BXBX NOVEL Chapter 460: Cha Family
Chapter 460: Cha Family
Kenzie immediately went to the shower room to refresh herself a bit and get dressed. She was planning to have another night out. She was too twisted and only wanted to get drunk.
She smirked because she had even messaged Daryl about it and she wondered if the man would even care enough to check up on her.
After being satisfied with how she looked, she went out and saw her father in the living room, drinking his tea while reading some magazines.
"You\'re going out again?" he asked wryly.
Kenzie smiled and scorned, "Yup dad. I have to make the most of my six months, right?"
Her father just shifted his gaze back on the magazine he was reading and casually uttered, "I heard you\'re in a relationship with Daryl Cha right now…"
As expected. Although he did give her freedom for six months, here he was making sure everything about her was reported to him up to the tiniest detail. She really appreciated how her father cared for her too much ever since she was a kid.
She was an only child. The only one her mother left him with after dying while giving birth to her. However, she was often suffocated with his overprotectiveness and manipulation of her.
"I checked his profile… He belongs to the Cha family but he\'s basically useless. Disowned by his father! His brother is the one handling the business and has all the power." his father commented.
Kenzie rolled her eyes and mumbled, "That\'s not his real brother but his step-brother dad. They\'re not blood-related so technically Daryl is still the only heir. For all we know, he was schemed upon by someone and those two ganged up against Daryl..."
She too was not sure but she could tell Daryl was a good man judging by the few days that they had been together.
Kenzie heard her father chuckle and reiterate, "My dear… You\'re so naive. That\'s what you get by watching too many dramas instead of learning more about our company and businesses. You\'re already twenty-four. Instead of practicing what you learned in the last two years from business administration courses. You should have studied arts instead."
She heard her father frustratedly sigh as he added, "That\'s why I can\'t trust you with your own future. You need someone who can protect you and take care of you like how am I doing. A man who is powerful enough to provide well for you even when I\'m gone."
Kenzie\'s face crumpled and she mumbled, "Stop saying that dad. You\'re still young and still have many more years to look after me!"
Another chuckle escaped from her father as he jested, "Oh… Are you sincere about that? Do you really want me to look after you for more years to come? Anyways about Daryl, it doesn\'t matter who is blood-related with whom, all that matters is who has the power to manipulate everything.
Senior Cha is already old. Without Daryl around, his so-called \'stepbrother and stepmother\' that you are referring to will surely make their move to gain power over the Cha group. It\'s more about capabilities. It\'s a…"
"Dog-eat-dog world… Yeah… That\'s your favorite line dad. And honestly, it\'s getting old. Can you throw me something new next time?" Kenzie said in jest before she kissed her father on the cheek and said, "I was planning to run away but then decided not to since you will surely find me and miss me to death. Besides I\'m penniless without you.
Just let me enjoy six months then you can do whatever you want. At least choose someone like Liam… Young, handsome, and a good man… That\'s the least you can do for me…" Kenzie beamed and immediately ran out of the door before her father scolded her more.
Senior Chua helplessly looked at her daughter\'s back who left in a flash. With dropped shoulders, he breathed, "Look at that dimwit? Did she really think that I\'m doing this for more power and business alliances?"
Kenzie… she was too clumsy and unskilled, except with art. It was also partly his fault that she grew up knowing nothing and having nothing to do but spend money. Even at school, he had to do all the work using his money for her to just graduate with good grades.
Senior Chua heaved another sigh. It would be great if she could have a good partner in life that could take care of both of her and their business. Someone who could be trusted enough that he would not just use his daughter for money since Kenzie would inherit everything from him. Liam was the best choice and he found him to be of her daughter\'s taste. Too bad it did not materialize.
"Daryl…" he whispered as he grabbed his tablet to complete reading his report about the man. The only thing that was missing in the report was the real reason why he left the Cha family. It was said that he was a blacksheep and his father and he did not agree on so many things that Daryl left the family as soon as he graduated law school.
Then he looked at another profile… Harry Cha - the stepbrother.
"This man is also impressive, despite the fact that he was not a real Cha," he whispered with admiration. The man was the current Group CEO of Cha\'s Group, a multinational investment bank and financial services company.
But there was a situation. Harry was the CEO but he did not have any shares in the company…
"Could it be that Senior Cha is still waiting for his real son to come back?" he whispered as his interest in the Cha family was piqued. Harry would also be a good choice for his daughter because that man did have a good record and he was more stable and responsible than Daryl, who seemed to be just an easy go lucky man.
Harry was also using the Cha name legally so he was already considered a part of the family.
Senior Chua massaged his temples and whispered, "Kenzie dear, you should have learned to be an independent woman by now."
Things would be a lot easier if only his daughter was a competitive career woman like others who were her age. Someone who was smart and cunning, so that no one could easily manipulate her or trample on her.
