Of course, as an ordinary human, Christian felt very annoyed with what Kairos had done. Similarly, when the issue was discussed by Dorian, he became uncomfortable hearing about it.Dorian noticed the change in Mr. Demetri’s facial expression, and he started to feel anxious.“I sincerely apologize on behalf of the Ashford family. What my brother did was completely beyond the bounds of decency. But I promise to punish him when he recovers,” Dorian said, attempting to make Mr. Demetri willing to forgive.Christian then smiled, nodding his head at Dorian.The man successfully suppressed his anger and frustration. He could still think clearly and considered his resentment towards Dorian and the Ashford family unjustified.“You don’t need to apologize. All these issues were resolved last night. Now, let’s discuss something else,” Christian said.Dorian nodded. He felt relieved that his apology was accepted by Mr. Demetri.“Thank you very much, Mr. Demetri, for generously forgiving me,” Dori
Dorian nodded in response to what the man said, maintaining his seated position.Upon closer inspection, there was not a hint of respect given to the two shareholders of Metropolitan News. However, both of them didn’t seem bothered by it and could still manage a wide smile.They took their seats in front of Dorian.“It’s an honor for me to be at the same table as someone like you. It’s something to be proud of,” said the man in a brown suit, who appeared older than the one resembling Dr. Strange but was actually five years younger.Dorian straightened up with a serious expression.“I won’t beat around the bush. I’m not here to express condolences for the deaths of those two scoundrels. They deserved to be in hell!” Dorian said, his tone piercing the two owners of Metropolitan News.Unable to respond after Dorian’s words, the two became awkward and hesitant in their actions.Their behavior was strange, considering they had prepared a sniper to eliminate Dorian if he posed any threat to
Perhaps the plan devised by the man in the brown suit was excellent for both of them. However, they were unaware that Dorian never went anywhere alone. He was always accompanied by a minimum of 4 people with one car. But in the current situation, Dorian could be escorted by more than 4 cars and 20 people.Just see what he could do! Even if he could accomplish it, it wouldn’t ensure his safety or control over the entire shares of Metropolitan News. There was still Darrell who could acquire the shares desired by Christian more easily as it was his advantage.The man in the brown jacket immediately contacted some of his subordinates to prepare the cars.“I want you to crash into the car with Dorian Ashford inside. I want him dead or at least severely injured in that collision!” shouted the man in the brown suit.“How am I supposed to know which car he’s in? In New York, there are millions of cars roaming the city streets every minute. How can I find him?” asked a man at the other end of
His face looked so anxious after hearing Christian ask him to come to the room. His instincts told him that something unpleasant was about to happen, but he didn’t know what.Alex, Kenji, and two others near Darrell were puzzled by the expression shown by their boss.“Is there a problem, Boss? Is something serious happening?” Alex asked.Darrell shook his head, saying, “I’m not sure exactly, but I feel like something serious is about to happen soon.”“Is this about Mr. Demetri?” Kenji asked.Darrell nodded.Instantly, everyone there felt uneasy. They knew that any issue involving Mr. Demetri was always significant and dangerous.“But I still don’t know what. So, I can’t tell you yet. But I’m asking you to be prepared!” Darrell said.The four people there nodded.Darrell then walked straight to Mr. Demetri’s room.As usual, after knocking on the door, Darrell entered the room after the door was unlocked by Christian using his smartphone.When Darrell entered the room, Mr. Demetri was s
Although he felt touched by Christian’s request to help expedite the process of legitimizing the inheritance rights, Darrell still believed that he had to protect Mr. Demetri from something far more dangerous if they made a wrong decision.“Mr. Demetri, I understand what you’ve said. Actually, I share similar concerns with you, sir. But in this matter, we cannot rush into a decision. I promise you to find a solution as quickly as possible so that we can move and secure Mr. Demetri’s position as the main heir to the family wealth,” Darrell said with a sincere tone and expression.Christian nodded. He didn’t want to continue this discussion because, according to him, it meant Darrell and his men would soon be on the move.“I will send someone to Canada to monitor the situation there. So, once we know the actual conditions in Canada, we can formulate what needs to be done. We can’t make decisions hastily because Reginald Demetri is someone very clever and meticulous,” Darrell continued.
Darrell realized that Dorian was angry and extremely displeased with what John had done by killing that person.Therefore, Darrell quickly ended his voice call with John to explain what had actually happened to Dorian.“Update me on the developments later!” Darrell exclaimed before ending the voice call.After ending the call, Darrell looked into Dorian’s eyes, who as awaiting a response.“Mr. Dorian, I understand that you feel disappointed and upset hearing the news that John has killed that person. But it needs to be known that what John did was in accordance with my earlier instructions. I said it’s better to kill him if he resists, rather than causing trouble later,” Darrell explained.Dorian’s body was still filled with anger. He didn’t say anything to respond to Darrell’s words.“With the death of that man, there is now only one official shareholder of Metropolitan News. So, it seems easier to acquire the shares desired by Mr. Demetri,” Darrell continued, but his gaze was direct
Darrell was furious because he believed that with only Blilian as the sole owner of Metropolitan News company shares, the distribution of shares to Mr. Demetri was very minimal, not in proportion to what should be rightfully obtained.Blilian trembled as he saw Darrell’s angry figure. It wasn’t just Blilian who felt fear, but also the lawyer and notary brought by Blilian were equally terrified.In their minds, there was regret for joining Blilian there if, in fact, Darrell was part of the meeting.“W-what do you mean, Mr. Darrell? What makes Mr. Darrell object? Wasn’t the distribution according to what Mr. Dorian requested?” Blilian asked with a trembling voice, trying to contain his fear.With glaring eyes, Darrell said, “You said 70% of the shares are given to Mr. Dorian, whereas, in reality, the shares are for the Protector. If the distribution is like that, it means you have a higher value of shares than before. How can you take advantage of this situation? Do you think you’re doi
Dorian was surprised by the demeanor of the man facing the window in the room. However, he soon realized that the man was not in a good mood. It was evident from Christian’s face that he was dealing with a lot of problems, which is why Dorian didn’t protest and simply followed Christian’s lead.Then, Christian turned his body to face Dorian. He spoke, “I want to ask for your help, if you don’t mind.”“What kind of help, Mr. Demetri? If it’s possible, I’ll assist you,” Dorian inquired.“I need you to help me deliver this file to my wife. But please tell her that the gift is from the Protector. Don’t let her know that it’s from me,” Christian requested.Hearing that Christian’s request was quite straightforward, Dorian immediately agreed to it.“All right, Mr. Demetri, I’ll deliver this file to your wife and keep it a secret,” Dorian said.Christian smiled. He saw sincerity in every word Dorian uttered, not just now but also when they first met again, during Kairos’s apology.“You are a
