Guardian-In-Law

Chapter 9 Shameless Quints

Miru scoffed.

Henry narrowed his eyes and nodded. He ridiculed, “Sure, Kaze. You can show me how it’s done.”

He did not want to waste his time on a retard. With his wealth, if he

wanted, Darcy could live like a queen.

For all that he cared, he might as well give the chance to Kaze and let him screw things up. With the useless retard as a comparison, Henry had a good chance to stand out.

Agnes ignored Kaze completely and asked, “Henry, can you invite Pietro to Darcy’s birthday party? We can thank him for paying us back.”

Henry’s smile froze.

When he called Pietro earlier, Pietro scolded him and hung up impatiently before he could say anything. He did not expect Pietro really pay up.

He was uncertain if he was able to invite Pietro to Darcy’s party.

However, when he saw Kaze looking at him, his heart tightened. He bit the bullet and said, “Agnes, don’t worry. I’ll call Pietro and invite

him.”

He pulled his phone out and dialed the number. His heart was pounding wildly.

“Hello, Pietro? Darcy’s birthday is in three days, and we’d like to invite you to her party.”

“Hahaha! Ms. Quint is inviting me to her birthday party? I’ll be there

“Thank you, Pietro!”

Henry was delighted.

When the group exited Cloud Nine, Agnes had curled her hands

around Henry, which was her way of acknowledging him as her son-in-

law.

Kaze was walking behind the group when he received a call from

Pietro. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Master Lee, I just received a call from Henry Hilfinger, inviting me to Ms. Quint’s birthday party. I said yes, but on second thought,

something felt amiss. Why did he invite me? I am calling just to see your thoughts on this.”

Kaze smiled. “Just come. He said you settled your debt because he asked you to.”

“What?! Who the hell does he think he is?” Pietro was furious. “Master Lee, don’t worry. I will make sure to slap some sense into him when I attend the birthday party.”

“Darcy, you don’t like Henry? I’m telling you he has done a lot for

Miru was putting on her seat belt when she got into her Land Ro

Suddenly, someone opened the rear door. She turned around and sa

Kaze.

She was furious. She shouted, “Kaze, who said you could get into the car? If you can’t afford a car, walk home!”

“Miru, just give him a ride,” said Darcy suddenly in the passenger’s

seat.

“Tsk. Fine. I’ll get my car sanitized later…” grumbled Miru as she

started the car.

In order to not give the two a chance to talk, Miru turned on the radio and increased the volume.

“Dear listeners, we are having a giveaway right now!”

“A while ago, the Queen of Jewel, Jasmine Sundar, from Sixth Eye Jewelry spent thirty million on a necklace, Goddess’ Heart. It stole the headlines for days. Starting tomorrow, the Goddess’ Heart will be on display at Sixth Eye Jewelry’s Gundar Palace outlet. Limited slots

available for the exhibition.”

The two girls in the car were intrigued when they heard the

announcement.

They saw a picture of the Goddess’ Heart in the newspaper before.

No woman could withstand the temptation of the Goddess’ Heart.

“Kaze, you said you are holding a birthday party for Darcy right? Have you prepared the gift?”

Miru teased, “Please don’t tell me you got her some meal vouchers, or it will be embarrassing.

“In my opinion, the Goddess’ Heart will be the perfect gift. Am I righ Darcy?”

Darcy was stunned for a moment before saying, “Miru, what are you talking about? Not even Henry could afford it. Kaze, don’t…”

Kaze pondered. The Goddess’ Heart seemed to be a great gift for

Darcy.

He pulled out the name cards he received earlier and saw Jasmine

Sundar’s.

He texted Jasmine, saying, “I’m buying the Goddess’ Heart.”

Later that night at the Quint family’s mansion, Deborah, who was slapped in the face by Pietro, could not sleep or eat properly. She went to her grandfather to voice her grievance.

Her face was still swollen as she told Master Quint what happened at Loco Town, but with altered facts.

Master Quint frowned.

Deborah looked even more aggrieved when she saw her grandfather’s reaction. “Grandfather, that retard even brought Giovani Beneli’s name to the table and it made Pietro angry. I was slapped and

Pietro said he will come for our family.”

Samus turned pale upon hearing Deborah. “The two of them got beaten up and they just had to drag us into this nonsense. Giovani is a powerful man who runs the underworld. If he is coming for us, we won’t be able to escape…”

The other family members grew scared when they heard Giovani’s

name.

Master Quint was truly afraid, fearing a huge disaster would befall th family.

Right then, two people walked in from the entrance.

When Kaze and Darcy appeared, the family members shouted at the

two of them.

“You two useless shit! Look at what you’ve done! How dare you come

back?”

“Useless trash, if not for you two, Pietro and Giovani won’t come after

us!”

“Wait, they look fine…”

Deborah was slapped but Kaze and Darcy were fine, which baffled the

They expected nothing less than serious injuries from Pietro.

Master Quint did not care about the trivial details. He slammed the table and shouted, “Darcy, am I still your grandfather? I told you to collect the debt but you brought Kaze along to Pietro’s place to cause trouble. Deborah was slapped, and disaster is looming! Are you

satisfied now?”

An impending disaster?

Darcy was stunned upon hearing her grandfather. She did not know. what happened.

Kaze, on the other hand, spotted a frosty grin on Deborah’s face and he noted it in his heart.

He said, “Grandfather, Deborah had it coming. Don’t worry, no one is coming after the Quint family.”

Deborah got anxious. She screamed, “How dare you speak, you stupid retard! Pietro treated me like a VIP. If not for you, I wouldn’t have been slapped! Pietro won’t come after our entire family as w

Master Quint breathed heavily. He pointed at Kaze and shouted, Retard, you ruined our family and you’re still talking like nothing happened? Who gave you the nerves to speak to me like that?!”

“That’s because we recovered the debt. If Pietro were really livid, why would he pay us back?”

He then looked at Darcy and said, “Darcy, show them the proof.”
