Semua Bab Guardian-In-Law: Bab 3871 - Bab 3880

Clemont looked at the closed door with a mix of emotions. As the anesthesia wore off, pain finally crawled under his skin. The sensation put him in agony, and his resentment grew. “I’ve only gone after Clarice and no one else. I bet Clarice and Kaze did this.” It never occurred to Clemont that payback would come so soon, and he would be injured. Clarice and Kaze sure acted fast. Clemont thanked his lucky stars for surviving. He was bitter about the hit-and-run incident. Either way, he would get his revenge on Clarice and Kaze. The plan was set for last night. Yet, Kaze had busted in to save Clarice like a hero, foiling Clemont’s plan. At the time, Clemont chickened out of hurting Clarice after spotting Kaze. However, it was too late for Clemont to pull out. Backing out was no longer an option. In the end, Kaze got hurt while Clarice escaped the incident unscathed. “I bet they are behind this. Who else would get back at me?” Clemont was aware he was no saint, b

“Foreign mercenaries? That’s quite a request, but I might be able to help you.” Jackie had no clue what Clemont had gotten himself into. However, it was not the time to upset Clemont, especially when he was angry. “But nothing happened last night. Why did these people attack you instead? They went too far.” Jackie felt bad for Clemont. Clemont believed he was in the right. “I bet Kaze is trying to be the hero.”Clemont put all the blame on Kaze. It did not matter whether Kaze was involved. Clemont would take out his anger on Kaze. After all, Kaze had to be the hero and save Clarice. Jackie knew that things just got complicated. So he got down to the job to help Clemont get in touch with international guns for hire. “I know of a guy, Young Master Siegfried. He’s a professional killer. He used to be a contract soldier, but he is too damn good at his job and became a hitman instead.” Jackie came to know this person by chance. It would take some networking to reach h

“Hey, guys!” Clarice greeted her friends warmly as they came in. Her friends were surprised to see her. One even took off their glasses and widened their eyes at her in disbelief. “Since when did you change your clothes? And makeup? You look good, though.” “Don’t I? I told you I could handle any style.” Clarice chatted happily with her friends. Kaze wanted to leave the group and sit in the corner for a brief moment of peace and quiet. Yet when he stood up, Clarice grabbed his hand and introduced him to her friends. “This is Kaze, my savior. If not for him, I would have died yesterday.” She did not tell her friends that he became her bodyguard. It was not just out of respect for him, but also a setup for the upcoming matter. She wanted to use this chance to get to know him more, hoping their relationship could eventually develop into something romantic. “What happened? You were in danger?” “I told you it’s dangerous to be on those heavy bikes. You should have c

“Look at you, getting riled up. I guess you like your little boyfriend a lot.” Phoebe was having a bad day, and when she bumped into Clarice, she decided to air her grievance at her. She just wanted to clear the troubled feelings in her and vent out the emotions. Growing up in a powerful family, socialites like Phoebe were forced to attend all sorts of classes to make them into a true noble lady. Even though they managed to live up to everyone’s idea of a good girl, they had their own set of troubles.They had no say in their marriage, for instance.From the very beginning, they knew how things would go. The moment marriage became a topic, it was clear they would not get to choose their husbands. That choice belonged to their families.For them, marriage was not about love. It was a business deal, a tool to strengthen the family.Phoebe had received some bad news recently. No matter how unhappy she was about it, she still had to quietly accept it.Still, she was hoping to

“Even so, you can’t just accept it. Clarice was being too much!” Phoebe had no idea that she had walked into a trap. Jorge wanted her to accept it. He saw this as his chance to educate her daughter better. While Phoebe was raised as a noble lady, she was too proud. It blinded her from having a clear view of the situation. The Pammes might be an influential figure in Westeros and were respected by many on all occasions. However, they did not have actual power over the city, which explained why Jorge was restless. If the Pammes could join forces with the Siegfrieds, he could use the union to warn those who had their eyes on his family. In fact, even Edmund might have to respect his daughter in the future, let alone Clarice. Phoebe was still too young and inexperienced to see through the situation. If she could understand even half of it, she would not worry at all. “I don’t take any humiliation lightly or want my daughter to be offended. But I don’t have the necessary
