Although his question sounded polite, it was filled with a vicious and murderous intent…
Carl's words reminded him of himself back then. When Elina brought him back, she suffered the brunt of suspicion.
People would confront her each day and scold her for bringing a b_stard like him back to the Lierger family. Some even wanted to chase her away.
However, Elina ignored the voices opposing her and insisted on keeping him in the family, against all odds.
She even held a family conference and announced to everyone that if anyone dared to touch Daemon, they would be opposing her. In that case, she would protect him with her entire life!
At that moment, Elina was like a goddess to the young Daemon.
Now that the same thing was happening right in front of him, he felt enraged.
Unlike others, he was not the type to take precautionary measures and care about the bigger picture. Rather, he did things recklessly. Once he had his mind set on something, no one else could convince him otherwise.
That was his style—aggressive and simple.
"No, that's not what I mean…" Carl panicked so much that he started sweating. "I'm here to discuss with you, Mr. Lierger, so don't be angry."
Although Carl was an elder and Daemon treated him with respect, he knew Daemon's temper well. If Daemon was enraged, he would not care about age or status.
As long as he felt unhappy, he would fall out with the other person immediately.
"It's just a casual question, " Daemon smirked. "That child is like me, so I like him. If I don't have a child, I might let him inherit the Lierger Corporation!"
"Um…"
Carl was surprised, for he did not expect Daemon to have such plans.
Actually, he had heard rumors about Daemon having an illegitimate son. However, he did not know if they were true. Daemon had never mentioned it before, so he did not dare to ask about it either.
However, regardless of what happened, it was impossible for Daemon to let a child from the Giblo family inherit the Lierger Corporation.
"I never care about blood relations or status. Those worthless things don't matter to me! Once I've made up my mind, no one else can change my opinion."
Daemon continued indifferently, "Also, that child might return to the Giblo family to become their heir after a short while. Your worry is meaningless!"
"Return to the Giblo family?" Carl was confused. "Didn't Carla say that she has already discussed with Zayn and established that the child will be staying with her?"
"That's what they discussed, but things are always unpredictable…"
A gloating look flashed across Daemon's eyes. However, he did not continue speaking and changed the topic instead.
"Anyway, this child can inherit both the Giblo family and the Lierger family. He couldn't care less about the Laurent family's assets!"
Although he might sound arrogant by saying this, it was the truth.
Rendered speechless, Carl had no choice but to clear his throat to hide his embarrassment. "That's not what I meant. I'm just afraid that Zayn might create some trouble…"
"Let's discuss it when he actually does something…" Daemon placed his wine glass down, got up, and prepared to leave. "Even if he actually comes, I'm still here. What's there for you to fear?"
"You're right." Carl nodded profusely.
"You've been busy for the entire day. Go back to the guest room and rest for a while." While walking out, Daemon said politely, "I have to leave now. I'll come back in the afternoon to send you off.
"Okay."
As Carl watched Daemon leave, the fear within him dissipated gradually.
He heaved a deep sigh. This man is so hard to deal with…
At that moment, he suddenly thought of Zayn. Although Zayn was also extremely domineering, he would still be concerned about the bigger picture and the families' reputation. Hence, he would not cause a conflict so easily.
However, Daemon was different. He never acted rationally—everything depended on his mood.
Still, when he said that things are unpredictable, what does that mean?
