Getting that question made Darrell confused about how to answer it.Honestly, Demetri, whoever he was, was someone Darrell couldn’t touch, no matter what.And as for Reginald, to Darrell, it was like climbing a steep rocky mountain without safety ropes.“To be honest, the one who can turn the tables is Mr. Demetri himself. Even though you will take over the Demetri Family in the near future, it can’t be said to be easy. Mr. Reginald will resist you sooner or later. Therefore, you must have the ability to protect yourself and build your image as soon as possible. With that, you will gain support from the other Demetri Family members,” Darrell said.“Is that the only way?” Christian asked.“Yes, of course. Only by building your image and gaining support from the family can you defeat him,” Darrell replied.After thinking it over, Darrell’s words seemed to be right. With the support of the Demetri family, Reginald wouldn’t be able to do much. Especially if Carlos Demetri announced his he
Christian yanked Belinda’s arm quite forcefully and led her out of the office.“Shh... can you do it a bit more quietly? What if everyone finds out about this?” Christian asked, his voice strained, and his eyes bulging.Belinda wasn’t scared, despite seeing Christian angry, unlike their first encounter at the Bluemoon Club, where Belinda had him begging.But here, she felt challenged by Christian.“Why should people find out? We did live through that past. Even though I know it didn’t end happily, facts can’t be discarded so easily,” Belinda said, staring into Christian’s eyes.“Nevertheless, I want you to keep your mouth shut. Or I’ll force you to do it! Don’t play games with me!” Christian warned, his words carrying a threat.There was an implied threat in the man’s words, but Belinda remained unafraid.She saw an opportunity here to gain control over Christian, which could lead to personal gain.“I think if someone wants something, they have to pay for it. That’s just common sense,
Christian was taken aback when he heard Belinda asking for so much money.“Are you crazy? Is that much money just to make you keep quiet?” Christian asked.Belinda nodded her head and said, “If you want to, give it to me. But if you don’t want to, then don’t give it to me. It’s as simple as that.”Christian shook his head. He couldn’t give Belinda that much money.“I won’t give you that money!” Christian exclaimed, then walked out of his wife’s office.Yve was checking her phone when Christian arrived.“Let’s go; we’re leaving!” Christian said.“Where were you? You took so long,” Yve asked, putting her phone back into her bag.Christian was unsure of how to respond. Suddenly, Belinda’s voice came from behind, “That’s right, Miss. Earlier, Mr. Christian was asking me questions.”Christian immediately turned around and stared at Belinda.However, the woman just smiled and appeared unfazed by Christian’s anger.“Oh, what was he asking about?” Yve inquired.Belinda was about to speak, but
Mateusz tapped Donilok on the shoulder and said, “We should sit down.”Both men then took their seats next to each other. Yve and Christian also joined them.Yve made an effort to be polite and show her respect to Mateusz, despite his higher social status. “You tend to be too brutally honest and speak your mind without considering other people’s feelings. Even though Yve’s husband is only responsible for cleaning the house, you shouldn’t say that in public like this. You could hurt his self-esteem and dignity,” Mateusz advised.Donilok shrugged and replied, “I’m just stating the truth. Is that wrong?”“The truth, even if bitter, should be accepted. In reality, if Yve could be happier with you because you’re a member of the Kowalska family, I think everyone would agree, including Yve and Christian,” Donilok continued.Mateusz leaned back in his chair, his right hand on the table, playfully tapping his fingers on the dining table with a smile.“Yes... in terms of the truth, what you sa
Christian couldn’t control his emotions. That old motorcycle wasn’t just a means of transportation to him; it was like a part of his soul. He had gone through all sorts of situations with the motorcycle, most of which were bitter, creating an emotional bond with it.Therefore, he was furious when he found his motorcycle in such a wrecked state, and the person who should have been looking after it was acting foolish.“Wes... what’s going on here? Playing rough, are we?” asked the parking attendant, raising both of his hands.Without saying much, Christian slammed the man with a single move.Thud!The parking attendant hit the asphalt with his back, leaving him struggling to breathe.“You’re responsible for the parking area. It’s impossible for you not to know what happened. So, now you better tell me who damaged my bike. Or else, I will beat it out of you!” Christian yelled with a restrained voice.Yve pulled Christian’s arm, trying to calm him down.“Christian, calm down, don’t resort
Mateusz indeed had a quick temper. He didn’t hesitate to raise his voice with his sister, Zofia.Zofia shook her head and said, “I’m not underestimating you, but I don’t want you to take over the procurement of the new machines because I don’t want the incidents of the past to happen again. Instead of benefiting the company, you’re taking money that makes the company incur losses.”Mateusz quickly thought of a way to refute what Zofia said to make his actions seem reasonable.“Well, I’m not embezzling or corrupting. I’m just taking my rightful payment because I’ve handled all the necessary work from start to finish. Is it unreasonable for me to ask for payment? You also hold the position of the CEO of Kowalska, and you get a salary, right?” Mateusz retorted, not wanting to be blamed.Zofia said, “If you took it at a reasonable value, I wouldn’t have an issue with it. But in the last two projects, you took nearly half of the project’s value. That’s not a payment; it’s corruption.”Mate
Zofia was extremely annoyed with her younger brother, who had accused her of various things about Christian’s life in front of their team at ChrisCrafter Ltd..“Mateusz, I’ll remind you once again to watch your words. Mr. Demetri is responsible for the project and leads ChrisCrafter Ltd. in US. Accusing me of having a special relationship with him is the same as accusing Mr. Demetri of infidelity,” Zofia said in a raised voice.When Zofia explained Christian’s position, Mateusz was instantly surprised. He didn’t expect that the useless man who had earned the title of the De Delta Family’s son-in-law could be in charge of the project and lead ChrisCrafter Ltd..“What? That useless guy is in charge of the project? Are you sure you’re not mistaken, Sis?” Mateusz asked with wide eyes and an open mouth due to his shock.Zofia shook her head and said, “I’m definitely not mistaken. Mr. Demetri is in charge of the project. So, I hope you can treat him with respect.”Christian, who had been si
Mateusz leaned his face towards Harold. Then he whispered to the middle-aged man.It was apparent from the movement of his lips that Mateusz was speaking slowly. It seemed like he wanted every word he spoke to be understood by Harold.The man’s facial expression immediately changed, as if he had just received significant news. Both his eyes and mouth widened.“Just like that, and you’ll get 100 million from me. So, what do you say? If you don’t want it, I can find someone else,” Mateusz asked with a mysterious smile on his face.Harold didn’t immediately answer the question, but instead, he thought for a moment. The job offered by Mateusz carried very high risks, but it was commensurate with the amount of money offered.“That’s a lot of money, you know. It would take you about 2 years to earn that if you don’t spend a dime of your monthly salary here,” Mateusz said, persuading.Money is something hard to resist, especially with such a large sum.And now, Harold felt the irresistible a
