"What right do you have to take the helicopter?" Bennett bellowed so loudly everyone in the manor's vicinity could hear him.Darius frowned, looking irritated. "He took my helicopter; I should be the one asking that question, not you. What right do you have to question the usage of my helicopter?" He slowly approached Bennett, who stiffened.His eyes widened in disbelief as he croaked, "What? The brat took your helicopter?" He looked even more furious as he glared at Iago and yelled, "Do you even realize who you are? Do you know about the conflict between Darius and me? How dare you swear your allegiance to him! Are you trying to say that you want to sever ties with me, your father?" Bennett sounded tortured as if he was genuinely hurt by the prospect of losing his son.Darius rolled his eyes, then turned to look at Iago. "I'll be upstairs, so you can come look for me if you need me. Otherwise, you should leave this place as soon as possible. Something about this place doesn't bode we
At this moment, Iago heard Darius say from upstairs, "Come on, you've already wasted too much time on him, which is something we're running short on. Deal with him as quickly as possible to get your shares. We need to leave soon." He slowly walked down the stairs.Iago sighed and looked at Bennett. In that instant, Bennett sensed his murderous intent, making him panic. He widened his eyes at Darius, shaking his head as he cried, "No, you can't do this to me! I'm Iago's father! How can you kill me over something as trivial as money? People are going to criticize and point fingers at you for this!"Darius raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I care about that?" He couldn't help looking scornful as he recalled what Bennett had done earlier. "Besides, if you could shout at your daughter's dead body, why would you care what people think of us?" With that, he turned to leave. As he walked, he said lazily, "Hurry up. My time and patience are limited; I would've dealt with him long ago if not fo
Darius' smile made him seem cheery and relaxed. At least, that was what Iago thought. He sighed and said, "Sir, this is my last time addressing you like this in public. I hope we can work together one last time."Darius raised an eyebrow in surprise. "You want me to be there for the Evans family's board and family meeting so that you can successfully take over as the head of the family and president of the company?"Iago nodded earnestly. "Yeah. I'm not capable enough, nor do I have enough experience. If I want to successfully take over as president of the Evans Consortium and head of the Evans family, I'll need an external power to help me. I won't find anyone like that in the Evans Consortium or Evans family; you're the only one I can think of. Maybe this also points to what a failure I am." He lowered his head, looking gloomy. "I've been stuck in my world over the years and have made many mistakes. Now, your presence in my life has helped to lead me back onto the right path."Dari
Iago laughed at Darius' words. They boarded the helicopter. Ten minutes later, the Evans Consortium's building came into view. Iago sighed in relief and smiled. "This is where my mother first met Bennett, and it's also where she ended her short and tragic life. From then on, I swore to myself that I had to have the Evans family under my control! Now, I've finally done it. I won't allow those who once harmed me and my mother to get away with the things they've done."Darius nodded. "That's fine and dandy, but I don't particularly care. All I wanna know is what I can get out of this after putting in so much effort.""You'll get the Evans family." Iago looked at him seriously. "Don't think I'm speaking without thinking. I mean every word I say right now; they come from the heart. I'm uninterested in managing the Evans family and Evans Consortium. If not for the vow I made before my mother's grave to make the members of the Evans family pay for everything they'd done, I wouldn't have both
Allowing Darius to become one of the Evans Consortium's board members was something the other board members had agreed upon after a lengthy discussion. However, none of them would've expected that the thought hadn't even occurred to him. Now, however, thanks to their reminder, he seemed ready to become a board member. Everyone's eyes widened, looking mad at themselves for making such a mistake. What happened next was what they'd expected.Darius smiled and said, "Since you're ready for me to join the board, it'd be rude to keep objecting. After all, I'm younger than all the existing board members … though my ability is what matters, not my age." No one said anything in response to that. He tucked his hands in his pockets and raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Aren't you guys coming into the elevator? I hate it when people are late for meetings."His voice was light and cheery; no one could say there was anything wrong with it. Darius crossed his arms and continued, "Anyway, I've held
"Of course, even if you disagree, I have plenty of ways to make you agree. I just don't think any of you would enjoy being subject to my methods." Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled. "I don't think I'm wrong to say that." He turned to Iago, who nodded vigorously. Then, he turned back to look at the board members. "So, do you have anything else to say?""You may own 20 percent of the Evans Consortium's shares, but there wasn't any announcement about it! None of us know about that!""Why the rush?" Darius clucked his tongue. "I was gonna get to it someday."One of the board members looked positively murderous. "We're doubtful of how you came to own the shares and ask that you don't join the board of directors and enjoy the rights that come with it."At this moment, Iago asked, "Are there any questions about the 52 percent that I own?" He glared at the board members. Darius raised an eyebrow silently, smiling as he swept a glance over the board members. He leaned back and exhaled, know
"In fact, I didn't expect to see most of them in the near future. Yet, they're all at the manor now! I honestly didn't expect that," Iago said.Darius rolled his eyes. "If that's the case, I'll be kind till the end and take you home!" He got into the car with a sigh; they weren't taking the helicopter this time. When the engine started, he shut his eyes. When Iago saw him resting, he zipped his lips and stayed quiet. The journey was made in silence. Before long, they arrived at the Evans family's manor. In that instant, they were surrounded by clamoring people.Darius frowned and slowly opened his eyes to see several well-dressed men and women standing in the front yard. He exhaled heavily and said with displeasure, "They've turned a perfectly wonderful garden into a flea market." He opened the door and got out; the crowd swarmed around him.A woman exclaimed, "You must be Iago! Honestly, you look like a handsome fellow; why would you do such foolish things? Whoever allowed you to be
Darius stood before them with his hands tucked in his pockets, looking relaxed. Iago stood by the car and gave him a thumbs-up, looking at him with his eyes lit up. He'd never met anyone like Darius who could play everyone present with a few sentences. Even if he were to just stand there without saying anything, he could attract everyone's attention. Iago couldn't take his eyes off Darius.Darius exhaled and smiled. "Now that we've taken care of that, I'll hand things over to your new head of family and make myself scarce. I'm sure he has many things to say, so I'll be waiting in the room. I hope you guys can have a good discussion and come up with a satisfactory result. I'm waiting to attend the feast to celebrate the appointment of your new head of family, you know." With that, he turned and headed into the manor, looking more at ease than any of the members of the Evans family gaping at him.Iago crossed his arms silently and smiled scornfully at the crowd. He waited until Darius
