Chapter 219 The Right Decision##“Don’t do things that irk me anymore if you’re that terrified of me. Otherwise, I can’t promise you’ll still be breathing when you leave this place today,” said Darius.Bilgi trembled even more. He looked up and saw Darius smiling, yet the latter did not seem genuinely happy. That only worsened Bilgi’s fear, causing his teeth to chatter from his increased trembling. He knew Darius was not kidding.Getting killed was an outcome Bilgi did not predict for himself, and he was unsure if he could stop Darius from making it a reality. Thus, his knees wobbled like jelly once more, unable to support the weight of his body. His brain then went blank for some time. Only when his knee bashed into the ground, igniting a sharp sensation in his leg, did he finally snap out of his daze. As that happened, Bilgi could not help but let out a shrill that made everyone’s skin crawl. His alert gaze fixed on Darius, yet the latter ignored him and strolled toward the couch

The security guards’ leader panicked. He bowed deeply, explaining, “I’m terribly sorry, Mr. Reid. We wanted to toss him out of the hotel, but the hotel’s previous lobby manager, Samantha Williams, phoned us and gave strict orders not to harm this man. She also told us to set him free.”As the leader spoke, he cautiously eyed Darius before instantly looking down at the ground.Darius had noticed the former’s actions but did not voice his complaints. After all, he knew the security guards had no say in the matter, so they were innocent. He placed both hands on his hips, sighing. “So, as the head of security, you should be able to make your own judgments.”The leader could not help but tremble just then. He could sense the aggression behind Darius’ words and felt he had made the wrong decision earlier, endangering his current position. There was nothing else he could do except appease Darius so he could keep his job in the long run.“All right, Mr. Reid. I know what I have to do,” he s

、Chapter 221 Frightened##Alicia now looked like a strong career woman. Darius locked eyes with her and was about to speak, but she suddenly ran in his direction. It sparked a grin across Darius’ face as he knew Alicia was still the same, innocent girl at heart. As he stood there and stared at her, his clenched jaw loosened.All the while, Erin stood next to him. She paid attention to his shifting expressions, bitter disappointment forming in her heart. Yet, Erin did not verbalize her feelings or show them on her face. She knew such things would often occur in the future, especially if she wanted to stay beside Darius as more than his secretary. She needed to get used to him being popular among women.Regardless, Darius did not have the slightest idea of what Erin was thinking, and neither did Alicia.At that moment, Alicia had arrived before Darius and was formally bowing to greet him and Erin. “Thank you, Mr. Reid and Miss Erin. I don’t know what kind of life I’d be living now if

A sigh slipped out Darius’ lips when he saw Erin behaving that way. He reached over to press the autonomous driving function before speaking up. “You need to calm down and park the car along the road. We’ll continue this conversation then.”Erin began taking many deep breaths.After she parked the car, Darius continued, “The mistakes you’ve made today aren’t because you messed up—it’s because your mentality has changed. You’ve become more arrogant, thinking we can use money as a crutch to do many things because we’re rich now.”In under a second, Erin’s eyes looked like they were about to pop out. She turned to look at Darius, a whoosh sounding from her sudden movement. Her widened eyes soon met Darius’ blank ones. She could not deny that Darius was right, and that this mentality was a mistake that she never realized she was making. Before she could respond, a loud bang sounded. Their car violently jolted forward and began driving on its own. There was nothing Erin could do to stop

You’re saying I’m not wealthy? Do you see this shirt I’m wearing? It’s by a small designer from Ioblia, worth 3 million dollars. I’m 28 this year, and it’s the first time I’ve been called poor. Honestly, your accusation is hilarious. Everyone in Almiron City knows me because I’m a member of the Gillette family!”While speaking, the man cockily jutted his chin at Erin. He could already picture Erin groveling at his feet for forgiveness. Should that happen, he was more than ready to claim her as one of his women.Yet, that did not happen, much to his dismay.Erin merely stood there with her eyes wide. “The Gillette family?” she said before letting out a frosty chuckle. “Oh, I know all about that family—they’re filthy rich.”A smirk curled on the man’s face.However, it quickly vanished as Erin placed her hands on her hips. She thundered, “I’ve heard plenty about that family, like how they used improper means to acquire massive wealth. Likewise, I know they’ve continued to utilize unscr

“Darius!” Erin’s amplified cries filled the air. Then, she heard Thomas muttering a curse, which sent a chill down her spine. She did not dare stand and see what had happened to Darius. Instead, she remained frozen on the ground.“I’m so sorry, Mr. Reid. I got here too late,” a familiar voice suddenly spoke.“Bridget!” Erin thought, rising to her feet at an inhumanly fast rate. She then looked over the newly arrived car next to her, where a woman got out from the other side. Pressing her aching chest, Erin stumbled onto the ground again. Her legs had given in, and her mind went blank. All her body could do was breathe at that point.On the other hand, Bridget saw Erin from afar and wanted to speak with her. Before she could, she saw Erin collapse onto the ground. Bridget assumed Erin had gotten hurt, so she dashed over to Darius, stopping before him briefly to bow. “Mr. Reid.”While she had not risen from her bow, her eyes continued to examine the other side of the car for Erin.Seei

Following the navigation system’s direction, Darius drove Bridget and Erin to the location of the banquet.Sometime later, Erin finished fixing her makeup in the backseat. She felt awful for letting Darius, her boss, drive them all to the event, so she cleared her throat twice to speak. “Mr. Reid, based on my investigation, the banquet will occur at a location that the Gillettes are familiar with—Remnard Estate, their family home. According to tradition, their family gathers in that estate for significant events throughout the year. Earlier, when we encountered Thomas Gillette, I searched for photos of the Gillette family’s events online and did not see him in any of them. Thus, I firmly believe that man has ulterior motives. Not to mention, it’s quite an uncanny coincidence that he’s showing up now. The Gillettes have always been arrogant. The family’s focus isn’t on their money. Instead, the Gillettes are more concerned with whoever poses a potential threat to them. It’s always bee

Darius could tell Erin was still nervous. Even so, he no longer criticized her opinions nor spoke anymore. All he did was drive in silence.Stifled by the sudden tension, Bridget regretted riding shotgun just then. She complained in her heart, “No wonder Edward refused to join us!”Pin-drop silence filled the car. Such a void was something Bridget had never experienced before, so it suffocated her. She opened her mouth but then kept quiet out of fear, giving up after failing to speak a few times. Not wanting to focus on the awkwardness any longer, Bridget decided it was better to look through the map on her phone instead. That way, she could concentrate on ensuring Darius’ safety.When she scanned every last detail on the map, she felt the car slow down.Numerous expensive cars had parked in the space ahead. Yet, none cost nearly as much as the car Darius drove. Thus, when he arrived at the road before Remnard Estate, everyone halted in their tracks, eyes glued onto his pricey vehicl
