By the time Marina and Daron made it back to Vrufield, it was already the next day.
After they got off the plane, Garret drove over to pick Daron up.

Once they were in the car, Daron asked Marina gently, “Should I have someone drive you home so you can rest up?”
Marina noticed Daron was still as calm as ever, as if Martin taking his position didn’t bother him at all.
She glanced at the time and shook her head, turning down his offer.
“No, I’ll go with you to the office,” she replied.
Daron reached out, took Marina’s hand, and held it in his own. He didn’t insist on her going home and just
nodded.

Reporters had been camped out in front of the Zamora Group’s reception hall since the crack of dawn.
After all, they hadn’t gotten a single word about what was happening before this.
With the Zamora Group about to switch CEOs, all eyes were on them.
It wasn’t until the company dropped an announcement yesterday that the reporters started digging around, and some actually managed to get the inside story.
Turns out, something serious had happened to Daron over in Frency.
The news that Victor had been sued had already spread back to Vrufield, and some reporters even pulled all- nighters to break the story.
By this morning, rumors were flying that Daron had been targeted by a hit. was now seriously injured and stuck in bed. The story was spreading like wildture.
Everyone thought Daron was really done for.

So when Garret drove Daron’s car into the Zamora Group, cruising right past the crowd of reporters, none of them paid any attention at all.
The second branch of the Zamora family was even more anxious than anyone else.
As soon as they heard Daron had landed, they kicked off the press conference half an hour early.
At the press conference, Harris was nowhere to be seen.
Edmund sat quietly beside Matthew, not saying a word.

Matthew took charge, announcing that starting today, Martin would be taking over all of Daron’s responsibilities, and that he was open to supervision from all the shareholders.
Most people weren’t all that interested in who was taking over the Zamora Group.
What really drew the reporters in was the intrigue behind the scenes.
As soon as Matthew finished his announcement, a reporter immediately asked about Daron’s current condition.
Another reporter directly asked if Daron would return to his previous position once he recovered.
Matthew smiled as he answered the reporters‘ questions.
“As long as Daron recovers, he can come back to the Zamora Group anytime he wants,” he said.
“We’ve all seen the amazing things the Zamora Group has achieved under Daron’s leadership over the years. If he returns, he’ll remain at the core of the Zamora Group’s leadership.”
Matthew’s answer was cleverly worded.
The vice president of the Zamora Group was still at the core of the Zamora Group’s leadership, just one rank below Martin.
“But for now, we just hope Daron can focus on getting better,” Matthew said.
“Only when he’s fully recovered can he lead the Zamora Group to an even brighter future,” he added.
As soon as Matthew finished speaking, Daron strode in, leading his team behind him.
His hand was in a cast, and his forehead was still wrapped in gauze.
The moment the reporters spotted Daron, they instantly snapped to attention and swmed toward him.
Matthew furrowed his brow at the chaos, but kept his cool and settled back into l
The press conference was being broadcast live.
Everything they’d just said was already out there for everyone to see.
If Daron caused a scene inside the Zamora Group and stirred up any trouble, he’d have to deal with the fallout himself.
So Matthew wasn’t worried about Daron making a fuss at all.
He was actually hoping Daron would say something that would make the Zamora Group look bad.
That way, Martin could take over without anyone questioning it, just like how Daron had ousted Leo from his position back then.
The moment Martin saw Daron, he started to rise from his seat, but Matthew fixed him with a cold stare.

Seeing that, Martin could only sit tight, keeping his gaze locked on Daron.
Even with his injuries, Daron faced the reporters head–on, cool as ever, answering their questions without missing a beat.
His laid–back attitude sent a clear signal to the reporters. He was still in the game, totally unfazed by everything that had happened.
Turns out, the Zamora family that was supposed to be all about sticking together wasn’t nearly as united as everyone thought.
Edmund was the first to get up from his seat and walk over to Daron.
He had a gentle, almost grandfatherly smile. “Daron, you’re back?”
Daron nodded and greeted him.
“Uncle Edmund,” he said.
Edmund nodded, gave Daron a reassuring pat on the shoulder, and didn’t say much else.
Edmund had always played it safe, never picking sides.
He could go along with Matthew’s plans, but when it really mattered, he’d always show up for Daron.
When Matthew saw Edmund heading over to Daron, his expression soured.
But with all those reporters around, he held back the icy authority he’d usually show within the Zamora family.
One of the reporters, always looking to stir the pot, picked up on the unusual vibe and fired off a question. “It
Mr. Zamora, do you seems those rumors about Mr. Zamora being badly hurt in a car accident were have any issues with the Zamora Group’s decision to switch up its leadership:
As soon as the question was out, every eye in the room locked onto Daron, waiting to see his reaction.
They were hoping to spot any flicker of emotion on his face. But Daron stayed cool as ever, not giving anything away.
“I have no objections,” Daron said.
As soon as Daron spoke, Matthew was inwardly relieved.
With Daron not objecting, Martin’s seat was secure for the foreseeable future. Unless he seriously screwed up, nobody was going to push him out. But Martin had always been squeaky clean, and there was never a hint of scandal.
Once Matthew heard Daron’s answer, he finally got up from his seat, put on a friendly smile, and walked over to Daron to show his concern.
Seeing his uncle stand up, Martin got to his feet as well and followed him over to Daron.

“Looks like you’re not too badly hurt, Mr. Zamora. After a bit of rest, you’ll be back on your feet. So, when you do come back, what position will you be taking at the Zamora Group?” one of them pressed.
Matthew tried to laugh it off and change the subject.
But Daron cut straight to the point.
“I don’t think I’ll be holding any position at the Zamora Group anymore,” he said.
Everyone was stunned, their expressions blank for a moment.
Matthew hadn’t expected that answer at all, and his face changed.
He’d never planned to kick Daron out of the Zamora Group. He just wanted to keep Daron under control and make him keep working for the Zamora family. But now, Daron had just announced he was done with the Zamora Group for good.
Matthew couldn’t help but feel uneasy. If Daron wasn’t working for the Zamora Group anymore, he had no idea what Daron might do next.
‘You really have to keep your enemies close, Matthew thought.
