Semua Bab Guardian-In-Law: Bab 4101 - Bab 4110

“It’s too dangerous, Mr. Lee.” Edmund wanted to take precautions in case Kaze got hurt. “Don’t worry. This feels light. I doubt there’s a hidden weapon.” Kaze would never assign his team to the riskiest jobs, always putting their lives first. In situations such as this, Kaze would take matters into his own hands. If there was a booby trap in the folder, Kaze was more than capable of dodging the attack without putting anybody at risk. As usual, Snow would take a seat next to Kaze. It was amusing to see Edmund breaking out in a sweat. “Sit down, Mr. Witterson. There’s no need to get worked up,” Snow persuaded. Ryan approached Kaze, intending to open the folder for Kaze. Before he could say anything, Kaze ripped the package open and retrieved the item inside. “But that’s dangerous.” Edmund watched as Kaze poured a stack of papers out of the folder. With nothing else emerging, Edmund heaved relief. “Not to worry. Chairman Lee doesn’t delegate the dangerous stuff to

Despite his anger, Edmund said nothing more. No good would come to it anyway. “You clearly show no remorse. I was anticipating an apology, not a full-blown confession.” Edmund could not shake off his disappointment. However, he did not want to waste more time on the matter. “What’s there to apologize for? You’re the one who owes me, not the other way around.” Zidane was stubborn, convinced that he was in the right. Disappointment overcame Edmund. He believed he had done right by Zidane, but the latter put the blame on him anyway. “Oh, don’t push it. You know perfectly well what you have done. You’re only confessing out of guilt,” unable to put up with the injustice, Ryan spoke up for Edmund. Instead of reflecting on themselves, these people blamed their lack of progress on someone else. “You’re just a lapdog. I’d love to see how far you’d get. Just so you know, the higher you climb, the harder the fall.” Zidane was smug to think things would not end well for Ryan. Ta

“Aren’t you jumping the gun? You’re already planning for Snow to stay without asking her about what she wants.” Kaze found Edmund diving too quickly into things. “I’m not getting any younger. It’s time for me to settle down. Besides, I can’t run the business all on my own. I need help.” Edmund needed more than a trophy wife, someone capable and sensible. The comment did not sit well with Kaze. It sounded like Edmund was only taking a wife to help manage the family business instead of building an emotional connection with. “That’s between you. If Snow is all for it, I won’t stop her. I won’t sway her to accept you either.” Kaze remained firm on that front. “But I’m curious. If you’re only interested in a marriage without love and affection, I’d advise you against messing around with Snow.” Kaze did not say that out of jealousy. Edmund did not seem to show Snow enough respect. “You got the wrong idea, Mr. Lee. Ms. Frost is an amazing woman with a privileged upbringing

Snow’s response put Edmund in an awkward spot. Still, he was relentless in his pursuit. “It is none of my business, but since you’re here for my sake, I should at least be a good host to you, Ms. Frost,” Edmund explained, trying to show his good intentions. The guy seemed nuts to Snow. She had been pretty blunt. Yet, Edmund was eager to suck up to her instead of getting angry. Surely, Edmund must be devoted to Kaze. Snow could not find any other explanation for Edmund’s bizarre behavior. “It’s almost time. We should get going,” Kaze said while getting up. He did want to be where the pair would start a fight. Catching feelings for Snow, Edmund worked hard for her affection. It was a pity that Snow did not feel the same way about Edmund or recognize his advances. She simply shut him down. They were not on the same page at all. One was pretty adamant in pushing while the other was setting boundaries. It did not seem like they could be together. Despite seeing through

Edmund felt disturbed every time he thought about the matter. However, there was no hiding from certain things. Edmund knew Clarice too well. If Clarice were to find out, she would spring into action instead of staying put. Clarice, the bold character that she was, was not one to back down. She was vulnerable to a world of hurt. Yet, Edmund was powerless to stop it. Knowing how much Clarice was struggling silently, Edmund had to put an end to it. Alas, his hands were tied. Clarice deserved nothing but the best. However, it was not something Edmund, as a father, could provide for her. While Edmund would love to keep the matter from Clarice, the likelihood of her finding out was huge. Clarice had been lying low at the family residence, not stepping her foot out. After the last incident, Clarice realized what was precious in life. Her father’s near-death experience gave her anxiety. Her only wish was for him to be safe and sound. Her wish came true, and she could n
