The Consortium's Heir Chapter 301
“Also, why hasn’t anyone tried to confirm whether he’s dead or alive? The bulk of your family was in a hurry to publicly announce his death after failing to contact him. Not to mention, you and your family members wasted no time battling over your family’s inheritance,” Darius added. He leaned against the car, eyes boring into Austin with curiosity.Only Austin could see the former’s expression as he lay on the ground, facing directly at Darius, who looked down at him. His eyes darted left and right as he thought, “Shit. I’m in deep trouble now. This guy’s right—no one has bothered to look for my nominal father, even though it’s been a while since he vanished. The only people searching for him are my stupid stepsister and this guy. However, I’m pretty sure Kate doesn’t know him because she’s an idiot. Contrarily, this guy clearly has superior wealth and abilities. Guys like him would never associate themselves with Kate, who only invites trouble into her life. That must mean this gu

Austin was still on the ground, his eyes glassy with fear. Edward had guessed every word he intended to say. However, the way Edward said those words made them sound less threatening. “Unless… he and that other guy earlier were never afraid of my family in the first place,” Austin thought. Realizing that, he quickly turned to look at Darius, who now sat in the car. He continued to ponder, “This man owns the latest gun model, which comes with a hefty price tag. It’s enough to purchase at least a quarter of Anderson Group’s shares! If I hadn’t accidentally seen the gun earlier, I wouldn’t have realized it was such an expensive model!”He then propped himself off the ground, sitting upright while still trembling. Throughout the process, he cautiously eyed Edward. He knew Edward was a skilled fighter and was worried the latter would stop him from trying to talk to Darius.If that were to happen, he would never get the chance to see Darius again. Fortunately, things went smoothly; Austin

Darius seemed very composed and did not even open his eyes while he nodded. Then, he opened his eyes, saying, “I’ve considered the possibility of this.”He rested his arm against the car window, fists curling as he continued wearily, “Given Austin’s age, he wouldn’t have the guts to behave this way if he didn’t have someone influential supporting him. Not to mention, he could never afford such an expensive sports car.”His deduction garnered a sharp inhale from Erin.“Judging from his looks, someone must’ve told him about his relationship with William not long ago while spoiling him rotten to gain his trust. When I got close to him earlier, I noticed he had sunburn marks on his body and calloused hands—something only manual laborers develop,” said Darius. He leaned further into the car seat, his eyes narrowing. “That person must’ve lied to Austin. Also, I bet said person owns some of Anderson Group shares. Otherwise, Austin wouldn’t have believed them.”“Try investigating from this an

“My adoptive family doesn’t treat me as well as the outside world believes. Also, the woman who took me away from the orphanage—well, she makes it clear how sick she is of me. My adoptive mother often expresses how helpless she is when I get picked on by everyone else, but I can tell she, too, doesn’t like me,” Maurice revealed, testing the waters as he cautiously looked at Darius.Yet, disappointment soon tightened his chest to know the answer he wanted never came.Darius continued to stare at Maurice, knowing what the latter was thinking. He secretly found it funny how the boy reacted. While everyone was still stunned by the sudden turn of events, he raised his hand, hovering it over Maurice’s head. That caused Maurice to stiffen, holding his breath until the former’s hand rested on his head. Only then did he calm down.Darius quirked a brow but kept his opinions to himself. All he did was calmly point out, “You were hoping to see if I knew your birth parents and whether I could te

However, just as Maurice was about to say the word, he paused before shaking his head.Edward raised both brows in confusion, not expecting this to happen. Immediately after, his brows furrowed tightly, and he wanted to ask why. That was when Edward caught sight of a hinting look from Darius. He immediately fell silent but secretly panicked, unable to hide the growing anxiety in his eyes as he stared at the blond boy.Maurice’s gaze was downcast, his fingers twiddling while tears brimmed in his eyes. He willed himself to hold his breath. Not wanting anyone to see him break down, he kept his head down. Still, he replied loudly, “That’s a huge decision. Before I decide, I have to ask my adoptive mother’s opinion.”He then raised his head and no longer concealed his emotions, earnestly saying, “It doesn’t matter how she treated me before. Without her, I might not have survived until now. Plus, she’s given me plenty of financial aid throughout my life. I never expected her to treat me l

Even Austin’s broken ribs did not hinder him from loudly voicing the shock in his heart. He gradually dropped his hand, widening his eyes and clenching his teeth at Maurice. “That’s impossible!”Darius shrugged but did not speak anymore.That was when a woman’s voice rang out from a nearby car. Apart from Darius, no one else had noticed it arriving at the scene. Moments passed when Kate descended the car, her arms crossed, and chin held high at Austin. “Today is the first time I’ve ever heard your name. I know my father secretly had more than one family and how he fathered many bastards.”“However.” A corner of her lip curled as she sneered, “I don’t care. What concerns me more is that your mother—my aunt—had been plotting to inherit the Anderson family wealth many years ago. She even used the despicable method of switching yours and Maurice’s places without us knowing.”Still kneeling on the ground, Austin paled as his gaze shifted from Darius to Kate. Austin had seen Kate on telev

Austin’s brows crinkled closer. His head shot upward as his eyes pierced through Kate, hoping to catch her off guard and see what she thought. Everything went as he predicted, but sadly, he did not see what he wanted in her eyes; there was a whirlwind of fear, anger, dissatisfaction, hurt, and many more emotions. The one feeling absent in her gaze was a raging desire for him to die. Before looking at her, he assumed she only felt hatred at that instant. If he had to dig deeper, he would have guessed there was a sadistic joy in her eyes, eager to see him die. Yet, reality turned out different from what he had expected. Every part of his body tensed while a frosty aura radiated from him. It contrasted with Kate’s warm and inviting presence, something he refused to welcome with open arms.Kate lowered her head, simultaneously shivering as though the air was cold. It took her a while to discern what the boy’s pointed stare meant; eventually, she realized he was angry. Still, she assume
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 308
Austin’s attention was on Kate, who continued to gaze longingly at him but did not seem like she was getting out of the car anytime soon. Only then did he truly realize he was getting deserted. The young lady, whose name appeared several times in the background research documents he asked for, now behaved far more mercilessly than her supposed “naive” nature. His jaw fell wide open as he cried, “What are you doing, Kate? I’m your brother! So what if we have different fathers? We still share the same bloodline—we’re both Andersons! I’m just an Anderson on my mother’s side. Yet, you’re ditching me here? I know you’re capable of saving me! It’s just that you’re not trying harder!”He yelled louder with every passing second. He would have run after Kate’s car if not for the pain in his chest.On the other hand, Kate was frowning. Her chest tightened with guilt when she heard his hoarse cries. Panicked, she turned to look ahead at Erin, who did not hesitate to start the car and pull down

"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

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
