He smiled politely and turned to face Darius. Then, he rubbed his hands and said, “You must be Darius. I’ve heard of you, and I know that you’re an outstanding person. In fact, I really respect you for not giving up on yourself, even under such tough circumstances. I’ve even hung a portrait of you in my son’s room so that he can grow up to be just like you!”Darius’ lips twitched at his sycophantic expression and turned away without a word. He didn’t know how to respond to Sean’s blatant sucking up, so he chose not to say anything. However, he didn’t expect Sean to still try to strike up a conversation despite his obvious repulsion. Sean said, “I have to thank my lucky stars for allowing me to see you today.”Darius raised an eyebrow. “The fact that you can say that shows how bad your taste is.” He didn’t raise his voice, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear him. The crowd started laughing.Sean gulped, not knowing what to say in response. He’d never met someone like Darius, wh

“Because I’m honestly not as mad as you think I am,” Darius said calmly.Sean’s eyes darted around. He didn’t know what the right thing to do was. He’d get his way with other people by apologizing or throwing a tantrum, but it didn’t seem to work with Darius. He paled, refusing to accept this.Darius started to walk away. Sean wanted to make him stay, but he knew he couldn’t say anything. Who knew whether it’d make Darius more upset? So, he had no choice but to chase after Darius.Ashley was standing at a spot that Darius had to pass by when leaving. When the two of them walked past her, Sean saw her and slapped her without hesitation, making her fall to the ground again. There were already scratch marks on her face, to begin with, and they only became more evident now that her face was swelling up. She put a hand on her face and stared at Sean with bloodshot eyes, then growled, “Sean Andelen, I’ve treated you well, haven’t I? And everyone knows about our relationship! How do you exp

“If you insist on helping her, I’ll seek help from the authorities to keep you away from me.” Darius raised an eyebrow and turned to leave. He didn’t want to waste another second here—it looked like it was almost time for the banquet. However, he had only taken one step when he felt someone grab him. He guessed that it was the old woman, and he turned to look at his sleeve. As expected, he was right.He slowly turned to face her and said, “I don’t like coming into physical contact with others, and it’s only out of the kindness of my heart that I didn’t fling you away. Now, you’ve used up all the kindness that I have.” His eyes were frosty.The old woman’s heart sank, and she let go of him before realizing what she was doing. Then, she backed away while looking at him warily. She gulped and said, “Whatever it is, it’s not right for you to be treating a woman like this, especially since she hasn’t done anything to harm you.”Darius raised an eyebrow. There was a hint of anger in his ey

“I’m sorry about this. I really want to let you finish your sentence, but we can’t allow that. If you manage to get your phone number out there, I’ll be severely punished, so I have to stop you.” The reporter’s heart raced as she snatched the microphone away from the old woman. Then, she turned and ran away as quickly as possible. Darius was her reason for coming here; he was already leaving before she could get a clear image of him. She'd be dead meat if her superiors were to get wind of this. With this thought in mind, she sped up.As Darius walked away, he heard someone running after him. He frowned and turned around, thinking it was the old woman. However, he was greeted by the sight of a young woman in a blue, checkered dress. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders in waves, and her blue eyes shone brightly.He narrowed her eyes at her dress—it was designed in a traditional Eastern style but had been changed to look more modern. In the past, it was rare for him to come across

“In the past, we’ve interviewed plenty of wealthy people. Darius is considered relatively kind and easy to speak to compared to some of the others we’ve seen. If we apologize to him and try to talk to him again, I think we’ll be able to get this interview done.”The reporter’s eyes became redder, and she whipped her head around to glare at the cameraman. “How can you say something like that? I didn’t do anything wrong, so why should I apologize to him to make him happy? Are you telling me to forget about my dignity so that I can get my job done? Is there something wrong with your brain? I didn’t do anything wrong!”The cameraman didn’t expect her to get so mad; the look in her eyes was so feral that the cameraman couldn’t even think about whether she was right. He backed away, but he was a little too slow. When the reporter finished her rant, she immediately swung a hand at the cameraman. He thought she would hit him, so he leaned back to dodge her. Unexpectedly, the reporter’s atten

His look was one of disdain. “Firstly, whoever I choose to treat nicely has nothing to do with you, and you don’t have the right to question me. Secondly, you’re very ignorant.” Darius turned back to the cameraman. “You can let me know if you need help with anything. For instance, if you want to leave this TV station and find a new job.”The cameraman stiffened and gaped at him. There was no concealing the surprised look in his eyes. “Mr. Reid, are you being serious? I’m 100% willing to quit my job and work for you! When I graduated, it was my greatest wish to get a job at one of the companies under the Reid Consortium. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the skills or abilities necessary.” His voice was shaky as he said this.Darius smiled and patted him on the shoulder. “There’s no need to be so agitated; we’ll have plenty of chances to see each other from now on. Before that, there’s one thing you should know—I don’t plan on recruiting you for any of the companies under the Reid Consorti
Chapter 380
The cameraman stiffened and gaped at Darius, not expecting this at all. He was so shocked that he didn’t even think about running after Darius. When he heard Darius starting his car, he returned to his senses and dashed toward the car. “No, I don’t need to think about it. I’ll do it! I’ll go to West Atlantics Int’l!”Darius was speechless. He couldn’t believe he’d thought the cameraman reminded him of himself. If he weren’t an enlightened martial artist, there was no way he could’ve heard his shouts. At the same time, he also heard the reporter’s footsteps. He hesitated for a few seconds and decided not to leave yet.To everyone’s surprise, the cameraman was overtaken by the reporter. She darted toward the car, slammed her hands on the hood, and glared at Darius. “Darius Reid, you’re too much! I don’t understand why you’re acting like this, so I won’t let you go!”Darius felt a headache coming on. He didn’t expect her to be so unreasonable. Was she mentally ill or something? He open

“It’s the first event you’re going to attend as my employee.”The cameraman’s eyes widened. He didn’t expect to be given such an opportunity, which was a wonderful surprise. He gulped and said, “Mr. Reid, are you being serious? Shouldn’t I undergo some training before attending this event?”Darius smiled. “Yes, you heard me right. Tonight’s banquet is meant to introduce one of the jewelry brands under my company to everyone. Of course, I don’t expect them to buy anything. My goal is for these guests to learn to admire the jewelry as they would artistic masterpieces, even if they can’t afford to buy them. I’ll consider the banquet a success if we can achieve this.”The cameraman’s jaw dropped, and he looked at Darius in shock. He’d never thought that jewelry could be used to do this, and his shock turned to admiration. Then, he was overcome with anxiety again—he’d just realized that he was in the passenger seat; Darius was driving him! He gulped and subconsciously lifted an arm to grab
