Chapter 146

Chapter 146 “Darius Reid?!” Mr. Joseph questioned in disbelief. As the General Manager of Torrent Automobiles he was considered a part of the upper echelon in the company, so there was no way he hadn‘t heard of the Reid Consortium.

It was a financial group that Torrent Automobiles could never hope to compete with, as just one of the companies under the Reid consortium was more than enough to completely crush Torrent Automobiles, which was a second class company at most.

Moreover, according to his boss, there was now a new chairman in the Reid Consortium, and he distinctly remembered that the chairman‘s name was Darius Reid. If this young man in front of him was truly the chairman of the Reid Consortium, then he had to adjust his attitude immediately!

“Do you know me?” Darius asked calmly, arching one of his eyebrows at Mr. Joseph‘s sudden attitude change.

“Of course Mr. Reid! How could I not know you?” Mr. Joseph said cheerfully; completely changing his attitude. His sudden change in attitude shocked everyone present; and even Director Yul was taken aback at Mr. Joseph’s attitude change.

The Mr. Joseph she knew was a very arrogant and conceited person; and he rarely treated anyone with respect; but he was now being so servile to someone, and moreover, the person was even more than a decade younger than him!

This was completely astonishing! The person most affected by the change was none other than Dr. Hills. A bad premonition suddenly overshadowed him when he saw how respectful his backer, Mr. Joseph was behaving to Darius.

“That makes things easier then.” Darius said slowly; a small smile now appearing on his face.

“What do you think about my earlier suggestion? Would you give me some face and cut my friend here Director Yul some slack?”

Darius asked calmly, a small smile on his face. “Director Yul right here is your friend?” Mr. Joseph asked; a surprised expression appearing on his face.

“Yes.” Darius replied flatly. “Ah. Of course she is.” Mr. Joseph said respectfully. He then turned to Director Yul and performed a very shocking act.

He bowed his head down in apology!

“Forgive my actions earlier Director Yul. I was in the wrong. I will accept any room the hospital wishes to allocate to me. From now on, treat me like you would a normal patient.

There is no need for the special privileges anymore.” Mr. Joseph said in a sincere tone.

For a moment, Director Yul, Dr. Hills, and everyone present couldn‘t open their mouth to say anything as their brains failed to register the sight in front of them. ‘Mr. Joseph bowed his head to a mere Director in the hospital?‘

‘In addition, he even apologized to her?‘

‘Is this the same Mr. Joseph I know?‘

These were the thoughts running through their mind as they watched the sight in front of them. If they weren‘t here when this happened, they would never have believed such a thing could happen no matter what.

If it were anyone else, they wouldn‘t be as shocked as this; but Mr. Joseph was a major shareholder in the hospital with a 25%

stake in the company! This made it completely different.

Finally, Director Yul came to her senses, so she quickly helped Mr. Joseph up and said in a meek voice.

“There is no problem at all Mr. Joseph. I will make sure you have one of the best rooms to yourself.” Director Yul promised.

What a joke. How could Mr. Joseph, a major shareholder in the hospital demand to be treated the same way as other patients?

That was completely unreasonable, so there was no way she would let that happen.

Mr. Joseph then raised his head up and smiled respectfully to Darius; before turning his gaze on Dr. Hills who had sweat running down his back.

“Why didn‘t you tell me that someone else has already paid for the hospital room? Are you trying to paint me in a bad light?!” Mr.

Joseph questioned Dr. Hills angrily.

Dr. Hills wanted the ground to open up and swallow him at that moment. He couldn‘t understand how something that was supposed to end how he expected it to suddenly spiraled out of his control.

“But Mr. Joseph, you told me to get you a hospital room in five minutes no matter what. The only way for me to do that was to strip him of his room!” Dr. Hills pleaded pitifully.

However, all he got in return was a heavy slap from Mr. Joseph.

Slap! “How dare you?!” Mr. Joseph yelled furiously, but he kept glancing at the direction Darius stood. He needed to push the blame of his actions to someone else, and since Director Yul was labeled a friend of Darius, Dr. Hills was the most suitable scapegoat.

Dr. Hills probably realized that after the heavy slap, and he plopped down to the ground in disbelief, his hands on his cheeks. Mr.

Joseph didn‘t spare him another glance and turned to Darius before saying in a courteous tone “Don‘t worry Mr. Reid. I will take full responsibilities for my actions by paying for this young man‘s hospital bills. He wouldn‘t have to pay a single dime for his grandmother‘s treatment as all the costs will be borne by me,” Mr. Joseph said courteously, Darius didn‘t say anything in response for a brief moment, and sweat pooled on Mr. Joseph‘s forehead. He had to please Darius no matter what. This was a situation of life and death for him.

Darius merely glanced at the young man in question, and when he saw a surprised yet happy expression on his face, probably glad that he could save money for his grandmother‘s treatment, he turned back to Mr. Joseph and smiled.

“Thank you.” Mr. Joseph let out a sigh of relief at Darius words. It meant that Darius had decided not to push the issue further. It was insane, but since Darius learnt of this issue, the final outcome had always rested in his hands. It was the power that came with him being a member of the Reid family.

“Let me walk you to your room Mr. Reid.” Mr. Joseph said politely, and when Darius didn‘t reject his offer, he gladly accompanied Darius to his hospital room.

The doctors, nurses, patients and Director Yul all gazed at Darius sturdy back as he walked side by side with Mr. Joseph. The whole turn of events of had left them with a crucial question. “Just who was Darius Reid?”
