Chapter 43

Everyone instantly turned to look at the figure who alighted from the stylish sports car. The car itself was

so intimidating. They immediately knew that the owner was definitely not an average person! When the

figure fully alighted from the car, everyone’s jaw instantly dropped. They couldn’t believe what they were

seeing.

The figure was very handsome, with masculine features and a very attractive face to boot. His three

piece suit was impeccable and so was the diamond Rolex wristwatch on his wrist.

The figure was none other than Darius Reid. “Woah! So handsome!”

“Is he a student in either of the universities?”

“I don’t know. Although he looks very familiar, I’m sure that I haven’t seen him somewhere before.”

“He must be someone very important that’s for sure!” While others were still struggling to remember if

they had seen or met Darius before, Sarah was studying the new rich newcomer closely. Although she

was taken aback by how attractive he looked, she couldn’t shrug the feeling of familiarity she felt when

she looked at him.

Darius paid everyone who were staring at him no heed. He had arrived in a classy way so it was

expected that he was the centre of attention. He was about to walk towards the hotel lobby when he

suddenly heard his name being shouted.

“Darius?!”

Darius stopped and turned to face the direction he heard his name. There he saw Sarah his ex girlfriend

with her arms linked with David. There were also two people who stood where David and Sarah stood.

The male was equally as handsome as David while the lady beside him was also beautiful.

He maintained the cold expression on his face when he saw Sarah’s arm linked with David’s. After all

these while he had finally gotten over his love for Sarah. He no longer wanted to be in a relationship of

any sorts with her. She had left him for someone else and had probably moved on. It was time for him to

move on too.

The name that Sarah called out wasn’t just audible to Darius. It was audible to everyone present as the

atmosphere before Darius’ arrival was very tense. For that reason they were able to hear when Sarah

called out Darius name.

“Darius?” Someone muttered. For some reason the name sounded very familiar to them, just as the

newcomer also looked familiar to them.

There was another brief silence, and as if struck by lightning, everyone’s eyes suddenly widened as if

they had suddenly received a realization.

“Darius? As in Darius Reid?!”

It was unknown who shouted it, but once the person did, everyone instantly focused their wide eyes on

Darius.

“Are you kidding me?!”

“My God! It is truly him!”

The rich newcomer who arrived in a very fancy and expensive looking sports car was none other than

the well known peasant in the whole of Kingston University, Darius Reid!

Everyone gazed at Darius in disbelief. It was no wonder that they couldn’t recognize him at once. He

looked completely different from the image they had of him in their minds.

Both David and Sarah looked at Darius with shock visible on their faces. They couldn’t believe their

eyes.

The Darius they knew was someone who could barely afford a meal of $50 and was someone who was

unable to bring out $200 to donate to charity. How on earth could someone like that arrive to this charity

gala looking very classy and in a very fancy car at that?!

Sarah was the most shocked out of the two. She was someone Darius had courted for over six months

therefore she was very sure that Darius was a poor and miserable person. He was someone who could

barely feed himself! How on earth did he become someone who was able to drive a very fancy car to the

charity gala?! Not only that, he was also twice as handsome as he was before!

Sarah’s gaze turned incredibly cold. She glared at Darius with fire burning in her eyes. She couldn’t

believe that Darius became incredibly rich overnight. Instead she believed that Darius had been rich all

the while he courted her and just pretended to be poor so that he could test her loyalty to him. Sarah

didn’t regret leaving Darius for David. She was very satisfied with her relationship with David. Rather she

was very angry at the fact that Darius hid his wealth all these while and pretended to be poor. She

thought that he was just playing her. Little did she know that Darius became rich only recently.

Her hatred for Darius grew exponetially. She now hated Darius with every bone in her body. She just

wanted to see him miserable and poor just like he was before. She didn’t want Darius to be happy at all.

She wanted him to suffer.

David and Chad had broken off their stare off because of the newcomer. If they were being truthful to

themselves they were slightly intimidated by the newcomer, but they could not show it, otherwise they

would be admitting defeat.

Meanwhile Chad’s girlfriend Anna Carrington was smitten instantly by Darius. As a student of Lockwood

University she had no idea of Darius’ past as a poor and miserable student in Kingston University, so

when she saw how cool he looked when he arrived in a fancy sports car and how handsome he was she

was instantly smitten by him.

When Anna felt Chad’s gaze on her, she instantly removed her attention from Darius. Chad looked at her

with a frown before making his way to the hotel lobby with Anna following closely, but not before glaring

at Darius. David and Sarah repeated the same gesture as Chad and his girlfriend, making their way to

the

hotel lobby but not before glaring at Darius. Darius, obviously, had no idea what they thought of him and

didn’t care. He handed the key to a valet who had approached him before making his way to the hotel

lobby with a cold smil on his face. He was looking forward to the charity gala’s main event. It was there

he would display the power of a Reid.
