"But hasn't the McArthur family been a discreet family?" Lord Regis felt like he had to ask."Of course we have chosen to be like that for a long time, however, I think it's time to come out just a bit. I'll still remain anonymous to most but I'll reveal myself to the people I think it is necessary." Darius explained.Lord Regis slightly nodded his head. But he still found some incongruity in what Darius was asking for. The McArthur family was very discreet and even fewer people knew that the family owned the Charlton Company. But if people saw Darius and Maxwell together, the truth was bound to be revealed sooner than later.At the same time, he could understand why Darius wanted something like that. No one will truly believe him or think much of him if he just went alone, and being new to it all, he needed to get familiar with how things were run and he needed a backer. That was what Maxwell was there for. But what would shock others was that rather than being Darius' backer, Maxwel

The next day, Darius called Maxwell into his office."The mayor did not disappoint." He said immediately Maxwell walked in. "He's sent the details about the ball and the names of the people who will be attending.""He can't afford to disappoint you, young master." Maxwell replied proudly as if it was only natural that the mayor would do as Darius wished."Enough with your flattering." Darius said exasperatedly. "I need you to research on these people and tell me the important I should know about them." Darius said."Yes, young Master." Maxwell replied without questioning.'It is only normal to prepare properly before the hunter goes to hunt.' Darius thought inwardly. He wanted to know everything there was to know about the people he was going to meet.Maxwell indeed took the task seriously and got down to it immediately. Sometime later, Maxwell came in with a note of all the things he had researched and showed it to Darius.Together, Darius and Maxwell studied and took note of the dif

Darius tapped his foot impatiently on the floor as he watched the man furiously try to make use of the connection that he had that made him so arrogant.Darius who was sitting down opposite the man stared straight into his eyes and asked. "Who is the person that you're trying to call so bad?" Darius asked irritatingly."The likes of you could never know him, you think you can barge into my office and demand for money after you were fired? Dream on!" He yelled.The man hadn't even bothered to call the security guards of this company. Those guys were just useless figureheads. Besides, Darius had passed through them already. He knew they did not care, it's not like he also paid them well.~CRACK~The armrest of the chair Darius was sitting on had produced the sound from Darius gripping it too tightly."I asked who is he?" Darius repeated as he gripped the arm rest more tightly. "Doesn't he have a name or a position?" He asked coldly."It's my friend who is involved in the investigation d

"What?!" They all exclaimed in unison."That's bullshit." Johnson said."I'm the one saying it, not young master. Do I look like the kind of person to joke around uselessly?" Maxwell snapped at him with irritation.Johnson went silent and looked at Darius in disbelief. Madam Felicia and Hannah were also silent and in shock. It took a while for them to process what they had just heard.Darius had been a genius. Carla's family knew that because Carla had told them when she first wanted to marry Darius. They all believed that Darius would somehow become very rich one day but it never happened, it just so happened that Darius was unlucky.It began to make sense to Madam Felicia bit by bit. After Darius had been made to divorce Carla, he just suddenly changed and had money. Anyone would assume that Darius had something strange so they had naturally suspected that he wasn't saying the truth.He hadn't even bothered to explain the source of his sudden wealth and that was enough to get Madam

"The other day, you said the Morris has sold their company to Mr Churchill..." Darius said as he spoke to Maxwell."Yes, young master. That seems to be the case." Maxwell replied with an affirmative nod."Then, I want you to do something." Darius said with a cunning smile. "I need you to use your connections and make contact with someone in the company that can work as a personal spy and agent for me in that company." Darius said."For what purposes sir?" Maxwell asked with an intrigued gaze."That Man, Mr Churchill, bought another company that I've not sabotaged, it's only right to make things balanced don't you think?" Darius asked with a twisted smile."I see." Maxwell replied. I'll get someone today surely." He promised.***The next day. Mr Churchill woke up to new problems that arose in his new company overnight. It was the company that he had bought from Carla's family.Some expensive and heavy duty engines in the company caught fire overnight and the engines became wasted. Bec
