Chapter 285
He smiled. "Ah, it's you. I remember that you were expelled because of your bad record. Also, the university tested you psychologically and determined that you had a high propensity for violence.”
As Darius spoke, he pulled his hands out of his pocket and allowed them to rest by his side. Though he didn't think Holt was a threat, there was no denying that Holt could launch a sudden attack on any of the people present.
Holt looked at Darius and laughed mockingly. He rolled his sleeves up and cracked his knuckles.
"It looks like the beatings you received back in university didn't leave much of an impression on you. You don't seem to remember what we rich people are capable of, but I suppose they're the ones to be blamed for not being able to teach you a lesson. It's okay—l'll teach you a lesson on their behalf." He turned to face Darius.
At his words, Calypso couldn't hold herself back anymore. This was mostly due to her stupidity-earlier, she'd suspected Darius was a wealthy person! Her suspicions humiliated her, even if no one knew what had gone through her mind. This infuriated her because she felt like Darius had tricked her.
She shot to her feet, pointed at Darius, and shrieked, "Holt, get him! Give him a good beating! Once he admits to his mistakes, I'll serve Kate to you on a silver platter. We can talk about everything else after that." Her insinuation was obvious.
Darius saw Holt's Adam's apple bob at Calypso's words, and everyone present heard her loud and clear. They all smiled meaningfully, wanting to see how Kate felt about this.
Unfortunately for them, Kate wasn't around to hear this, so there was no way for their wish to be granted.
They looked at Holt expectantly, and he didn't disappoint. He waved at them and said, "It looks like we'll be a family after today."
As everyone applauded, he walked toward Darius, a trace of victory in his eyes. It was as if Kate was already his, giving Darius a thorough understanding of how shameless he could be.
