Although Ms.Layla can disguise herself well, she's injured now.
Besides, Daemon is watching closely.It would be a daunting task to get me away from the Lierger residence.
In addition, Daemon is cold, ruthless, and vicious.If he catches them, they would be in trouble.
Derila got a headache from thinking about it.Perhaps it was due to the injury, so she fell asleep unknowingly.
Meanwhile, Daemon had arrived at the castle where Donald had been waiting for him for a long time.
When he saw Daemon, Donald quickly stood up and greeted, "Daemon, you've finally returned!"
"What is it, Uncle Donald?"
Daemon took off his coat and changed his boots before heading toward the study room.
"When Mr.Adams came to the company today, he seems to have fallen for Penny." Donald uttered anxiously.
"That's—"
"That's good news!" Daemon interrupted.
"Congratulate them on my behalf"
"Umm..." Donald was stunned momentarily.
"Daemon, are you joking? Mr.Adams has been vying for Lierger Corporation's assets.If he were to marry Penny and unite the three great families, the Lierger family will be left standing alone.When that happens, they might gang up on us."
Daemon went silent after hearing that.
Although he was decisive and competent, he was rather clueless in dealing with schemes and conspiracies concerning familial matters.He knew Frank well, but he had never taken him seriously.
After all, they had never offended each other, and they never stood in each other's way.
Daemon was supposed to be there to entertain Frank's inspection, but he was caught up by what happened with Derila.
Although it was slightly inappropriate, he thought it would be fine, since the other three great families were hosting the conference.
However, he didn't expect something like that to happen during the conference.
Mr.Adams has fallen for Penny? Uncle Donald is right, though.
If Mr.Adams were to have a marriage arrangement with the Pakison family, the three great families will link up with Mr.Adams.
When that happens, the Lierger family will get singled out.
The three great families had never been fond of having me at the helm, and they had been trying to kick me out.
However, they are no match for me.
Things might change if they have Mr.Adams backing them.
"Most importantly, the president is getting old, so Mr.Adams is most probably going to be the successor.When that happens, we won't be able to turn the tide." Donald advised anxiously.
"Daemon, I know you're a proud man, and you've never been a fan of arranged marriages.You have your own ideas, and you're assertive.Besides, you even have a girl you like.No one has a problem with that.However, you bear the fate of the Lierger family on your shoulders, and you are in charge of the future of the Lierger family.At this moment, you shouldn't act rashly."
"What are you trying to say?" Daemon furrowed his brows.
"Speak your mind."
"Okay.Since you've said so, I shall not beat around the bush."
Donald then uttered in a serious tone, "Daemon, we can't let Mr.Adams marry Penny.When both their families joined hands, the Lierger family is doomed.Everyone knows Penny is into you.If you were to act now, she will definitely choose you—"
"Act now? What do you mean?" Daemon interrupted.
"Well, marry Penny." Donald answered quickly.
"If you don't marry her, Mr.Adams is going to marry her.Since Penny is the only girl available in the four great families, she's very sought-after."
"I'm marrying Riri."
Daemon answered firmly.
"I'm not going to change my mind." Donald sighed, and he became frantic.
"Even though you like Riri, that doesn't mean you have to marry her.You can just keep her in the castle.Isn't that the same?"
Upon hearing that, Daemon knitted his brows, and he looked annoyed.
"As the heir of the Lierger family and the person in charge of Lierger Corporation, you have the responsibility to do the right thing.You can't do as you wish—"
