The Consortium's Heir Chapter 826
Indeed, Darius was innocent if one considered what the head security guard had done from his perspective. It was only because an innocent child was involved that Ursula had the impression that the head security guard was right. "I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions and putting the blame on you," said Ursula quickly upon realizing her mistake. She looked at Darius, wanting to show him she meant her words, hoping he would forgive her. Tears filled her eyes as the seconds ticked and Darius showed no sign of relenting.Darius looked at her thoughtfully. "Even now, you're not giving me anything useful. You're protecting those nefarious characters and telling me various half-truths." Ursula looked shocked at his words. He sighed and continued, "You sound believable—and I'm inclined to believe you're mostly telling the truth—but you've also kept a lot of important information from me. It doesn't seem like you genuinely want to resolve this."Ursula's eyes widened. "I don't understand what yo
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 827
"Why don't you explain this to the authorities? If you do a good job, I'll consider retracting my earlier decision," said Darius.Ursula's eyes shot open. She looked at the officer and forced out a smile. "Darius and I got into an argument over a small misunderstanding, and I chose to jump out of the car through the window in the heat of the moment. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that I'd gained some weight, and I got stuck there. I'm sure you can imagine how embarrassed I feel now." Darius nodded at her words, looking understanding. For some reason, Ursula still had an ominous feeling. She gulped and turned to Darius, asking cautiously, "I didn't get anything wrong, did I?"As she did this, the officer's gaze landed on Darius, making him frown. He gave Ursula a scornful look. "You do realize you were supposed to make the situation better for us both, right? Yet you're also causing plenty of trouble for me by putting on such a pitiful look. You've been putting on a one-man show from
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 828
"What's that supposed to mean for someone like me? Someone ran right into me in the middle of the street, then claimed I was her boyfriend. How are you going to resolve this?" Darius crossed his arms and glared at the officer. He'd never been this lost for words. He reached into his pocket to pull his phone out, but his fingers had barely grazed it when the officer shouted, "Drop what you're doing! Are you trying to pull something dangerous and illegal?" Darius sighed in exasperation, then lowered his head. The officer's expression turned murderous when he saw this. "What's with your attitude? It pisses me off, and I'll have you know that things won't end well for you when I'm angry."Darius sighed again. "That's all fine and dandy, but you don't even realize you're standing up for the perpetrator. All you did was pick on little ol' me after watching something online. Even until now, you haven't mentioned a word about what you've done." He scowled, looking irritated. He seemed to on

Ursula parted her lips, but before she could make a sound, Darius asked, "Are you looking at me like that because you want me to accept your compensation right now?" He stroked the car, looking at it with heartache. "I hope you don't damage my car. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to make you buy me an identical one based on the current market rate. Of course, I'll give you this one in exchange for the new one."Ursula's chest heaved, but she tried her best to keep her voice gentle. "Allow me to apologize in advance for the car. Once I'm out of this predicament, I'll buy you a new one and try my best to make it identical to your current one." She looked at him earnestly.To her dismay, Darius shook his head. "You're not a person of your word. You say this now, but you might go back on your word in the next second. Your promise means nothing to me—the only way I'll believe you is if you act on it right now." Ursula's face was red from her earlier struggle, and people were currently
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 830
Ultimately, Ursula was the first to give in. She stretched her arms out in an effort to stop Darius from approaching her and the officer. Then, she took a deep breath and said anxiously, "I didn't intend for things to turn out this way. I apologize for everything that's happened so far, and I admit I've been taking a tough stance to threaten you into doing things my way, but you have to acknowledge that this hasn't done me any good. On the contrary, it's only put me in more danger! I felt aggrieved, which is why I devised this plan. I didn't expect it to fail so spectacularly; we didn't manage to achieve any of our goals. As for your location, we truly got it from a private investigator." She looked at Darius guiltily. "I know it wasn't right of us to do this. I tried my best to talk myself out of it, but my selfishness won out in the end."On the other hand, the officer put his hands behind his back and watched her worriedly. Darius smiled mockingly at this. "I remember making mysel
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 831
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

Darius smiled at her, his admiration apparent. Darcy returned his smile, saying, "I didn't expect you to remember me." At the same time, she waved the broom she was holding around.Darius shook his head helplessly and stood up. "I remember asking my people to look into you. The fact that you got accepted by Kingston University despite coming from a poor family is enough to show that you must be a stellar student. I found it weird that my people couldn't find you on campus." He gave her a curious look.Darcy's smile was still in place as she shook her head. "Thank you for everything you've done for me, Mr. Reid. I honestly don't mind working as a janitor—it's what I was doing before meeting you. I've never dreamed of doing anything else; I've never even imagined being able to return to university. Life's already good enough for me now that there's enough money to pay for my brother's medical bills."Darius sensed her smile was bitter but genuine. Darcy had some regrets but was generall

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

"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
