All Chapters of The Consortium's Heir : Chapter 1001 - Chapter 1010

"Your neighbors and some reporters have surrounded us because there aren't any walls around us anymore. They can clearly see everything that's happening here right now; I wanted to call you earlier to tell you not to return here. Either that or put on a disguise before coming here. Otherwise, the reporters are gonna have a field day when they see you, and that's gonna cause trouble for the Reid Consortium and West Atlantics Int'l."Darius' lips twitched at his words. He sighed and massaged a temple. Erin had followed him out of the conference room earlier and had heard everything. Her lips twitched as well; she bit them, then said cautiously, "Sir, I think you should still head back. We don't know how Bridget is doing, but things don't look good. Edward didn't say they were in danger, but Bridget's breathing is weak. If she continues like this, being exposed to the elements isn't gonna do her any good."Darius nodded and shut his eyes as he breathed deeply. "Yes, I have to go check on

"Hansley, you're great at finding excuses, whether in the past or now. Back then, you told me the same thing when I commanded you to get rid of Tristan and Diana Reid. Of course, you only said it when you failed to complete your mission," said the mysterious character frostily. "Now, you've once again proven to me that your existence is worthless." He sighed and stretched out his arms, which were covered by the sleeves of his black robe. He placed his hands on the desk before him and glared daggers at Hansley. "This is the second time you've ruined my plans, and I've run out of patience for you! If I were you, I'd make myself scarce immediately and think about how to complete my mission instead of standing there, looking like a fool. If you continue like this, I guarantee you'll be the first to die! And it'll happen before Darius'!"Hansley dropped his gaze to his feet and nodded. "Yes, sir. I promise I'll teach Darius a lesson this time!" He stepped back cautiously, trying not to ma

Hansley gulped, looking helpless. "I know you won't believe me even if I say this, but I swear I'm telling the truth." He exhaled heavily and looked at Darius woefully. "I don't know why you refuse to believe me, Darius. I've basically poured my heart out to you, yet you've chosen not to trust me. I don't know what you think of me, nor do I know what else I can say. What else do you want to know? I don't have anything else to tell you, and I've lost everything."Hansley's eyes turned red as he looked Darius in the eye. "Yes, I did strike a deal with those nefarious characters, but only because I wanted you and my son to live comfortably for the rest of your lives! I didn't have any other choice!"Darius scoffed at this. He knew the truth was far from what Hansley had said. "I genuinely have no idea what you expect me to say in response. I thought I'd made myself clear." He tucked his hands into his pockets and shook his head. "I don't think there's any need for us to talk anymore." H

Even when he got to the end of the corridor, Darius could still hear the patient's breathing. However, as he turned the corner, he seemed to hear the patient's breathing change. It was almost as if he'd said something. Darius faltered for a second but didn't take this matter to heart. He continued looking around the hospital. There was something odd about it—it had a beautiful garden filled with various plants, but none of them were flowers. Also, everything in the hospital was white, including the instruments and equipment. This wasn't something one saw every day—there was something about this hospital that just made one feel off-color.It suddenly hit him—in regular hospitals, even if the patients all had different ailments, they still had different skin tones and complexions. They wouldn't all look deathly pale—even Hansley had looked like a corpse. In fact, all the patients in this hospital looked like corpses. It was extremely weird.With this thought in mind, Darius returned to

"He grew up in squalor and suddenly became wealthy overnight. Do you honestly think you can trust him?" said the bodyguard.Darius watched as all the bodyguards stared at him contemptuously. He put his hands in his pockets and sighed. Then, his gaze turned icy, making the bodyguards subconsciously shudder. "Before today, I was willing to play nice with you guys. Now, however, I see that it's only going to bring me disappointment. I was gonna live and let live, but it looks like you guys don't need me to do that."One of the bodyguards burst into derisive laughter. "You, live and let live? Do you hear yourself?" He stuck his hands on his hips. "There are eight of us, and you're on our company's turf. As long as you're here and you harm one of our own, none of us are gonna let you off the hook. Laying a hand on any of us isn't gonna bring you any good—I don't see why you'd do it." He gave Darius a frosty look. "Still, I'll be honest—it's surprising to see you speak to us with such can
