Ultimately, Ursula was the first to give in. She stretched her arms out in an effort to stop Darius from approaching her and the officer. Then, she took a deep breath and said anxiously, "I didn't intend for things to turn out this way. I apologize for everything that's happened so far, and I admit I've been taking a tough stance to threaten you into doing things my way, but you have to acknowledge that this hasn't done me any good. On the contrary, it's only put me in more danger! I felt aggrieved, which is why I devised this plan. I didn't expect it to fail so spectacularly; we didn't manage to achieve any of our goals. As for your location, we truly got it from a private investigator." She looked at Darius guiltily. "I know it wasn't right of us to do this. I tried my best to talk myself out of it, but my selfishness won out in the end."On the other hand, the officer put his hands behind his back and watched her worriedly. Darius smiled mockingly at this. "I remember making mysel

His eyes carried a hint of warning, but his tone was light as he said to Ursula, "Remember to transfer the money for the car to my account. With your ability, I'm sure you'd be able to find out what my account number is. If you can't, you can just write a check and have it delivered to the Reid family." With that, Darius put the pedal to the metal and sped away, leaving Ursula and the officer coughing from the dust and exhaust fumes.In the car, Darius looked murderous. He'd never been this angry before; it felt like his day had been wasted on freaks. He took a deep breath, shut his eyes, and pressed the bridge of his nose. Now, the only thing he could feel thankful for was the fact that he'd gotten rid of Ursula. At this thought, he frowned and turned to look at the window she'd tried to jump out of—the frame was out of shape. Darius sighed. He'd be lying if he said it didn't bother him, but compared to that, he was more interested in the Evans family. He'd heard of it before and

Darius smiled at her, his admiration apparent. Darcy returned his smile, saying, "I didn't expect you to remember me." At the same time, she waved the broom she was holding around.Darius shook his head helplessly and stood up. "I remember asking my people to look into you. The fact that you got accepted by Kingston University despite coming from a poor family is enough to show that you must be a stellar student. I found it weird that my people couldn't find you on campus." He gave her a curious look.Darcy's smile was still in place as she shook her head. "Thank you for everything you've done for me, Mr. Reid. I honestly don't mind working as a janitor—it's what I was doing before meeting you. I've never dreamed of doing anything else; I've never even imagined being able to return to university. Life's already good enough for me now that there's enough money to pay for my brother's medical bills."Darius sensed her smile was bitter but genuine. Darcy had some regrets but was generall

Since then, they'd braved many dangers together. Zack's company had also gone from being on the verge of bankruptcy to officially being a member of the Reid Consortium. Darius had done his best to protect the livelihoods of many families, which was something most companies would find hard and even impossible. Still, Darius had managed it. This was why Erin couldn’t understand what sort of conditions would’ve been enticing enough to attract Zack to betray Darius for another company.Darius had long since been mentally prepared for Zack’s betrayal. He nodded. "It’s fine. After all, he only joined us when he was backed into a corner. Nothing he did, under those circumstances, would be out of the ordinary. Perhaps joining me was never something he wanted or wished for. Now that he has the means to leave, it’s only normal for him to make such a decision. Of course, it’s also possible that he could’ve been threatened or something along those lines. Save your sorrow and sadness for another

"After all, she'd been through so many boyfriends because she only wanted to experience the freedom of choosing to date whoever she liked. Or rather, she just wanted to be with someone who made her happy. All you have to do is go along with everything she wants. Women like her move from relationship to relationship quickly and easily; the fact that you can't make her fall for you means that you need to reconsider what you're doing wrong, not go after the men that she likes." Darius shook his head and stroked his jaw. He looked the man in the eye and said, "I've already told you everything you need to know, and you can easily verify whether I'm telling the truth by watching the video." As he spoke, he patted the man on the shoulder. "My heart goes out to you, my man. That's why I'm telling you all of this. If anyone else were in this situation, I wouldn't bother saying a thing to them.""Why?" the man mumbled.Darius smiled meaningfully. "Because I think we're in the same situation. W

Darius put his hands behind his back and raised an eyebrow, looking baffled. "Uh … correct me if I'm wrong, but Ursula isn't the woman you love, right?""What? No, of course not!" To Darius' surprise, the man shook his head so vigorously that Darius could practically feel the wind he was causing. "No, no, no! I would never! There are plenty of women in the Evans family; even their most influential member is a woman! I'd have plenty of choices if I wanted to pick one of them for myself. Why would I go for Ursula?" He gave Darius a bewildered look. Then, he pouted and said, "I don't understand why you would say that. There are countless people on this earth. Why would I fall for Ursula? Any other woman would be better than her!"Darius could tell the man wasn't kidding. His lips twitched as he wondered what Ursula had done to make everyone get mad at the mention of her name. He reached upward to place his hand on the man's shoulder, then said, "West Atlantics Int'l welcomes you. I hope

"I need to let the whole world know about their crimes. I want them to make headlines everywhere! Otherwise, I won't be able to rest in peace!" The man's voice was resolute. He turned to Darius. "I didn't know how to feel when you invited me to join the Reid Consortium. I have too many concerns; I feel like the things I'm about to do will drag you down with me."Darius raised an eyebrow. "You still agreed to it, though."The man smiled, but it didn't meet his eyes. "The devil got to me in that instant. He told me wealthy people like yourself were heartless, that you were all disgusting and evil people. Your fortune was built from the flesh of the poor, that it was stolen from those who actually did the work for it!" His voice grew increasingly louder toward the end of the sentence, and he trembled with agitation.Darius sensed the passers-by giving him disapproving looks, making his lips twitch. He straightened up, tucked his hands into his pockets, and said, "Alright, then. You can c

Darius turned to look at the people involved in the argument. He had a complicated expression on his face when he heard the entirety of it. The employee who'd served him earlier was extremely kind but was a little bit of a pushover because he'd grown up in squalor. Of course, this wasn't what his personality was originally like. He'd only learned to keep his silence because he couldn't afford to get into arguments with others.Darius' heart raced when he learned this. Once upon a time, he'd been exactly like this employee. However, he'd been fortunate enough to have been reunited with his family when he was at his lowest.At the very least, he knew he hadn't been abandoned, that his squalor had been happenstance due to a series of unfortunate events. He sighed. He'd intended on leaving this place without getting involved in anything, but he knew he wouldn't be able to ignore this.Darius turned around and headed toward the quarreling people. "It's unbecoming of a hotel's employees to
