Semua Bab Guardian-In-Law: Bab 4111 - Bab 4120

“What’s there to say? Snow is Kaze’s assistant, and she’s here to tie up loose ends. She’ll be gone before you know it.” The intention behind Edmund’s remark was to reassure Clarice. With time in isolation, Clarice would forget that stirring feeling and get along with Kaze as if nothing had ever happened. Edmund had a clear idea of Kaze’s mindset. Since the latter had no feelings for Clarice, there was no way they could be more than friends. The only reason Edmund was doing this was to protect Clarice. Clarice, however, had a difficult time understanding where her father was coming from. She just wanted to get something off her chest. Even if the confession would not lead to anything, she had to try. Clarice did not want to give up on the relationship before it even had a chance to start. “Since nothing is going on between them, I don’t see a problem with meeting Kaze.” Regardless of what Edmund had to say, Clarice was determined to see Kaze. “All the more that you

“Tell Kaze to come out and talk to me. You’re just his assistant. You have no right to kick me out.” Relentless, Clarice could not just walk away. Clarice was not going to miss a great opportunity to meet Kaze. There was no way she could give up. “That’s not happening. Mr. Lee had a long day. Please don’t disturb him while he’s resting. “You can make an appointment to see him, or ask your father to be here.” Snow commented, having guessed who Clarice was. Feeling a rush to the head, Clarice thought she could meet Kaze and talk about the future. However, Clarice could not get past the door to Kaze. The harsh reality forced Clarice to recognize her place, and the truth was hard to swallow. “What’s the meaning of this?” Clarice asked, not ready to back down. Clarice was baffled that Snow would know who she was. The remark was uncalled for. It was true that Edmund was working for Kaze. However, he did not sell his soul to Kaze. Surely Edmund had the right to talk to

“So our only choice is to put our hope on Edmund. But the guy is heartless. He never showed up, even after confirming his attendance. He didn’t even send anyone in his stead. I guess he doesn’t want to waste time on us.” Some people lost patience. Edmund’s repeated no-shows made them lose faith. “What more can we do? We have to consider other avenues besides waiting. Who else is close to Kaze in Westeros?” Someone asked, seeking help from the crowd. Maybe someone had connections in this respect. Kieran, a member of the Barns, shook his head and sighed. Though his eyes reflected disappointment, he could not just give up. He had just the very thing. Kieran met Dwight recently and got to know him. It seemed Dwight shared a bond with Kaze. Dwight hosted Kaze when the latter first arrived in Westeros. Dwight later opened his home to Kaze, and they seemed to get along well. At first, Kieran did not think much of Dwight, since he was just an insignificant member of the Viper’s

“Well, rumors are rumors. You can’t exactly believe everything.” Reading Kieran’s intention, Dwight did not admit to the fact. Besides, with Edmund having his back, Dwight did not have to bring Kaze into the picture. Dwight was content with his life. The last thing he wanted was to get in trouble. “Really? That’s a shame. I have many associates eager to meet Kaze. If someone has a way, we are happy to offer incentives.“We were going to arrange a meeting with Edmund, but he’s been too busy. It’s hard to get hold of him. So, we figured to look for other avenues.” Kieran knew Dwight was a greedy man. He only had to offer enough for Dwight to jump on board. If Dwight were to refuse, it could only mean that Kieran was not cutting a sweet enough deal. Kieran and his friends were open to giving away shares or a lump sum to meet Dwight’s demands. He had experience in that department. “So you have talked to Mr. Witterson. In that case, you should just keep trying with him. I

“If you’re short on cash, I can give you some. Just pay me back when you are able.” Even without bringing up the previous matter, Kieran was able to center the conversation around Kaze. Kieran might sound very nice now, but he would show no mercy when it was time to collect. Once Dwight accepted the perks, Kieran would have him under his thumb. It was Kieran and his pals’ go-to method. By taking the handout, the recipient would owe them. The recipient would feel obligated to repay the favor, even against their own will.Kieran’s words took Dwight by surprise. A villa would cost a fortune. Yet Kieran was pretty generous to lend money. In the past, Kieran would sneer at Dwight because the latter was beneath him. However, Dwight saw a change in the people around him ever since Kaze came into his life. Everybody seemed kinder. “Oh, I could never. Besides, I don’t make enough money to pay you back.” Of course, Dwight was tempted. He had not been paying a lot of attent
