Chapter 264

Darius did not care about whatever rhetoric Wilson brought up.

Thus, he did not respond to the latter’s claims and turned to look at Cerys instead, stating, "This young lady is your daughter, and I've hurt her."

Only then did Wilson spare Cerys a glance.

Yet, what baffled everyone at the scene was his lack of emotion toward her.

All he did was nod and apathetically reply, "Indeed.

She’s my badly behaved daughter, which is why I’m grateful you showed up and put her in place, Mr.Reid."

A scoff came from Darius as he thought, "Wilson’s implying I purposely came to the banquet to punish his daughter."

He did not verbally express his opinion but kept both hands in his pockets and nodded.

"Yes, ve already punished your two misbehaving sons on your behalf, so I don’t mind disciplining your daughter too.Though, I would never end their lives because I don’t have any bad blood with you, Gillettes."

Wilson’s eyes grew wide in that instant.

His heart rate spiked as he could tell there was more to Darius’ words.

He then thundered, "What the hell have you done to Thomas?"

His voice boomed so loudly that it made everyone jolt and tremble.
