Chapter 716 Clear the Mall

As the banquet began, many came to toast and flatter Hector.

Their conversation always led to Darcy without exception.

Hector would usually have a little drink now and then, watching the amount he drank.

However, he clinked glasses with all the guests today.

Later when nobody drank with him, he started pouring wine into his own glass.

While shedding tears, he downed his drink.

“What’s the matter with you, Hector? Don’t scare me.”

Agnes pulled him back.

“And he who had so loved her was not there, to trouble with bad hopes, or evil wishes…” Hector rasped, his tone miserable.

The guests near Hector thought he was acting strange.

Darcy’s family, on the other hand, knew what was going on.

Hudson bossed Master Quint and the rest of the family around.

They were kicked out of the venue in front of everybody.

The former Quints were utterly humiliated.

Even though Hector resented Master Quint, his father, for turning his back on him, sadness washed over him.

The whole family felt down.

The sumptuous food tasted like nothing.

Darcy had always been the former Quints‘ punching bag. Yet, she was not pleased to see what the former Quints had become.

She was upset.

“The unfortunate often have their share of blame,” Kaze said indifferently.

Kaze could help the former Quints rise to social ranks easily.

He had given them many chances. Alas, they let the opportunities slip.

The former Quints lost everything, forsake their family name, and faced public

condemnation.

They thought they had become part of the mega–rich.

All they became were the lapdogs of the mega–rich.

They had no one to blame but themselves.

The party came to an end.

After saying goodbye to Hudson, Darcy and her family left Dynasty Hotel.

Kaze promised to go shopping with Brenda, so he parted ways with Darcy’s family at the hotel entrance.

Since Golden Edge was a walking distance from Dynasty Hotel, Kaze, Brenda, and Winnie took a stroll there.

“Help me with the claw machine later, Godfather. I want a lot of plushies.”

Brenda clung to Kaze. She was as happy as a clam.

“I feel like you are father and daughter while I’m just the godmother.”

Even Winnie felt jealous.

She was grateful to Kaze. Their family life had only gotten better since Kaze showed up.

James found his justice.

The Goldings and Taylor were waiting for trial. Prison time was definitely on the cards for them.

Kaze, Brenda, and Winnie entered Golden Edge.

Not in a hurry to shop for clothes, Kaze took Brenda to the claw machine.

“Wow! You’re amazing, Godfather! Now catch that teddy!”

It took a while, but Kaze managed to catch a few plushies. Still, Brenda was overjoyed.

She had a great time.

A security officer suddenly approached them. “I’m sorry, but please leave Golden Edge now. The mall is about to close.”

Nearby, many security officers, management personnel, and even shopping guides of different shops persuaded other customers to leave.

The mall was being cleared.

“What the hell? I was in the middle of my meal. Why are you kicking us out? It’s only half past nine, not nearly the closing time. That’s not how you do business.”

A hot–tempered man yelled outside a restaurant.

Many shared his sentiment.

It was easy for the shoppers to walk away. They could simply not choose to buy anything from the shops.

However, it was absurd to be thrown out in the middle of a meal.

“I’m sorry, sir. We have our orders. Please work with us. We won’t charge you your meal,” a server apologized to the man.

“It’s not a matter of money. It’s the principle!”

Trying to be sensible, the man uttered, “Are you catching a criminal on the loose, or is the mall on fire?”

“Yeah. We’re not unreasonable people. We’ll cooperate if there’s a real emergency,” many customers chimed in.

However, the server had no idea either.

The hot–tempered man said angrily, “Anybody would be pissed if they were told to leave halfway eating without a reason.”

“No one cares how you feel.”

They barked at the public.

“Leave Golden Edge right now. We have a VIP reserving the entire mall, and the place needs to be cleared. Leave now!”
