Chapter 647 Found Out

“What’s the matter, Mom?” Darcy asked uneasily.

She was baffled,

Her mother did not say anything when she spent the night out with Kaze last night.

Somehow, Agnes was on Kaze’s case again.

“What’s the matter? Don’t tell me you are still kept in the dark.”

Agnes pointed at Kaze and uttered angrily, “Word has gone around that the Butterworth Queens bought Mountain Dew Estate and Sky Ocean Corporation,

not Kaze!

“The Queens bought into your company, Darcy. They have high regard for your competence and intend to put you in charge of Sky Ocean Corporation anyway.

“How could you say that you bought Sky Ocean Corporation for Darcy, Kaze?”

She disapproved of Kaze and her daughter spending the night out before yesterday.

Agnes held to the thought of making them go through with divorce once the mandatory waiting period was up.

Later, she caved in a little when Kaze won the bid for Sky Ocean Corporation. Hence, she turned a blind eye to the couple’s night away last night.

To her dismay, Kaze was caught in a lie before the night had passed.

Agnes was livid, to say the least.

“I have heard nothing of that sort. Don’t just trust rumors, Mom.”

Darcy said with a frown, “Alfonso said yesterday that Kaze bought Sky Ocean Corporation. You heard him.”

“Rumors? The news is everywhere, and it came from a credible source.”

A news report came on the TV next to them.

“Queen Capital in Butterworth held a press conference this morning, making its official entry into the Lilyrose market. Queen Capital’s CEO, Ash Lester joined us today to make the announcement.”

A woman with shoulder–length hair, dressed professionally, was shown on TV making a statement.

“She must be Ash. She was at the Property Trade Center yesterday. What do you have to say for yourself, Darcy?

“I didn’t know Ms. Lester was working for the Queens.”

Darcy was bewildered. “But why didn’t the Queen family tell me that they bought Sky Ocean Corporation to make me the chairwoman? It’s a huge deal.”

“You’re highly competent, you know,” Agnes said peevishly.

Nelson, still in uniform, waltzed his way into the room.

He snapped an angry look at Kaze. “I heard that Kaze raised the bidding paddle on behalf of the Queens at the auction yesterday. The Queens weren’t present, but they paid the money.

“The Queens probably wanted to be discreet and told Alfonso and the others that Kaze bought the assets instead.

“Hmph. He’s nothing but a pawn to the Queens.

“Hehe. Thank goodness for a kind soul who exposed last night’s incident.”

The truth was out. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Agnes and the others tore into Kaze.

If Darcy had not put her foot down, Kaze would have been thrown out of the house.

Kaze could not be bothered to defend himself.

Darcy did not blame him in any way.

“Kaze, you should’ve told me that Mathias sent you to acquire Sky Ocean Corporation on behalf of his family. I thought you bought it yourself.

“I was confused where the money came from, hoping it wasn’t obtained illegally. Now, I feel assured.”

Kaze did not know how to react as the lingering fear took hold of Darcy.

Darcy was probably the only one in the world who was afraid of him having too much money.

Newfound wealth tended to attract shallow friends.

The ones who truly cared would show concern.

During lunch, Nelson opened a bottle of wine from Hector’s collection without asking.

He acted like he owned the place.

“Liar, liar, they’ll never ever let you win. Liar, liar, everything you do is sin, Liar, nobody believes you…”

He took a sip and began singing.
