"Derila, Derila..."
Layla called out, leaning against the window.However, Derila ran away without looking back.
In the car, the nobleman and his subordinate were dumbfounded.
Looking at how agile Derila was, they finally realized that she was not just an ordinary doctor.
Derila leaped down from the car and climbed up to a military vehicle in a nimble manner and followed it back to the castle.
Meanwhile, a fierce fight had begun in the castle.
Frank was well aware of Daemon's aloof and arrogant temperament, but he did not expect the latter to be so hard to deal with.
Not only that Daemon had fallen out with him on the spot, but he even brought his men to fight against those from the military.
Besides, Daemon had even blown up his banquet hall.
Frank felt greatly humiliated by that.
Initially, Frank had warned Daemon by bringing up the matter involving Penny, trying to pressure him.Yet, Daemon had remained unfazed and even brought his fiancée to the banquet.
Frank had tried to oppress Daemon with his power in an attempt to assert dominance and make the latter give in.However, he had not expected Daemon to fight back.Now, everyone who was present at
the banquet would know how the vice president had set up a trap to repress Daemon on purpose, forcing the latter to retaliate.
The consequences would be dire if the news reached the public.Frank immediately told his subordinates to keep the guests calm.
At the same time, he brought some men along to go after Daemon personally.
Penny heard about the commotion and rushed over to inquire, "Mr.Adams, what's wrong? How did everything turn out like this?"
"Daemon is too arrogant! He didn't even take me seriously at all.I must teach him a good lesson today!"
Frank exclaimed furiously.
"Don't do this..."
Penny persuaded anxiously.
"I was the cause of this matter.Let me talk to him."
Penny still thought Frank and Daemon had fallen out with each other because of her.
In fact, Frank had not mentioned anything about her.If Daemon did not care about Penny, it was pointless to take Penny as the pawn.
"Get out of my way!"
Frank paid no heed to Penny and stormed out with his men.
"Mr.Adams-"
Penny wanted to go forward and stop him, but Gerard grabbed her and said, "Don't get yourself involved.Since the situation has become like this, there's nothing you can do to turn things around"
"I caused this to happen.How can I just do nothing?"
Penny struggled, trying to walk out.
Gerard could not be bothered to explain further and instructed his subordinates to take Penny away.
Kevin came forward and asked in trepidation, "I bet it's not going to be easy to put an end to such a big ruckus."
"I really didn't expect Daemon to be this stubborn! I was thinking if Mr.Adams' move could force Daemon to back down.I certainly didn't expect..."
Gerard was flustered, too.
"You two have gone too far this round."
Holliga scoffed, "No matter who's the winner, none of you will benefit from this.Besides, you've made the wrong bet.Frank is no match for Mr.Lierger!"
"What?"
Gerard was baffled.
"Did you get something wrong here? This is the vice president's turf, and there are so many soldiers out there.Frank will definitely take Daemon down.It's just that he might have trouble dealing with the public's comments!"
"Exactly!"
Kevin concurred as he always did.
"Just wait and see!"
After leaving behind those words, Holliga headed out to watch the fight.
"What did he mean?" Gerard asked anxiously.
"He was just exaggerating the matter to scare everyone.Just ignore him."
Kevin was unbothered.
"But this guy is too much.Isn't he supposed to take our side?"
"I think he's a cunning person.He's trying not to offend either side, and he will side with anyone who takes the upper hand."
Gerard stated apathetically.
"Once Mr.Adams is done dealing with Daemon, we will take him down.By that time, there will be one less person to split the shares of Lierger Corporation!"
"Okay!"
