“Then, when our mother came over to get even with him, they killed her!”“Oh? Well, I haven’t heard such an absurd thing,” one of the control room personnel replied calmly, “We’ll investigate this matter. I’ll need you guys to come with me until we find out the truth.” Darius could tell the personnel was not in a good mood, but he remained in his seat.The personnel nudged his spectacles before frowning at Darius. Even his tone took on a snarl. “Did you not hear what I said? I told you to come with me!”Darius continued to stay seated, not moving, save for his gaze that shot toward Edward.Upon seeing that, the personnel looked over at Edward. “I saw what happened earlier. You were the one who started the fight and beat them up.”That was when the airport’s speakers recited Darius and his entourages’ names, urging them to board the plane.Darius stood, adjusting his suit before saying, “Before you decide to arrest us, you’ll need to look for their mother’s so-called dead body and investigate

Darius spoke straightforwardly.“I have some bad news for you. According to my investigation, your lover holds 20% of this airline company’s shares. However, I own 51%. While the 20% grants your lover the status of being one of the top two major shareholders…”The manager’s face became pale. What shocked him more was that things had not ended there.“...You’re not someone capable. All you did was rely on your looks to seduce your current lover. You’re only able to stand here and point fingers at me so rudely because your lover gave you this position,” Darius continued.He then cracked his neck, adding while he examined the manager’s expression, “There’s more that I know, such as your lover’s husband. His and my company rarely engage in collaborations as he’s far too inferior.”The manager suddenly had a relaxed expression. Upon seeing that, Darius’ lips curled into a sneer. “Of course, those are merely my opinions. The same can’t be said for your lover. If her husband wanted to fire you and

Not a word came from Darius. All he did was shut his eyes and continue to rest.It was not long before Erin closed her laptop and stood, her eyes gleaming. “It’s done, Mr. Reid.”At the same time, her features loosened with signs of exhaustion.Darius opened his eyes, but before he could speak, the woman guffawed. “Anyone can find out who owns the airline by searching it online. Besides, I’m the company’s—”No longer patient, Darius shot onto his feet and glared daggers at the woman. “I hope you remember that I own more than half of this airline company’s shares. In other words, I have absolute control over this company, which means I can replace this company’s board and executive manager as I please.”Fear coursed through the woman’s veins.She raised her head, casting a shaky look at Darius while musing, “I’m the second major chairperson in this company after Darius. I’m also the executive manager. In saying that before a crowd, Darius is making others question my authority! I can’t let hi

The flight attendant’s cheeks took on a bright pink hue. Even her voice sounded much gentler. “Dearest passenger, we’re about to take off, so that man shouldn’t be standing up now as it will affect the take-off procedures. That’s why I lectured him. My actions also make the overall flight smoother for passengers like you.”Her intentionally honeyed tone sounded like nails scratching against a chalkboard in Darius’ ears. He was not impressed and could discern the woman’s nature, as well as what she was thinking of at the moment.“I don’t care what your thought processes is,” Darius said, “But I hope that you won’t cause me any more displeasure in the journey ahead.”The flight attendant's face turned pale, unable to accept what Darius said. It was shocking to her that Darius, a gentleman from top to bottom, could utter such harsh words. She stood rooted to her spot for the longest time before the in-flight announcement stated they would be taking off soon. Nonetheless, she ignored it.Her p

Kate intended to say more, but Darius suddenly opened his eyes.His icy glare sent chills down everyone’s spines while he ordered the captain, “You may fly this plane at its regular speed if you’re able to take off within ten minutes.”Anxiously, Kate chewed on her bottom lip while scrutinizing Darius’ face. Only after seeing his blank look did she realize he was serious. Thus, she nodded at the hesitant captain beside her. “Go. Get the plane to Almiron City as quickly as you can.”The seat in front of Darius was empty.Kate did not hesitate to sit there and buckle her seatbelt.“I don’t think that’s your seat,” said a frowning Darius. “Besides, it bothers me.”He felt a hitch in Kate’s breath but did not dwell on it. Instead, he shut his eyes.The plane soon took off.Silence ensued in the cabin as no one wanted to bring up what had happened before taking off.Throughout the journey, Kate kept looking behind her, but Darius’ eyes did not open, nor did he show signs of wanting to speak to her.
