“Fanny, everyone now knows that to become Lilyrose’s mayor, Kaze Lee must give his approval. I believe it’s because he is related to the Lilyrose New City project. “This project is huge and it is sustainable with a bright future. That’s why the cabinet wanted the successor to align with the path that Kaze Lee had determined beforehand...” “I… I…” Fanny’s jaw dropped as she listened to her husband’s explanation. She did not listen to what Jared said after that because her mind only had one thought: the candidate for the new mayor must get Kaze’s approval. Was it purely coincidence, or did Kaze know it beforehand, hence the bet? “Fanny, are you listening to me? I remember you saying you are going to Lilyrose looking for trouble with him. Have you met him yet? Please tell me you haven’t! “I’m telling you, he’s the key to me becoming the mayor of Lilyrose. You cannot offend him in any way…” Jared sounded nervous and excited on the phone but Fanny was at a loss of words. …

“Mr. Ceb.” The man was Mr. Ceb, not the dogs. Master Quint inhaled deeply and got up to meet the man. He was afraid of the man who was overflowing with wickedness. “Mr. Ceb, I would like you to follow me to Horizon Mirror Mansion,” Deborah requested politely. “Not a problem!” Mr. Ceb grinned and nodded. …Horizon Mirror Mansion. After returning from the Quints’ mansion, Agnes made a feast and asked Darcy to bring Kaze back immediately. Darcy was surprised by her mother’s unusual reaction but believed it was with good intentions, so she called Kaze. Sky and Agatha’s family were also around. Everyone sat down at the table to eat a meal. “Kaze, I have to return to Sunrise in a few days to continue my studies. Can you visit me at my grandparent’s house next time?” Rose said to Kaze. Since Nelson was working in the military, Agatha usually stayed at the Otters’ place with her children. Rose might still be young but she knew her aunt, Agnes, rarely spoke to her b

Agnes’ expression turned gloomy after hearing her husband. She grunted at the end and stayed quiet. Since her husband and daughter had spoken up, she realized she might have been carried away. “I knew it. It’s always Grandfather and them.” Darcy’s expression turned bitter. She had yet to tell her parents about the Quint family maliciously acquiring the shares of Sky Ocean Corporation. She did not expect them to be so shameless as well. How could they pretend nothing had happened and instigate her mother to coax Kaze? If Master Quint and the others got what they wanted, they would surely get back at Darcy and her family ten times over. “Dad, Mom, there’s something you guys…” Darcy told her parents about the Quint family’s malicious intentions and Deborah trying to force her into submission. Hector’s and Agnes’ expressions shifted when they learned what happened. “Father and the others are too much! Whenever they get the chance, they always try to hurt us! Since whe

Darcy’s face turned pale but after glancing at Kaze, she shook her head strongly. “Mason Quint becoming the mayor is a serious matter. It’s not something our family can change. I cannot agree with that. “As for releasing Kingston Hacks, unless Madam Hacks can openly promise that Kingston won’t come after our family after he is released, it won’t happen. That’s my final offer.” Darcy knew she could not just simply agree to the terms but also did not completely shut off the possibilities for negotiations. “You want Madam Hacks to openly promise you?” Deborah scoffed, “Darcy, who do you think you are? Why would you think my godmother would make an open promise? “My godmother told me this morning that not only must your husband sign the Victim Impact Statement, but you will also have to sleep with Kingston for a night upon his release—consider it a welcome-back gift! Who gave you the courage to decline it? “Do you know what the Quints of Ridgesouth represent? The family is po

The three dog slaves were experts. They jumped in front of Darcy so quickly that the others did not have the time to react. Darcy shut her eyes in fear. She might be resolute but when danger arrived, fear still consumed her. Bang! Suddenly, someone appeared in front of her and kicked the first dog slave away, sending the man crashing and bleeding. “Kaze Lee!” Deborah screamed with hatred and resentment. Darcy instinctively opened her eyes when she heard his name being called. When she saw the familiar figure standing in front of her, her eyes teared up. No matter how dangerous it was or when it was, there was a man who would always stand up for her, protecting her from everything else. Agnes and the others looked at Kaze in shock. They knew Kaze was strong but little did they expect him to have the guts to fight back against Mr. Ceb and his hounds. Turning a deaf ear to Deborah’s scream, Kaze went up and kicked two more times. Thud! Thud! The other two dog sla
