Philip couldn't have ever imagined that he would be the one being blamed for what was going in in the company. He looked at his father with a dumbfounded expression."What is happening right now is not my fault in any way." Philip denied with visible anger rising from within him. "You were the one who made the deal with Carla's family and convinced me that I should take what I want when I want it." He growled at his father angrily."That didn't mean you should slack off in your responsibility!" Mr Churchill snapped back."Slack off?" Philip muttered with a bitter smile. "When you said you were going to look into Darius what did you expect me to do? I should have joined in the investigation when you said you had your best guys doing the same thing? What would my involvement have changed?" He asked."There's no way we'd know now right?" Mr Churchill replied. "Since you never made any effort then we can't say that this is the result of your efforts or not. In the end, there's nothing to
"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
Darius cooled his mood when he realised that he was starting to scare Lord Regis."Sorry if that scared you. I should be taking my leave now." Darius said."Oh you don't have to be sorry about that." Lord Regis tried to laugh it off but it only came out as a dry chuckle. "I was just wondering who those people who had made you so angry were." He said dismissively."I'd rather not talk about them right now." Darius said with a hint of coldness in his tone. He tried to force a smile. "You haven't replied though." He reminded Lord Regis."Ah ah! Mr Darius, what can I do? Since you've said you just want to deal with some nasty people for what they did to you I can just stand by and watch. You are free to do as you please." Lord Regis said as he chose his words very carefully.It's not like he could actually stop Darius when Darius started to carry out his revenge. Darius was definitely someone he couldn't mess with."That's a good answer Lord Regis." Darius replied in acknowledgement. "I w
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 met with different people that night and all of them were important figures in the city. No matter who they were, all of them showed respect to Darius when they became aware of who he was.However, there were people that he avoided and concealed his identity from. He had told all the people she had introduced himself to that they should keep his identity anonymous. He didn't allow Lord Regis and Alicia to lead him to meeting people that he want interested in meeting."We should share a drink sometime." Darius said to Alicia who had drained the last of her energy by dragging Darius about."You miss me that much?" Alicia licked her lips enticingly as she sipped on some strong whiskey. "I've been really busy, but since you're asking, I guess I'll drop by. Besides, I'm very interested in what you've been up to." She said with a wink.She knew about Darius's plan for revenge and the strange thing was that Alicia was fascinated by it. It wasn't just personal, it was because she could
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
Darius had quite a list of offenders.The people who had wronged him at one point or the other were all visited one by one by Darius. He dealt with all of them in different ways. But Maxwell couldn't help but realise that Darius was quite merciful. Even though Darius had said he wanted to take revenge, all Maxwell could attribute Darius' actions to was that they were light punishments when compared to what they had done to Darius.As Darius went about to visit his backstabbers, there was something he didn't forget to tell each and every one of them."You must not let anyone know of who I am, especially Mr Churchill who owns Ladrak Company. You'll be dead if I find out that you let any information slip." Darius had threatened seriously.Of course, they all readily agreed to keep their mouths shut after they understood that Darius had now become really powerful.Darius didn't tell them to keep it a secret because he was scared of Mr Churchill. No, he just wanted to still remain a myster
"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
