Semua Bab Guardian-In-Law: Bab 4251 - Bab 4260

Micah flipped through the document, and his astonishment grew with each page. Finally, he gave an approving nod. “This proposal has potential. I can see the effort put behind it, and I’m impressed. “I just don’t get why you insist on working with us when you can handle this on your own,” Micah uttered. In a way, Micah was putting Darcy in the spot. Darcy smiled before looking up at Micah with a stern look. “Mr. Hendrikson, don’t you have confidence in your company? Do you think I should go to a better business partner instead of you?” Darcy’s question was nerve-racking. “That’s not what I’m trying to say. I’m eager to see your commitment. Are you going to change your mind once you find someone better to work with?” Micah snapped back, not pleased with Darcy’s manipulation. “What about you? Are you going to turn your back on our collaboration once you find someone better? “I believe as people working in business, we care most about profit. We can collaborate and find su

“Rest assured, Darcy. This matter is far from over. He will pay the price for sure.” The guilt ate her up and nearly swallowed Clarice. She had to say something to put Darcy at ease. “Eobard is the local business mogul with many assets to his name. Most of his real estate is valuable, which includes ownership of multiple malls and office buildings. “He is offering a plot of land in the west side as compensation, and it’s valued at more than a billion dollars now. With the right planning, the value will only go up from there. It all comes down to development. “You’re looking at a piece of land that is sure to appreciate even if the owner chooses not to develop it,” Edmund said grimly before putting the deed on the table. “We know that this can’t remove the pain the incident has caused you, but I hope you can accept the gesture. With this land, you can pursue potential business partners.” Edmund presented the deed to Darcy in hopes she would make the right decision. It was be

Though Clarice had a hard time saying goodbye to the city, she had to take time away to find her feet and stop herself from jumping down the rabbit hole. In short, she had to face the facts. “Why are you going away so suddenly? You’re leaving before I have time to spend with you.” Darcy could not see her go. She even felt a pang of regret, wishing she had not acted that way had she known the full extent of the situation.“Don’t do this. You can always visit me. “I’ll always come back too.”Clarice could tell that Darcy cared a lot about her. She was glad to be valued as a friend. “That’s great. I’ll come to you during my time off work. You can come back during your breaks too.“You’re only a plane ride away. Don’t worry too much about it,” Darcy said earnestly, regret lingering within her. She and Clarice just became good friends. Yet, Clarice was leaving soon. Clarice came across as pretty naïve, but her heart was in the right place. Darcy felt comfortable around

Darcy stayed silent, preferring not to talk about the matter. Instead, she turned on the music. While listening to the music, the pair arrived at the airport. “We’re here. I’ll get a parking and go inside with you.” Since it was still early, Darcy could still stick around and see Clarice off at the gate. “I hope I’m not taking up too much of your time. If you need to get to work, don’t let me keep you.” Of course, Clarice did not want to separate from Darcy so soon. However, Darcy had her own life to live. “Well, the operations can still run without me. It doesn’t matter whether I show up. They will call me if they need me,” Darcy remarked. “Besides, you’re the boss today. I can only rest until I get you on the plane safely.” Darcy looked at Clarice in gratitude. If Clarice had not been at the office today, Darcy might not have gotten her hands on the deed so easily. Now that Darcy had dropped Clarice off at the airport, the least she could do was stay with her for

“Getting pregnant at an old age? If anything goes wrong, that’s two lives gone. It’s better not to take it seriously,” Alvis said maliciously. Alvis’ friend chuckled in glee. He was not happy for Alvis. One thing was for sure, though. Alvis was as arrogant and wicked as before. Alvis was never too concerned about losing his power in the family. He was unaware of the danger lurking. Alvis was something else. Even though Eobard’s legal wife was expecting, Alvis remained composed and even said the vilest thing. The friend had to admit that he was pretty impressed. Either Alvis had something in mind, or he had other ways to make his father give up on the legal wife’s child. “Cut to the chase. I want those girls’ locations.” Alvis did not have time to waste with his friend. “You’re lucky. Clarice and Darcy are together at the moment. They are on their way to the airport.“Clarice is pursuing her studies abroad. The flight is booked, and her friend is there to drop her
