Chapter 209

Kate intended to say more, but Darius suddenly opened his eyes.

His icy glare sent chills down everyone’s spines while he ordered the captain, ‘You may fly this plane at
its regular speed if you're able to take off within ten minutes."

Anxiously, Kate chewed on her bottom lip while scrutinizing Darius’ face. Only after seeing his blank
look did she realize he was serious. Thus, she nodded at the hesitant captain beside her.

"Go. Get the plane to Almiron City as quickly as you can.”

The seat in front of Darius was empty.

Kate did not hesitate to sit there and buckle her seatbelt.

"I don't think that’s your seat," said a frowning Darius. "Besides, it bothers me. He felt a hitch in Kate’s
breath but did not dwell on it. Instead, he shut his eyes. The plane soon took off. Silence ensued in the
cabin as no one wanted to bring up what had happened before taking off.

Throughout the journey, Kate kept looking behind her, but Darius’ eyes did not open, nor did he show
signs of wanting to speak to her.

Some time passed when she could not hold herself back. She gazed at Darius, opening her mouth to
speak softly but clearly.

"Mr. Reid, I believe we can discuss things. We have the same enemy, after all."

Erin’s features stiffened with discontent as she mused, ‘This woman eyed Mr. Reid from the start and
kept trying to seduce him with her wealth. Ugh, I can stand that. Sadly, I had to tolerate her actions due



to my inferior status and because Darius was awake. But I can't keep my anger in anymore! Besides,
Mr. Reid is currently napping, so this is my chance!"

She parted her lips, wanting to shut Kate up, but Darius spoke beside her.” We may have the same
enemy, but that doesn't mean you're not my enemy as well."

Darius’ eyes had opened again, revealing his stormy gaze.

Achill tingled down Kate’s spine, causing every muscle in her body to tremble.She clenched the hem of
her skirt tightly, no longer daring to look at Darius. Eying his shoes, she squeaked,

"Everything that happened earlier was my fault. I’m willing to pay the price. All I ask is that you spare
the airline company. Not to

mention, you have shares in the company too. If you resent my behavior, feel free to punish me in any
way fit. I’m willing to put up with anything. Please spare the company. That way, you'll suffer fewer
losses, even if you don't care about it.”

Darius softly chuckled, but everyone could sense the sarcasm dripping from histone.

‘That's impossible. Then again, a better way to phrase it is, ‘you're too late."

Knowing he could no longer rest on the flight, he opened his laptop to read through various contracts.

Kate could tell Darius did not care about her. She pursed her lips while biting on her lower lip. Such
pain was the only way she could stop herself from crying.

Many overwhelming emotions washed over Kate then, but it was evident Darius could not care less.

Kate knew that, so she stood and let out a long exhale before speaking loudly.



"I'll give you all the airline company's shares for free. Just, please, spare my dad. He raised my family
from scratch and did many things for this company. It doesn't matter if Elizabeth or I upset you. Both of
us will bear the consequences.”

Darius raised a brow and thought, “When I first met this woman, she seemed unreasonable. On top of
that, she was full of inappropriate motives and wanted to turn those thoughts into reality. This woman
was so selfish then. Yet, now that things are bad, she managed to snap out of her previous mentality
and sacrifice herself for her father's sake. What a complex individual.”

Despite the shock in his heart, he kept a stoic expression without reacting to Kate at all.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth had overheard the entire conversation and could no longer tolerate things. She
raised her voice at the two, objecting,

"I disagree with what you're doing! Your father has already agreed to give me the company's shares.
We planned to head to the relevant departments and legally transfer all the shares to me, which means
the company is already mine! Your father may spoil you, Kate, but such an offer isn't yours to make!"

Kate met Elizabeth's gaze with a look of mockery.

"What do we do if Darius refuses to spare my dad? Huh? That guy is filthy rich! There's nothing else we
can give him to appease his anger."

"No one said your father is in trouble. You're the one making all of it up!" Elizabeth rolled her eyes,
determination filling her eyes. She continued confidently, as though her every word was the truth,

‘You've already made your intentions obvious. You had a crush on Darius, someone affluent, but he
turned you down. All your actions now are to prove to Darius that you're as wealthy as he is, that you're
worthy of standing by his side as an equal!”



‘T-That's not true!" Kate retorted, her eyes rounding with betrayal. “You know it's untrue, yet you're
using that lie to criticize me!"

She took a deep breath, her hands forcefully gripping both sides of her waist as she could not stand
such slander. Wanting to fight back, she parted her lips.

That was when Darius’ irritated tone rang out, interrupting, "I'm uninterested in the airline company. But
I won't spare your father either."

Elizabeth's eyes rolled while Kate paled.

At that point, Darius was aware of who was genuinely worried about the man locked up in the
detainment center and who was selfishly looking after herself.

The women's conflict improved Darius' impression of Kate. Thus, he offered her a solution. “I believe I
can spare your father this once. That is, after I discuss with him and arrive at a happy conclusion."

Kate finally released a deep sigh of relief.
