Chapter 19 A New Company.

After the phone call, Kelly bolted and left the presents behind.

Everyone found it strange but the celebratory mood of the party was not affected.

Even though Kaze was not the chairman, he knew the chairman, so it was possible to reach the chairman through him.

Darcy and her family were heavily surrounded by guests who were trying to win over them. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Agnes and Hector were flustered. They had been waiting for this moment for years and with it, they could finally lift their heads up as proud human beings, especially before their extended family.

Master Quint said shyly, “Darcy, since the chairman is indebted to Kaze, why don’t you tell him to ask for an investment from the chairman? I’m not asking for much, one or two hundred million is definitely more than enough.”

“Grandfather, I…” Darcy looked troubled.

“What’s wrong? You can’t do it? You are a Quint and you can’t e your family a favor?” Master Quint was displeased with her an

Kaze knew the old man was trying to trick Darcy again, so he sa Grandfather, it’s not that I don’t want to, but I exchanged the favor the birthday party and the mansion, so it’s probably gone. If I ask hi for an investment, he might see me as a greedy bastard.”

An investment was not a problem but it would only be for Darcy, not the Quint family.

The guests who overheard the conversation lost their interest immediately and simply talked among themselves.

“Hmph. You are useless. You exhaust the favor just for a birthday

party? It’s better to get an investment with it! If that’s the case, give me the mansion in Skylar View District,” Master Quint said with a sour

look.

“We’ll move in together so we can take care of Grandfather!” Samus and Deborah said greedily.

The other family members nodded as well. Everyone wished to move into Horizon Mirror Mansion.

Upon hearing Master Quint’s demand, Darcy and her parents reacted bitterly. Her grandfather was demanding too much.

Kaze looked at the old man and said, “Don’t forget that the chairman specifically gave this mansion to my wife. Who has the nerves to snatch it from her?”

“You!” Master Quint was silenced. He stomped his walking cane and turned away with a frosty expression.

Deborah, Samus, and the others followed the man.

“Grandfather, don’t worry. I have a way to make Darcy handover th mansion,” Samus whispered in Master Quint’s ear.

Master Quint paused immediately and said hurriedly, “What is it?!”

“Grandfather, I can find someone from the underworld to scare Darcy and her parents. I know Gold Tooth’s man, King Kong. I can pay him. to do the job.”

Master Quint’s eyes glimmered with hope. He had heard of the name Gold Tooth. The man was also an underworld gaffer, as powerful as

Giovani Beneli.

His front tooth was made out of gold, hence the name. His men were all criminals and gangsters.

They could easily scare Darcy and her parents by just standing in front of the mansion.

“That’s a great idea, and an effective one. Maybe we can have dinner in Horizon Mirror Mansion tomorrow night.”

On the other hand, a man among the guests captured Darcy’s attention-Ned Brooks, the chief of Lilyrose Housing Department.

Silver Wind’s old project, the Passion Fragrance District development, had been delayed indefinitely due to the company’s financial status. Now that Darcy’s company had cleared the debt, she should put the project back on track.

However, they were not able to solve the problem with pre-sale and occupancy certificates.

Without the necessary documents, even if the project was completed, they could not sell the houses and they would only rot in their hands.

The said certificates were issued by the Housing Department.

Therefore, Darcy, slightly agitated, went up to the man with her glas and said, “Chief Brooks. I would like to talk to you about the pre-sa

certificate of my company’s project.

Ned was chatting happily with his colleagues when he saw Darcy. greedy and lustful gaze flashed in his eyes.

“Ms. Quint.”

Ned gulped unconsciously and his eyes blinked. “It’s your birthday today, please don’t kill the mood by talking business. I’ll give you an address and you can come discuss it with me later tonight. We can sit down and have a proper conversation.”

Darcy was thrilled. She nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, thank you.”

Ned stared at Darcy’s voluptuous body and the lustful gaze grew

At the end of the party, all the guests retrieved their respective gifts and headed home.

Since Kaze was not the chairman, they did not want to waste money on him.

Agnes was infuriated.

“Hmph! All you know is to act cool. If you are a little more capable, the guests won’t take the gifts back!”

“Darcy, come! Let’s go home!”

Agnes dragged Darcy away.

Kaze was helpless. He did not care about his identity at all but he did not want Darcy to suffer cold shoulders because of it.

He called Ray and shared his thoughts.
