"He's an excellent professor, and he and Professor Plinsky go back a long way. In fact, if not for that, Professor Kurt wouldn't have agreed to take me in. Because of this, there's nothing to worry about. Professor Kurt won't abandon me, if only because of his friendship with Professor Plinsky. In any case, I called him as soon as I was discharged from the hospital to update him on my recent whereabouts," said Darius.Pearl didn't take her eyes off him. Her gaze was still filled with concern as she asked, "Are you sure he'll help you out with this? I heard your last conversation with him; he didn't seem to like you all that much."Darius felt helpless. "Yes, he will. Have some faith in Professor Plinsky's friend." He glanced at the clock on the wall. "Alright, it's really time for you to go to bed. I have plenty to do tomorrow."Pearl looked guilty again, but she didn't give Darius the time to console her this time. Instead, she turned to head into her room. However, with every step s

Back in the day, many companies had been fighting to get Erin to join them. However, they'd all failed because of one reason or another. And it was because of this that Darius had managed to get her to join him. However, this all changed after Erin realized her feelings for him. She'd started losing her rationality and ability to accurately deduce something, resulting in her making errors in running the company. If she continued like this, she would no longer be indispensable to the company; that wasn't something Darius wanted, and he believed she wouldn't want that either. Darius sighed and pulled his phone out to tell Erin exactly how he felt. Regardless of her shortcomings, she was still an important comrade to him; he would never forget the time she'd spent by his side. Because of this, he was willing to be honest with her so she could make a decision that best fit her situation. She could decide how she wanted to handle their relationship and her future career development.

"I only have one class in the evening, so I'll wait for the doctor to come and only head to campus once he's done with the examination." Pearl beamed at Darius.Darius focused on his food, not meeting her eyes. "Erin will bring the doctor over later; all you need to do is trust them and do whatever they tell you to, no matter how ridiculous it sounds. As for the doctor himself, he's someone I hired specifically for this purpose and is definitely trustworthy. Also, if you have any opinions about Erin, hold them in and wait for me to return to deal with them." With that, he put down his cutlery and stood up. "I know you might not like being instructed to do these things, but trust that I'll give you a reasonable explanation for this once the results are out."Pearl nodded and smiled. "It's fine, Darius. I've known you for some time now and have been by your side this whole while. I know you definitely won't hurt me, and I trust every decision you make." She fixed a resolute gaze on him

The doctor sighed again and said to Pearl, "I'm sorry to say this, but I've already told you everything I can. As for the rest of the information related to this, either I'm not privy to it, or you aren't. You're fortunate enough to be allowed to stay by Mr. Reid's side, so please refrain from asking any more questions." He stood up and hurried out of the villa without a second glance at Erin and Pearl. To his relief, he'd just managed to hail a taxi and was getting in when he saw several black cars speeding toward the villa. The doctor sucked in a breath and urged the taxi driver to put the pedal to the metal. They left before the black cars circled the villa.At this moment, Pearl sat at the dining table, trembling as she stared at Erin, who stood at the villa's entrance. Pearl mustered the courage to move to stand beside her, making Erin smile helplessly. "You can return to your room now. The fact that these people are making such a grand entrance actually guarantees our safety—m

Pearl sagged in relief at Erin's words. "Alright. I'll return to my room now, then." She did indeed feel exhausted from the morning's events, so she went to her room to get some rest.At the same time, in another part of the city, Kingston University welcomed its dean after a long time apart. Henry didn't expect to run into Darius as soon as he stepped foot on campus. He put his hands behind his back and stared at Darius, who stood there with his back to him, looking more like the dean than Henry did. After a few moments, Henry couldn't take it anymore and cleared his throat, saying sternly, "Darius, what are you doing here at this hour? Why are you hanging around the main hall?"Darius raised an eyebrow at this and turned to look at him. "Great timing. I'm here to look for you," he said calmly.In that instant, Henry felt like his fury would suffocate him. Darius' words were a blatant challenge to his authority; he stuck his hands on his hips, looking like the furthest thing from a
