"Hmm. It seems like Byron has no clue about it. Then again, perhaps the intel he received differs from what Grandpa and I know. Byron believes Borisin is dead—meaning his informant must've told him that at the time. Yet, Byron's reaction gives me another angle of examining the situation; he should've been pleased to know Borisin's alive, and his smile should be sincere. However, Byron looks terrified instead of emotional or delighted," Darius mused with his arms crossed. "Indeed, something about Byron doesn't seem right. Still, it's crystal clear that I won't get an answer as to why. After all, Byron and Borisin will never tell me what happened between them. I suppose there's no use wasting more time on these two."With that, Darius dusted his shoulders, crossed his arms again, and leisurely strolled out of the basement. He knew the best way of getting answers was to ask his grandfather. Before Darius could set foot outside of the basement door, a series of anxious footsteps neared hi

"It does sound convenient." Darius nodded before turning the other way to walk ahead, stating, "So, you changed your mind and decided to arrest Byron, huh? Won't that cause you trouble at work?"A smile spread across Borisin's face. Then, he shook his head and cheerily replied, "Don't worry, Darius. That won't happen. I wouldn't be in my current position if Byron were capable enough to mess with my work life."Darius smiled upon hearing that, his hands returning to his back as he headed outside. "Since that's the case, I'll entrust this matter to you. I don't want to see Byron partaking in the Reid family's activities and events ever again."Borisin froze for a moment but quickly grinned. "Okay. That won't be difficult to execute, given his past wrongdoings."The two continued walking forward, their footsteps feeling lighter and unburdened.Meanwhile, two of Borisin's subordinates held Byron's shoulders and forced him to exit the basement. Byron's eyes were red with rage when he heard

Darius retracted his hand and tucked it into his pocket. "Those people out there are unscrupulous businessmen. They must be here because they can reap plenty of benefits from this." He sighed. "They'll do unthinkable things to get what they want—that's even scarier than them pulling anything to save Byron." Before Borisin could ask anything else, Darius saw Bruce racing toward them, gasping for breath. He sighed again and nodded in Bruce's direction. "Look at that. Things must be getting out of control."He walked toward—no, magically appeared before Bruce, who sagged in relief when he saw Darius. Bruce sounded panicked as he said, "Sir, there are people from the two most prominent families out there, and they're causing a ruckus. Since Master James isn't around, you're the next best person to turn to…but I don't know whether you're ready to face the world as the Reid family's heir." His hands twisted together before him, and he frowned, looking concerned.Darius' lips curved upward

Although the woman could not tell whether Darius was the real deal, she couldn't deny he was standing behind the Reid family's gates. She believed he wouldn't have the nerve to lie to them while standing on the Reid family's grounds and being in the presence of the Reid family's members. She frowned and said, "You claim you're the Reid family's heir, right? Since they've allowed you to make such a ridiculous statement, you must be lying on their behalf! Who knows whether you bribed other people into supporting you? Or maybe you planned this long ago!"Darius watched silently as she became so agitated that her spit flew in all directions. When she realized she wasn't receiving a response, she gradually lapsed into silence, not knowing how to proceed. She turned to look at the people standing behind her for help. However, at this moment, Darius spoke. "If I were to give you a million dollars and hire you to lie through your teeth while standing on this side of the gate, would you? Wou

Bruce's gaze was earnest and sincere as he faced Darius, but the people on the other side of the gate couldn't help quaking in their boots. They no longer dared look down their noses at Darius now that Bruce was present. A man who'd silently stood beside the woman who'd spoken suddenly said, "Allow me to apologize for my daughter's impudence." He didn't dare look Darius in the eye as he spoke, focusing his gaze on the ground. He also sounded guilty. "I know it's rude to ask for your forgiveness, but this is the only thing I can do." Without any warning, he fell to his knees on the ground and finally looked up at Darius with tear-filled eyes.Darius frowned at this, looking disgusted. "Having a man look at me like that only makes my stomach churn." The man paled at his words, then put a pitiful expression on. Darius sighed.When Bruce saw this, his gaze turned cold as he said, "Are you trying to challenge the Reid family's authority by putting on such a look at Mr. Reid's words?"Dariu

Darius could tell from the look on Wade's face that the latter was waiting for him to praise him. He shook his head with a smile and stood up. "Well, here's to hoping our collaboration goes well."Wade beamed. "My father said he wants to know more about those black-robed people. Can you provide him with any information in advance?"Darius nodded and walked to his desk. His fingers flew across the keyboard, making Wade's eyes widen. He could swear he'd never seen anyone type so swiftly before, and his jaw slowly dropped without him realizing it. Darius looked up at him when he stopped typing and couldn't help smiling. He didn't comment on this, though, choosing instead to say, "Right, you should have a copy of all the information on your phone now."Wade blurted out, "How'd you know my phone number?"Darius paused, then cocked his head slightly. "It's easy enough for me to get your number. I would've thought it'd be equally easy for you."Wade gaped at him in disbelief. He'd never onc

"As a former member of the Reid family, I'm sure you must've amassed a small fortune for yourself over the years. You may have been away for a while, but I doubt that will affect your chances of survival."Stephen's head shot up at Darius' words. He tried his best to keep his emotions in check, but Darius could still tell he was extremely agitated. In fact, he started to tremble. Darius sighed at this, not wanting to go into detail with him. He waved a hand dismissively and said, "Right, you can leave now. Your father—your biological one—will be here soon, and I'll call you when the time is right." This time, Darius clearly sensed Stephen's gratitude. He glanced at the latter to see the tears in his eyes, and his lips twitched. "Leave—now. I have other matters to attend to."Stephen nodded and slowly left the room. Once he was gone, Darius turned his attention to Bruce and smiled. "Sit, please." Bruce relaxed and sat down. Darius looked at his computer and said, "I didn't expect you

Erin blushed slightly, nodded, and backed out of the room, leaving Darius alone. After changing, he sat on the couch and sighed, feeling a little tired. He massaged his temples and thought about the very first family gathering he was about to attend. No matter what, he didn't want to disgrace the Reid family. The Reid family's reputation would definitely be smeared if he suffered any embarrassment. Darius leaned back and crossed his legs at the knee. At this moment, Bridget returned. She stood outside the room and called out happily, "Sir, I'm back!"Darius raised an eyebrow in surprise and turned to look in the direction of the door. "Come in!" At his words, a pretty face appeared in his line of sight. He smiled at Bridget and said, "You're back sooner than I expected. I thought Bruce's punishment would've kept you confined to your bed for longer."Bridget shook her head. "Of course not. It's not something I haven't experienced before, anyway. Bruce looks fierce but is a softie on t
