Guardian-In-Law

Chapter 1126 Coffee? “No thanks. It's solved.” Darcy rejected Tao immediately.

She did not want anything to do with the man, let alone owe him a debt of gratitude.

However, now that Tao mentioned it, she was more or less worried about Kaze.

Kaze said he wanted to reason with Leigh about her car being thrashed and he had not come back for a while.

Could something have gone wrong? “It's solved?” Tao chuckled and added, “I don't think so. You guys called the police to arrest Leigh Glitter. Although he was released soon after, he and his family won't just let his slip. I heard that Leigh Glitter is an infamous bully back at Sunrise City. He will come for you and your family.” Tao emphasized the severity of the situation, trying to scare Darcy.

Darcy's expression turned heavy. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She knew Leigh would not just let this slip so easily. That was why her car was thrashed.

People like Leigh acted however they wanted without abiding by any law or rules and they would not just rest so easily.

Noticing the change of expression on Darcy's face, Tao continued, “Darcy, don't take it .

lightly. The Glitters aren't what you think. Your family is quite strong in Lilyrose and has connections to the city council, plus owning a few high-potential companies.

“But, the Glitters’ history dates back a few generations ago. They have rooted themselves across the entire South River State. Your family is nothing to them.” Tao added an unnecessary hint of disdain in his words. It was as though the two rejections from Kaze did not happen at all.

“We are living in a modern society. People have laws to abide by. No matter how strong the Glitters are, they can't possibly break the

law,” Darcy said anxiously. She wanted to stop him from affecting her.

“Laws? Rules?” Tao curled his lips into a smirk.

“If you feel better by telling yourself that, go ahead. The chief of police, Don Braders, locked up Leigh Glitter for only an hour. Isnt that enough?” Darcy was silenced. She knew Tao's words made sense. ; The Glitter family was a terrifying titan.

She wanted to solve the problem peacefully but Leigh forced her hands.

Tao grinned and was delighted when he saw Darcy's silence.

He said, “Darcy, I know Leigh personally and I can help you get this through.” “What are your terms, Tao?” Darcy was moved but she knew his help did not come for free.

Tao looked at his expensive watch and said, “

This is not a place to talk about that and it is going to be a detailed and lengthy conversation. Let's talk about it over a cup of coffee.” Darcy was cautious.

She knew Tao had ulterior motives for her since the first time they met, but his ways of doing things made her sick.

Besides, after the incident with the guild, she did not want to go out alone with Tao.

Sensing Darcy's caution, Tao said, “What's wrong? Afraid of me? My family and the Otters are long-time friends and partners. Besides, the coffee shop is just next to your office. Do you really think I'll hurt you in broad daylight?” Darcy finally lowered her guard. She reluctantly nodded and said, “Fine. Let's go get coffee then.” 1 Soon, they arrived at a coffee shop next to the office building.
