The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1088
Darius didn't say anything. He looked at the man silently. The man smiled and said, "Don't worry. I mean no harm. I'm here to tell you what I can to keep you in the loop. I don't want you to be in danger. That's not something I want to see. I've worked for the Reid family for many years; I even watched your father grow up." He looked at Darius earnestly.Darius lowered his head, remaining silent. The old man didn't let this bother him. He smiled and said, "I saw Hansley here earlier. To be honest, I was surprised to see him. He hasn't been around since your father died. I heard he settled down in the city where your father died. He must have his reasons for doing so."The old man gave Darius a worried look. "I know you're powerful, sir, and I don't know what I can do for you. I don't even know what you want to do. Still, I want you to know that you don't need to feel bad about what you've done, accidentally or intentionally. This is the Reid family's manor; it's your home. You have ab

"Most people believe it to be true. They think you and Chloe have an unspeakable relationship," Erin said.Darius raised an eyebrow. "An unspeakable relationship?"Erin nodded. "Yes, because she's married with a child. The child's 7 years old."Darius' lips twitched. "How old is this actress?""33 this year."Darius fell silent at this. He didn't know what to say. He didn't think anything was wrong with a young man dating a woman much older than him. That didn't mean he was okay with himself being the young man in question.He sighed and narrowed his eyes. "Find out who orchestrated this and what they're trying to achieve. Nip this rumor in the bud as quickly as possible. I don't want to hear anything similar anymore." He shut his eyes.Before he could hang up, Erin said hesitantly, "Hold on, sir."Darius raised an eyebrow and opened his eyes. "What's wrong?"Erin cleared her throat. "Well, the company's share price has been affected by this rumor. It's cost us to lose tens of billion
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1090
When Darius entered Dream Investment Group's building, there wasn't an uproar. No one even stared at him. Most of them glanced at him before looking away. Some watched him for slightly longer because of his good looks. This wasn't what Darius had expected.He raised an eyebrow and put his hands behind his back. He followed the professor to his workstation. The professor gave him a complicated look as he sat down. Then, he said, "I hope you'll have a peaceful internship." He turned and headed to the next intern.It looked like the professor wasn't completely oblivious. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said something like that. His wishes for the other interns were things like "Do a good job" or "I hope you'll have a bright future here". Darius was the only one he'd wished differently. It seemed the professor was already sure he wouldn't have a smooth-sailing internship.Darius couldn't help smiling at this. Things were getting interesting. The professor shouldn't have known about things bet

"Besides, I think what they're saying makes sense," Brett said.Darius' lips twitched. "Oh? You look more like you're enjoying the show, though." He shook his head. He thought this would anger or shame Brett, but he was wrong.Brett looked at him in surprise. "Man, you're smart! I didn't expect you to see right through me. I can't believe you're the one who knows me best. It looks like we'd be great friends!" He looked proud as he continued, "I always knew I was smart. I may not have the best grades, but that hasn't stopped me from befriending the top student in class!"Darius' lips twitched. This was his first time meeting someone like Brett. He hadn't said a word, yet Brett had already imagined a whole scenario on his own. He even looked pleased with himself.Darius shut his eyes and sighed. Then, he looked at Brett seriously. "Alright, it's time for you to keep quiet. If I'm guessing correctly, this is part of our first test as interns." He didn't say anything else after that.Bret

"Or rather, you've never been part of Dream Investment Group," the manager said.Darius watched this with crossed arms. He was curious to know what Dream Investment Group was up to. Why did it need its employees to stay silent? He glanced at his fellow interns to see the one in the lead glaring at him.Darius straightened up and approached the guy. "Why are you looking at me like that? Have I done anything to offend you? You seem very hostile."The guy's eyes widened. Then, he averted his gaze, looking like he was trying to cook up a lie. Darius wouldn't get mad at someone like him. He curled his lip, looking scornful. The guy was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice this.He gulped, then said, "I have something to discuss with you. No, I need your help with something!"Darius raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Let's hear it. I'll do whatever I can to help.""I know you can! Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you for help! Since you're officially an intern here, I'm sure you c

"You should know how humiliating it'd be if things were to reach that stage," Darius said.The rest of the interns didn't look too pleased by this, but they still turned and left. The one who'd caused the most havoc was the last.Before he did, he glared daggers at Darius. "I'll remember this, Darius. Pray that you don't show up on campus or before me. I won't let you off the hook if you do!"Darius raised an eyebrow mockingly. "I think I heard a dog bark, but I can't be sure." He turned to the manager.The manager nodded with a smile. "I think you're absolutely right." He turned to the intern. "I've wasted too much time on you.""Now, I'll give you to the count of three. If you're not in the elevator and on your way out by then, don't blame me for what happens next. You probably won't want to risk it." The manager bared his teeth.Silence descended upon the office once the intern was gone. The manager turned to Darius and Brett. "Now, please stand up and introduce yourselves to the d
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1094
Now, Brett's gaze traveled between Darius and the manager. His eyes were lit up at the prospect of there being gossip. Darius sensed this and held up a palm.He channeled his life force to it and pretended to scratch something. As he moved his hand, something heavy conked Brett on the head, making him fall to the floor. At the same time, Brett cried out in pain.Darius smiled and retracted his hand. "Sorry, I was just scratching an itch." Brett gave him a look of disbelief and pointed at him. His lips trembled, but he didn't say a word.Darius turned away from him. He was worried he'd burst into laughter. With Brett out of his sight, he calmed himself down.When Brett got to his feet, his expression shifted when he found everyone's attention on him. This wasn't what he wanted! He shut his eyes and tried hypnotizing himself. He told himself they couldn't see him if he couldn't see them.Darius knew what he was thinking. He chuckled and said, "You got what you wished for, didn't you? Ev
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1095
Darius smiled at Brett's reaction. At the same time, he was surprised. He thought most people would already know about him.He didn't expect his classmate to be completely oblivious to his identity. Now, no one was paying attention to Brett. They all watched Darius nervously, except the manager.The manager smiled helplessly. "I hate to say this, but you're probably not the best person to work here." He was quite tactful.Darius smiled politely but didn't say anything. On the other hand, Brett almost jumped with indignance. "What are you talking about? What's that supposed to mean?"He glared at the manager. "I get it now—you just don't want anyone to intern here, right? I'm not gonna say anything about the interns you chased away earlier because they're in the wrong. But what about Darius?""He hasn't stepped a toe out of line since entering this building." Brett started trembling with rage. "All he did was introduce himself! He didn't say anything else! Why are you firing him?"He g

"If you hadn't picked on me, I wouldn't have ended up like this. No matter how wealthy I've become, I'll never be able to take these black robes off!" The mysterious man's voice was shaky. He was extremely agitated.James frowned at that. He said curiously, "You keep saying I've done you wrong, but everything I did to you was what you did to others. I only gave you a taste of your own medicine."The mysterious man's breathing sped up when he heard that. He barked out a laugh and sneered, "I'll be honest with you. I never thought I'd have the chance to meet someone as dumb as you again."He shook his head. "I find it hard to imagine what your grandson will do when he sees you like this." As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the door was kicked open with a loud bang. The man was caught off guard. He looked at Darius as his body trembled violently.Darius frowned when he saw this. It was completely different from what he'd imagined. He narrowed his eyes at the mysterious man, his

Gabriel smiled and nodded. "Alright, then. I'll return to my workstation and prepare a proposal on what to do with Noah."Darius nodded and smiled. "Good. That's all I ever wanted." He turned to leave. "You need to get to work, and I need to return to my hotel to get some rest."Gabriel stopped. Darius' words made him hesitate. "I'm sorry to be asking this because I don't think it's my place, but it's probably better for me to ask anyway. I don't remember there being any hotels nearby."You should head home if you wanna get some rest. I don't understand why you're heading to a hotel to rest."Darius raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. He turned with his hands behind his back to look at Gabriel helplessly. "I don't know how to feel about what you've just said. You're making me think you're a little silly. Wouldn't I know how to search for a hotel?"It won't take you long to prepare a proposal, but it'll take me ages to get home from here." Darius turned and left.Gabriel's lips twitc

"Because you realized the risk was far greater than what you were comfortable with," Darius said calmly.But Noah started trembling. He looked at Darius in terror. He didn't expect Darius to see right through him after some simple back-and-forth. His eyes widened in fear.Everything that was happening now made him feel like he was dreaming. Noah had only been a step away from success, yet Darius had ruined everything.Tears filled his eyes as he gazed at Darius. "I've said everything there is to say. I'm the lowest rung on this ladder, and I only have one purpose for being here. It's to make you come under the authorities' control. Once you're here, my mission's accomplished."Someone else from the authorities will be here to deal with you, but that has nothing to do with me. They wouldn't have told me about it, anyway."Darius put his hands behind his back without saying anything. He turned to leave. Noah's eyes widened as he stared in fear at Darius' back.Darius didn't see this, bu
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1158
When Darius straightened up, his face became devoid of emotion. He said calmly, "I've wasted too much time on you. Now, I only want frank answers. Otherwise, I'll punish you for every lie that you tell me. I don't see any hope in your eyes, but let's see whether you prove me wrong."Darius paused, then continued, "I've already said something similar once. That was a chance I gave you. From this moment onward, I want you to know that I won't repeat myself because I believe you've had enough time to prepare yourself."Gabriel stood beside him and put his hands behind his back as his lips twitched. He'd thought about the various reasons for Darius repeating himself. But the one thing that hadn't occurred to him was that Darius had done it to give Noah time to prepare.Gabriel felt like applauding Darius, but the rational side of him stopped him from doing so. His rationality told him he'd be in for trouble if he were to do that, so he only looked at Darius with a smile.Darius sensed Ga

Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled. Then, he said, "You're too nervous, Gabriel. It makes it seem like you don't trust me. In truth, there's nothing for you to worry about."He stretched his neck and continued, "I know very well how bad the consequences of destroying this building will be. Aside from those silly regulations, I'll also need to pay for it. I might be wealthy, but that doesn't mean I'll enjoy forking out a huge sum of money as compensation."Darius spread his hands and shrugged. At the same time, he pointed at the window and turned to look at Gabriel. Then, he said, "Look. The windows are perfectly fine. They're not even scratched. That shows my life force is non-destructive."That's why you have nothing to worry about. You can put your heart back into your chest."Gabriel straightened up and sighed in relief. Then, he gave Darius an embarrassed smile.Darius grinned but didn't say anything in response. He put his hands behind his back and turned to look at Noah. He sai

"We're classmates from the same major, too! We were interns at Dream Investment Group, remember? And we got kicked out on our first day. You broke my legs because of a tiny argument we had outside the building! The surveillance cameras captured all of this!" Noah cried.Darius tucked his hands into his pockets and rolled his eyes. Then, he said mockingly, "You're the biggest fool I've ever met. Do you think you're the only one who can tamper with the surveillance footage? Any footage that can be tampered with can also be restored."Noah's eyes widened in shock. He gulped and tried to think of a way to explain away the injuries Darius had inflicted on him. Still, he couldn't think of anything. Before he had the chance to think any further, Darius spoke.He said, "There's one thing you got right, though. Gabriel is on my side, so he'll stand up for me no matter what you say."Gabriel's lips twitched at that. He subconsciously opened his mouth to say something in return, but Darius bea

"And I don't think it's my job to make you see sense," Gabriel continued. He put his hands behind his back. He gave Noah a look that was an odd mixture of gentle iciness. "I've given you more than enough time and chances."Gabriel sighed. "It's obvious that you don't care for that, though. And so I think it's time for me to treat you as an officer should." He sat down on the other side of the desk again.Noah's face was white with fear. Gabriel acted like he didn't see this, though. He smiled. "As I mentioned, I gave you plenty of time and chances, but you didn't appreciate them."His gaze turned frosty. "If that's the case, I'm sure you won't object to me doing this per our guidelines."Noah cried, "No, wait! I don't know what Darius has promised you to make you side with him unconditionally, but there's no way I'll let you two get away with this. You have to make sure you do everything by the book. It's a reasonable request, and you have no right to turn me down!"He trembled viole

Gabriel put his hands behind his back as he looked at Noah with a smile. "Now, you've piqued my interest."Noah looked up at Gabriel. His voice was deep and hoarse as he said, "If you help me, I'll give you half of the Reid Consortium's assets once I get my hands on them. You should know that without me, there's no way you'll get a dime from the Reid Consortium."Gabriel snorted with laughter when he heard that. He straightened up and slowly circled Noah. He sounded mocking as he said, "You've lost me there. I tried to puzzle it out, but it doesn't make sense at all."Why would I want to get my hands on the Reid Consortium's fortune? Even without it, I'm perfectly independent. I don't need it to survive."Gabriel crossed his arms and looked at Noah mockingly. "Or maybe you're different from the rest of us. Maybe you'll die without the Reid Consortium's wealth." He smirked and gave Noah a sharp gaze.Noah raised an eyebrow and smirked. "You're the one making me laugh now. I don't know
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1153
Gabriel sounded gentle, but everyone knew that was far from the truth. This was especially true for Noah, who sat across from him. He felt incredibly nervous. He shut his eyes and breathed rapidly.Noah never would've expected to still be in danger after being taken in by the authorities. He frowned and looked up at Gabriel. "So, are you determined to help Darius now?" His voice was shaky, and his eyes were wide because of his nerves.His emotions were clear as he looked at Gabriel. Gabriel bit his lip, feeling like he was about to laugh. To stop Noah from noticing, he quickly exhaled and sat down with one leg over the other. At the same time, he leaned forward to place his hands on the desk.He tapped his fingers on the desk quickly but rhythmically. Gabriel's eyes were devoid of emotion as he looked at Noah. "Tell me, Noah. What happened between you and Darius? Earlier, you said he was the one who injured you. Do you have any proof?"Because we checked the surveillance footage, a
