Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Consortium's Heir : Kabanata 651 - Kabanata 660

Then, Darius focused on the screen, his brows slowly furrowing. He didn’t understand how the video could’ve been edited to make it seem like he’d been picking on the girl unreasonably.Erin frowned. “Sir, could the girl be behind this?”Darius shook his head. “I don’t know, but I don’t think she’d be that dumb. This doesn’t benefit her in any way.” He sounded and looked calm, and he walked ahead confidently. Erin tucked her phone away and followed him silently. As they walked out of the VIP passage, they were surrounded by flashing cameras, and several reporters stood in their way. Darius’ brows furrowed tightly as he tucked his hands in his pockets, looking displeased. He turned to Erin and said, “Contact the legal department and have them resolve this immediately.”His eyes were frosty, and he turned to stride forward once again. Erin nodded and pulled her phone out. At this moment, Darius was less than a yard away from the reporters waiting to ambush him. Though Erin was on the ph

Bruce felt his heart start to race when he saw Darius and James hugging each other. He could sense a thin barrier between Darius and the rest of the world, but no matter how thin it was, there was no getting past it. Now, however, things were different. Bruce smiled in relief. James was an old man who’d lost his son and daughter-in-law, but at least they’d left him with a grandson. Unfortunately, an accident caused him and his grandson to be separated for years. Darius and James were each other’s only family left, yet they’d become strangers over the passage of time. Until a month before they’d tracked Darius down, Bruce had lost all hope of ever finding him, but reality had proven that miracles did happen. He was so moved he couldn’t even speak.James had calmed down. He was overjoyed to see Darius, but there were more important matters at hand. He let Darius go; he was still smiling, but his eyes were serious as he said, “Come to the study with me. I have something to tell you, and

“The person who brought the crates over said they were a gift from you and to open them when we were in danger. I hadn’t intended on opening them, but I accidentally knocked one over when taking something else. Only then did I realize there were people in the crates!”Teivel’s breathing sped up. James noticed this, and he fell silent, looking at Teivel nervously. “You don’t look so good right now, which puts me on edge. I also have some questions.”Teivel shut his eyes and took a deep breath to regain his composure. At James’ words, he nodded and said, “Please, go ahead.”James gulped and said shakily, “I’m guessing whatever you commanded them to do is different from what’s actually happened.”Teivel didn’t answer him. Instead, he turned to face James and asked, “Oh? What makes you say that? I should warn you that it won’t do you any good to say whatever you please.”James smiled, looking calm. He said leisurely, “The way you acted toward those people is completely different from how

James stiffened but still tried his best to keep his smile in place. “I haven’t seen your father’s friends in a long while, especially after your parents died. They all had their reasons for leaving.” He took a deep breath; Darius could tell he was upset. James continued, “At the time, I couldn’t accept your father’s death and would’ve appreciated having them around—at least it’d make me feel like he was still alive. I know they weren’t obligated to do anything, but they didn’t even bother attending the funeral. Yet here they are, years later, talking to you about their relationship with your father. I refuse to believe a word they say!” He tried to keep his fury at bay but still couldn’t help trembling. “You can’t trust them fully, so remember to take their words with a grain of salt. After all, there’s no guaranteeing they didn’t befriend your father with a hidden agenda; who knows what they’ve been up to all these years?”Darius had never heard James speak so much before; he was ob

Teivel needed a quiet place where no one would disturb him. Darius waited until he could no longer sense Teivel before landing on the ground. When he did so, the black-robed people slowly opened their eyes and returned to their senses. Some of them started vomiting when they saw the rat blood and scattered parts around them, but this didn’t affect Darius. He said, “I’m sorry to have stumbled upon your secret like this.” The people settled down and trained their gazes on him. He smiled and said, “I think it’s an issue that needs to be resolved.”The leader of the group stepped forward to block the others from view and said lowly, “Everything’s up for discussion as long as you don’t let Mr. Teivel know about this.”Darius raised an eyebrow. “Unfortunately, he already knows.” The leader became ashen at his words, but rage started to burn in his eyes. However, a few seconds later, it was extinguished, and he slumped, dropping his eyes to the ground. Darius’ lips twitched at this. “If yo
