Chapter 4701 Far-Fetched

“I have no idea. Only Julian knows what’s on his mind. You should brief Ms. Nash on the situation. She’ll have her own plans.” Quill believed that they had covered all their bases, so nothing was of concern. Kaze checked out. He was just a regular employee. If there were any real issues, they were all in Julian’s head. Maybe Lyra was just imagining things. It might have been a coincidence that Kaze was present at the auction. He might have been allowed to work part-time. Quill stood by his belief that Kaze’s identity was solid, seeing that he personally vetted him. Nothing was out of place. “That’s all we can do for now, but Julian has some nerve to lie. It’s a good thing we held onto him yesterday. He can use a good beating today.” Since Julian was in quite a sorry state yesterday, Fletcher assumed that he had Julian under his thumb. Yet, Julian was up to another one of his antics. “People like him never learn. He must think that we can’t do anything to him, and that

Chapter 4702 The Hanbergs

“But is there a need for me to keep stalking Kaze?” Fletcher doubted that following Kaze would lead to anything. “Don’t leave him out of your sight. You can abort the mission if nothing turns up. Mainly, there’s not much we can do right now.” Lyra gave a look of resignation. Before, she would never have taken this approach. However, Kaze was the only suspicious character that stood out, so Lyra had to keep an eye on him to make sure everything checked out. In fact, Lyra could be certain that there were no issues with Kaze. Julian probably brought Kaze into the picture because of jealousy. Still, Lyra and her team were no closer to the truth, so they had to figure out other ways. Fletcher was taken aback. Nevertheless, it was not his place to comment. He simply excused himself. Lyra had not mentioned what to do with Julian. Fletcher did not ask either, so he just left Julian alone. While the task was time-consuming, Fletcher could care less because he could get som

Chapter 4703 Arrogance Leads to Downfall

“It’s about the Hanbergs.” Irene could not hide the smile on her face. Agnes was taken aback. “As in Julian of the Hanbergs?“What happened? What did the family get into?” Agnes was curious as to the situation with the Hanbergs. Julian was a decent guy. Sure, he was a little plump and rude, but his family was rich, and that itself was enough for Agnes to cozy up to Julian. Pride was not something that mattered a lot to Agnes as she was only after what she could get out of it. Everything else was expendable. “Weren’t the Hanbergs at the auction too? Word is that they are in a bit of financial trouble. They need a large amount of capital to keep the operations running, or the business might fall.” Irene was forthright about the situation. The news was bound to get out even if Irene kept it a secret. Surely, word would travel to Agnes. “That doesn’t make sense. Didn’t the Hanbergs flaunt their wealth? I recall that they were in the running when the bids went up to billio

Chapter 4704 Real World

Agnes assumed that since the Hanbergs were powerful, there would always be a fix to a problem. However, the public jumped at the opportunity to kick the Hanbergs while they were down, eager to tear them down. Sure enough, a marriage alliance was always fragile because no one could predict what would happen next. It was anybody’s guess whether the partnership could last. Agnes smiled and chatted with the other wealthy ladies. Despite her nerves, Agnes did not show her emotions on her face. She knew that Irene was taking a dig at her, but so what? So long as Agnes denied everything, the whole thing would be irrelevant to her. Agnes had gotten into the circle with the help of Irene, so she needed to be on Irene’s good side. Irene’s little antics would not get to Agnes. “Of course, it takes a lot of work to raise a son. My daughter is a breeze. She’s the chairwoman of Quintessential Group. I’d love to meet any potential man for my daughter if you know one.” Agnes took the o

Chapter 4705 Removal of Certain People

“I honestly feel for your daughter. You’re the mother, but instead of caring for her, you insist on putting her down and using her.” Irene had no idea whether it was her place to make the comment. Agnes might not even take her seriously, but Irene could not keep her thoughts to herself. “I know that you’re looking out for my daughter, but you don’t know her.” Agnes dismissed Irene’s remark as wrong, thinking that Darcy had been playing the victim for sympathy. Irene knew right there and then that her advice was pointless. Agnes was beyond help. “You’ve made your decision, so I’ll let it at that. Your family’s affairs are none of my business anyway. “But from what I know, gender doesn’t matter when it comes to business. It’s all about competence. “I think you should reconsider. Stop favoring your son over your daughter,” Irene said from a place of kindness. It was a shame because Darcy put in a lot of effort in building a relationship with her mother, but the latter never

Chapter 4706 Tip of the Iceberg

After much thought, Agnes decided to pay Darcy’s office a visit to see if there were any opportunities. Since Kaze was a nuisance to the company, Agnes had to get rid of him. She must be careful not to come on too strong, though. In normal circumstances, Agnes was the type to make sure Kaze was gone once and for all. Agnes had not shown her face around the branch office since upsetting her daughter. This time, she felt anxious, worried that she would not be welcomed. Nevertheless, Agnes understood that she had made her bed. “Hello there, Mrs. Quint.” The receptionists approached Agnes enthusiastically. It had been a while since Agnes last came by. Picking up on the noise outside, Luca emerged in a fluster. She was taken aback to see Agnes. Darcy had been in a foul mood lately, and Luca had a feeling that Agnes was the cause. Still, it was not Luca’s place to ask questions. In fact, Darcy’s sulkiness often had to do with Agnes. Even when Darcy put in all the work

Chapter 4707 Works Like a Charm

“That’s a good suggestion. While the approach won’t cost the company much, it was a huge risk for you to take.” Darcy shook her head, dismissing the idea. She did not doubt her staff’s abilities, but there had to be a better solution that did not involve a lot of manual labor. Jordy was displeased. He made a compromise, only to be shot down by Darcy. He simply nodded politely, willing to hear Darcy out. “I’m going away on a business trip to meet some of my former business partners. If I can convince them, we might find the answer to our problems.” Sensing the employees’ anxiety, Darcy assured them. If they were willing to wait, Darcy could have their backs and take care of their jobs. Jordy was a little upset at first, but Darcy just said the magic words. “Do you need help, Ms. Quint? We can go with you and help with networking,” Bert said eagerly, trying his luck to get on the business trip. “It’s okay. They are my friends. I’m pretty friendly with them. I can hand

Chapter 4708 Turn Against Him

“That’s unfair, Bert. I run the projects that you turn down. It all came down to my ability to close deals with these clients and secure more work for my team.“Ms. Quint isn’t playing favorites when distributing the projects. It’s just about who can get the job done.” Kaze was not going to let Bert get away with slander. Instead of using his energy to argue, he simply told the managers that their lack of competence was to blame. Bert grimaced hard after Kaze challenged him. Even though Kaze excelled at his work, Bert doubted a newly hired manager could land even the most difficult deals. Darcy was probably helping Kaze in secret, or something else was going on. In short, the managers were skeptical of Kaze’s capabilities. There was no way Kaze was capable. “I’m not buying it. We don’t believe that it’s fair. Why aren’t the rest of us getting anything while you have more than you can handle?“We won’t be convinced until you give us a straight answer. What say you, Jordy?

Chapter 4709 Show Some Concern

The person seemed to have a problem with Kaze, even getting aggressive with him. The details did not go unnoticed, and Agnes saw it as a good thing. That was what Agnes was after. Her wish was for others to turn against Kaze, allowing her to benefit from the conflict while getting the opportunity to take a swipe at him. “What are you doing here? Do you need anything?” Darcy was not happy to see her mother. She assumed that Agnes would get tired of waiting and just leave. However, there she was. The point was, Agnes was not the least bit apologetic when she saw Darcy. All Agnes did was stare at Kaze in the crowd. Darcy went up to Agnes, worried that she might harm Kaze. Darcy had always known that Agnes was driven by greed. However, she never thought that Agnes would sell her daughter out completely. “Why else do you think I’m here for? Of course, I came to see you.” Agnes glanced at the crowd before striding into the office. She did not even say hello to the rest. Ber

Chapter 4710 Plain to See

“I’m sorry. I had no idea. I wouldn’t have put you through that if I were aware of how the Hanbergs operated,” Agnes uttered in regret, hoping to patch things up with Darcy. “I don’t believe you. I find you fake.” Darcy did not have any faith in her mother. Agnes was likely at the office to ask for something. No one knew Agnes like Darcy did, and it was heartbreaking for Darcy to go through what she did. “How could you say that? How could you hurt my feelings?” Agnes felt upset. “I’ll do my best to give you what you want, but don’t talk to me about family.” Darcy had lost all her trust in Agnes. It was best not to waste more of her time on the matter. “All I want is for you to have a proper talk with me.” Agnes tried to persuade her daughter instead of fighting over little things. Hopefully, Darcy would see things her way. “I’m swamped with work. I don’t have time for a talk. I’m going away on business tomorrow.” Darcy was done with the conversation. She had nothi
