Semua Bab The Consortium's Heir : Bab 171 - Bab 180

Darius heard the woman’s breathing speed up even more, showing her nervousness.He looked pleased with himself, and he stood up straighter. “I’m also guessing that she’s quite pretty and has blond hair. She’s probably also wearing a white lace mask.”The woman heard this. She wondered how he could tell what her hair was like from this angle and whether she’d accidentally left a strand behind. She was so focused on this train of thought that she didn’t register what he’d said about the mask.By the time she did, it was too late. The curtains before her were suddenly drawn, and her mind went blank.It was good that Darius had prepared for this situation—the woman let go of the window and started falling from the twenty-eighth floor.Fortunately for her, Darius caught her and dragged her back up into the office. The sudden rippling of his muscles made his brand-new shirt tear open.When the woman fell to the floor, her chest pressed against his bare arm, and her top was extremely low-cut. She l

She pulled her phone out of her pocket as she spoke. She kept a hand over her gaping mouth for the next ten minutes. After a long while, she turned to look at Darius, “I’m so sorry about this. I had no idea you were so unfortunate.”Darius’ expression turned cold. No one had ever described him as unfortunate before. His lips couldn’t stop twitching. He couldn’t even think of the right words to describe his feelings. In the end, he chose to remain silent.This didn’t mean that his office was silent as well. Doris’ voice was getting louder and louder.Darius crossed his arms and leaned against the wall while observing her. She was pretty and had plenty of room to grow, but how she made a living limmited her potential. That wasn’t good, and he couldn’t just stand aside and watch while it happened. So, he walked out of the room while she continued screeching.He said, “Erin, I need you to find her an appropriate community college.”Erin was a bit suprised. She knew Darius was kind, and even if

Doris didn’t say anything else until they reached the college’s entrance. When she heard Erin start to drive away, she suddenly spun around and cupped her hands around her mouth before shouting, “Mr. Reid, I really do like you! I’ll be here, and you can come over any time!”Her invitation was so obvious that it made Darius’ vein twitch. His abilities only made her voice sound louder in his ears.“Man, I was just thinking of going after her. Look at her face and those legs! Who would’ve known she’d be the type of woman to publicly confess her love for some rich man!”“Oh, my God! There’s another gorgeous woman in the car!”“Come on, forget about it. Let’s go. We obviously don’t stand a chance here.”Darius raised an eyebrow when he saw the young men standing nearby stalk off. He seemed to understand what Doris was up to now. Sure enough, when he glanced at her, he saw her cheeky smile. He didn’t even need to think to know what had happened—she’d used him!To his surprise, he didn’t fee

Erin had stepped out of the car the moment Zack showed up. When she saw Darius walk toward the car, she hurriedly said, “Mr. Reid, I think I’m needed at the company.”Darius nodded. “That’s fine. I can drive, and I’m definitely safe on my own.” He got into the driver’s seat and stretched an arm out, resting it against the window. He closed his eyes and let out a deep breath before driving off.Erin remained rooted to the spot, only moving when he was out of her sight. When she turned around, she was greeted by the sight of a face, which frightened her. She backed away, slapping a hand over her mouth to ensure she wouldn’t make a sound.Zack touched his face, feeling a little exasperated. He walked toward her, saying, “I know you’re madly in love with Mr. Reid, and my face can’t compare to his, but it’s not bad enough to terrorize you like that, is it?”Erin had already calmed down. She rolled her eyes at him and said, “I have plenty of work to do. Also, I’m not in love with Mr. Reid; I jus

Pearl wasn’t sure whether she’d guessed correctly. She stood up and walked to the study, seeing Darius' fingers flew over the keyboard so quickly that she could barely see them.She leaned against the door, unable to stop herself from laughing. “Do you need my help? I’m willing to help you because of the favor you did the Chamberlain family.”The only reply she got was the clicking of the keyboard’s keys. Darius didn’t even spare her a glance, let alone answer her. It made her feel a little awkward. She finally walked over to him. She looked at the monitor and said, “To repay your kindness, I’ll stay here with you until you’re done with your dissertation.”Only then did Darius look up at her, his eyes frosty. “I’m busy now, so please remain silent. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee I’ll be as mild-mannered as I am right now.”This was the first time someone had spoken to her like that. A hint of displeasure flashed across her face, but it quickly disappeared. If she were in his shoes, she’d be
