Benji thoughtthat Darius would at least consider it. To his disappointment, Darius shook hishead firmly. “I might have a slightly better impression of you now, but it’snot enough to stop me from going after someone who has repeatedly tried to harmme.”His face and tonewere devoid of emotion, making it clear to everyone that Benji’s wish wouldnever come true. Benji paled. He put his hands on his knees, seemingly wantingto get to his feet, but he failed.Calypso stoodnearby, watching them. She didn’t expect Benji to go this far for her,especially when he usually acted like he couldn’t care less about her. Herheart skipped a beat, and she placed a hand on her chest as she walked towardhim.The moment shestarted moving, Darius heard her footsteps. He frowned deeply and turned tolook at her with dissatisfaction, but he didn’t stop her. She stopped beforeBenji and looked down at him.All Benji knewwas that a pair of expensive-looking heels had appeared within his line ofsigh

Darius didn’tallow them to ask more questions after saying that. He looked at Calypso’swaist and said calmly, “You have a blade tucked into your waistband now, don’tyou? You must’ve put in a lot of effort to pick it up amidst the chaosearlier.” Calypso paled,not expecting Darius to know about this. Earlier, when she was doing this,she’d kept an eye on Darius to ensure he wasn’t paying attention to her. Shestiffened, at a loss for what to do.Benji suddenlylooked up at Darius with a resolute gaze. “Darius, I’m sure there’s amisunderstanding somewhere. Calypso might’ve made many wrong choices, but I’mpositive she wouldn’t stab someone.”Darius opened hismouth, then shut it again and massaged his temples. “I don’t think there’sanything further to discuss. If you have something to say about this, I don’tmind dealing with the both of you together.”Everyone’sexpression changed at his words. Calypso looked expectant, and Kate lookedworried, but Benji merely nodded. “If you c

Calypso relaxedat his words and started to look victorious. “That must mean that he isn’t awealthy person.” Unfortunately for her, she was absolutely wrong. Wilson smiledwith satisfaction.“Darius comesfrom one of the most powerful families in the world, and he has immeasurablewealth. In fact, he’ll be inheriting all of his family’s businesses in thefuture,” Kate said sincerely as she looked at Calypso, hoping to see herapologize.Though she didn’tlike Calypso, she knew Benji wanted to help her. And so, she was doing what shecould to help. However, she was disappointed once again.Calypso stoodthere with her arms crossed, looking mocking. She said sharply, “I know you’redesperate to be with Darius, and you’ve already thrown your family aside forhim. In fact, when your dirty laundry was aired for the world to see, youdecided to continue helping Darius for the sake of your relationship ratherthan thinking of ways to protect our family’s reputation. That’s all thatI’ve be

Kate had beenprepared to give up her whole inheritance to help Darius, but it now seemedlike things between Darius and Wilson were completely different from what she’doriginally thought. She stood thereand looked at Wilson curiously, thinking that Darius and Wilson must’ve reachedan agreement. Perhaps Darius was a shareholder of the Gillette Group.As she tried topuzzle things out, Wilson closed his eyes and sighed, looking upset. Hecouldn’t bring himself to admit this, and he had to say it aloud in front of somany people. It was a huge insult to him, but he knew that this was exactlywhat Darius wanted. Darius knew thathe hadn’t transferred the shares willingly, so he wanted to use this as a wayto make him concede and yield to him—it was written all over Darius’ face.Wilson couldn’thelp but gnash his teeth at this thought. He hated that he was aware of allthis but unable to change anything. He clenched his fists tightly and forcedout through gritted teeth,“Darius has

Darius had once again guessed what she was thinking. She tried to come up with a reasonable excuse for herself but failed.Soon, she started to look fearful. It wasn’t because she couldn’t think of a reason, but because Darius started to smile while looking at her for no reason whatsoever.To Calypso, this wasn’t a good thing. As she tried to think of a way to get herself out of this situation, Darius said, “Before you said anything, I truly had no intention of going after Wilson because he’s innocent in all of this. However, I changed my mind when I saw your concern and fear. Perhaps punishing or tormenting Wilson would be a better way to torture you.” As he spoke, he turned to face them.Calypso stood there. She could clearly sense Wilson’s despair at Darius’ words, and she turned pale. Wilson’s reaction told her that Darius wasn’t pulling her leg. He was truly wealthy and merely kept a low profile, but he would definitely walk the talk.Without any hesitation, she stood before Wils

She swiftly gave Calypso a kick in the back, making her lose her balance and hurtle toward the ground. However, Bridget was still holding on to her, so half of her body was on the ground while the other half was in the air. Then, two things fell out of her pocket, attracting everyone’s attention.Darius had been watching Calypso. He still had some questions for her, and he frowned when he saw the things that had fallen out of her pockets. He walked over to her and picked them up, an ugly look creeping onto his face when he realized what they were.Bridget felt it’d been a while since she’d seen Darius like this. She wanted to see what he was holding but couldn’t because she was still pinning Calypso down. She couldn’t afford to let her guard down around such a cunning woman. Fortunately, Darius showed her what the things were. “This is surveillance equipment. Everything that happened earlier has already been sent to someone.”Bridget frowned, then said seriously, “Her people must be

Calypso lay with her chest on the ground, her eyes widening as she tried to turn her head, wanting to frown bitterly at Darius but failing; it strained her neck too much to look at Darius. That, however, did not stop a boiling fury from surging inside her.The Anderson family suddenly kicked a loud fuss as Darius was about to enter the villa.He had not dealt with such disarray in a while, so it made him stop, shove his fingers into his ears, and sigh. Disdain swept past his now steely eyes as he growled, “Although Calypso can no longer speak on behalf of you, I can’t help wondering if she’s always been your leader in these past few years.”Darkness shrouded the Anderson family members’ faces just then. They could not confirm Darius’ assumption as it was not the truth. Seeing how everyone fell silent, Benji spoke up. “We haven’t kept in touch with them in the many years that passed. Still, from what we know, not much should’ve happened on their end.”Lips curling into a smirk, Darius

Bridget had dropped Edward and Erin off someplace safe earlier. Once she left, the two found a coffee shop nearby, taking shelter until the dust settled with Darius and the Gillette Group. They sat down, but before they could order any drinks, they heard some people whispering from the table next to theirs.“Oh my god, why would anyone upload this kind of video online? Tsk! My eyes hurt from watching it…” a guy said while shaking his head at his phone.The second person eagerly looked at the phone and exclaimed, “Maybe it’s because the two people in that video are very famous! That guy’s Darius Reid, the top dog at Kingston University. What’s even more shocking is he used to be the poorest student there. It’s just that he somehow became rich overnight.”Upon hearing that, the first guy’s jaw fell wide open.“Woah,” he replied, “I didn’t know that. Well, what about the girl in the video? She looks pretty. Although, nothing about her seems remarkable. Is she a celebrity?”“No, that you

"If you hadn't picked on me, I wouldn't have ended up like this. No matter how wealthy I've become, I'll never be able to take these black robes off!" The mysterious man's voice was shaky. He was extremely agitated.James frowned at that. He said curiously, "You keep saying I've done you wrong, but everything I did to you was what you did to others. I only gave you a taste of your own medicine."The mysterious man's breathing sped up when he heard that. He barked out a laugh and sneered, "I'll be honest with you. I never thought I'd have the chance to meet someone as dumb as you again."He shook his head. "I find it hard to imagine what your grandson will do when he sees you like this." As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the door was kicked open with a loud bang. The man was caught off guard. He looked at Darius as his body trembled violently.Darius frowned when he saw this. It was completely different from what he'd imagined. He narrowed his eyes at the mysterious man, his

Gabriel smiled and nodded. "Alright, then. I'll return to my workstation and prepare a proposal on what to do with Noah."Darius nodded and smiled. "Good. That's all I ever wanted." He turned to leave. "You need to get to work, and I need to return to my hotel to get some rest."Gabriel stopped. Darius' words made him hesitate. "I'm sorry to be asking this because I don't think it's my place, but it's probably better for me to ask anyway. I don't remember there being any hotels nearby."You should head home if you wanna get some rest. I don't understand why you're heading to a hotel to rest."Darius raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. He turned with his hands behind his back to look at Gabriel helplessly. "I don't know how to feel about what you've just said. You're making me think you're a little silly. Wouldn't I know how to search for a hotel?"It won't take you long to prepare a proposal, but it'll take me ages to get home from here." Darius turned and left.Gabriel's lips twitc

"Because you realized the risk was far greater than what you were comfortable with," Darius said calmly.But Noah started trembling. He looked at Darius in terror. He didn't expect Darius to see right through him after some simple back-and-forth. His eyes widened in fear.Everything that was happening now made him feel like he was dreaming. Noah had only been a step away from success, yet Darius had ruined everything.Tears filled his eyes as he gazed at Darius. "I've said everything there is to say. I'm the lowest rung on this ladder, and I only have one purpose for being here. It's to make you come under the authorities' control. Once you're here, my mission's accomplished."Someone else from the authorities will be here to deal with you, but that has nothing to do with me. They wouldn't have told me about it, anyway."Darius put his hands behind his back without saying anything. He turned to leave. Noah's eyes widened as he stared in fear at Darius' back.Darius didn't see this, bu

When Darius straightened up, his face became devoid of emotion. He said calmly, "I've wasted too much time on you. Now, I only want frank answers. Otherwise, I'll punish you for every lie that you tell me. I don't see any hope in your eyes, but let's see whether you prove me wrong."Darius paused, then continued, "I've already said something similar once. That was a chance I gave you. From this moment onward, I want you to know that I won't repeat myself because I believe you've had enough time to prepare yourself."Gabriel stood beside him and put his hands behind his back as his lips twitched. He'd thought about the various reasons for Darius repeating himself. But the one thing that hadn't occurred to him was that Darius had done it to give Noah time to prepare.Gabriel felt like applauding Darius, but the rational side of him stopped him from doing so. His rationality told him he'd be in for trouble if he were to do that, so he only looked at Darius with a smile.Darius sensed Ga

Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled. Then, he said, "You're too nervous, Gabriel. It makes it seem like you don't trust me. In truth, there's nothing for you to worry about."He stretched his neck and continued, "I know very well how bad the consequences of destroying this building will be. Aside from those silly regulations, I'll also need to pay for it. I might be wealthy, but that doesn't mean I'll enjoy forking out a huge sum of money as compensation."Darius spread his hands and shrugged. At the same time, he pointed at the window and turned to look at Gabriel. Then, he said, "Look. The windows are perfectly fine. They're not even scratched. That shows my life force is non-destructive."That's why you have nothing to worry about. You can put your heart back into your chest."Gabriel straightened up and sighed in relief. Then, he gave Darius an embarrassed smile.Darius grinned but didn't say anything in response. He put his hands behind his back and turned to look at Noah. He sai

"We're classmates from the same major, too! We were interns at Dream Investment Group, remember? And we got kicked out on our first day. You broke my legs because of a tiny argument we had outside the building! The surveillance cameras captured all of this!" Noah cried.Darius tucked his hands into his pockets and rolled his eyes. Then, he said mockingly, "You're the biggest fool I've ever met. Do you think you're the only one who can tamper with the surveillance footage? Any footage that can be tampered with can also be restored."Noah's eyes widened in shock. He gulped and tried to think of a way to explain away the injuries Darius had inflicted on him. Still, he couldn't think of anything. Before he had the chance to think any further, Darius spoke.He said, "There's one thing you got right, though. Gabriel is on my side, so he'll stand up for me no matter what you say."Gabriel's lips twitched at that. He subconsciously opened his mouth to say something in return, but Darius bea

"And I don't think it's my job to make you see sense," Gabriel continued. He put his hands behind his back. He gave Noah a look that was an odd mixture of gentle iciness. "I've given you more than enough time and chances."Gabriel sighed. "It's obvious that you don't care for that, though. And so I think it's time for me to treat you as an officer should." He sat down on the other side of the desk again.Noah's face was white with fear. Gabriel acted like he didn't see this, though. He smiled. "As I mentioned, I gave you plenty of time and chances, but you didn't appreciate them."His gaze turned frosty. "If that's the case, I'm sure you won't object to me doing this per our guidelines."Noah cried, "No, wait! I don't know what Darius has promised you to make you side with him unconditionally, but there's no way I'll let you two get away with this. You have to make sure you do everything by the book. It's a reasonable request, and you have no right to turn me down!"He trembled viole

Gabriel put his hands behind his back as he looked at Noah with a smile. "Now, you've piqued my interest."Noah looked up at Gabriel. His voice was deep and hoarse as he said, "If you help me, I'll give you half of the Reid Consortium's assets once I get my hands on them. You should know that without me, there's no way you'll get a dime from the Reid Consortium."Gabriel snorted with laughter when he heard that. He straightened up and slowly circled Noah. He sounded mocking as he said, "You've lost me there. I tried to puzzle it out, but it doesn't make sense at all."Why would I want to get my hands on the Reid Consortium's fortune? Even without it, I'm perfectly independent. I don't need it to survive."Gabriel crossed his arms and looked at Noah mockingly. "Or maybe you're different from the rest of us. Maybe you'll die without the Reid Consortium's wealth." He smirked and gave Noah a sharp gaze.Noah raised an eyebrow and smirked. "You're the one making me laugh now. I don't know

Gabriel sounded gentle, but everyone knew that was far from the truth. This was especially true for Noah, who sat across from him. He felt incredibly nervous. He shut his eyes and breathed rapidly.Noah never would've expected to still be in danger after being taken in by the authorities. He frowned and looked up at Gabriel. "So, are you determined to help Darius now?" His voice was shaky, and his eyes were wide because of his nerves.His emotions were clear as he looked at Gabriel. Gabriel bit his lip, feeling like he was about to laugh. To stop Noah from noticing, he quickly exhaled and sat down with one leg over the other. At the same time, he leaned forward to place his hands on the desk.He tapped his fingers on the desk quickly but rhythmically. Gabriel's eyes were devoid of emotion as he looked at Noah. "Tell me, Noah. What happened between you and Darius? Earlier, you said he was the one who injured you. Do you have any proof?"Because we checked the surveillance footage, a
