With that said, he turned to Erin. "It's been a while now. I think we've been standing here for at least
half an hour. It’s probably time for you to give me an update."
Erin's fingers paused on the keyboard. She turned to look at Darius, then smiled and nodded. "Yes, sir.
We can see some results now." As she spoke, she turned the laptop to face him. "Mr. Reid, as you can
see, we already have 10 percent of Umbrite Hotel's shares. Our business partners provide 8 percent,
and the remaining 2 percent is from the share market.
Now, we're the fifth largest shareholder. I’ve already contacted the third and fourth largest, and as long
as they hand over their shares totaling 35 percent, we'll own 45 percent of this hotel. That will make us
the largest shareholder."
When she got to the end of her report, her gaze went from Darius to the lobby manager, and she
smiled.
Darius nodded. "That's about as good as we can get. Continue working on it."
Erin nodded, but she didn't do as he said. Instead of turning back to her laptop, she kept her eyes on
the lobby manager.
‘This woman, the lobby manager, is called Samantha Williams. She got the job because her father-our
business partner owns 8 percent of the hotel's shares."
The people hiding in the corners poked their heads out again to look at Samantha in surprise.
"I always thought she was arrogant because of her abilities or contributions to the hotel."
"Right? Turns out she knows nothing. She only got the job because her dad's rich!"
‘This is completely different from what she told us!"
Their voices weren't loud, but the silence in the lobby still made their words audible. Darius and the
gang were the only guests in the lobby at the moment.
Samantha didn't expect the truth about her identity to be exposed like this. She didn't want to admit it,
though. She glared at Darius. "If you don't admit you fabricated that, you'll pay the price for defaming
and slandering me!"
Darius scoffed. No one knew for sure whether he was laughing, but it was obvious that he was
disdainful of Samantha. Everyone present widened their eyes in surprise.
‘Who's this guy? I can't believe he's speaking to Samantha like that!"
"Samantha's nothing but an ordinary person now. The wealth that belonged to her family now belongs
to this guy. I don’t see why he can't speak to her like that. If I were him, I'd probably act the same way."
Samantha’s expression turned venomous at their words. She said to Darius, "I don't think your actions
make you worthy of being called a man. Shouldn't you at least tell me who you are and what you're
trying to achieve?"
"I wouldn't be so rude if I were in your shoes. I'm a client of your father's company, and he relies on us
heavily. Also, he needs an investment company to support his cash flow." He put his hands in his
pockets, looking contemptuous.
Samantha had been disdainful before, but she didn't dare behave that way anymore. Her eyes were
trained on Darius,. "Who the hell are you? How do you know that?"
He glanced at the clock on the wall, and his face became void of emotion." I've already wasted too
much time on you people. You need to think about whether you're worth it."
She felt humiliated, and tears formed in her eyes. Her voice became tremulous as she said, "Darius
Reid, I know you're a wealthy person, much wealthier than I am. But you shouldn't have done that to
me when I did nothing to offend you."
Darius narrowed his eyes. ‘You're not making sense at all. The surveillance cameras and your
colleagues have captured everything you did. Even if your colleagues don't say anything for fear of
retribution, there’s still the surveillance footage."
He looked at the cameras, then smiled. "Of course, if you don't believe me, perhaps there are other
ways to make you explain yourself."
He turned to Erin. "Have you taken down everything that she did?"
Erin’s fingers were still flying across the keyboard, but her eyes focused on Darius. She nodded,
looking happy.
"Mr. Reid, there's no need for you to worry about that at all. I knew she wasn't the good sort right from
the beginning, so I always kept an eye on her. Moreover, the fact that she switched tactics so quickly
just proves that she's acting like this for a reason."
Darius narrowed his eyes again.
