Daemon was a little surprised. Zayn always had been an arrogant person, and Daemon never took him seriously. No matter what, Zayn was indeed a prominent figure in the corporate world. However, the once insufferable man actually took the initiative to bow his head and confess his mistakes.
It was truly surprising.
"Fortunately, everything has been resolved. I will clean up the rest by myself. I won't make Carla worry anymore!"
Zayn raised his teacup and smiled at Daemon. "Can I have more tea, my dear brother-in-law?"
"Don't call me that. It sounds awful."
Daemon frowned. His expressions were cold and arrogant. At the same time, he gracefully lifted the teapot and refilled Zayn's teacup.
"Haha!" Zayn kept calm and smiled gently. Then, he asked with a concerned look, "How's the situation at Lierger Corporation?"
"Everything is going according to plan, " Daemon blurted and was taken aback. He wasn't supposed to respond to Zayn's question. However, he involuntarily answered him.
It was probably because Zayn unknowingly broke the ice between them, making them seem like a family discussing family matters.
"That's good." Zayn nodded. "If there is anything you need me to do-"
"No." Daemon interrupted him coldly to establish a distance with Zayn. "We don't need an outsider to intervene in the Lierger family matters."
As he spoke, the air immediately became frigid and tensed.
Brandy, who was waiting by the side, looked at Zayn anxiously. Zayn had already put his pride aside, but Daemon was still treating him arrogantly. He was worried that Zayn might get angry.
"You have misunderstood!" But Zayn didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Now that Giblo Group's shares and assets belong to Carla, Giblo Group is under her control. She's not considered an outsider if she were to help Lierger Corporation, right?"
Daemon was startled. He raised his head and stared deeply at Zayn's eyes, trying to see through his motives.
"When you were poisoned, you transferred your assets to Carla to protect the Giblo Group and your children's inheritance. Don't you plan to take it back now that you've returned?"
"We're a married couple, so it doesn't matter, " Zayn smiled and said, "It is only right for my wife to help her family."
Daemon was rendered speechless for a moment. He didn't know what to say. Zayn's words were simply too cheesy. He had the impression that Zayn wanted to enchant him with beautiful words so that he would let Randy go.
But after thinking about it, he realized that there was no need for Zayn to do this. After all, he wouldn't hurt Randy or detain him forever.
If Carla ever came crying for her child back, he would comply with her wishes. After all, he was her brother, and he wouldn't be this cruel to his sister.
However, he still couldn't grasp what Zayn was trying to achieve.
Suddenly, Daemon had a realization. He said coldly, "Did you put away your pride and deliberately tried to please me so you could have Derilo to continue to treat you?"
"Haha!"
Zayn suddenly laughed as if he heard something funny.
"What are you laughing about?" Daemon frowned.
Zayn slowly took a sip of tea and fidgeted with the teacup. Then, he said amusingly, "You speak as if you have control over Derilo."
"You!" Daemon was suddenly rendered speechless by his words.
"Derilo is domineering and unruly by nature. It's not easy to bring her to heel, " Zayn smirked and said, "To deal with her, you have to coax her. Brutish methods won't work!"
"Nonsense!" Daemon glared at Zayn. "As if you understand her very well."
