Chapter 4501 Another Invitation

“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

Chapter 4502 More Than Just Business

“At least we’re doing something.” Quill, with a clear grasp of what was going on, had a plan in mind. Russell straightened out his clothes, grabbed his briefcase, and headed out the door. Fletcher, under a different guise, left the hotel too. They had their separate duties. Though they were often out, they would not be seen together. Most of the time, they worked in tandem, one operating in the open while the other remained in the shadows. So far, the arrangement had worked for them. Darcy was excited over the news, knowing that the opportunity would add to her advantage. Luca emerged and caught Darcy smiling. Darcy had faced multiple adversaries recently, and her spirits had been down. There must be some work progress for Darcy to cheer up. Luca placed the document on the table and asked, “Did something good happen, Ms. Quint? You seem happy.” “Mr. Hark is coming. I was worried about losing this client, but all hope is not lost. “I must secure this client. Whe

Chapter 4503 Tension in the Air

“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

Chapter 4504 Ideal Candidate

Luca was helpless in the situation. However, her best bet was to persuade Kaze to let things go. “Don’t take the matter to heart, Mr. Lee. No one expects to encounter this sort of client.“But he’s strange. He didn’t express any interest in working together before, and then, he shows up out of the blue,” Luca whined. “Since he’s not into a partnership, why is he here?” Kaze listened quietly. “I don’t know anything about the situation, but Ms. Quint cares a lot about the business venture. She even called Mr. Hark to invite him over.” Something did not sit right with Luca. Though Darcy was eager to secure a collaboration, she had never been so desperate before. It would be beneficial to the company to secure the deal. That was probably Darcy’s priority. “Ms. Quint is working hard. If there was no intention to proceed with the project, she shouldn’t put all her eggs in the basket. She even invited the client over,” Kaze uttered, expressing his resentment. Luca made a

Chapter 4505 Rational

“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

Chapter 4506 Burden

While tempted, Darcy could not meet Russell’s request. She had no idea that Edmund served another. It remained uncertain as to what secrets may lie within. “Ms. Quint, you don’t have to understand. All you need to do is gather information. If you can do that, I’ll wire the funds right now. “I know that you’re urgently seeking an investor to pour money into the project. I’m happy to provide the funding without getting too involved in the project. “You are free to run the project as you wish.” Russell upped the ante, hoping Darcy would accept the deal without pushing her luck. It was clear to Russell that Darcy was playing dumb to demand more resources. Well, Russell would not yield to her as this was all he could offer. “Mr. Hark, it’s a very tempting offer you have put out, and we are in need of an investor. This project has a lot of potential,” Darcy uttered. The project, once launched, would take the branch office to the next level. Darcy needed the project to t

Chapter 4507 The Shadow Leader

“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

Chapter 4508 Stay Away From Danger

Edmund would not reveal his plans to a measly manager. It made sense that Kaze had no idea. “I only asked because I was curious. “I thought you’d have known something since you often interacted with Edmund. You simply didn’t pay attention to the matter,” Darcy said in disappointment as if Kaze should have stayed up-to-date about the situation. “I have been in touch with Mr. Witterson, but our interaction is limited to business talks in his office.” Kaze pulled an innocent look. It was no surprise that he was not aware of the circumstances. “That sounds about right. You and Mr. Witterson are only business partners. It’s understandable that you didn’t know.” Darcy murmured to herself, not expecting an answer. Still, she could not let things go. “Ms. Quint, why did you ask?” Kaze inquired as if driven by curiosity. “I learned from Mr. Hark, and he was keen to find out. He asked me to look into the matter for him,” Darcy admitted openly. The whole thing struck Darcy a

Chapter 4509 Who Could It Be

“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,

Chapter 4510 Vulnerable to Exploitation

At first, Darcy believed her conscience was clear. She had no qualms about betraying Edmund. Hesitation started to sink in now. She could not commit to such a disloyal act. “But it’s too hard for me to pass up on Russell’s offer. With the funding, I can proceed with the project.“Plus, it’s no strings attached. He won’t interfere with the project’s development.” It was rare for Darcy to come across such a huge client. It was a shame that Russell was off-limits. She had boundaries. Despite her reluctance, Darcy knew better than to upset Edmund to survive and gain footing in the city. Her curiosity piqued when it came to the individual behind Edmund. Who was this person? Somehow, the individual secretly helped her multiple times. Since Edmund had not known her before, he would not have lent a hand. When Darcy’s branch office nearly went bust, Edmund stepped in to offer a partnership, giving Darcy a chance to meet the elder’s request. As frustration grew, Darcy
