Chapter 532 Bite the Hand That Feeds You


    Despite her displeasure, Taylor kept her feelings to herself.


    She could not afford to piss off Kaze, the type without qualms to throw money


    around.


    Besides, Kaze was not just wealthy.


    Alisa said that Kaze had to hold a higher position than the chiefmander of


    Lilyrose Strategic Department to set foot into Emperor Hall.


    Kaze was the definition of power. Hence, Taylor stood there without a word.


    “I needed Rose to see you for who you are, Taylor, but I also need to find something


    out from you.”


    Amid the tension, Kaze spoke.


    Taylor’s breath hitched. “Ask away, Mr. Lee.”


    “Did my buddy, James White, really assault you?”


    Shocked, Taylor looked up at Kaze in disbelief. She did not expect Kaze to be a good


    friend to James.


    “Mr. Lee, I–I…”


    Fear stirred in Taylor’s eyes.


    Her knees went weak, and she fell into a kneeling position. Her tiny frame


    shuddered.


    “Stand up and talk,” Kaze said indifferently.


    Taylor shakily rose to her feet.


    Kaze then said, “I want the truth from you. Did James ever assault you?”

    “No, he never touched me.”


    Taylor reached out to hold the back of a nearby chair to stop herself from sinking to


    the ground.


    Kaze stared at her in chilling silence. He was waiting for Taylor to tell the whole


    story.


    “I’m sorry, Mr. Lee, I was wrong. The top three families made me do it.


    “James was wheelchair–bound after the car ident. He was upset because Shangr Group was


    being targeted again.


    “The families wanted me to have a heart–to–heart with James and get him drunk. They wanted to take


    a video of me pushing James away, so they could im that he


    assaulted me.


    “The truth was, James was optimistic. He wasn’t beaten down like the rumors said he was. He didn’t


    drink much, and he pushed me away when I got too close.


    “He lectured me for my misbehavior and chalked it off as me being the influence. He


    said I was a sister to him.


    “Two dayster, Winnie introduced me to an agency in the south. They were kind.”


    Taylor unveiled the truth in tears.


    Kaze uttered curtly, “You used their kindness against them to get the media. attention on yourself.


    Since then, your rise to stardom has been smooth sailing.


    “That’s not the only thing. James‘ death anniversary is drawing near.


    “You have not been back to Lilyrose for two years, and now you’re dancing on his grave by having a


    concert here.”


    Kaze stood up and red at Taylor. “You bit the hand that fed you.”


    “I’m sorry, Mr. Lee. I was wrong. I know it’s my fault.”


    Taylor fell to her knees once again and apologized tearfully.


    “You should apologize to James, not me.”


    Kaze added coldly, “Cancel the concert that’s supposed to happen three dayster. I

    want you to be at the graveyard to pay your respects to James.


    “I expect a public apology to Shangr Group from you. I want my buddy’s name


    cleared.”


    Taylor had the audacity to demand an apology from Shangr Group, and she mentioned it during an


    interview.


    In that case, Kaze expected the same things from her.


    Taylor, knees on the ground, shuddered.


    The truth would be out the moment she apologized publicly.


    She could forget being a star.


    Heck, that would be a social suicide.
