Chapter 310

What Maurice heard next bewildered him, even though it was a detail from many years ago.

Felix straightened his back almost instantly.

He also adopted a strident tone as he explained, "Mr.Reid, he and his boss once came to propose a
business collaboration with my company.It’s just that they got kicked out."

He did not elaborate on the latter half of the information as he believed clarifying the first half was
enough for Darius to guess what came next.

Darius could tell Felix was a reasonable person, so he did not speak and merely turned to lean his
back against the car seat before shutting his eyes.

Maurice had more to say but did not know where to begin because he was too shocked.

It took him a few moments to mull over his options.

Eventually, he remained silent but kept a cautious eye on Darius and Felix.

Maurice had figured Darius was insanely rich from the latter’s overall behavior.

However, he had sorely underestimated the extent of Darius’ wealth; in fact, he dared not even guess
how wealthy the latter was.

On the other hand, Maurice had long lost contact with Felix, who had since become a household name
as a famous actor and occasional singer.

Sometime later in life, Maurice learned from a television interview that his expenses for an entire year
were equivalent to the price of a single one of Felix’s meals.



Maurice was initially unbothered by this, but it broke his mind to hear someone with a lavish lifestyle
like Felix addressing Darius with the utmost formality.

Meanwhile, Felix took Darius’ passive reaction as a cue to stop speaking, or else he would interrupt the
latter's rest.

Thus, Felix clamped his lips shut.

Seeing that indicated to Maurice that he should not keep quiet.

Still, he could not help speaking, especially when he saw Felix’s gaze lingering on Darius.

He had gotten ignored by Felix the entire time.

At that point, Darius’ breathing was deep and more relaxed, indicating he had fallen asleep.

"You haven’t answered me, Felix," Maurice asked, deciding that was the perfect time to speak.

His tone was subdued, fearing he would wake Darius if he raised his voice even slightly.

"Why are you here?"

"you've always been quite the cheery comedian as a child.I never imagined you would turn out this
way," Felix remarked while rolling his eyes.

He did not say anything more afterward, wanting to maintain the silence for Darius’ rest.

To his annoyance, Maurice refused to go along with it; the boy’s arm speedily shot from the backseat to
grip his shoulders.

Not a trace of emotion showed on Felix’s face as he stayed in the driver's seat.



As for the arm that clutched his shoulder, he paid no mind to it entirely.

Maurice could tell the former was ignoring him.

Although such a thing often happened in his past 15 years, he could not tolerate being disregarded by
Felix.

His chest sank deeply with rage as he stifled a growl.

It was not long before Edward’s footsteps neared the side of the car.

Once Edward arrived, Darius did not open his eyes but reached up to roll down the window.

Upon hearing that, Maurice retracted his arm, and his breathing became shallow.

He peered at Darius while bobbing his Adam's apple.

Darius could tell the former's gaze seemed to tip-toe around him cautiously.

He even detected a hint of anticipation inside the boy's eyes.

Even so, he did not turn to address the boy’s actions nor open his eyes.

That was Edward's first time seeing Darius behave this way.

Although he had not served Darius for long, he could clearly tell those actions meant the latter was in a
bad mood.

Not knowing how to react to such an unprecedented situation, Edward could only lower his head as he
froze by the passenger door.

Apprehension oozed from his every pore, much like Maurice and Felix’s reactions.



The latter two were equally, if not more, on edge because of Darius’ frosty silence.

Sensing the two’s breathing had quickened, Darius gradually opened his eyes and said, "I agreed to let
you keep Maurice Anderson around.

However, that’s one of the few decisions I’ve ever made that I regret."

Everyone, except for Edward, took a sharp inhale upon hearing that.

A grim tone filled Edward’s subdued voice as he said, "Rest assured, Mr.Reid.I’ll keep a close eye on
Maurice 24/7.I won't let any issues in his life slip away from my watch.Likewise, I'll train him to
perfection before letting him appear before you again."

Grave silence filled the car after that.

Only the faint sounds of everyone’s inhales and exhales could be heard.

It ensued for some time before Maurice could not stand the suspense.

He cautiously looked up, wanting to catch a glimpse of Darius’ current expression.

Alas, before his head raised entirely, he felt a force pressing his head back down.

That was when Edward had turned to look in Maurice’s direction but still maintained a respectful
countenance.

His voice seemed to split into two tones, one warning Maurice while the other gave a solemn promise
to Darius.

"If I fail to do so, I will make him disappear from this world."



Not a single response came from Darius even after that.

Edward’s forehead grew sweatier by the second.

He had always viewed Darius as easy-going, so this was his first time encountering the latter’s cruel
side.

It made his eyes tremble in their sockets as he did not know what Darius wanted.

The situation continued for what felt like forever, causing Edward to feel things were disadvantageous
for him.

A frown tainted his face at once.

He realized they had been here for longer than planned, which was different from how Darius was
rushing earlier.

"In other words, Mr.Reid is way angrier than ever."

With that thought, sirens went off in Edward’s head.

Goosebumps raised all over his limbs as he unknowingly pressed Maurice’s head lower.

The idea hit Edward so suddenly that his increased strength caught the boy off guard.

Maurice was unprepared for that, so he acted accordingly to Edward’s guidance, bowing his head at
Darius.
