Chapter 254 Please Blame Me ##Benji looked at the ground and said seriously, "Even if I've offended you, I hope this won't
affect your relationship with Kate. She's very innocent, and even if she occasionally does things that are hard to fathom, it's only
because she doesn’t know it's wrong. Her mother left when she was very young, and none of us taught her about these things.
That's why she's so naive. So, please blame me for everything she's done wrong."
After saying these things, Benji seemed to regain his strength. He raised his head and looked at Darius, continuing, "I know
you're a kind and reasonable man."
When he met Benji's eyes, Darius couldn't bring himself to shake his head, but he didn't want to let Benji off the hook so easily.
After a few seconds, he came up with the perfect response-he shrugged, then looked away and focused on Holt, who'd been
waiting for him with his arms crossed.
When he met Darius' eyes, he put his arms down, his gaze mocking. "Are you ready to fight me?" He sized Darius up.1 You
might be poor, but you’re definitely brave enough to do anything for love. It's too bad that I'm your opponent, though."
Holt stretched his neck and said, "You know what you remind me of? A poor, defenseless little chick. I can send you flying with a
single punch, so I'll give you a chance to back out of this.”
Darius sighed, finally out of patience. He was about to make his move when he saw the pleased look on Holt's face.
"I remember you being very argumentative despite your poverty, especially when you were angry. It looks like you've learned to
keep your mouth shut! I suppose plenty of people have taught you the ways of the world, but it's a shame none of them taught
you to respect others." He wiggled his wrists as he spoke.
"I guess that’s a lesson that I'll have to teach you; remember to pay me when this is over, though!"
He immediately threw a punch at Darius’ face after saying that, but Darius didn't even flinch. Kate watched them from the villa,
feeling a cold sweat break out. She wanted to run out there to stop this, but she couldn't. She knew things would only become
more chaotic if she showed up.
Holt's eyes lit up when he saw Darius standing there. He could already see what would happen, and he gulped with excitement.
Then, he felt something brush against his face. After that, he lost his balance before crashing onto the ground, his eyes wide with
shock.
He lay on the ground, feeling like every bone in his body was broken, and he couldn't get up.
He turned to look at Darius with a horrified gaze, and it was only then that he noticed a beautiful yet plainly dressed woman
standing before Darius and looking down at him. Her gaze was so sharp that pain rocked through him when he met her eyes, so
he quickly averted his gaze.
Then, something occurred to him, and he narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, he paled, remembering that someone had once told him
Darius had become Kingston University's
wealthiest person-he was actually from an affluent family but had grown up in poverty due to an accident.
That same person had also warned him not to offend Darius because they were no match for him now.
As this memory surfaced, Holt's pale face turned ashen, and he started to tremble with fear. Darius smiled at him.
"You know. I’m surprised by your sudden change in attitude." This was what he said, but there wasn't a trace of surprise in his
eyes. He merely stood there calmly with his hands
behind his back, saying, "It looks like you know who I am now."
Holt quickly got up, but he didn't stand up. Instead, he knelt before Darius, not even daring to look at him. He nodded and said,
"Yes, I do." He sounded like he was out of strength when he said this-he knew Darius wouldn't let him off the hook. He waited for
Darius to sentence him to death.
Darius leaned back against the villa's door, feeling amused, and it creaked under his weight. Holt started to tremble; the sound
was terrifying to him. Darius could take his life at any second.
The people that Holt had brought with him were stunned. They sized Darius up before turning back to Holt, and one of them said,
"Boss, are you sure you don't have the wrong guy? We've never heard about him before, and there's no way we wouldn't know
anything about him if he were rich or some powerful character."
He sounded so confident that the other men nodded. His words also made Holt-still kneeling on the ground-start to doubt
himself. Had he misremembered?
However, he was careful, so he stood up and bowed in Darius' direction.
"Regardless of your identity, we were still wrong to act the way we did earlier."
