Guardian-In-Law

“Kaze, you've recovered?!”
Seeing the clarity in Kaze’s eyes, Darcy covered her mouth in disbelief, thrilled to
see her husband looking lively.
“Yes, Darcy, I have recovered.”
Kaze looked at Darcy as his eyes teared up despite having gone through
countless brutal fights on the battlefield himself.
Darcy broke down in tears instantly. She was thrilled to see Kaze healthy.
Kaze pulled her into his arms. He felt sorry for putting her through so much
suffering all these years.
“Hmph. So what if you've recovered? You are still a piece of trash,” Deborah said
with a scoff.
She sat down, pointed at the folded table in the corner, and said loudly, “Get over
there and sit down. Contributing ten billion? What a joke!”
Kaze frowned. He wanted to argue but Darcy stopped him and dragged him over
to the corner.
The four of them sat at the folded table.
The others were having a feast whereas Darcy and her family were served four
cups of ramen.
Master Quint at the center seat looked at the ebullient atmosphere and his heart
filled with grandeur.
“Quiet everyone, I have an announcement to make.”
Everyone put down their cutleries and listened.
Master Quint nodded in satisfaction and said, “I believe everyone has received
news of Sky High Investment Group making a high-profile entrance to Lilyrose
City.
“The Sky High Investment Group is a world-class company, a titan in the industry.
Their coming to our city will be a great chance for the power hierarchy to
reshuffle, and it will be an opportunity for our family.
“Our family might be second-tier, living a decent life, but other families can easily
overtake us in power. That's why we must seize this chance to get an investment
from Sky High Investment Group. Even if it’s just a little, it will be enough for us to
live a carefree life and rise to the next level of power.”
Master Quint got excited as he explained. His face flushed as he continued, “I
hereby announce that whoever of us obtain an investment from Sky High
Investment Group will be entitled to ten percent of the company shares, and...
the position of general manager!”
The shocking news left everyone in shock and awe.
“Ten percent of the company shares is a huge sum of money! We can use it on
anything we like!”
“The most important thing is the position of general manager! That's the second
highest position in the company!”
“But it's a difficult task. I heard many families in the city are lining up to meet the
representatives from Sky High Investment Group.”
While everyone was in a heated discussion, Deborah got on her feet.
“Grandfather, don’t worry. I'll definitely get the investment! I have already asked
Vincent to submit a proposal to them. I believe we will get a reply from Sky High
soon.”
Her words shocked everyone. They were jealous of Deborah's influential support.
Vincent Hanser was her boyfriend, the eldest son of a first-tier family in Lilyrose.
With Vincent's help, it was almost certain that she would get the investment from
Sky High Investment Group.
“Good! Good! You are indeed the best among my grandchildren, Deborah! Your
birthday is in three days and I'll make sure you get the grandest birthday party!”
Master Quint was thrilled. “Deborah, if you secure the investment, you will be the
next in line to inherit the family business!”
As soon as Master Quint made the announcement, Darcy and her family were
shocked.
As part of the extended family, everyone was extremely sensitive toward the
position of the heir, especially Darcy’s father who was the second son.
Deborah's father was the eldest son, and her family never treated Darcy and her
family well. If Master Quint passed and Deborah was chosen as the heir, then
Darcy and her family would suffer.
Looking at the pale looks on his in-laws’ faces, Kaze said, “Grandfather, does it
mean that if Darcy gets the investment, she will also be made a candidate for
succession?”
His question silenced everyone.
Pt!
Samus scoffed when he heard the question. “Kaze, are you still a retard or what?
Darcy getting the investment? With what? With you and your retarded brain? Eat
your ramen and shut up! I bet after this meal, you and your family will starve
again.”
Deborah lifted her head and looked at Kaze in disdain. “Retard, you might not
know since you've just recovered but Darcy and her parents are deep in debt.
They are selling whatever they can and borrowing money everywhere. I wonder if
Darcy has to sell herself to put food on the table.
“Oh, I remember it’s Darcy's birthday as well in three days. We share the same
birthday anyway, but we definitely don’t share the same financial status. She’s
living in poverty. Why doesn’t she pick up the cake that she made and keep it for
three days later?”
Everyone laughed. They all looked at Kaze and Darcy scornfully.

Deborah stopped her immediately and cried, “Darcy, one more word from that

The atmosphere got tense as a catfight almost broke out between the two ladies.

Darcy's parents, Agnes and Hector Quint, were delighted by Master Quint's
promise.
Ever since Kaze left on Darcy’s wedding night, the family’s annual bonus had
been confiscated by Master Quint, and a few million in total at that.
If they could get the bonuses, then their lives would change for the better.
However, before they could fully embrace that idea, Master Quint added, “But
Darcy must also recover the debt from Pietro Beneli!”
Agnes and Hector were stunned, while the rest were surprised.
Pietro Beneli was a well-known gangster in Lilyrose City.
Other family members tried to recover the debt from him before and they were
almost beaten to death.
Master Quint’s request was obviously trying to put Darcy in a difficult situation.
In a panic, Agnes exclaimed, “No, Father! It's too risky! What if something
happens to Darcy? What if they harm her?”

Upon hearing Deborah, Darcy and her family turned deathly pale.
Darcy was in a dilemma.
Then, Kaze held her hand and whispered, “Darcy, take the offer.”
What?! Darcy thought she heard him wrong.
She frowned and whispered back, “Kaze, what are you talking about? That's
Pietro Beneli, it's not possible to try to recover the debt!”
Kaze confidently said, “Darcy, trust me. Take the offer and I'll help you recover
the debt.”
