Semua Bab Guardian-In-Law: Bab 4051 - Bab 4060

“That’s rich coming from you. Why should I put in the good word for you?” Edmund read Jorge like a book. The latter was out to replace him and seize a portion of his authority. Without the existence of trust, Kaze might just follow through with that. A leader would delegate tasks and put the right men in the right jobs instead of taking on the whole responsibility. If Kaze did not have faith in Edmund, he could very well promote another person to even out the play of dynamics. Edmund would gradually lose his monopoly while Kaze would have two deputies locked in a bitter struggle. It was the ideal scenario for Kaze. Kaze could just entrust all affairs to two deputies because they would keep each other in line and watch their backs. “You need an ally, regardless of who you have in your corner. He also needs someone to rein you in,” Jorge said confidently. Jorge believed his presence was necessary to keep Edmund in line. “That’s true, but you will become my rival. Why

“Thank you for your advice, Devon. I will owe you one if I do get promoted.” Dwight could sense the disparity in Devon’s attitude toward him. Due to the difference, Dwight was desperate to secure a spot higher in the social hierarchy. Despite feeling out of touch, Dwight enjoyed the attention and adoration from his peers when he arrived at the branch. Now that he exited Devon’s office, these people avoided him as if he were invisible again. Dwight realized that his standing stemmed from Kaze’s attitude toward him. After much thought, Dwight believed he had been nothing but professional to Kaze. There was a lot of ingratiation involved. Nevertheless, they bonded well. At least, they did not become enemies. It would feel forceful for Dwight to ask Kaze for a cushy job. Devon kept his head down, engrossed in his head to completely disregard what was said. It was a waste of Devon’s time to pay attention to an idiot who would not jump on a great opportunity right under his

“I can’t believe you’re a member of the Viper’s Den, but you have the cheek to barge into Mr. Witterson’s villa after the recent incident.” The security officer turned stern, contemplating a punishment fit for Dwight. “I know the conflict between Mr. Witterson and Mr. Siegfried. With Mr. Witterson emerging as the winner, the Westeros Branch is now in his control.” Dwight gave a detailed account. “So you have no idea what has happened. What have you been up to anyway?” The security officer approached as if he was about to attack Dwight. “I went away on a trip. I took a leave of absence,” Dwight replied earnestly. By the look in his eyes, Dwight did not look like he was lying. His timely escape from the recent conflict was rather suspicious. “Isn’t it odd that you were away then?”“What on earth happened? Was it wrong for me to leave at the time?” As the straightforward person that he was, Dwight cut to the chase. “You wouldn’t be under suspicion if you hadn’t come h

“What brings you here?” Kaze asked, getting straight to the point. Dwight sat across from Kaze and smiled awkwardly at him. In truth, he was lost for words.From this interaction, it was clear they had grown apart. However, Dwight was relentless in pursuing a higher position on account of their previous bond. Kaze was now the branch leader. If Dwight could get a word in, he would rise in the ranks. Dwight would not need to grovel just to land a cushy role. If he could just mention it to Kaze, the latter would get him sorted out. Even though Dwight was direct and poor at reading people, he was certain about one thing, and that was Kaze had his back. Nevertheless, it did not seem right of him to be so blunt about his request. Dwight might come across as pushy. “It’s nothing, really. I was worried because I didn’t see you around when I got back. I thought I should check on you to make sure you’re fine.” Dwight brought something else up instead of expressing his wish o

“Chairman Lee, I personally trained the team here. I can still be on top of things if any issues arise. It will be fine. “Even if I need to step in to intervene, I’m just a video conference call away from running the operation in Butterworth. “I volunteered to help, confident that I can manage both ends.” Eager to get Kaze’s consent, Snow showed just how earnest she was. It was not an opportunity she would come across every day, so her nerves were tense. She had not seen Kaze in a long time. Here she thought his voice would be enough for her. Yet now, Snow could not wait to see Kaze. Sure, she was asking for a lot. However, Snow just could not help but put herself out there. “You should know the intricate responsibilities that come with the branch leader title. I need a capable assistant to restructure the team and re-evaluate connections.” Kaze had to sound grim to demonstrate the gravity of the matter to Snow. “I know. I put myself up for the job, knowing well I
