Semua Bab Guardian-In-Law: Bab 1961 - Bab 1970

The crowd, including Victor and the heads of government agencies, was mostly locals.They turned a deaf ear to Jackson’s country bumpkin comment. Victor nodded. “The guy sure is cocky. What punishment are you thinking, Mr. Quint?” He would need to know Jackson’s request to grant it. Jackson let out a menacing smile. “I want to break his limbs and make him plead on his knees. I don’t mind killing him if he refuses to follow through.” “Kill him? Um…” Victor was hesitant. He could explain the limb fractures as accidental while enforcing the law. However, no excuse was good enough to cover up the loss of a life. “What are you worried about, Victor?” Jackson said indifferently, “I don’t know how things work with your former mayor, but my dad doesn’t tolerate nonsense. “He won’t stand for criminals threatening abuse and violence on his turf. He doesn’t mind enforcing the death penalty in this case. “My dad doesn’t care for the criminals. His focus will be Lilyrose’s ec

“Argh!” Jackson’s head snapped back from impact, and blood leaked out of his nostrils. The swelling on his face, which subsided from medication, returned. Jackson’s cries filled the otherwise quiet office. The crowd stared at Victor in shock. Instead of going after Kaze, Victor attacked Jackson. What was going on? Jackson found it the hardest to accept reality. With a hand over his face, he looked at Victor in disbelief. “What has gotten into you, Victor?” “Smack!” Victor’s response was another slap in the face. Jackson was about to lose it. Victor was supposed to be on Jackson’s side. Yet, he said nothing in Kaze’s presence and even turned around to hit Jackson. Jackson could not swallow the humiliation. It had to be a joke. Shaking in rage, Jackson narrowed his eyes menacingly and shouted angrily, “Are you asking for trouble, Victor?” “Smack!” Victor gave him another slap. This time, Jackson landed hard on his bottom and spat out blood and two tee

Jackson was arrogant, but he was no fool. He picked up on Victor’s subservience toward Kaze and the apprehensive looks from the heads of the governing bodies.Jackson would be silly if he still thought Kaze was just the chairman of a corporation with a bit of money in his pockets. There was clearly something more to Kaze. The government servants seemed wary of Kaze. Jackson looked at the heads of the governing bodies. Unable to read Kaze’s mind, the leaders averted Jackson’s gaze and remained quiet. Victor would not even look at Jackson. Kaze crossed his legs and said with a pretentious smile, “Don’t you have extensive connections? Why don’t you ask around?” Since Kaze had nothing better to do, he did not mind teasing Jackson further. Without another word, Jackson whipped out his phone. However, his mobile screen was smashed after Victor slapped him to the ground. “Get on it, Evan!” Jackson looked at his sidekick. Evan’s face turned ashen, having been thrown into

The scene of Jackson holding his arm while rolling on the ground in agony sent a powerful message to everybody. It was wise not to upset Kaze. Kaze had not been in the next-door office for long when Snow entered. Sipping on tea, Kaze looked up at Snow and asked, “What’s the progress on shifting Perfect World Group’s core business to Riverbank City, Snow?” “We are moving along as planned, Chairman Lee. We are keen to rent one of the selected few office buildings in Riverbank as our branch there.” Kaze waved his arm. “Just purchase the building if possible. Nothing beats having your own property. Besides, owning a Riverbank City’s office building is a good investment.” “Alright.” Snow nodded and said, “But there’s one more thing to note before our move to Riverbank City.”“Oh?” Kaze lifted his head curiously. Snow approached and spread some sheets in front of Kaze. She said, “Rove is going public, Chairman Lee. “Perfect World Group owns most of Rove shares, so we’

Mason made himself clear. It was unlike Sieg to suggest backing down and giving in. Sieg said earnestly, “I have crossed paths with Kaze before and admittedly been burned by him. He’s an arrogant prick, and nothing gets through to him. “It won’t be easy for you to become the mayor if you intend to exert your authority over him.” Mason frowned and took a good look at Sieg. “Thank you for the heads-up, Mr. Lyfe. Still, I am a father first. I can’t sit back and do nothing after what happened to my son.“Besides, I didn’t come to Lilyrose to become a mayor figurehead. “How am I supposed to govern Lilyrose if I let a former mayor walk all over me? “I’ve got a bone to pick with Kaze for both personal and professional reasons.” Mason spoke righteously without a hint of pretense. He was speaking from the heart. Though Mason needed to go through Kaze to become the mayor, he would not beg and plead to get his approval. Sieg replied, “I’m impressed with your devotion, May
