Iago laughed at Darius' words. They boarded the helicopter. Ten minutes later, the Evans Consortium's building came into view. Iago sighed in relief and smiled. "This is where my mother first met Bennett, and it's also where she ended her short and tragic life. From then on, I swore to myself that I had to have the Evans family under my control! Now, I've finally done it. I won't allow those who once harmed me and my mother to get away with the things they've done."Darius nodded. "That's fine and dandy, but I don't particularly care. All I wanna know is what I can get out of this after putting in so much effort.""You'll get the Evans family." Iago looked at him seriously. "Don't think I'm speaking without thinking. I mean every word I say right now; they come from the heart. I'm uninterested in managing the Evans family and Evans Consortium. If not for the vow I made before my mother's grave to make the members of the Evans family pay for everything they'd done, I wouldn't have both

"Of course, even if you disagree, I have plenty of ways to make you agree. I just don't think any of you would enjoy being subject to my methods." Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled. "I don't think I'm wrong to say that." He turned to Iago, who nodded vigorously. Then, he turned back to look at the board members. "So, do you have anything else to say?""You may own 20 percent of the Evans Consortium's shares, but there wasn't any announcement about it! None of us know about that!""Why the rush?" Darius clucked his tongue. "I was gonna get to it someday."One of the board members looked positively murderous. "We're doubtful of how you came to own the shares and ask that you don't join the board of directors and enjoy the rights that come with it."At this moment, Iago asked, "Are there any questions about the 52 percent that I own?" He glared at the board members. Darius raised an eyebrow silently, smiling as he swept a glance over the board members. He leaned back and exhaled, know

Darius stood before them with his hands tucked in his pockets, looking relaxed. Iago stood by the car and gave him a thumbs-up, looking at him with his eyes lit up. He'd never met anyone like Darius who could play everyone present with a few sentences. Even if he were to just stand there without saying anything, he could attract everyone's attention. Iago couldn't take his eyes off Darius.Darius exhaled and smiled. "Now that we've taken care of that, I'll hand things over to your new head of family and make myself scarce. I'm sure he has many things to say, so I'll be waiting in the room. I hope you guys can have a good discussion and come up with a satisfactory result. I'm waiting to attend the feast to celebrate the appointment of your new head of family, you know." With that, he turned and headed into the manor, looking more at ease than any of the members of the Evans family gaping at him.Iago crossed his arms silently and smiled scornfully at the crowd. He waited until Darius

"We can't give them any opportunity to slip through the cracks and use some obscure loophole against us. Under such circumstances, I don't think the other terms matter much. We can just add in anything extra once Mr. Reid goes through the contract," said Erin. The secretariat employees got to work. The sound of flurrying papers and clacking keyboards was all that was heard. Erin nodded in satisfaction and returned to her office.On the other hand, Darius sat in the car with Iago beside him, chattering away about his plans for the company's future. Darius' eyes were shut, and he was poker-faced. At this moment, his phone pinged. He sighed, making Iago shut up. He pulled his phone out and raised an eyebrow in surprise when he read the message Erin had sent him. It hadn't even been ten minutes since they'd spoken, but Erin had already prepared an agenda for him, which clearly listed the things they needed to do once they acquired the Evans Consortium. This included the reorganization o

Only then did Iago realize there were name cards placed on the table. His face turned even redder as he hurried to his seat and sat down. Darius saw all of this and sighed but didn't say anything. When everyone had taken their seats, he said, "Today's acquisition was only possible because the managing director of the Evans Consortium, Mr. Iago Evans, pushed for it. Now, allow me to introduce myself again—my name's Darius Reid. You may already recognize my face, but I doubt you're aware of me being the chairman of the Evans Consortium's board of directors while also the president of West Atlantics Int'l."Everyone knew what this meant—Darius alone owned 90 percent of the wealth in Ashweir City. They were stunned by this; Darius waited until they'd recovered from their shock to continue, "I'm sure all of you here have your own opinions about how the company should proceed from here, but the Evans Consortium is gonna be one of West Atlantics Int'l's subsidiaries from today onward.
