Chapter 881

Darius raised an eyebrow. "What new rule?"Rudd was asleep in the back seat. Bridget gave him a pitying look in the rearview mirror, then said, "The university stipulated that students aren't allowed to enter the dormitory after 11 pm and that they're prohibited from drinking."Darius raised an eyebrow in surprise. "I've never heard of these rules before. In any case, they're ridiculous. We, students, will be joining various industries once we graduate, and it's almost a given that drinking will be part of the job—won't we have to wine and dine our clients? If the university doesn't allow us to build up our alcohol tolerance now, how are we going to survive when we start working? It'll be especially tough during our internships." He frowned and pondered this.Bridget nodded. "I agree with you, sir. It's something that I honestly can't understand, but you can't do anything about it—it's the rule. None of the students would have the guts to break the rules; Kingston University's too pow

Edward looked at Darius. "Sir, weren't we supposed to head to the university? Why are we here? Has something bad happened?" He could hear a commotion inside the villa and looked grim.Darius shook his head. "No. Bridget took a wrong turn." Edward nodded, then glanced at the villa hesitantly, wondering whether he should tell Darius about his suspicions. As he pondered this, Darius said calmly, "There's no need to be so hesitant. I can already hear what's going on inside." He sighed and put his hands behind his back. Though his expression hadn't changed much, Edward could tell he wasn't in the best of moods. He stepped back silently.Bridget stepped forward but didn't dare say anything to Darius when she saw him seemingly deep in thought. Instead, she shot Edward a disapproving look and said, "Since you already noticed we were going the wrong way, why didn't you text us to let us know?"Edward's lips twitched. He resisted the urge to smack her upside the head. "Do you even hear yourself

The Evans siblings gulped. Though they didn't think Darius would actually kill them, they couldn't deny that he was more than capable of it. They couldn't take any risks with someone who had the power to end their lives. Iago shot Ursula a disapproving look, making her breathing speed up. This was the straw that broke the camel's back; something inside her snapped, and she threw all caution to the wind. She glared at Darius and screeched, "God, Darius! Why do you refuse to let me off the hook when you're wealthy enough to move into a place like this? What happened to being generous? I honestly wonder where your money's from. Also, do you realize how rude you are? You told me to meet you here, yet I had to waste the whole day waiting for you. I couldn't contact you, nor could I leave. I bet you arranged for someone to keep me here!" As she spoke, she glared at Iago.Darius raised an eyebrow in surprise. He thought Ursula's presence here was Erin's doing, but it appeared that Iago was

They didn't need to look at Ursula to tell what she was thinking and how she felt. Darius looked scornful, as did Bridget. Edward's expression didn't change, but he clenched his fists tightly. He wanted so badly to give her a punch. Darius took in their reactions and sighed inaudibly. It looked like whatever Bruce had done to them while he'd been comatose had profound effects—there were obvious changes in their personalities. Still, he didn't allow his emotions to show. He hadn't forgotten that he needed to deal with Ursula.As Darius' gaze settled on her, Ursula felt her hair stand on end. This disrupted her train of thought, and she raised her head to meet his eyes. She frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? I haven't done anything!"Darius smiled. "Indeed, you haven't." He slowly approached her, making her straighten up and put her hands behind her back. She broke into a cold sweat, feeling oppressed by his powerful aura.Her eyes were filled with terror as she m

"That pisses me off. I think the conversation can end here," said Darius calmly.Ursula shuddered. "I'll get the hell out of here and take them with me if that's what you want!" She was terrified but soon realized this wasn't the end.Almost as soon as her words fell, Darius said, "You can go, but those two have to stay here to apologize to me. One more thing—there was an employee that helped me at the hotel; I don't think they're in for anything good if they remain there, so I'm gonna hire them to work at West Atlantics Int'l."Ursula didn't expect him to humiliate her in front of so many people and even tell her what to do with her staff. He didn't even seem to care that the Evans family was involved in this! Her eyes were filled with rage, and she clenched her fists tightly. "Darius, you can't do this! How can you utterly disregard our feelings and come to a decision on your own?"Darius raised an eyebrow and smirked, but his gaze was cold. "Stop making me laugh." He turned to Bri

Ursula's breathing sped up, and her eyes widened. "Let them go!" she shrieked.Darius gnashed his teeth at the noise. He glanced at Edward without a word; Edward immediately understood what he meant. He clapped a hand over Ursula's mouth and dragged her away. She tried to break free but to no avail. As she disappeared into the basement, Darius felt like peace had been restored. Then, he turned his attention to the couple.They gazed at him in horror, wrapping their arms around each other in an attempt to feel safer. Darius sat on the couch and crossed one leg over the other, looking at them scornfully. "I'll admit that you two are braver than I thought, but you're also a disappointment. I thought you'd do everything you could to protect your precious Ursula, but I was wrong. You didn't do anything aside from shouting." He raised an eyebrow, making them turn pale.They exchanged a look and quickly came to a tacit understanding. They turned back to face Darius, let go of each other, a

The man's eyes widened at the sight of his wife fainting. His face was ashen as he tried and failed to wake her up. He knew he couldn't do anything else and stopped moving, his heaving chest the only sign that he hadn't also passed out. He turned to look at Darius blankly, not knowing what to do.Darius raised an eyebrow and glanced at Bridget, who grabbed the couple and dragged them toward the basement. At this moment, Iago walked toward him with a frown. He twisted his hands as he said, "Mr. Reid, I have something to ask you."Darius nodded and grabbed his phone from the coffee table. However, instead of looking at it, he focused on Iago. "What's wrong? You look like something's bothering you. I hate it when people look at me like that."Iago licked his lips and gulped nervously. "I know you don't like what I'm gonna ask, but I still wanna know—are you really gonna kill them?"Darius shook his head. "No, of course not. I was gonna have your father come over here to bail them out." H

Darius nodded silently, but Erin could tell he was in a better mood than before. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "Since everything here's been taken care of, I'll return to the company now."He frowned and checked the time. "It's really late now. I think you should head home to get some rest."Erin smiled and shook her head. "No, it's fine. I still have plenty of work to do; if I rest now, I'll only have more to do tomorrow."Darius sighed and leaned back. "I know things have been hectic at the company lately, but I've been busy with my admission status. Now that we've lost Zack, there isn't anyone to help you out. I'm sorry that you have to deal with West Atlantics Int'l on your own, but I have to ask you to stick it out for just a little longer. I'll hire someone to help you out as soon as possible."Erin smiled. "Sir, it's fine. I know you're worried, but I don't want this to become something that'll trouble you. Besides, being able to work for you makes me happy. In any case

"If the consequences are too severe, he'll disown Iago. In other words, the Evans family won't do anything to get Iago out of trouble." Erin looked contemptuous. "Bennett was very firm when he said these things; he was in such a rush that he forgot his manners and didn't even let me finish."Darius was surprised by her evident disgust. Throughout their time together, they'd met countless prospective clients. No matter how rude the clients had been or how overboard their requests, Erin hadn't been this contemptuous of them. He narrowed his eyes, looking interested, then regained his composure in the next second. With his eyes on Erin, he waved a hand and said, "Alright, I understand. You can head back to work now; remember to get paid for these extra hours. I'll try to get someone suitable to help lighten your load once this mess is settled. I doubt I'll participate in anything related to West Atlantics Int'l before my internship is over." He could tell Erin was exhausted from running

"Even if your family's on the wealthy side, you shouldn't have abducted my daughter. If she's done something to offend you, you should've had your elders come to me to resolve this," said Bennett irritably. Darius crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame. He smiled faintly, but it didn't reach his eyes. This only angered Bennett more. He took a deep breath, his voice even more severe than before as he growled, "I'll give you one last chance. Release my daughter right now; I can pretend none of this ever happened. If you don't … Well, I'm sure you're aware of the Evans family's prominence and power in Ashweir City!" His eyes gleamed menacingly. "You should know I'm not the type to joke. I'm more than capable of getting rid of a brat like you."Darius shrugged, looking unruffled by his threat. "I know you're not joking, of course. I'd be blind to miss your true emotions—you have zero ability to conceal them. Still, I find it funny that you're bragging to me about how powerfu
