He looked at Darius confidently as if this was all part of his plan.
Darius narrowed his eyes.
"Honestly, you’re wrong."
His original plan was to deliver a devastating blow to the Gillette Group and reduce its net worth
exponentially, but it seemed that this wouldn’t work out.
Darius raised an eyebrow, then turned to look at Erin.
"He hurt you earlier.Are you willing to let him off the hook?"
Wilson narrowed his eyes at Darius’ words.He felt deeply uneasy, but he didn’t dare say anything.
In fact, he didn’t even dare look at Darius, afraid that he would accidentally reveal his true emotions.
He sucked in a breath, thinking that this was his first time feeling so frustrated.
He swore to himself that if Darius didn’t end him right here and now, he would definitely find a chance
to get revenge in the future.He’d make Darius disappear off the face of this world.
As soon as he thought about this, he sensed Darius’ gaze change.He raised his head and stared
directly into Darius’ eyes, but he didn’t see anything different.
This only made him feel even more confused, and he gulped.
He was about to say something when Erin shook her head.
"No, it’s fine.Thank you, Mr.Reid.You’ve already taught him a lesson earlier, and I doubt he’ll have the
nerve to do something similar in the future."
Darius raised an eyebrow.He knew Erin was only trying to appease him, but he didn’t know why she
was letting the matter go.
Erin wasn’t mad that he hadn’t given her a response.She tugged on his sleeve and said in a small
voice, "Sir, I think you should ask Miss Chamberlain what she thinks.Her expression’s already shifted a
few times now.Also, the Chamberlain Group’s the one that’s suffered the most at the hands of Gillette
Group, and not..."
Only then did Darius notice Pearl watching him with a painful look.He didn't understand it, so he walked
over to her with a frown.
However, when he stood before her, she merely forced out a smile and said, "That woman's beautiful."
She was expressionless as she said this.
This made Darius’ frown deepen.
He didn’t want to continue on this topic, so he cleared his throat before saying, "The Gillette Group’s
done a lot of things to the Chamberlain Group, and both Wilson and Hank have tried to harm you.If
there’s anything you want to do to them, you can let me know.I'll do my best to help you."
His tone was as calm as if he was talking about the weather.
Pearl forced out a slightly bitter smile and tried to comfort herself by telling herself that things had
worked out well—Darius would never be hers alone, and no matter how competent a rival Erin was, at
least she would never beat her in terms of age! With this thought in mind, Pearl nodded and placed a
hand on Darius’ arm.
"I’m fine with anything, and I’ll go with whatever you have in mind.I'll be happy as long you are."
Darius raised an eyebrow.He didn't expect to hear this, and he’d be lying if he were to say that he was
completely unmoved by her words.So, he let out a soft sigh and patted her on the shoulder, his tone
gentler than usual as he said, "What did you come here for?"
Pearl suddenly slapped herself on the forehead, the sound attracting everyone’s attention.
A proper smile curved her lips.
"When I came to look for you, I met some nice officials.They told me that your company in Almiron City
ran into some problems, so they were going to come and tell you about it.They didn’t look like they held
high positions, though, so I don’t think it’s anything important."
She looked innocent, but Darius had already narrowed his eyes.
Based on his experience and current situation, the authorities wouldn’t bother tipping him off.
This meant that these people were actually coming for him.
His expression became frosty, and the temperature around him dropped.
Pearl shuddered and linked her arm with his before asking in a small voice, "Are you mad? Did I do the
wrong thing by bringing them here? Or are you worried about your company?"
The more she spoke, the smaller her voice became because she knew she’d done something to upset
him.
When he saw her like this, Darius sighed and rubbed her on the head.
"Now, now.This doesn’t have anything to do with you, actually.Also, shouldn’t you be on campus? I
doubt you managed to get any time off."
Pearl’s jaw dropped, and she looked at him disapprovingly.
"How could I possibly wait around while you resolved this? You only went up against the Gillette Group
because of me! Also, this is Almiron City.I grew up here, and the Chamberlain Group’s roots are here.I
can protect you better by being here with you."
The loyalty in her gaze was obvious.
It made Darius raise an eyebrow, but his voice was cold as he said, "If so, you can stay.
Where are the officials that you mentioned?"
Pearl was unaware that she’d already made Darius mad.
She smiled brightly, accentuating her beauty, immediately turning her into the center of attention.
However, it seemed that she wasn’t aware of this.
She looked at Darius seriously, hoping he would finally make room for her in his heart.
Soon, she knew that it was impossible.
Darius’ attention had already shifted to the officials she’d mentioned.
Their presence was out of his expectation, and he wanted answers.
Unfortunately, Pearl couldn’t provide them for him because even she didn’t know why they’d left without
her after getting out of the car.
