Chapter 269

At that moment, Wilson only wanted to get Darius’ protection.

Never in a million years did Darius think that would happen.

Hence, he grinned in amusement, saying, "What you’ve said has satisfied me, so I’m willing to help."

He cracked his neck while continuing, "Since you've already expressed your loyalty to me, I can straightforwardly tell you that I've come here to obtain the Gillette Group’s shares.Wilson’s eyes grew wide with disbelief at what he had heard.He stumbled onto his butt, forgetting he was about to stand up.

Moments of gloomy silence passed before he looked down, muttering, "Now that you’ve told me your plans, I doubt I can say no to them.Please give me a few minutes to digest this information.It’s too painful for me to take in all at once.After all, I’m about to gift the riches I’ve worked hard to get all my life to someone else for free.I -I doubt anyone can peacefully agree to such a thing in am- moment’s notice."

His voice tremored by the end of that sentence.

Nevertheless, his eyes brimmed with determination as he shot a pleading look at Darius.

The latter nodded, leaving to sit on a bench in the yard.

He kept quiet while doing so, but the silence and peace did not last as Cerys crawled out seconds later from hiding in a random corner.

Her entire body was covered in dirt, so much so that one could not see the true color of her skin.

Even so, her eyes remained clear with determination.

She parted her lips, shrilling louder than before, "You can’t! Although you haven’t publicly accepted me as your daughter, our DNA proves we're related! I am your daughter, which means I have the right to inherit your assets! Thus, I don’t agree with you transferring the company’s shares to Darius!"

She exerted a lot of force to speak loudly, causing the dark greenish veins on her neck to pop.

Darius was sure Cerys’ heart was an equally repulsive color as her veins.

Nevertheless, he did not speak and merely watched from the bench as the two Gillette family members argued.

At the same time, he sipped from the coffee that he had asked Wilson’s secretary to fetch him earlier.

When Cerys shot to her feet, Wilson’s secretary had already stood by Darius’ side, not intending to leave.

Darius could tell the secretary had stepped closer to him as the fragrance from her makeup and perfume overwhelmed him.

"What you’re doing now is very annoying to me," he snarled while frowning.

He meant those words for Cerys, yet his eyes were on Wilson.

At that point, Wilson was well aware of who he served, so he had been watching Darius closely.
