The woman remained rooted to the spot, looking shell-shocked. Darius intended to play along and act like he didn’t know what was happening, but he wanted so badly to laugh at the woman’s terrible acting. Besides, no maid employed by the Reid family would wear thigh-high stockings while working. Still, he knew he had to pretend everything was fine. He put on an angry look and growled, “I’m disgusted by your presence, so you’d better stay away from me!” At his words, the woman’s face became ashen. He tapped his fingers on the edge of the bathtub, wondering whether he’d been too harsh. Would she be able to continue with her act? His lips twitched as he shut his eyes and said, “Remember not to wear anything other than the proper uniform when you come to work next time…no matter how good it looks on you.”Darius sensed her surprise and pleasure at his words and heard footsteps approaching him. He frowned imperceptibly and was about to warn her off when Teivel’s voice blared in his mind. “

Darius pointed at the bathroom as he spoke. “You can check the bathroom if you want. It’s the same as all the other bathrooms, and nothing here can allow me to upload anything online.” He looked at Bruce, who still looked like he had something to say. As an enlightened martial artist, he immediately knew what Bruce was thinking, and his lips twitched. Darius gave Bruce a helpless look and said, “Look, the cameras have nothing to do with me.”Bruce immediately sighed in relief. Darius curbed the urge to roll his eyes and turned to look at the woman while tapping his fingers on the couch’s armrest. The atmosphere became so tense that Bruce dropped his head again, looking at the floor. After a few seconds, Darius said, “Bruce.” It made Bruce shudder and lower his head even more. He couldn’t imagine what Darius was about to say and sweat beaded on his forehead. Darius ignored his roiling emotions and said, “You should look into how this woman sneaked in here and made her way to my room.”

The woman explained, “I was short on money, and they said they’d pay me handsomely to do this. All I had to do was bring a camera along when coming here.”Darius frowned. “How’d you get in here?” His tone was cold; the woman’s explanation meant nothing to him.The woman gulped. “I don’t know. They told me to take a concoction, after which I lost consciousness. When I came to, I was already here.” Darius frowned at this, and she exclaimed, “Wait! I swear I’m telling the truth!”She knew Darius wasn’t satisfied with her answer, but that was all she knew. She looked at him tearfully as he said, “Was it necessary for you to scream at me like that?”She said tremulously, “Sorry, I…I didn’t mean to.”His eyes were still cold, but he let her go. This didn’t make the woman relax, though. On the contrary, she tensed as her breathing sped up. “W-What are you doing?”Darius smirked at her. She slowly squatted down and buried her head against her knees, trembling violently. He said, “I’m glad you

James looked at Darius with bright eyes. “I realized that some of the younger members of the Reid family weren’t too pleased by your return. The Reid family has always put up a united front, so I had to interfere with some of their ploys to ambush you. Still, it’s inappropriate for me to deal with them directly, so you’ll have to do it yourself. I do understand why they feel this way, though. After all, they’ve been fighting to inherit my fortune since they were children.”Darius wasn’t too bothered by this. He was prepared to deal with these matters, so he stood up and said, “I understand, Grandpa.” Then, his eyes widened, and he turned to look out the window. He could hear there were more people gathered outside, and he looked determined. “Grandpa, this might be a little too late, but I’ve just realized something—the troublemakers gathered outside, and everything that’s happened today…they’re all my so-called relatives’ doing, right?”James raised an eyebrow and smiled. “You’re rig

Chapter 640 Control##Otherwise, the situation would only be worse than it already was. Who knew how bad the rumors would become? And so, Bruce could only put a hand on his chest in an attempt to slow his racing heart.Darius sensed his anxiety, but this didn’t affect him. He looked at the crowd without blinking despite the countless cameras flashing at him—of course, he had to channel his life force to his eyes to keep this up. He tucked his hands in his pockets and looked at the reporters expressionlessly. The lights didn’t stop flashing even after a few minutes, so he said, “Your actions right now make me suspect that you only came here to take photos of me.”At his words, the flashes slowed down and eventually stopped, making him raise an eyebrow. “I’m surprised you guys actually listened to me. Perhaps you can start asking your questions now.” Several hands shot up immediately, but to their surprise, Darius didn’t even spare them a glance. Instead, he continued, “However, befor
