The Consortium's Heir Chapter 304
“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

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

“I’ve always wanted live in a normal family, but I never got it. That’s why I’ve lost all hope of having that life.” While speaking, he leaned against the backseat, sighing deeply.Only silence came from Darius as his nostrils slightly flared without anyone noticing. The coppery stench of blood then hung at the back of his throat. It grew when Edward’s footsteps came closer to their car.At that moment, Darius knew things had gotten settled.Maurice had been looking out the car window for some time now. Thus, he saw everything that happened. Now that Edward had returned, Maurice turned to look at Darius with a complicated expression.All he asked was, “Mr. Reid? Are you someone with loads of money?”Darius instantly understood what the boy meant and responded with an unexpectedly calm tone, “That I am. However, I don’t think poorer people should get killed at random or have their dignity attacked by others. I know what you’re thinking—I shouldn’t have executed Austin Anderson.”Those

What Maurice heard next bewildered him, even though it was a detail from many years ago. Felix straightened his back almost instantly. He also adopted a strident tone as he explained, “Mr. Reid, he and his boss once came to propose a business collaboration with my company. It’s just that they got kicked out.”He did not elaborate on the latter half of the information as he believed clarifying the first half was enough for Darius to guess what came next.Darius could tell Felix was a reasonable person, so he did not speak and merely turned to lean his back against the car seat before shutting his eyes. Maurice had more to say but did not know where to begin because he was too shocked. It took him a few moments to mull over his options. Eventually, he remained silent but kept a cautious eye on Darius and Felix. Maurice had figured Darius was insanely rich from the latter’s overall behavior. However, he had sorely underestimated the extent of Darius’ wealth; in fact, he dared not even

What shocked Maurice more was that he felt a surge of warmth in his veins when Edward forced his head to lower apologetically at Darius. He rolled his eyes before ultimately giving in, adopting a sincere and formal tone as he declared aloud, “Don’t worry, Mr. Reid. I can attest to everything Mr. Elliot, who I’m making my mentor now, has said. Alongside what he promised, I swear this under God’s witness—I’m pledging loyalty to you now. If I ever harm you or your family, the Lord is free to condemn me with eternal punishment.”The 15-year-old boy’s promise rang out clearly and with great strength.Darius gradually opened his eyes, turned his head, and shot a raised brow at Maurice. It shocked him to receive such an intense promise because he had never thought about training Maurice Anderson or other strangers to become the Reid family’s bodyguard. Thus, it took him aback to hear Maurice willingly wanting to become his bodyguard. “Not to mention, this kid is swearing his future away to
