Chapter 271
“I’ll accept your condition as you're already being so generous,” Darius said while getting off the bench to stand. He shoved his hands in his pockets, turned, then headed for the Gillette family's villa.
"Since both our secretaries aren't here, only you are available to draft an agreement on our share transfer."
Wilson shut his eyes. Yet, a second later, he rushed up to Darius and entered his villa alongside the latter. A look of resignation shrouded his face like a dark cloud, but Wilson had to do so to survive.
After all, there was no telling if he could keep Remnard Estate; perhaps the estate's villa and every piece of furniture inside it would no longer be his if he disobeyed Darius.
There were many thoughts in Wilson's head, but he kept his face blank the entire time. When he entered the study, he found Darius sitting on the ergonomic chair behind the desk.
The latter even considerately turned the monitor and keyboard in Wilson's direction, ready to have the agreement drafted.
Wilson could not keep a collected expression. At that point, he finally realized everything he once owned was no longer his-they were now Darius
Even the study that was his an hour ago had now belonged to the latter. Thus, he entered the room and could only sit at the desk as a guest.
That set off an unprecedented heartache in Wilson. These emotions were so powerful that he could not disguise them. He took a deep exhale, raised both hands that were trembling, and willed himself to put them on the keyboard.
The entire process took about three minutes. Then, he looked at the monitor screen, not saying anything more as he typed up the agreement without stopping.
Opposite him, Darius remained calm as always. He casually reached out to grab and flip through some documents around.
Suddenly, his brows twisted into a deep frown while he slammed a specific sheet of paper onto the desk.
Never did Wilson think Darius would react with such anger, so the commotion jolted him, his hands jerking against many keys at once.
Fearful and unsettled, he immediately looked at Darius.
Wilson then pursed his lips, wanting to ask Darius what had happened. Yet, when he noticed Darius’ furious expression, he chose to keep quiet.
