CHAPTER 411
Joseph's man continued standing in front of him with a dark smile on his face.“I checked with the agency that handled the purchase of the mansion,” he explained. “They confirmed that the mansion was purchased by Darren Hilton himself. He was the one who paid for it.”Joseph's expression became serious.“Darren?”“Yes, sir.”Joseph narrowed his eyes.“How much did he pay?”“More than five hundred million dollars.”Joseph stared at him in disbelief.The information was becoming more difficult to understand.“If the Hiltons have lost everything, where did Darren get that kind of money?”“That is what I have been trying to find out.”The man paused before continuing.“I also investigated what they have been doing since they returned to the city. I discovered something important.”Joseph leaned forward.“What?”“They have found a loophole.”“A loophole?”“Yes. A way to legally take back almost everything you took from them.”Joseph's face immediately darkened.“What kind of loophole?”“I
CHAPTER 410
Darren stood in front of Marcus and looked at him calmly.For several seconds, Marcus could not bring himself to meet Darren's eyes.He had already realized that there was no way out of the situation. The chief lawyer had made it clear that he had to honor the agreement, and Darren was not going to forget the bet.Darren finally spoke.“Kneel.”Marcus's face turned red with embarrassment.For a brief moment, he wished the ground would open beneath him and swallow him completely.He looked around the room.Almost everyone was watching him.Some of the junior lawyers had their phones in their hands, while others were trying to hide their excitement.Marcus took a deep breath.He had no choice.Slowly, he lowered himself and knelt in front of Darren.The room became completely silent.Darren looked down at him.“Are you ready?”Marcus swallowed.“Yes.”His voice was barely audible.Darren raised his hand.The next moment, his palm came across Marcus's face with tremendous force.Smack!M
CHAPTER 409
For a few seconds, nobody in the conference room said anything.The amount of one hundred and fifty million dollars seemed to hang in the air.Marcus looked at Darren with a confident smile. He was already certain that the young man would find an excuse.He slowly stood up from his chair.“All right,” he said.He unbuttoned his suit jacket and took it off, placing it over the back of his chair. He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and stretched his arms.Several people in the room started laughing.Marcus shook his hands as though he was preparing for a boxing match.“I hope you are ready,” he said mockingly. “You agreed to three slaps, so I am going to make sure I keep my part of the deal.”Jeff looked uncomfortable.He glanced at Darren and lowered his voice.“Young Master, there is still time to reconsider.”Darren looked at him calmly.“There is nothing to reconsider.”Marcus smiled.“Do not worry, Jeff. I will not hit him too hard.”A few people laughed again.Marcus looked at D
CHAPTER 408
One of the lawyers suddenly lost his patience. He leaned forward and looked directly at Darren with an angry expression.“How dare you speak to us like that?” he asked. “You come into this chamber after your family has lost everything, and you stand there bragging as if you still have the power you once had. Do you even hear yourself?”Darren remained completely calm.He did not argue with the man, and he did not allow the lawyer's words to provoke him. He simply looked at him and asked, “How much do you charge?”The lawyer stared at him for a few seconds.His anger slowly turned into a mocking smile.“My name is Marcus Hale,” he said. “And since you seem so interested in knowing our fees, I will tell you exactly how this is going to work.”Jeff immediately became uncomfortable.“Master—”Darren raised his hand slightly, asking him to remain quiet.Marcus leaned back in his chair.“You want the three of us to take your case, correct?”“Yes.”“Very well. Let us make a deal.”Darren loo
CHAPTER 407
The next morning, Jeff was preparing to leave the mansion when Darren saw him walking toward the entrance with a folder in his hand.“Jeff, where are you going?” Darren asked.Jeff turned around and saw him approaching.“I am going to meet with some lawyers. I have arranged a meeting with one of the best law chambers in the country, and I want to discuss our case with them.”Darren nodded thoughtfully.“Can I come with you?”Jeff looked slightly surprised.“Of course, Young Master. I was actually going to ask you to join me later, but if you are ready now, we can leave together.”Darren nodded.“Give me a few minutes.”A short while later, Darren and Jeff left the mansion together.They entered a waiting car and headed toward Austagon Chamber.The journey did not take too long, but Jeff spent most of the time going through the documents in the folder. Darren sat quietly beside him, occasionally looking through the window.Austagon Chamber was one of the most respected law chambers in
CHAPTER 406
Henry looked around the conference table and noticed the growing concern on the faces of the members. He understood what they were thinking, and he did not want them to believe that he was incapable of handling the situation.“You do not need to worry about Darren Hilton,” Henry said confidently. “I will take care of him myself. I only need a little more time.”One of the members frowned.“You have already had enough time, Henry. We gave you our support because you promised that you could handle everything.”“I know,” Henry replied. “And I have not forgotten that. Give me a little more time, and I will remove Eddie from the picture. Once Eddie is gone, there will be no one left who can challenge my control of Murphy Group of Companies.”A woman sitting across the table folded her arms.“And what about Darren?”Henry looked at her.“I will deal with him as well.”The woman studied him for a moment before looking toward the others.“What do the rest of you think?”Nobody responded imme
