Chapter 206
Elizabeth boldly locked eyes with Darius, stating, ‘You im to be the major shareholder with more
than half of thispany''s shares, yet I''ve never seen you before. I can, however, apologize for
everything that happened today if you can prove it.”
Darius’ brows creased into a frown. He reached out an arm, resting it on the bench’s armrest while
tapping his fingers against the metal.
Growing irritation radiated from his very being as he replied, "ording to what I recall, I''ve proven it to
you before."
It was like a blizzard had erupted in Darius’ gaze, causing the temperature around everyone to lower
drastically.
"And you should know that, as your superior, I’m not obligated to prove myself to you. Instead, you
should correct your current behavior toward me,” Darius added.
He then stood and gazed at the group approaching them with a sneer. " Took you guys long enough."
Shock coated the face of the control room personnel who went to confirm Darius’ im about the
ne. Nevertheless, the personnel kept mum and merely shot a look at the other personnel
apanying the group all this while.

Thetter instantly understood the meaning behind that look. He nodded at Darius, announcing, ‘The
examination results have proved your previous ims are true."
That was no surprise for Darius, nor did he care to ask about what went wrong with the ne. He
locked eyes with the personnel, stating, “I believe my secretary and I can now leave.”
His stare made the hairs down the personnel’s back stand.
Although the personnel did not want to admit it, he felt his palms grow mmy with fear at that
moment. Even so, he did not let his emotions get in the way of his work, so he forced himself to speak.
"My sincerest apologies, sir. The two men that we’ve detained im you killed their mother. I believe
we still need an exnation for that.”
Darius returned to his chair, leaning against the backrest as he sighed. He had forgotten about that
matter entirely.
That was when Edward stepped forward with his arms folded behind his back. A murderer''s aura
exuded from his intense stare. He looked at the personnel and stated, “I''ll go with you guys, as I''m
responsible for that.”
The personnel''s eyes narrowed, his gaze shifting between Darius and Edward.
Darius stood just then. With his usual stoic countenance, he stepped in front of Edward and faced the
personnel head-on. "Do you believe him?"
"I don’t." The personnel waved dismissively, shook his head, and resumed,” But I don''t believe you
either. I won''t trust anything you guys say until there’s evidence.”
A frosty look clouded Darius''s eyes as he chuckled. "So, if I said I had to leave this ce..."
The control room personnel understood what Darius meant, despite thetter not finishing that
sentence. He shot a fixed re at Darius and emphasized,
"If what those two say is true, you''ll have to return here even if you leave today. If we meet under those
circumstances, know that the consequences you''ll suffer will be much greater."
His features contorted bitterly by then. ording to the rules, he had no reason to arrest Darius unless
he found evidence or a body to prove thetter was guilty. On top of that, all the personnel’s efforts in
settling today''s conflict were for naught. He could not do anything as Darius walked away from his
sight.
His bitterness did not go unnoticed. Darius sensed it, cocked a brow, then tucked both hands in his
pockets and left without sparing the personnel another nce.
Erin was quick to shut herptop and trail after him.
Likewise, Edward, who had paled significantly throughout everything, chased after Darius too.
Only after Darius, Erin, Bridget, and Edward sat in the ne did Edward''s breathing ease up.
Darius detected the former''s change in breathing and said, "Should we encounter another issue in the
future, I don’t need you to step up."
Those emotionlessly spoken words sparked fear in Edward. He immediately stood, hoping to apologize
to Darius, when an attractive flight attendant came over.
The flight attendant knitted her brows while snapping, “Is this your first time on a ne? Don''t you
know you''re not supposed to stand during takeoff?”
Edward felt even more flustered. He had already caused too much trouble for Darius, so he knew it
was unwise to get into a conflict with the flight attendant now.
At the same time, the flight attendant''s loud voice caught everyone''s attention, causing them to look at
Edward.
Being a bodyguard, Edward had never been the focus of this many people''s attention. Hence, his
cheeks turned as red as beets.
He did not even know where to ce his hands. His lips quivered as all words failed him, and then he
sat back in his seat and fastened his seat belt.
She did not hold back while turning to walk the other way, remarking, ‘Tsk. Clearly, he’s a parvenu. It''s
his first time travelling by ne, yet he’s doing whatever he wants like he''s always been wealthy and
powerful.”
Edward’s eyes narrowed. He hesitated for a second before giving in and exining, “I’m not someone
wealthy. I''m just a regr bodyguard."
That was the second time Darius got angered upon hearing Edward''s words.
"As long as he purchased a flight ticket, he''s your customer,” Darius interfered, crossing one leg over
the other. He also turned to look the flight attendant in the eye. "Moreover, I don''t see how him standing
up has anything to do with his wealth. You should give me a reasonable exnation for your behavior,
or I’ll consider reporting this incident to your employer.”
Then, he ced a hand behind his neck, massaging it to soothe his nerves.
Although that was an insignificant action on Darius’ part, the way his veins popped seemed incredibly
sexy to the flight attendant, who could no longer tear her gaze away from him.
