Nobody else dared to make a move.
The subordinates turned their attention to Daemon.
Daemon's brows were locked in a tight frown.He was about to speak when Derila glared at him furiously.
"What? My words don't count, do they?"
Daemon was fuming with rage, but he clenched his teeth and nodded.
"They do!"
"Release him!"
Derila yelled.
Charles and the others retreated.
Anthony lay on the ground like an overturned tortoise and stared at Derila blankly.
What happened? Why has Derila seemed to become the master of this place? "Get the medical kit? Derila instructed Perry.
Perry looked at Daemon timidly.
Daemon did not answer.
Harrison made a gesture with his hand and Perry said hastily, "Yes."
Then, she hurried to grab the medical kit.
Derila tended to Anthony's wounds in Daemon's presence.Her movements seemed rather intimate.
The flames of wrath were about to ooze from Daemon as he stared at Anthony intently.
Anthony glanced at him meekly and looked away once more.He was shuddering in fear.
Sweat trickled down his forehead continuously and blended with his blood.
"Why are you sweating so much?" Derila wiped his sweat with a wet towel.
Daemon tightened his grip around his cup.
Smash! It was then crushed into pieces.
Anthony was so frightened by the sound that he nearly passed out.
Derila frowned and glared at Daemon.
"Go back to your room."
Daemon cocked his head and stared at her in disbelief.How dare she boss me around?
"I told you to go back to your room."
Derila gave him a kick.
"I'll come over in a while"
Her tone had softened when she uttered the last sentence.
Despite Daemon's displeasure, he still did as he was told.
Before he left, he gave one last bone-chilling stare at Anthony, causing the latter to shiver in fright.
After tending to Anthony's wounds, Derila whispered, "All right, I'll assign someone to take you to Bliss Hotel so that you can meet Layla.Be good, and don't cause a ruckus again."
"Aren't you coming with me, Derila?"
Anthony held her hand, fearing that he would never see her again.
"I..."
Derila pondered over it and answered firmly, "I'm not leaving.Don't you worry about me."
"As for the medical treatment..."
"We'll fly to Aymo City tomorrow to take care of it"
Derila interrupted him and said enigmatically, "Focus on your work, and don't worry about anything else"
What I really mean is that you take care of matters at the orphanage, and stop interfering with my business.
"Does this mean you want to be with him?"
Anthony scanned his surroundings weakly when he uttered that.
Numerous pairs of eyes were on him communicating a nonverbal cue...If you dare to coax the lady of our house into leaving, we'll skin you alive.
"Yeah."
Derila nodded and spoke with a grin.
"I'm the lady of the house now.Didn't you realize this? They obey me."
"Looks like it..."
Anthony did realize it.
Aside from the subordinates, even the terrifying Daemon listened to her.It looked like Derila had scaled the ranks.
From the looks of it, she would not be taken advantage of, no matter where she went.
After all, she had managed to tame Daemon! "Go, then."
Derila patted his shoulder and reminded Charles, "Make sure he reaches the hotel safely.If anything happens to him, I'll hold you responsible"
"Yes, Ms.Feroma"
Charles replied with his head lowered.He respected Derila just as much as he respected Daemon.
"You've got to protect yourself.If you're bullied, or if you break up with him, do tell me about it..."
Anthony spoke.
"Nobody dares to bully Ms.Feroma.Let's go."
Charles grabbed Anthony and pushed him into the car.He feared Anthony would say something to anger Daemon.
Once Anthony was in the car, he put his head out of the window and cried, "Derila, don't forget to get the surgery done as soon as possible.Once it's over, let me know..."
"You talk too much!" Charles rolled his eyes.
"No wonder you always get beaten up!"
