The Consortium's Heir のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 831 - チャプター 840

His eyes carried a hint of warning, but his tone was light as he said to Ursula, "Remember to transfer the money for the car to my account. With your ability, I'm sure you'd be able to find out what my account number is. If you can't, you can just write a check and have it delivered to the Reid family." With that, Darius put the pedal to the metal and sped away, leaving Ursula and the officer coughing from the dust and exhaust fumes.In the car, Darius looked murderous. He'd never been this angry before; it felt like his day had been wasted on freaks. He took a deep breath, shut his eyes, and pressed the bridge of his nose. Now, the only thing he could feel thankful for was the fact that he'd gotten rid of Ursula. At this thought, he frowned and turned to look at the window she'd tried to jump out of—the frame was out of shape. Darius sighed. He'd be lying if he said it didn't bother him, but compared to that, he was more interested in the Evans family. He'd heard of it before and

Since then, they'd braved many dangers together. Zack's company had also gone from being on the verge of bankruptcy to officially being a member of the Reid Consortium. Darius had done his best to protect the livelihoods of many families, which was something most companies would find hard and even impossible. Still, Darius had managed it. This was why Erin couldn’t understand what sort of conditions would’ve been enticing enough to attract Zack to betray Darius for another company.Darius had long since been mentally prepared for Zack’s betrayal. He nodded. "It’s fine. After all, he only joined us when he was backed into a corner. Nothing he did, under those circumstances, would be out of the ordinary. Perhaps joining me was never something he wanted or wished for. Now that he has the means to leave, it’s only normal for him to make such a decision. Of course, it’s also possible that he could’ve been threatened or something along those lines. Save your sorrow and sadness for another

Darius put his hands behind his back and raised an eyebrow, looking baffled. "Uh … correct me if I'm wrong, but Ursula isn't the woman you love, right?""What? No, of course not!" To Darius' surprise, the man shook his head so vigorously that Darius could practically feel the wind he was causing. "No, no, no! I would never! There are plenty of women in the Evans family; even their most influential member is a woman! I'd have plenty of choices if I wanted to pick one of them for myself. Why would I go for Ursula?" He gave Darius a bewildered look. Then, he pouted and said, "I don't understand why you would say that. There are countless people on this earth. Why would I fall for Ursula? Any other woman would be better than her!"Darius could tell the man wasn't kidding. His lips twitched as he wondered what Ursula had done to make everyone get mad at the mention of her name. He reached upward to place his hand on the man's shoulder, then said, "West Atlantics Int'l welcomes you. I hope

Darius turned to look at the people involved in the argument. He had a complicated expression on his face when he heard the entirety of it. The employee who'd served him earlier was extremely kind but was a little bit of a pushover because he'd grown up in squalor. Of course, this wasn't what his personality was originally like. He'd only learned to keep his silence because he couldn't afford to get into arguments with others.Darius' heart raced when he learned this. Once upon a time, he'd been exactly like this employee. However, he'd been fortunate enough to have been reunited with his family when he was at his lowest.At the very least, he knew he hadn't been abandoned, that his squalor had been happenstance due to a series of unfortunate events. He sighed. He'd intended on leaving this place without getting involved in anything, but he knew he wouldn't be able to ignore this.Darius turned around and headed toward the quarreling people. "It's unbecoming of a hotel's employees to

Darius' expression became mocking at his words. "What makes you think I'll believe your lies? None of that sounds realistic. Why didn't you try to flee after being oppressed like that?"The employee paled and shook his head, looking defeated as tears streamed down his face. "You have no idea how many times I tried, but she sent people to trail me. There were people watching me 24/7; even now, everything that we say now will probably reach her ears in no time. She may show up here in a few minutes for all we know … "As an enlightened martial artist, Darius trusted his instincts unconditionally. They told him the employee wasn't lying, and he said, "You don't sound like you're lying, and I'm about eighty percent convinced. I'll get my people to investigate the remaining twenty percent. If you want to leave this place, I can protect you." He smiled at the employee.The employee's heart raced. "Do you mean that? Do you know who this hotel belongs to?" Darius shook his head, making a mask
