Semua Bab Guardian-In-Law: Bab 4501 - Bab 4510

“I just can’t believe this is happening to us. “We’ve been lying low for too long. You took the risk by sneaking into Edmund’s estate to plant the bugs, but nothing concrete came back.” Fletcher was worried that they would not achieve anything even if they continued to wait. If that were the case, their circumstances would only be dire. “I know this is a matter of urgency, but you are aware why the last people failed in their attempt. They were too desperate to play the waiting game. “We’re against a highly intelligent and rational person. This individual is skilled at operating in the shadows. “If we jump into the situation, we will be exposing ourselves and losing our edge.” Quill played it smart by assuring Fletcher. Besides, they knew each other like the back of their hands since they were twins who grew up together. They had a good read of the situation and knew better than to jump to conclusions. “But we can’t just bide our time. I’m getting anxious because I d

“I see. I’m sure I can learn a thing or two from him,” Russell uttered. Russell’s response wiped out any suspicion Darcy had. Kaze quickly returned to the office with a document in hand. He could feel all eyes on him. While baffled, Kaze thought nothing of the situation. He had a hunch about the circumstances. “What’s going on?” Kaze murmured, pretending to know nothing. Darcy went up to give him the lowdown. “Mr. Hark understands that you have a project with Mr. Witterson. He’s interested in how you gained Mr. Witterson’s trust.” Darcy then turned to Russell. “Yes. I’m keen to know more. I wonder if you are available to answer my questions.” Russell smiled tenderly. He observed Kaze, knowing that he was the guy on the surveillance footage. Kaze was rather attractive, so it was hard to look away from him. However, he did not have a strong presence. He could be dismissed as someone ordinary. There was a certain vibe to someone who had undergone combat tr

“You can be straight with me, Mr. Hark. I don’t know what you’re after, so I might not be of assistance. I just don’t want to beat around the bush.” The whole thing unnerved Darcy. However, Russell was on her turf, so she trusted that he would not take things far. Darcy got her act together, curious about Russell’s motive. It would be best if Russell could be clear. Yet, Russell refused to do so for some baffling reason. “Oh, I’m not asking for a lot. You’ll be able to handle the task. “All you need to do is keep your ears out, and I’ll pour investment into your company.” Knowing Darcy’s weakness, Russell knew how to get her in check. Once her vulnerability was clear, Russell could get things going. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about, Mr. Hark,” Darcy said deliberately in hopes Russell would come forward with the truth. Russell was supposed to be a lowly manager who was not quite in higher management. Surely, he would keep his hands to himself, and the part

“It doesn’t make sense. What did Mr. Hark say? Why is he causing you distress?” Luca could not wrap her head around the whole thing. “Maybe I should get Mr. Lee here to talk to you.” Luca believed that Darcy should not shoulder the stress by herself. Since Kaze knew Edmund, it was better for him to lead the business talk. It would be ideal if the investment came from Edmund. The branch office had existing business ties with Edmund, and he had been nothing but kind. Surely, it would be easier to secure another partnership with him. That was why Kaze should be part of the discussion. As Darcy entered her office looking drained, Luca turned around to look for Kaze right away. Kaze saw Russell leaving the building alone. Russell had the nerve to stir trouble right under Kaze’s nose. Nevertheless, Kaze was able to get away with it while staying under the radar. However, his disguise would not hold up for long. “Since those people are getting desperate, they are bou

“You’re just sulking over the earlier incident. So he grabbed you. He didn’t mean any harm. What happened between you? Did you upset him?” Darcy asked persistently, still thinking there was more to the incident. Her worst nightmare was that Kaze got the nerves of the big client behind her back. “I’m not familiar with Russell, but I can tell that he isn’t a suitable business partner,” Kaze said to defend himself. The truth often sounded harsh. Hopefully, Darcy would understand where he was coming from. “Since you don’t know him, how can you be so quick to make a judgment? He’s a huge client. Either way, you should practice patience. “He hasn’t done anything out of line. It’s not your place to tell me to keep my distance from him,” Darcy criticized. Kaze was insensible. Russell was nothing more than a potential business partner to her. However, Kaze restricted her from seeing him. Heck, he told her to stay away from Russell. Though Russell’s behavior was a little absurd,
