The Consortium's Heir Chapter 335
He never thought he’d hear those words come out of his grandfather’s mouth. Ever since his return to the Reid family, he’d slowly picked up the reins under his grandfather’s tolerant watch. However, James wasn’t allowing him the time to mature slowly anymore. Darius had never expected this to happen. Moreover, James had announced this so suddenly and seriously.Darius felt his heart start to race. He didn’t know how to explain his situation, so he remained silent. To his surprise, James didn’t say anything too. In fact, James regretted his words the second they were out of his mouth. He coughed to conceal his awkwardness, then took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry for saying something mean in the heat of the moment, Darius. I want you to know that’s not how I really feel—you’ve always been an outstanding child. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to shoulder the costs of your studies alone. At the same time, you’ve managed to remain at the top of your class at Kingston Universi

She bowed deeply at him and said, “I know I’ve made too many mistakes recently for you to turn a blind eye, and I’m not here to ask for forgiveness—all I want to do is hand over my work. From now on, I won’t show up in front of you unless it’s absolutely necessary or if you ask for me. I know it will only upset you.”Darius felt a little uncomfortable at her shaky tone, and he felt like he was being a little cruel. This feeling soon disappeared, though. “If those are your true thoughts, perhaps you’ll have a chance of returning to my side.” He waved a hand and said, “That’s too far in the future to say, though. Now, you need to leave my room. I’ve spent way too much time and energy on you today, and I don’t want to do that anymore.”Erin paled again. She didn’t want to leave but knew she had no choice. Moreover, Darius had already softened his stance a little after she’d admitted to her mistakes—he’d said that there was a chance she could return to his side and work for him. This was

He shook his head, then turned to his computer to review a report of the company’s performance in the last quarter. A few minutes later, he frowned. After quickly scrolling through the report again, he pressed a finger to his temple while picking up his phone with his other hand. It took him a while to find Zack’s number, which showed how rarely they’d contacted each other since he hired Zack.He sighed, thinking of Erin again. He knew that things had to be tough on her now, but this was the only way to resolve the issue. Erin had made too many mistakes while working with him, and if he continued to turn a blind eye without taking any corrective measures, it wouldn’t bode well for either of them in the long term. This was the best way to handle the issue; it was a measure he’d come up with after long consideration. He hoped that Erin would learn her lesson from this incident and mature. With this thought in mind, he took a deep breath and called Zack. Zack was dazed to see Darius ca

After all, this concerned Darius and Erin’s relationship! Before this, the two of them had been on such good terms, yet Darius had still fired Erin. He’d even had her stationed somewhere far away from him and immediately executed his decision. Darius had been in such a rush to get Erin away from him that he couldn’t even wait till they were back at the company. In other words, Darius had chosen to have Erin sent away at the cost of the company’s performance. It showed how massive a mistake Erin must’ve made.Even if Darius was just temporarily sending Erin away to teach her a lesson, it still had to be because of something she’d done wrong. Zack wasn’t in the right position to plead on her behalf.On the other hand, Darius frowned after hanging up. He looked out the window and saw that the sky had already turned dark. He’d been so busy today that it felt like he’d already lived through several days, but none of the problems that had cropped up had been resolved. On the contrary, he

His heart was calm as he waited for Darius to speak. As expected, Darius said in a complicated tone, “Since you’re ready for that, you can leave now.” Edward’s face fell. He knew that Darius could only be saying this because he’d already found someone to replace Erin. He turned to leave, focused on wondering who it would be.When Darius was alone, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. He called Zack again. On the other end of the line, Zack had just recovered from the shock of having Darius call him personally when it happened again. He immediately answered the phone, but before he could make a sound, Darius said, “I’d only planned to stay in Almiron City for another three days, but things here are more complicated than I expected. We didn’t manage to dig up too much information earlier, so I’m not sure how long I’ll be here.”Zack frowned, starting to feel worried about the situation in Almiron City. He knew that things had to be worse than Darius was letting on. After all, Erin

“Do you get what I mean?”Alicia stiffened, then looked up at Darius in shock. The things he’d just said were completely different from what she’d heard before. She frowned, took a deep breath, and said, “That’s not what Erin told me, though.”Darius sighed at Erin’s name being brought up again. He leaned back and waved a hand, saying, “You don’t need to listen to a word Erin says. Now, no one can be sure that she’s truly loyal to West Atlantics Int’l… but you are, right?” He looked at Alicia.Alicia was dumbfounded. She could clearly catch his underlying meaning, and her lips trembled. She’d never thought about Erin’s viewpoint, but she knew very well that there would be a vacancy to work closely with Darius now that something had happened to put some distance between him and Erin—and she was the best person to fill that vacancy. Her eyes lit up, and she subconsciously took a step forward.Darius could sense her breathing speed up with excitement, but he didn’t know the reason behind

#She was worried about him and sighed softly, not wanting to disturb him. However, Darius was an enlightened martial artist—how could he not hear her? He frowned and opened his eyes, turning to gaze at her with a helpless look in his eyes.Alicia couldn’t discern the emotions in his eyes, and she tensed when his eyes landed on her. He could tell how nervous she was, and he sighed softly. He beckoned at her and said, “Come here.”Alicia didn’t know why he was beckoning at her, but this was the gentlest she’d seen him, and her heart raced. She felt like she was having an out-of-body experience, or perhaps she’d just lost control of her mind. She walked over to Darius, and her face burned the closer she got to him. When she finally stood before him, she felt like her face was so hot she was practically smoking at the ears. “Mr. Reid,” she said in a small voice.When Darius saw her eyes trained on the floor, he couldn’t help sighing again. “I know you guys are terrified of me, but there’

The only person he could spar with was Shelvin, but he’d gone missing after showing up at the hotel for a short time, and no one had seen him since. Darius didn’t expect the problem that had been plaguing him to be resolved like this suddenly, and he looked at the man in black robes. Meditation was long-term, and he wanted to have someone around to meditate with him. Now, it would be best if he could somehow make this man stay.The man’s hair stood on end at the way Darius was looking at him. A wave of fear washed over him, and he subconsciously took a step back. Then, he frowned. He’d never felt this way—it was as if a venomous snake locked its eyes on him. He took a deep breath, then held his hands up and said, “I know you’re an enlightened martial artist, thanks to the hints my fellow apprentice left for me before his death.”Darius placed his hands behind his back and looked at him in confusion because of how the man was talking to him like they were strangers. Hadn’t they alrea
