Chapter 61 Mother-In-Law’s Misunderstanding

They never thought that things would take an unexpected tu

“It’s over! It’s over! Once that woman gets to my men, when she

takes control of Quintessential, our family will be pressured! We soon won’t be able to make a stand in the family!”

Samus’ words devastated the whole family.

To him, Darcy was just working for the family, the best employee in the company.

She did all the heavy lifting but reaped no rewards or benefits. She

would even have to take the blame at times.

They could never accept Darcy above them once the tables had

turned.

Rudy had a more elaborate thought.

After all the shady things they had done, once Darcy took full control

of the company, she might call the police on them.

He looked at Deborah in fear and said, “Deb, I think you should call Vincent now. Only he can help us now!”

He would rather the Hanser family take over Passion Fragrance Project than Darcy.

Deborah called Vincent immediately

After the brief call, Deborah said, “Dad, Vincent just asked his

grandfather. He said if we could locate Jean Lander, then they could

pin Darcy down and kick her out of the company.”

“Jean Lander? What does that woman have to do with all this?”

Rudy was baffled. Jean used to be his secretary in Quintessential Group but she had gone missing.

It was her missing that almost caused Quintessential Group to lose the pre-sale certificate.

“I don’t know but Vincent wants us to locate her. They will also help.”

Rudy clenched his teeth and nodded.

“Fine. We must locate Jean by all means!”

Back at Horizon Mirror, Kaze came home with Darcy once she

finished work.

When they entered the house, the atmosphere felt tense.

Hector and Agnes were in the living room with an expressionless look on their faces.

Kaze did not know what happened. He went over and asked, “Mom, have you finalized the details with the hotel for the housewarming party tomorrow?”

“How dare you ask me about the hotel?”

Agnes bolted up and slapped him.

The sudden slap left a red handprint on Kaze’s face.

He did not dodge.

Agnes was not only Darcy’s mother, she was also his mother-in-law. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

From the day he moved back to Lilyrose, he swore to take care of Agnes and Hector and would never disrespect them no matter what they did to him.

“Mom, why did you slap Kaze?! What happened?”

Darcy was stunned for a moment before reacting to what happened. She came over immediately and questioned her mother.

“He knows exactly what happened. Ask him why he lied to m

Agnes was infuriated.

“Kaze, what did you do?”

Darcy felt terrible as she stared at the red handprint on Kaze’s face.

Kaze must have angered her mother terribly, otherwise, she would not have slapped him so hard.

They were still on good terms when they left for the hotel earlier in the day.

Kaze calmly said, “Mom, I don’t understand what is going on.”

“Still trying to play pretend aren’t you?”

Agnes

es shouted, “You lied to me and Darcy, saying that you know the owner of Lily Garden Hotel and you already booked Ocean Hall! But, it turned out that the Mr. Lee who booked Ocean Hall wasn’t you!”

She was fuming like a volcano erupting.

She was thrown on the street before a crowd and called a thief. She even embarrassed herself in front of her former colleague, Hellen.

She was devastated and had the urge to jump in front of a car.

Fortunately, Ren appeared and helped her.

“Mom, who told you that the Mr. Lee wasn’t me? I thought Manager Brent came to assist us with the booking.”

Kaze frowned. He had no idea what happened.

“Stop lying! Manager Brent said it was a mistake!”

Since Kaze remained unrepentant, Agnes pointed at the door and shouted, “Get out of my house now! You are not my son-in-law! I will tell Darcy to divorce you!”

Kaze’s expression changed. He could take all the blame in

but not the divorce.

Darcy’s expression changed as well. “Mom, how can you ask him to leave? This house is under his name! And I will never divorce him!”

“Horizon Mirror is given to him by Ray Forrester, he spent no effort to

obtain the house!”

Agnes was blinded by rage and refused to acknowledge Kaze’s effort.

“He’s not only useless, he’s also a liar! He always bragged about knowing influential and powerful people! I can’t let my daughter be with a liar! He will put you in harm’s way sooner or later!”
