Guardian-In-Law by Five Generals

Chapter 449 Flip-Flopping
“Let’s head back to Lilyrose now, Miru,” with her eyes welled up, Darcy said eagerly.
Since Leo was the mole, it was clear that Kaze was framed.
Darcy beat herself up.
Nobody, including her of all people, believed Kaze at the Lily Garden
Hotel.
Driven by rage, she even slapped Kaze.
Darcy wished she could teleport to Lilyrose and bail Kaze out now. She was desperate to apologize to Kaze.
“Come on.”
Miru nodded and walked off with Darcy.
“Hang on, Ms. Quint. I have not received the final payment.”
Shane’s friendly voice came from behind.
If it were not for the remaining 50 million dollars, Shane would n so patient to waste his breath with these two women.
Despite her distraught, Darcy stopped and called Riley to wire the
money.
The remaining 50 million dollars was converted into Bitcoins before reaching Shane’s account.
Darcy said,
“You got the money, Mr. Blanc. We should leave now.”
“You mean business, Ms. Quint.”

Shane gave the thumbs up and said gleefully, “But you can’t leave just yet, Ms. Quint. I’m afraid you’ll need to stay with me for a
couple more days.”
Darcy scowled.
“What do you mean, Shane?”
Miru furrowed her brows and said curtly, “You provided us with
intelligence, and we paid the money.
“What else do you want from us?”
She pulled out her phone to call for help.
“Are yo
you giving the four men who followed you to Melrose a call? I’d advise you to save your breath.”
Shane added with a smile, “Leo took them back to Lilyrose before you came. They will testify that you are the mole of Lefteria
Group.”
Color drained from Miru’s face.
“Leo was here?”
Skeptical, Miru dialed her four subordinates’ numbers. All she a chilling busy tone.
Miru’s heart sank to the pit of her stomach.

“Clap, clap.”
At the clap of Shane’s hands, the security team he hired appeared at the door and stared down at Miru and Darcy.
“Ms. Scarlet, Ms. Quint, please stay at my humble abode for the next two days. Don’t worry. I will be a gracious host if you
cooperate.”
Shane was courteous, but he would not take no for an answer either.

Darcy leaned toward Miru in fear.
She had not interacted with those in the underworld, so she leaned on Miru for support.
Keeping her cool, Miru grabbed her best friend’s arm and stared at Shane. She asked curtly, “How much did Leo give you,
Shane?”
“A billion dollars.”
Shane did not hide that fact.
Miru negotiated. “Let me go now. You’ll get 2 billion dollars once I deal with Leo and take over Lefteria Group.”
While Shane revealed greed in his eyes, he shook his head.
“Leo gave me cold, hard cash, but you’re only giving me a promise. If you were me, who would you choose?”
Was Leo that wealthy?

Though frustrated, Miru was not willing to give up yet. “Be smart, Shane. Don’t be fooled by a bit of money.
“We paid you first. Underground businesses should be condu with integrity. You’re only giving yourself a bad name.”
Shane took their money and sold them intel.
However, Shane turned around and sold them out because Leo paid higher price.
If word got out, Shane’s reputation would be ruined.
No one in the underworld would want to work with him.
Shane burst out laughing. “That’s where you’re wrong, Ms. Scarlet. I received payment from Ms. Quint. You have nothing to do
with the transaction whatsoever.

“I’m keeping you here, and Ms. Quint just so happens to be here. For her safety, she has to stay with you too.”
Miru was livid by Shane’s audacity.
Since they were outnumbered by the security team, Miru knew they had to cooperate before anything bad happened.
“Come on, Darcy.”
She dragged Darcy out.
Shane’s men escorted them to the accommodation building.
“Boss said that you are to hand over your phones, Ms. Quint and Ms. Scarlet.”
One of Shane’s men said when walking to their room.
Miru and Darcy turned in their phones.
They were now disconnected from the outside world.
“I’m sorry, Darcy. I dragged you into this. It’s Leo’s fault. If he hadn’t framed Kaze for killing my godfather, you would have never
atten involved,” Miru said apologetically to Darcy.

They were back in the same room.
“Never mind that.”
Darcy knew now was not the time to dwell on faults.
Although she was afraid, she was a tough businesswoman. She would not freak out over every single issue.
Darcy asked, “How do you plan on solving this, Miru?”
