The Consortium's Heir Chapter 785
"He's also the Reid family's heir." As the chief bodyguard's words fell, Darius imagined how Floyd would react. Would he continue insulting Darius without a care, or would he refuse to believe the chief bodyguard? To his surprise, Floyd did the one thing he hadn't imagined—he looked at Darius earnestly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Reid! Everything that happened is my fault!" His gaze turned expectant.Darius' lips twitched as he retracted his foot. Since Floyd had apologized, he could let the matter slide, especially since Floyd hadn't done anything unforgivable. In fact, he'd been quite polite toward the other women. Darius waited for Floyd to scramble to his feet before sitting on one of the nearby couches. "Now, talk to me."Floyd stood before him like a secretary reporting to his boss. Without the slightest hesitation, he said, "It's the chairman of Dream Investment Group. He called me earlier and said you were heading to my realtor's office. He wanted me to cause trouble for you."D

Darius patted Floyd on the shoulder. "You're one of the smarter people I've met recently."Floyd scratched his head and chuckled. "Well, I genuinely respect and admire you. I even went for an interview at West Atlantics Int'l when it was first set up, but I didn't make it through."Darius' lips twitched at this. Since setting up West Atlantics Int'l, he'd met several people who'd scored interviews but failed to get hired. He pushed this thought to the back of his mind and smiled. "Well, now that we've resolved this, there's only one thing I need of you now—get me that business plan."Floyd beamed and immediately turned to leave. After taking a few steps, he turned back and said to the employees who'd been watching the show, "Get the manager. Look at how long the commotion's been going on, yet he isn't even here!" The employees shuddered at the obvious anger in his words, but they couldn't do anything—the manager wasn't around!Floyd frowned when he didn't see anyone budging. No one ma

Obviously, in her eyes, Darius didn't have the money to purchase such an expensive house. Her disdain—or perhaps it was her desire for revenge—even made her forget Floyd's instructions to give Darius a unit for free. Although Darius would've ultimately paid for it, he didn't appreciate the sales girl's attitude. He narrowed his eyes in displeasure but didn't do anything. Instead, he nodded and said, "You can continue showing me the other units."The sales girl frowned and snorted. "You're such a funny guy, sir. We need to know what you're looking for before we can show anything to you. Otherwise, we'll just end up in this very situation where I show you a house worth three hundred million, though you obviously can't afford it. It's a waste of my time, and I, Alexis Brenner, refuse to do that."Pearl frowned at this. "If my memory serves me right, your boss told you to give Darius any unit he wanted for free."Alexis stared blankly at her for a few seconds, then quickly regained her co
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 788
The employees whispered among themselves at Darius' words. He smirked and crossed his arms, leaning against a table leisurely. Alexis couldn't take it anymore. She shrieked, "Listen up, Darius!" She turned to face her colleagues before continuing, "Our manager promised to marry me, so you should all think carefully about how you treat me!"Darius raised an eyebrow at this. He didn't believe the manager's words for a second but couldn't control what these employees thought. To his surprise, they all believed Alexis. He frowned, trying to think of a way to end this farce, when a young woman dressed in a janitor's uniform said in a small voice, "I can give it a shot."When she stepped forward, Darius suddenly sensed overwhelming fear in Alexis. She screeched, "What are you doing? What do you know? You're nothing but a janitor, so do what you were hired to do! This has nothing to do with you!"Darius crossed his arms and watched her scornfully. "I think everyone can sense how terrified yo
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 789
"She's a poor thing, and I really want to help her. What can I do for her?" Pearl said. Darius smiled at this and glanced at the janitor, whose face was red as tears rolled down her cheeks.As Pearl approached her, she dropped to her knees and grabbed Pearl's sleeve, crying, "I can't thank you enough for your offer, but that's not what I need help with. I…I wanted to ask whether you could help with my brother's medical fees. My parents are the ones who should be dealing with it, but…" She trailed off and started sobbing.At the mention of medical fees, Pearl nodded without hesitation. "Of course, I can. Give me your bank account number; I'll transfer the money to you within ten minutes."The janitor's eyes shone before thanking Pearl and Darius profusely. "Thank you both for your help! If my brother makes it out of the operating theater, I'll carve a statue of both of you and put it on his bedside table so he'll never forget about you!"Darius' lips twitched at this. This was the wors
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 790
Darcy smiled as she spoke. It looked like one couldn't believe everything they heard—Darius could purchase a house worth three hundred million, yet rumor had it he was living in squalor.Darius seemed to know what she was thinking and rubbed his nose awkwardly. It looked like he had yet to return to the Reid family when Darcy was forced to drop out temporarily, so her impression of him was still stuck on him being poor. He shook his head and smiled but didn't say anything. Darcy led them to the person who handled the signing of contracts. She was waiting for them and rubbing her hands expectantly. When she saw Darius, she smiled brightly, almost revealing all her teeth.Darius found this amusing and couldn't help smiling faintly. He sat down and put his credit card on the table. When he pulled his credit card out, he heard the woman standing opposite him gulp. At the same time, her eyes practically glowed as she gazed at him. Darius shook his head. "Alright, hand me the contract so I

"Once Mr. Davis gives the green light, I'll immediately kick Alexis out of here. If Mr. Davis doesn't say anything, all I can do is apologize to you," said the head security guard.Darius raised an eyebrow, then said scornfully, "I guess you ultimately chose your manager over Floyd." He stood up. "If that's the case, I have nothing else to say." He turned to leave.Sweat beaded on the head security guard's forehead, and he gulped. At the same time, he hurried to stop Darius. "Sir, I know you may be upset by what's happened, but I think this can all be resolved with a proper conversation."Darius stared him down. "You saw how Alexis refused to give the house to me for free, right? So, I decided to pay for it myself. Yet, she insists my card is fake. I can't pay for the house because she won't allow it, and you refuse to kick her out. That means I won't be able to pay for the house or get it for free as promised by Floyd."The head security guard looked like he was in a dilemma. He lowe
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 792
The head security guard nodded and smiled at Darius. "Yes, sir. I'm sorry for my error in judgment." With that, he marched toward Alexis and stretched out an arm toward the building's entrance. "Miss Alexis Brenner, this isn't somewhere you can linger anymore. Even if you want to return, it'll have to wait until after Mr. Reid has settled the payment for his house and left the building."Alexis trembled violently and stared at him in disbelief. "How dare you treat me like this! I treated you well in the past, didn't I? My boyfriend and I just had a fight, yet you're already treating me like trash. Once we kiss and make up, he'll definitely avenge me!"The head security guard gave her a pitiful look. "The manager is already married. The fact that he hung up on you without another word is enough to show he won't divorce his wife to marry you." He stretched his arm out again. "Miss Brenner, please leave the building of your own volition. If you do so, you can return without any argument

"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
