Daemon knitted his brows when he heard that voice.He turned around and saw Holliga slowly walking toward him.
"How did you know that I'm here?" Daemon shot him a cold glare and questioned.
"When there's a will, there's a way." Holliga grinned.
"The entire company is looking for you, and they needed a representative to be the bad guy.Who else could it be besides myself?"
"The three of you could easily join hands and chair the meeting" Daemon said curtly.
"I'll catch up when I can." He did not want to elaborate further.
"Fine."
Holliga smiled, not wanting to argue with him.
"You're the one in charge, whatever you say, goes.I'm just a messenger for all the shareholders.All right, my duty is done"
"Leave then" Daemon urged impolitely.
"Okay!"
Holliga shrugged and walked away.
A few steps later, he turned around and asked, "By the way, is everything all right with Ms.Riri?"
Daemon said nothing.
He merely narrowed his eyes and stared daggers at Holliga, who then caught the hint and left with a pursed lips.
When he had finally disappeared, Harrison asked under his breath, "Could it be him?"
Everything that had happened throughout the day was Clearly carefully orchestrated by someone.
The other party followed Derila all the way and abducted her as soon as she got off the car.
In addition, they were fully armed and even destroyed the surveillance cameras at the entrance to the airport in advance.
The clues suggested that it was not an act of one person only.
"I'm not sure." Daemon frowned.
"If it was him, he wouldn't have the courage to come see me in public.Then again, I doubt there's anyone else who is so bold and ambitious to do such a thing."
"Anyway, Charles is investigating the case.We might be able to get more information once the few guys are awakened." Harrison comforted him.
"Mr.Lierger, are you sure you don't want to attend the meeting? Don't worry about Ms.Feroma since the doctors are with her."
"I'll decide when Ellen is here to confirm the treatment plan." Daemon checked the time.
"Go and call her again."
"Noted."
Right then, another subordinate rushed in and reported, "Mr.Lierger, Prince William is here."
"Usher him into a room downstairs and wait for me there." Daemon gestured.
"Yes, Mr.Linderberg."
Shortly after Daemon got himself changed, he made his way to the room next door and found an anxious William there.
"How is she?" the latter queried immediately and wheeled himself closer to Daemon.
"You knew her identity already?"
Daemon answered with a question.
"Yes."
William came clean with him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you.It's just that the situation was a bit tricky.Once her identity is exposed, I'm afraid it will invite a lot of troubles."
"Telling me about it doesn't count as exposing her identity unnecessarily."
Daemon looked right into his eyes.
"You're right." William nodded.
"However, she doesn't want you to find out about that.Hence, I have to help my friend keep a secret."
"Friend?" Daemon asked mockingly.
"Well, she's my fiancée!"
He purposely included the term to subtly remind and warn William who Derila was.
Stunned, William quickly explained himself, "You know that I don't have many friends except for you and Derila.I don't harbor any ulterior motives.Derila is a friend, and she will always remain a friend."
His words soothed Daemon.
The icy aura in his eyes gradually dissipated...
"How is she?" William asked again.
"Nothing too serious."
Daemon gave him a laconic reply.
"She might need a brain surgery.Anyway, I'm still waiting for Ellen to get here."
"I doubt Ellen is able to solve her problem."
William furrowed his brows and continued, "It's ironic that a miracle doctor like Derila can't heal herself..."
"Ellen is of no help?"
At that point, Daemon finally realized the severity of the problem.
Though he was the one who hit Derila with a car, Harrison was the person who cleaned up the mess and settled everything on his behalf.Therefore, Daemon had very little knowledge about the details.
