secret that Leah was beautiful, but the mother-and-daughter duo held their own when standing together. Le
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 3609 Your Marriage Isnโt Your Own
Jonathan, a glass of wine in hand, approached Katie with his son. โYoung Kody is a fine man himself,โ Katie said courteously. โOh, heโs the bane of my life. I think daughters are the best,โ Jonathan said gleefully, his eyes running down Leah. Leah was stunning when she was put together. Her poise reflected her upbringing in a well-bred family. She would make a perfect daughter-in-law for Jonathan. Jonathan had always wanted to be a family with Katie, but the latter was against it. โThe kids are still young. They will understand our pain when they grow up. My girl still has her moments too.โ Katie got the hint. However, she refused to engage with Jonathan. โThey are around the same age. My son just got back from abroad. He could use some showing around. If Leah isnโt too busy, she can take my son around the city.โ Jonathan took his chances. โThatโs up to Leah. I wonโt stop her if sheโs available.โ Katie was not saying no or yes. โThe young people have their own t

โGive me an answer. Are you taking the job? If you are, you should sort out your affairs. Donโt bring your personal feelings to work.โ 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. โI didnโt know things would happen.โ 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

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. โWhy is this happening? My good friends have gone MIA, and Iโm getting silence from those who have been trying to connect.โ Sitting on the couch, Leah looked out the window in despair. She tried to seek help with her motherโs search, but her efforts were futile. She could do nothing for her mother. All al
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 3750 Take Over Northborn
โI have to work hard starting today. But before that, I have to get some sleep.โ 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. Katieโs 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
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 3749 Boarding Again
โWorried about the mercenaries? Iโve taken all of them out and anyone with a sane mind would know by now not to come after me. Why would they make the same mistake again?โ Kaze killed all the mercenaries. There was no one else the mastermind could send after him anymore. Even if there were, they would have to reconsider it after what had happened. Taking out the mercenaries in silence was a strong showcase of his strength. Once the mastermind found out, he or she would definitely stay away. Besides, Kaze had decided to continue his journey to Westeros without telling anyone. He could board a random flight to his destination, and no one would ever know. โTake me to the airport,โ Kaze said to the driver. He and Snow were in the rear seat. โWhen you go back to Butterworth, donโt rush things. Now that Katie has made a mistake and is forced to step down, you can take over Northborn Group,โ Kaze said. โSpeaking of Katie, after I locked her up, her daughter, Leah, came to me
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 3748 Dust Settled
Miguel stated his strength so that Kaze and Snow would look at him differently. โThat doesnโt mean we have to choose you.โ Snow saw nothing stellar in him. Snowโs harsh words surprised Miguel and left him deeply displeased. Yet when he looked at Kaze, he dared not say a word. โI can work hard. Even if I am not qualified now, I can work toward that goal.โ โOf course, you are not qualified now. You need to improve yourself to meet the basic requirements. Then weโll talk about you joining us.โ Snow just wanted to get this matter over and done with, so she handed Miguel her name card. โWhen you think you are qualified, you can give me a call.โ Since she would eventually take over the largest force in Butterworth, she needed to build a team of her ownโone she could truly trust. Miguel might just be an ordinary man who looked fierce but he was courageous and had the potential to be better. โCan I follow him instead?โ Miguel took the name card and learned Snowโs name. He
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 3747 Can I Follow You?
โYou did well,โ Kaze praised Miguel. It was not easy for someone to fire a gun and take a life, even when he had basic training. Though without the proper technique and training, the shot was nothing stellar. โReally?โ Miguel was thrilled by the praise. He might be tall and fit and have arms full of tattoos, but he had never gotten into a fight before. He was happy that someone he admired praised him. It made his day even more than escaping alive. Kaze wanted to continue but the cars had arrived. He walked forward and revealed himself in front of the headlights. The hostages were scared. They stepped back, some of them entered the hangar once more and tried to shut the door. Miguel stood in their way and stopped them from closing it up. โWhat are you doing? Kaze is still here and help has arrived. Stop hiding,โ he said. He detested their selfish behavior. Kaze saved them but they did not even thank him. They even continued to suspect Kazeโs identity.

โHow dare those men hijack the plane and take Kaze. They must be punishedโฆโ Despite her grumbles, Snow grew anxious. โGiven Mr. Leeโs capabilities, he wonโt be hurt.โ The agents around her tried to comfort her. They believed she was being too nervous. โI know, but we as subordinates have failed him by allowing this to happen. We have to do our best to make up for the mistake, and not rely on Mr. Lee to get out because he can.โ Snow drowned in self-blame and regretted not being able to help. It was her negligence that allowed the hijacking to happen. โBut thereโs nothing you can do now. Itโs late. Even the hijackers need to rest. They wonโt do anything yet.โ โItโs because the hijackers need to rest that we have to hurry and beat them to it. Thatโs the only way to solve this matter!โ โBut weโve searched high and low and didnโt find anything. No one knows where they have gone. Even if they transported the passengers via buses, we didnโt see any tracks.โ The agents discu
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 3745 It's Done
Kaze breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly went over to Miguel and pressed his hands with the gun down so that it would not misfire. โGood job.โ โThanks.โ Miguel curled his lips into a nervous smile. He frequently trained in the gym and mixed martial arts but had never encountered any real-life incident before, thus being inexperienced. Fortunately, his mentality was stronger than the others and allowed him to act accordingly. โIโll be taking the gun. This is self-defense, you wonโt be charged and you wonโt need to take responsibility,โ Kaze said. Miguelโs pale face looked relieved. โWhat should we do now? Are there more of them?โ Miguel dared not let go of the gun, worried there might be more enemies. โIโve counted the numbers and this guy here should be the last one.โ He then took the gun from Miguelโs hands. โReally? Gosh! That was crazy! I was so terrified!โ Miguel finally loosened up and let his instinct take over. His heart was pounding so fast that it

Manson came over and saw the mercenaries lying in their own puddle of blood. The gore shocked him and made him sick. He tried his best to hold back the urge to throw up as it would attract attention. โDonโt look if you canโt take it! Donโt make things worse!โ โYeah! Professor! Grow a pair of balls!โ โI have never seen dead bodies like this before!โ he explained with a flush of embarrassment on his face. โCan we go out now and run away?โ The hostages were eager to leave as things had settled down outside. They thought the danger was over. A dead mercenary was inside the container with them and they were still horrified. Once the others found out about this, the hostages would be shot to death. โIf you want to die, be my guest. The moment you step out, youโll be shot!โ Callahan said as he looked at the others scornfully. One of the hostages had already put his hand on the handle of the door and was ready to dash out, but he quickly pulled his hand back after listening
