Guardian-In-Law

Chapter 1219 Accept With an Open Heart

"We'll see if Lilyrose Commerce Guild would hang me up the pole too."

Hostility was written all over Kailan's face.

Gerard was Kailan's long-time confidante. For Gerard to be reduced to his boxers and left hanging on the pole was a slap in Kailan's face.

Besides, Gerard had been doing the run-around for him since their arrival in the city.

Others would perceive Kailan as a pushover if he did not straighten Lilyrose Commerce Guild out today. "Smack!"

Stunned, the secretary was hit in the face.

Kailan shouted with a grimace, "Don't just stand there. Do it now!"

"Yes, sir."

Terrified, the secretary held her cheek and walked out of the office to summon help through calls.

She ran into Kaze and Hart on her way back to Kailan's office.

"You have the nerve to come here, old fart," the secretary shrieked, her eyes filled with malice.

The secretary dared not voice her grievance after Kailan hit her, so she took her fury out on Hart.

From her perspective, Hart started it.

Hart glanced at Kaze and held back his rage before saying, "I'm here to talk to Mr. Skyfort, Ms. Sycamore."

"Get lost. He's busy."

Phoebe Sycamore stopped the pair and hissed through clenched teeth, "Mr. Skyfort will be taking his men to raid Lilyrose Commerce Guild. Everybody there, including Darcy, isn't going anywhere.

"You are the cause of this, Lyfe. You, your wife, and your daughter are goners- "Smack!"

Before Phoebe could finish, Kaze raised his hand and hit her.

"How dare you hit me, bastard!"

Phoebe held her face and eyed Kaze in fury, mistaking him to be Hart's subordinate.

"Get out of the way."

Kaze yanked the woman away and headed into Kailan's office while saying, "Do you know why I prefer violence, Hart?Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Because that's the only way idiots would communicate with you."

A gentleman like Hart had a little issue with Kaze resorting to hitting and slapping upon any disagreement. "Well played, Mr. Lee."

Hart was a good man, but he was no fool. He nodded with a smile.

"How dare you assault my secretary! Who do you think you are?"

The pair were greeted by Kailan's angry face when they entered the office.

His gaze fell on Kaze, and Kailan grilled curtly. "Who are you?"

Unlike his bimbo secretary, Kailan could read the room.

With Kaze walking in the front, and Hart sticking behind him, it was clear Kaze was the leader.

"The husband of Lilyrose Commerce Guild's president, Kaze Lee."

Kaze did a brief self-introduction before sinking his back into the couch across from Kailan. He said indifferently," Why aren't you serving your visitors? This is not good hospitality."

"I doubt you can handle my hospitality."

Kailan's eyes fixated on Kaze. "You must be the chairman of Shangrila Group. So you stripped Gerard and the others before hanging them up the pole."

He narrowed his eyes dangerously at Kaze, his expression menacing.

Kaze delivered himself right to him before Kailan raided Lilyrose Commerce Guild with his men.

That was Kailan's cue not to take Kaze lightly.

By the looks of things, Kaze seemed quite sure of himself.

Kaze grinned. "As the new president of Lilyrose Commerce Guild, my wife has some work to do to earn trust and convince the members and the public. The men you sent are perfect for her to establish her authority.

"By all means, we'd accept the gesture with an open heart."
