Kaze’s words left the room full of people dumbfounded.
With red-rimmed eyes, Lil Dee pointed at Kaze and blurted angrily, “You went back on your word, bastard!” Lil Dee had kneeled and cleared the air.
He assumed the humiliation would be enough for him to keep his position as the ambassador and piggyback on Sam's popularity.
Yet, Kaze wanted to back out of the contract.
Kaze’s scornful eyes nearly drove Lil Dee to the edge.
Ashen in the face, Alyssa said to Darcy curtly, “Ms. Quint, | guess integrity isn’t one of Sky Ocean Corporation's business core values since you can’t keep your word.” Darcy furrowed her brows.

I've never said that he would still be the ambassador if he apologized on his knees and cclean openly.” While talking, he turned to Lil Dee. “Besides, it was the least you could do. You made a fuss, demanding that | kneel before you to apologize. You should have seen it all coming when you hired trolls to slander me.
“Get lost now. At least you can still walk out with sdignity intact,” Kaze said and waved Lil Dee off.
Lil Dee yelled furiously, “Bastard! Who do you think you are? You don’t make the decisions for Sky Ocean Corporation.” “Ms. Quint, people might think just your husband is the one running Sky Ocean Corporation,” Alyssa said sarcastically to rile Darcy up.
Pulling a long face, Darcy said indifferently, “I'm the chairman of Sky Ocean Corporation, but in this case, | stand by my husband’s decision.” Lil Dee and Alyssa grew upset.
Darcy intended to withdraw from the collaboration with them.
Lil Dee and Alyssa panicked.
Alyssa said anxiously, “You better think it through, Darcy. You will be paying the high penalty for breach as written in the contract.” Darcy could not believe the woman would threaten Sky Ocean Corporation with the penalty for the breach of contract.
Sky Ocean Corporation could afford the penalty and then some.
Kaze smiled and said, “You'll have to take us to court if you want to see a penny from us. You can forget about becoming the ambassador of Mountain Dew Estate. Bye. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” Darcy called security before Alyssa and Lil Dee could say anything more.
They dared not make a scene in case the security personnel kicked them off the premises. It would be the end of Lil Dee’s social media career if the press caught them on the way out.
Alyssa and Lil Dee left with their tails tucked between their legs.
Later, Sky Ocean Corporation issued a statement, declaring the termination of its partnership with Lil Dee.
Despite Thousand Leaf Entertainment's frustration, the employees could not do anything about it.
Having secured Professor Whiteman as their brand ambassador, Sky Ocean Corporation now boasted an ironclad defense. Thousand Leaf Entertainment’s underhanded tactics were no longer effective.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat was the end of the matter.
The development of Mountain Dew Estate carried on as planned.
Darcy dove back into work mode, but amid her hectic schedule, she showed great interest in Kaze’s work progress.
“Kaze, Miru calledjust now. She wants you to take up your appointment at Hudson Investment Firm tomorrow. You can learn a lot just from observations, alright?” Darcy urged Kaze like a nagging mother.
“Got it, babe. | got it covered.” Kaze felt happy and helpless.
He did not need to prove himself through Hudson Investment Firm, but he could not let Darcy down either.
Still, he intended to take a hands-free approach like before.
After much contemplation, he decided to take one person from Shangrila Group to Hudson Investment Firm.
Upon arriving at the office building of Shangrila Group, Kaze made a beeline to Winnie's office.
Winnie was unaware of Kaze's presence as she crossed her arms and spoke on the phone in front of the window.
“Zenny, | said the divorce is not up for debate. It will happen.”
