Chapter 198
Bridget ran to Darius’ side, urging him,
"Mr. Reid, I think you should give Edward another chance because this matter has been plaguing him
for some time now. It's plausible for a girl to fall in love with Edward at first glance and obsess over
making him her boyfriend. However, Edward doesn't even remember meeting this woman's daughter.
He doesn’t even know when they crossed paths! As for the rest of this woman’s accusations about our
workplace relationship, that's false as well!"
Her gaze locked onto Darius’ face, searching for any hint that the latter had changed his mind about
firing Edward. Sadly, there was none.
Even Erin did not know what Darius was planning. She felt his current actions were different from what
she previously thought. Silence filled the space.
However, the surrounding onlookers now stared at Darius with disapproval. They felt he was cruel for
not protecting his employee in that situation.
Little did they know their opinions would soon get proven wrong.
Darius took out a check and handed it to Edward just then. “I think you should set aside some time to
resolve this matter. Here's some money to do so. You can use it for anything, and you don't have to
explain it to me."
Edward did not accept the check.
Instead, his eyes seemed like they were about to pop out of their sockets. He muttered, "B-But, Mr.
Reid, you said I'm unsuited to work at the company.”
Darius nodded. "It's true, but I also despise this woman before you. Which means, I'll allow you to stay
with the company if you can fix this situation." Edward still could not comprehend Darius’ motivations,
but he knew he had a chance to stay by the latter's side as a bodyguard. Thus, he accepted the check.
He parted his lips to speak, but Darius had already approached the middle- aged woman.
“I'm the chairman that Edward mentioned," Darius proclaimed. “Tell me. What do you think now? Am I
rich or poor?"
The woman could tell Darius' clothes were above average, and she had overheard the onlookers’
discussions earlier. Thus, her heart raced with panic.
Nevertheless, she regained her confidence upon recalling her mission. She raised her chin, placed her
hands on her waist, and raised her voice. "Quit trying to fool me! You may look rich based on your
outfit, but I won't believe it! I doubt you can afford an entire set of clothing in this price range."
A hand quickly slapped on the woman's face.
This sudden action caused the woman to stumble to the ground.
She held her cheek, glared at Erin with utter shock, and screamed, "I don't know who you are, how
could you hit me"
Opposite her, Darius stood with his arms crossed, his expression frosty. “I didn't do anything. Yet, you
seem very afraid.
The middle-aged woman sat on the ground with her eyes rounded at Erin. She could feel a burning
sensation on her cheek, which obstructed her ability to think logically. She clambered onto her feet and
glowered at Erin, her tone becoming higher with each word.
"Do you know what you've just done? Do you know who I am? How dare you hit me? Let me tell you
this-you'll have hell to pay for your reckless actions!"
"I'd like to see how much I'll have to compensate you. I wonder if it's as costly as this coat I'm wearing.”
Darius noticed his surroundings, a smile graced his face.
He found it amusing that people were focusing on the unfolding drama. None left to catch their flight,
not even the man that stood near him. The man held a boarding pass, but according to the time written
on it, the flight had long departed the airport.
Despite seeing that, Darius did not bother to inform the man about the missed flight.
Instead, his focus returned to the woman .
"You've caused quite the fuss for a while now. Tell me, what exactly do you hope to get out of this?
Wealth? A contract? Or something else?"
The middle-aged woman did not expect Darius to say that. Her eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Why
would I want to sign a contract with you?
I don't wish to collaborate. I merely want your company to disappear from this world!"
Something clicked in Darius’ mind. "It seems your daughter was once deeply hurt by me."
"T-That's a lie! You're making that up!" The woman panicked.
Again, Darius became devoid of emotion.” I've decided not to give you a chance anymore.”
He straightened his back and approached the woman once more "I thought I was being nice enough to
you, but it’s evident you don't respect nor value my patience.”
The woman's eyes grew wide as fear trickled into her mind. She began shaking her head with
desperation, begging, "N-No! Please!"
Erin made a phone call, wanting to investigate the relationship between Darius, the woman, and the
daughter.
Unfortunately, all she discovered was that the woman downstairs was merely a pitiful cancer patient.
The rest of the woman's information was missing.
That seemed abnormal, she took her outside the airport.
Confusion filled Darius's eyes.
