Chapter 466
Darius scrutinized each of them but kept a gentle tone and asked, “May I know why you guys are looking for me?” The hospital director’s brows furrowed. Still, he mustered all his courage to lock eyes with Darius before boldly exclaiming, “That guy in your arms has many unpaid medical bills, so he owes this hospital a lot of money!”While speaking, the director examined Darius like he was testing the waters. In truth, he was hesitant about confronting Darius as he was unsure whether Darius could cover the expensive medical bills. Nevertheless, he needed to take his shot for the hospital’s sake. Much to his surprise, Darius nodded.It was almost as if dollar bills appeared in the director’s eyes. He grinned from ear to ear but suddenly spoke more arrogantly. Raising one finger at a time, he said to Darius, “Firstly, no one has paid his hospitalization fee for the month that he’s stayed here. That, and his medical fees, require payments.”“A month?” Darius cocked a brow, his once polit

“Who’s to say those aren’t clothes you bought from a random unknown shop? Not to mention, you’ve only acted unreasonably since stepping into the hospital! You must now do as the law says and pay your outstanding bills before leaving! Alternatively, you could go back to your hotel and gather some money before returning for the patient. Either way, I’d advise against digging up every last coin you have to pay the bills in one go, as you’ll end up a pauper.” While saying that, the director smirked.A faint growl came from Darius as he sighed. Pivoting on his heel, he then ordered, “Edward!”It did not take long for Edward to fetch a wheelchair over.Once Darius gingerly placed Zack onto the wheelchair, he straightened his back and waved dismissively. “Get Zack out of here.”Edward stiffened, his brows knitting while he did not do as told. He merely stood by Darius’ side in silence. He held his ground, not wanting to leave, despite knowing he would get punished when all of this was over.

Black cards were often custom luxury credit cards that banks issued to exclusive customers. Many could only dream of owning such a card, and based on what the director knew, no more than ten wealthy families across the country were rich enough to have their family monograms engraved on their bank cards. Not to mention, none of those affluent families were from Almiron City. “Crap! I’m in deep shit now,” the director thought, his face paling like a ghost while his lips trembled. He then shot a trembling look at Darius and did not hesitate to get on his knees to beg for mercy. Tears soon gathered in his eyes as he pleaded, “I know I’ve made a grave mistake by offending you. I was wrong. You aren’t an arrogant nouveau riche, and the aura you give off is nothing like the sort! I was only blabbering nonsense. Please forgive me, I-I…”His eyes darted around, searching for the perfect solution to gain Darius’ forgiveness. Meanwhile, Darius kept his hands behind his back, and his glare wa

Darius looked scornful. “I’ve treated you with kindness and patience, but all you’ve done is disappoint me.” His eyes turned cold. “You must’ve heard what I said, seeing as you managed to immediately lay your eyes on me.”Samantha didn’t know what he was getting at. She shook her head and looked at him disdainfully. “Yes, I heard everything you said, but so what? Are you going to harm me? It’s too bad I know for a fact that you don’t have the nerve to do anything. Otherwise, you would’ve made your move ages ago. Also, you’re so crazed for money that you’ve forgiven me time and time again because of my father’s wealth.”Darius raised an eyebrow, surprised by her candor. He hadn’t expected her to convey her thoughts so bluntly. Obviously, she thought the worst thing that could happen was that there’d be some sort of monetary loss. Unfortunately, she didn’t know losing money was the most inconsequential outcome. He smiled and shook his head. “I hate to say this, but you’re dumber than I

“You can’t treat me like this. My father has been your business partner for a long time, and he’s been extremely kind to you.”Darius shrugged. “You’re right. I’d be glad to continue working with him if he’s okay with it.” He sounded like he was talking about the weather.Samantha wasn’t half as calm as he was. She looked at him with bloodshot eyes and said, “Cut the crap! I don’t believe for a second that my father will continue working with you if you lay a finger on me! You’d better pray he doesn’t skin you alive!” Now that she was sure Darius wouldn’t forgive her, she didn’t bother playing nice.Darius looked at her mockingly. “You know, I thought you’d become smarter and learn a thing or two after working for a few years, but you’ve actually become dumber than before.” He walked toward her, and she trembled violently at the murderous intent in his eyes. She knew this matter wouldn’t be easily resolved and needed to think of a way to get out of this. However, it was too late. Da

Edward nodded. “Yes, but he’s not the smartest either. I would’ve immediately taken credit for treating Zack if I were him. Also, I would’ve chosen to continue treating him without charging anything.”Darius raised an eyebrow. Then, he looked at Zack with a smile. Zack didn’t know the reason for the smile, and he was puzzled. He wanted to ask what was happening but remained silent in the end.Darius shook his head, still smiling. “You’ve forgotten about something important—many people were watching Zack in the hospital, and there’s a chance they haven’t paid a single cent. Perhaps the hospital director didn’t dare to ask them to pay their medical bills, so he chose to push their bills to me instead.” His smile grew. “I didn’t sense any greed from the hospital director, but I did sense some slyness. Whatever it is, he’s not an angel.” He was probably in a great mood. Although he was talking about something unpleasant, he wasn’t angry. Zack’s eyes were trained on him from the backseat
Chapter 472
Michael didn’t say anything. He knew Darius was telling the truth—there was no way to push the blame on Darius, no matter how one looked at it. Samantha was the cause of this whole mess. After a long silence, he sighed. “I know this is all my daughter’s fault, but I still have to defend her. If you insist on punishing her, the only thing I can do is throw every cent the Williams family has into going against you.” He hung up after saying this, no longer possessing the strength to keep the conversation going.He sat stiffly on the sofa, shrouded in darkness in the Williams family villa. The butler appeared beside him, bowed his head, and said, “Sir, I think we’ll need to prepare to face Darius.”Michael nodded. “You’re right, but I don’t know what we should do.”The butler sighed. “The risk of failure is too high. We have to come up with a contingency plan. For instance, we should send Miss Samantha away as quickly as possible.”Michael’s heart started to race at his words. He frowned

“I’m sure you’ve already witnessed firsthand how dangerous it is to be by my side. You can stay with me and face the danger, but Zack can’t. He’s just a normal employee of West Atlantics Int’l.”Edward frowned. He already knew what Darius was getting at, but he didn’t want to accept it. He turned to look at Zack and saw that he was still asleep. His frustration grew, and he reached out, wanting to shake Zack awake. Ultimately, the remnants of his rationality stopped him from doing so.Darius sensed the shift in his emotions, but he’d already guessed what Edward would do. He smiled and shook his head silently.Soon, they arrived at the hotel. There were about sixty yards between the hotel’s main entrance and its gates, and it was filled with people. Darius sighed. He didn’t even need to ask to know what had happened here, and he watched them grimly.When Edward saw the look on Darius’ face, he immediately knew what Darius wanted to do. So, he got out of the car and hurried to the oppo
