Chapter 247


    Darius ced his hands in his pockets, condescendingly looking down at Bilgi and spitting.


    Without giving the matter another thought, he swung his foot onto thetter’s stomach, then headed


    back tothe couch.


    Bilgiy on the ground.He struggled to turn his head toward Darius before coughing up blood.


    Only then did his hoarse voice ring out.


    "I guess you''re not very bright, so I’ll punish you now!"


    His head whipped around to face the men in various formal suits behind him.


    They were staring at him with nk faces, which made his breathing quicken.He mmed both palms


    into the ground, forcing himself off the floor.


    "Why the hell aren’t you guys doing anything?" he loudly barked at the men, his saliva sttering


    everywhere while he pointed at Darius.


    "Have you forgotten who the boss that’s sustaining your livelihoods is? I’m now ordering you guys to


    break this boy toy’s legs! Let’s see how he’ll use his body for a living after bing a cripple!"


    Not a tinge of emotion showed on Darius’ face.


    Meeting such an unbothered man for the first time made Bilgi quiver uncontrobly with rage.


    Yet, a light bulb suddenly went off in his head.


    He straightened himself after standing, and his sneer shot toward Darius like a bullet.


    "Are you someone wealthy? If so, why would you choose to be with Kate? She’s useless!" he


    thundered.


    After saying that, he fervently shook his head as though he had lost his mind.


    He then corrected himself, saying, "No! Impossible! There’s no way you’re rich.If you are, you would


    know who’s really in power here."


    Bilgi viewed himself as superior just then.His back straightened like before, exuding a cocky aura as if


    he were the king of the world.


    He jutted his chin while smirking at Darius.


    "It’s okay, though.I understand you''re very young and want to go after your primal desires.However, I


    can tel] you that your pursuits will fail! Of course, you ignore my words, but when the hotel’s security


    guards arrive five minutester and have to choose between believing you or me, you’ll see I’m not


    lying."


    He then swung his coat back while sitting on the couch, extending his legs and cing his right ankle


    onto his left thigh.


    s, his ns got foiled before the security guards even arrived—Erin beat them to it.


    She stood at the door, knocking on it.


    "Mr.Reid, I''ve brought the things you''ll need to prepare for tonight’s banquet.I’ll need you to assess


    them and try on the clothing options."


    Darius glimpsed at Bilgi, who sat beside him on the couch, then nodded.


    "Sure.Come in."


    Meanwhile, Bilgi could not take his eyes off Erin when she arrived.


    He gasped in his heart, thinking, "I’ve never seen such an exquisite woman in my life! I suppose it


    proves Darius is wealthy.After all, a beauty like her would never appear by his side if he were


    poor.Then again, this woman seems naive.I bet she’s never met an actual wealthy person.That must


    be why she''s sticking by Darius’ side."


    With that thought, he smoothed out the creases on his coat and cleared his throat.He then spoke with a


    gravelly voice while reaching out to shake Erin’s hand.


    "It’s lovely to meet you, prettydy."


    Little did he expect Erin to frown, not bothering to spare him a second nce as she walked past him.


    Bilgi could not stand such rudeness.He reached out to grab her wrist, a greasy smirk of ill intent


    forming on his face.


    Yet, that smirk faltered halfway as Erin slipped away at lightning speed before he could grasp her.He


    looked up, eyes widening at Erin standing behind Darius.


    Her forehead creased while she shot Bilgi a murderous re.


    Seeing that, Bilgi inhaled sharply and waved it off.

    "Okay, I understand you’re young and inexperienced with differentiating such things.So, I won’t be mad


    at you.I’ll even give you another chance.He locked onto Erin, shing a look of sincerity at her.


    "You should know the man beside you owns far less wealth than me.I can tell from his gaze." A brief


    silence ensued.


    Then, he spoke at a quicker pace.


    "I’m not saying you’re wed or not pretty.Instead, I’m emphasizing how he chose to be with another


    woman, despite already having a stunning woman like you by his side."


    As he uttered that insult, he made sure to shoot a raised eyebrow at Kate.


    Erin’s gaze quickly traveled toward Kate, then back onto Bilgi as she replied firmly, "I think you should


    take responsibility for everything you’re saying.Because you''re not the only one with surveince


    footage of what happened here—we do too.First, this camera somehow appeared in our chairman’s


    room.Then, you and your men suddenly barged in.We would never allow these things to happen, yet


    they did.Since you''re rich, I believe you’ll have awyer to back you up.I doubt you need me to exin


    the consequences of having a part in these two things.Thus, please vacate the premises at once!"


    Bilgi had always believed no one would reject his advances.


    Hence, the undesirable oue made his features warp into a hideous scowl.


    He pointed at Erin, hissing, "You may be pretty, but your actions have pissed me off! I’ll make you


    regret ever crossing paths with me today if you don’t apologize now—"


    Before he could continue insulting Erin, Darius’ voice resonated in front of him.
