Chapter 449
Guardian-In-Law by Five Generals
Chapter 449 Flip-Flopping âLetâs head back to Lilyrose now, Miru,â with her eyes welled up, Darcy said eagerly.
Since Leo was the mole, it was clear that Kaze was framed.
Darcy beat herself up.
Nobody, including her of all people, believed Kaze at the Lily Garden Hotel.
Driven by rage, she even slapped Kaze.
Darcy wished she could teleport to Lilyrose and bail Kaze out now. She was desperate to apologize to Kaze.
âCome on.â
Miru nodded and walked off with Darcy.
âHang on, Ms. Quint. I have not received the final payment.â
Shaneâs friendly voice came from behind.
If it were not for the remaining 50 million dollars, Shane would n so patient to waste his breath with these two women.
Despite her distraught, Darcy stopped and called Riley to wire the money.
The remaining 50 million dollars was converted into Bitcoins before reaching Shaneâs account.
Darcy said, âYou got the money, Mr. Blanc. We should leave now.â
âYou mean business, Ms. Quint.â
+25 BONUS Shane gave the thumbs up and said gleefully, âBut you canât leave just yet, Ms. Quint. Iâm afraid youâll need to stay with me for a couple more days.â
Darcy scowled.
âWhat do you mean, Shane?â
Miru furrowed her brows and said curtly, âYou provided us with intelligence, and we paid the money.
âWhat else do you want from us?â
She pulled out her phone to call for help.
âAre yo you giving the four men who followed you to Melrose a call? Iâd advise you to save your breath.â
Shane added with a smile, âLeo took them back to Lilyrose before you came. They will testify that you are the mole of Lefteria Group.â
Color drained from Miruâs face.
âLeo was here?â
Skeptical, Miru dialed her four subordinatesâ numbers. All she a chilling busy tone.
Miruâs heart sank to the pit of her stomach.
âClap, clap.â
At the clap of Shaneâs hands, the security team he hired appeared at the door and stared down at Miru and Darcy.
âMs. Scarlet, Ms. Quint, please stay at my humble abode for the next two days. Donât worry. I will be a gracious host if you cooperate.â
Shane was courteous, but he would not take no for an answer either.
+25 BONUS Darcy leaned toward Miru in fear.
She had not interacted with those in the underworld, so she leaned on Miru for support.
Keeping her cool, Miru grabbed her best friendâs arm and stared at Shane. She asked curtly, âHow much did Leo give you, Shane?â
âA billion dollars.â
Shane did not hide that fact.
Miru negotiated. âLet me go now. Youâll get 2 billion dollars once I deal with Leo and take over Lefteria Group.â
While Shane revealed greed in his eyes, he shook his head.
âLeo gave me cold, hard cash, but youâre only giving me a promise. If you were me, who would you choose?â
Was Leo that wealthy?
Though frustrated, Miru was not willing to give up yet. âBe smart, Shane. Donât be fooled by a bit of money.
âWe paid you first. Underground businesses should be condu with integrity. Youâre only giving yourself a bad name.â
Shane took their money and sold them intel.
However, Shane turned around and sold them out because Leo paid higher price.
If word got out, Shaneâs reputation would be ruined.
No one in the underworld would want to work with him.
Shane burst out laughing. âThatâs where youâre wrong, Ms. Scarlet. I received payment from Ms. Quint. You have nothing to do with the transaction whatsoever.
+25 BONUS âIâm keeping you here, and Ms. Quint just so happens to be here. For her safety, she has to stay with you too.â
Miru was livid by Shaneâs audacity.
Since they were outnumbered by the security team, Miru knew they had to cooperate before anything bad happened.
âCome on, Darcy.â
She dragged Darcy out.
Shaneâs men escorted them to the accommodation building.
âBoss said that you are to hand over your phones, Ms. Quint and Ms. Scarlet.â
One of Shaneâs men said when walking to their room.
Miru and Darcy turned in their phones.
They were now disconnected from the outside world.
âIâm sorry, Darcy. I dragged you into this. Itâs Leoâs fault. If he hadnât framed Kaze for killing my godfather, you would have never atten involved,â Miru said apologetically to Darcy.
They were back in the same room.
âNever mind that.â
Darcy knew now was not the time to dwell on faults.
Although she was afraid, she was a tough businesswoman. She would not freak out over every single issue.
Darcy asked, âHow do you plan on solving this, Miru?â
+25 BONUS
