Chapter 1128 Just a Trade “I'm not afraid of you being mad at me, so | just made it clear to you. With Kaze's status and identity, he's no match for Leigh.
“He's childish, immature, and always puts you and your family at risk. He's a ticking time bomb. He never considered you and your family’s safety or how much pressure you are facing...” @ Tao suppressed his eagerness to shorten the distance with Darcy and chose to diminish Kaze's value instead.
Darcy listened without making a noise.
Tao was right.
When Leigh forced her into the tight situation, it was Kaze who saved her but undeniably, it was also Kaze's actions that escalated the situation.

little compensation, Leigh and the Glitter family will spare you.” Tao was confident.
He met Kaze twice and both meetings ended on a bitter note with him embarrassed and humiliated.
He resented Kaze. | He instigated Darcy to divorce Kaze based on real factual incidents and how things might turn out but deep down, he simply wanted to see Kaze losing everything.
| He would wear a grin to bed every night if that happened. | Unfortunately, the answer he got was disappointing.
“You know what? You might be telling the truth, but you were wrong. Kaze offended Leigh because of me, and if he had not intervened, god knows what might happen to me.
“You have no right to criticize him for being
childish and immature because that’s the only way out of that situation. What do you expect me to do to get out? Sleep with Leigh? | will never divorce Kaze!” Darcy gave a strong and firm answer and it somehow made Tao jealous.
Tao was burning in the flames of jealousy.
He could not understand how a useless trash like Kaze could win the heart of a rich beauty like Darcy.
“Waiter, bill please!” Darcy finished her coffee and then got up.
While she grabbed her purse, she said, “Tao, if you want to continue this little deal, you can just tell Leigh to put this aside and let Kaze go.

“But, if you want me to divorce Kaze, forget about it.” Tao's expression turned grim.
Darcy paid for her own cup of coffee, which was a sign of her not wanting to further the discussion with him.
Tao leaned back on his chair and said, “Darcy, if you don't want to divorce that man, then you should prepare for Leigh's retaliation.
“If Leigh can put this aside, that would be great; if not, catastrophe will befall you and your family.” Knowing Leigh, Darcy knew Tao was not just trying to scare her.
“Thank you for your reminder.” Her face turned slightly pale but she got her purse and walked away.
Speaking to Tao would not get her an answer.
She might as well go back to the office and try to find another solution.
When she turned around, she saw a familiar face entering the coffee shop and was striding toward her.
She was surprised and delighted. “Kaze? You're back!” |
