Darcy scoffed and rolled her eyes. Kaze suddenly had a way with words. “What else are you keeping from us, Kaze?” Darcy asked, her voice a mix of annoyance and excitement.When Darcy was named the head of the Lilyrose Quints two days ago, Agnes no longer thought Kaze was good enough for her daughter. Yet now, Kaze’s position at Perfect World Group dismissed Agnes’ opinion. He was the chairman of Perfect World Group. Kaze always seemed to blow Darcy and her parents away with surprises. “Mom, truth be told, I—” Parting his mouth, Kaze was about to reveal who he really was.However, Agnes waved her arm. “Never mind. I’m not trying to criticize you. All I care about is that you and Darcy are happy together. “That reminds me. When are you planning to have a baby with Kaze?” Agnes’ question threw Darcy for a loop. Though Agnes no longer insisted that Darcy and Kaze slept in different rooms, she made sure they were safe against pregnancy. Agnes, likely bitter about the

Some local residents of Lilyrose seized the opportunity to curry favor with Mason, hoping to establish a solid relationship upon his appointment as mayor. It was their chance to ensure success in the coming years. “Mayor Quint.” “Welcome to Lilyrose. The city will only get better under your leadership.” “We have faith in you to govern the city, Mayor Quint.” The crowd greeted Mason. They acted like Mason already got the job. These people flattered Mason in the presence of Kaze, the former mayor. The reality was that Kaze was already yesterday’s news. “Hello, everybody.” Mason responded with a smile, carrying himself humbly and discreetly. No one could fault his kind manners. Passing through the crowd, Mason made his way to the Quints. The group behind Mason behaved cockily. Jackson, whose head and arm were patched up, was among the people. He looked at Kaze grimly. “Uncle Mason, I am Darcy.” Darcy, the head of the household, went up to introduce herself.

Kaze frowned but did not make a move. He was not as naїve as Darcy and his in-laws. Not to mention that he was reluctant to be listed in the Quint family’s Golden Family Registry, when Mason mentioned it, Kaze sensed conspiracy. At first, Kaze thought Mason sided with him because of the upcoming mayoral appointment and it was to return the favor at a later date. However, when he saw the frostiness in Mason’s eyes when he looked at him, Kaze realized it was not as he thought it would be. When Mason voiced out his suggestion, Kaze knew his suspicion was right. “However, the Ridgesouth Quints have a rule. The live-in son-in-law must change his last name to be listed in the Golden Family Registry. For example, Kaze Lee’s name must be changed to Kaze Quint. “Once the name is listed, he or she will be a Quint forever, alive or dead. When the time demands it, a Quint family member must be prepared to sacrifice for the family’s greater good. “What do you say, Kaze?” Mason said

It was just that things had taken an unexpected turn. Mason thought of Kaze rejecting but not in this humiliating way. He was aggrieved. It felt like a debate where one party was carefully choosing their words not to use vulgarities to maintain composure, while the other side bluntly resorted to outright hostility and said ‘fuck you’ in the face. Mason was the one trying to maintain composure while Kaze was the one who said ‘fuck you’ in his face. Thus Mason’s face flushed with emotions. “Kaze Lee, how dare you!” Jackson was also furious and aggrieved. If his father became Kaze’s godson, then it would make him Kaze’s god-grandson! He stepped up, pointed at Kaze, and shouted, “Know your place! My father is the head and the face of the Ridgesouth Quints, he represents us all! “You are just a live-in son-in-law of one of our tiny branch families. Who gave you the confidence and the audacity to challenge and insult my father like that?” Kaze looked at him and said indif

Darcy was deeply concerned but it had come down to the worst situation and her only option was to side with Kaze. Kaze did not care about the people’s criticism. He smiled at Mason as if he was enjoying the anger on Mason’s face. “Yeah, I just broke your son’s arm, again. What can you do? You represent the Ridgesouth Quints and that gives you the right to run roughshod over me? I just hit back to teach your son a little lesson and you are that pissed off?” Mason almost passed out when Kaze referred to breaking Jackson’s arm as a ‘little lesson’. His eyes bulged and widened. He bellowed, “Kaze, you are asking for it! You really think there’s a place for you in our family after what you’ve done?” “I don’t care if your family has no place for me. I’ll make it straight for you. This is Lilyrose and even if your entire family is here, they will have to kneel before me with no complaints,” Kaze said scornfully. “Besides, you are just one man, Mason Quint, and you are not even may
