Guardian-In-Law by Five Generals novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Dissolve 

Before Kaze even replied Darct, the list of birthday gifts was presented. 

“The Chief of Lilyrose City Council, Johnson Brooks, presents a Van Gogh painting.” 

“The Jetstar family, the Junon family, the Joestar family, each presents five million dollars.” 

“Mr. John Walker, Mr. Genji Lord, Ms. Jasmine Sundar…” 

When the guests arrived in the banquet hall, they were once again shocked by the VIPs invited. 

From politicians to well-known businessmen, those affiliated with both the underworld and the government were present. 

The powerful figures of the business world all came with expensive 

presents. 

Pietro, who was in charge of announcing the guests’ names and t gifts, was in awe. Even with his experience, he was amazed by presents received and their value. 

Master Quint and his family were jealous when they heard the presents being announced, especially Deborah. 

It would be great if they were the ones who received the presents and 

not just Darcy. 

“On behalf of the Hilfinger family, Henry Hilfinger from the 

Construction and Material Society presents a jade bracelet, worth a 

million dollars.” 

Pietro was slightly stunned when he announced the name. He looked

“Well well, if it isn’t Mr. Henry Hilfinger who got the money back from me on behalf of Ms. Darcy Quint? How are you?” 

Henry forced a bitter smile on his face. The Hilfinger family prepared the present for the chairman’s wife, who turned out to be Darcy. 

He bit the bullet and presented the gift. 

“Pietro, it’s a misunderstanding…” 

“Misunderstanding? My ass!” 

Pietro kicked him in the stomach. 

Henry curled up like a cooked shrimp on the floor, crying in pain. His eyes were bloodshot. “Pietro, you think you can do whatever you want just because you have Sky High behind your back?” 

“My father is the Chairman of the Construction and Material Society! Everyone who lives in Lilyrose City, the land that my family developed, respects and reveres him!” 

“Henry Hilfinger, you are speaking a little too loud.” 

Kaze laid his eyes on Henry. 

“I thought you prepared a diamond ring for my wife. Why did become a jade bracelet instead?” 

“Mr. Lee…” 

In shock, Henry got up and bowed apologetically. 

He was not afraid of Pietro but it did not mean he had the nerves to 

defy Kaze, the Chairman of Sky High Investment Group. 

Everyone felt sorry for Henry for trying to snatch the chairman’s wife. 

It was undoubtedly a suicidal move. 

Kaze stopped him, saying, “You wanted me to divorce Darcy so Ray would forgive me?” 

Ray went up immediately and bowed apologetically, “Mr. Lee, you have a great sense of humor. What right do I have to forgive you?” 

His words sparked laughter in the crowd and it made Henry look like a 

clown. 

Henry turned pale. As the eldest son of the Hilfinger family, Henry grew up with his praises sung. People had always tried to flatter him, not insult him. 

“Kaze, I’ve apologized. Don’t push it. 

“I’m pushing it? You had your eyes on my wife. You should be grateful that you are still standing here alive.” 

Henry clenched his teeth. He shouted fiercely, “Kaze, this is our turf, our city! Your company is just an outsider. The Construction and Material Society will go to war with you. Even if we can’t win, we will drag you down with us and we will all suffer the consequences!” 

“Nicely said!” Kaze laughed. 

He then looked at Ray and said, “If that’s the case, there is no reas for the Construction and Material Society to exist anymore in Lilyros 

City.” 

What? 

Henry thought he heard Kaze wrong. 

Ray then raised his hand. “Since Mr. Lee has spoken, what are you guys waiting for?” 

A few people emerged from the crowd. 

“GSC Construction is withdrawing from the Construction and Material
