Chapter 259

Darius knew that meant the hostess wanted to do something vicious or planned to ruin his reputation
and humiliate him.

Despite that, curiosity filled Darius’ mind as he looked forward to seeing what tricks the hostess had up
her sleeve.

Thus, he silently stood there with his arms behind him.

That reaction was not what the hostess expected.Her lips parted slightly in shock, but it only lasted
briefly as she soon snapped out of her daze.

Then, she fished a document from her pocket and revealed it to everyone.

"We invited 120 guests for tonight's banquet, and ‘Darius Reid’ isn't one of them.Furthermore, our
guests have assigned hostesses who will lead them to their seats—but you don’t have a hostess.Not to
mention, you seem unaware of our customs, so I doubt you’ve ever been on the guest list of the Gillette
family’s parties before."

The hostess’ voice grew louder by the second.

"I believe everyone here knows only the wealthiest figures in Almiron city, or any other city, can appear
in our guest list!"

Confusion filled her face as she stared at Darius.She raised both brows and rounded her eyes like an
innocent victim, hinting for the latter to explain.

Because she looked so pitiful, it sparked anger in every male guest present, causing them to scowl at
Darius.



Seeing all those frowns entertained Darius, who did not bother to hide his amusement, so he chuckled
sarcastically.

"I know many of you here have little wealth.You guys assume you're wealthy just because you received
an invite from the Gillette family.That has also caused you guys to overestimate your status in
society.Erin stood aside the entire time, but her jaw fell open right then.She could not believe Darius
had candidly insulted everyone there.Her eyes became glazed with worry, fearing that the men would
attack Darius.Even so, she immediately concealed how she felt, thinking it was unwise to reveal her
emotions since many cameras were recording outside the venue.

She knew grave consequences would await if the cameras captured her faltering emotions.

Hence, she stood behind Darius with a stoic expression.

Even her gaze seemed empty.

Bridget stood beside the former.

Since Bridget had received professional training, she never once revealed how she felt on her face.

Nevertheless, Bridget secretly felt thrilled by the twist of events.

Never did she expect Darius to insult everyone at the venue.

That made her blood rush so much that even her breathing quickened.

Both women’s thoughts were unknown to Darius.He stood rooted to the spot, hands behind his back as
he stared the hostess down.He then spoke with a neutral tone.

"So, let’s talk about why you’re here then."

Something about his eyes felt sharp.



Like a blade, it pierced the hostess, who was too dazed to react.

At the same time, she felt defenseless and began to tremble fervently.She stumbled two steps back,
her eyes glossy with fear as she looked at Darius.

That made Darius’ lips curve upward.

He rolled his eyes at her, taunting, "That pitiful look of yours doesn’t work on me.It’ll probably ignite a
primal desire to protect you from the other men here, but I believe these guys can easily see through
your greedy nature.That’s why you'll never get a happy ending, even though you're working at a
prestigious event like the Gillettes’ party.Your dreams of marrying someone affluent won’t come true
because all of Almiron City’s upper-class bachelors will ostracize you."

The hostess’ once rosy cheeks grew as pale as chalk.She could also sense that al] eyes were currently
on her.

The hostess' chest rose and fell quickly from how flustered she felt.

She met Darius’ gaze and snapped, "You’ve said many things, but they don't make sense to
me.Perhaps you're hallucinating.Of course, why you’ve insulted everyone isn’t any of my concern.I was
merely informing you that you didn’t have an invite, meaning you’re not a guest of the Gillette family, so
you can’t enter."

With that, she straightened her back confidently.

Although she locked eyes with Darius, her gaze still trembled with terror.

Nevertheless, she pointed at the door, ordering, "You have two options now—the first is to leave, or you
can continue to throw a fit.If you choose the second option, I'll call security and have them escort you



out.Although, that’ll be humiliating for you, as I can’t guarantee the guards won’t cause a scene when
kicking you out."

Darius’ hands had returned to his pockets by then.He sighed lengthily before declaring, "I’ve given you
many chances, but it’s clear you don’t care for them."

The hostess could tell Darius was threatening her, so her body trembled even more.Her knees grew
weak like jelly, unable to support her body weight, causing her to fall on her butt.

When the men around them witnessed such a scene, their hearts pounded with outrage.

Not wanting to stand idly by, they turned their heads toward Darius, and one of them voiced their
disapproval.

"That's not very gentlemanly of you! She's only doing her job as a hostess, fulfilling the instructions of
her superior! Don’t you know her future depends on whether she completes her tasks well? Besides,
she could lose her wages for this month and starve! The same can’t be said for you, though—you’re
rich! So, why would you make things difficult for the poor girl?"

The person’s voice rang out speedily, getting his message across in no time while he hid among the
crowd.

Since Darius was an enlightened martial artist, he turned to look everywhere, scanning the faces
around him.
