Semua Bab Guardian-In-Law: Bab 4541 - Bab 4550

Agnes had always been selfish. She cared about her personal gains and disregarded her daughter’s feelings. Darcy refused to compromise, which was why she worked hard to climb higher to the peak. With power, her mother would not be able to control her. Yet after all that Darcy had worked, Agnes was still trying to manipulate Darcy’s life, which irritated Darcy. “Why are you so foolish? This is a good chance, and you should attend. Even if it’s not business, you can talk about something else,” Agnes grumbled, looking at her daughter with a frown. Agnes felt like she was losing control over Darcy. She felt irritated at times, but she did not want to give up her control over her daughter. “Only those with status and a strong background can attend the private auction. You can meet them and expand your connections even if it’s not business-related. If they are interested in you, develop a relationship and get married. “If you don’t want any of them, why not consider the chief o

“I heard the invitation to the auction is extremely expensive and only the rich and powerful can get it.” “Mrs. Quint is asking for too much. Why would she want to go there?” The employees voiced their support for Darcy and openly detested Agnes' request. Darcy worked hard every day for the company, but her mother stormed into the office and made an over-demanding request. Only the employees knew how ridiculous it was and how ungrateful Agnes was. “It’s better to keep this within ourselves.” The employees sighed, baffled by the problems of a rich family. Kaze heard the commotion and the little gossip. He did not want to meet Agnes, so he locked himself in his office. Now that Agnes had left, he came out to see what he could do. He overheard his team talking about Agnes. He wanted to stop them but did not know what else to say. Kaze was not related to Darcy anymore, and poking his nose into this matter would only expose his past. “Cut it, guys. It’s not good to tal

“As a manager, I have the right to understand my team’s situation and how to communicate with them. “Can I suggest that you call all the managers for a meeting? Since the company is in trouble, everyone should do their part,” Kaze said. Since Darcy was having a work-related problem, why not assign some tasks to her employees to make things work? Darcy was too competitive. She wanted to do everything herself, which took a toll on her body. If she learned to delegate tasks to the right people and trained them effectively, both she and the company would operate more efficiently. “You know that all of them have their own thoughts. We might be in the same company, but we are not in the same boat,” Darcy said, expressing helplessness.After Darcy took over the company, most of the executives who remained were loyal servants of the headquarters. Darcy could order them around, but then they would be exposed to more company secrets. The headquarters would also learn more about th

“It’s fine. Keep them.” Kaze did not want any of the gifts. He looked at the list of names and put it down. “All these people come to you for the invitation? Are there any of your friends or business partners on it?” he asked as he sipped his cup of tea. Edmund was rather slow in this. He did not know why Kaze was here or what he was trying to do. It felt like a casual conversation, but there should be hints in between the lines. He pondered carefully, wondering if he had missed anything. Then, he connected the dots to what Kaze had said to him. Edmund then thought of Darcy. Since Darcy had not contacted him and he assumed she did not need the invitation, he did not reach out to her. On second thought, since Darcy wanted to expand her business, making connections with other businesspeople was crucial, so the auction would be a good platform for her. Kaze did not name it out loud, but he hinted at it. Edmund assumed that Kaze did not want Darcy to know about this. Edmund

“He’s a little heavy, I see… But it’s not a big problem, as long as he’s capable. Looks are secondary.” Ruth thought Agnes would reject her but she was surprised. She could not believe her ears. Agnes was probably the worst mother that ever existed. How could she ruin her daughter’s life like that? Margot shook her head in disagreement but did not want to poke her nose into the matter. She was an outsider, and it was not something she should care about. She simply turned a deaf ear. “Alright. I’ll send you his contact and you can make your own arrangements,” Ruth said. Ruth was worried if Agnes was being serious, so she added, “Are you sure your daughter is okay? His family is decent but he’s not that good-looking.” Agnes shook her head. “It’s totally fine. My daughter is not young anymore. I believe they are suitable for each other.” Agnes had praised Darcy just moments ago, and now she was declaring her daughter a match for the short, fat Julian. She just wanted the H
