The Consortium's Heir Chapter 667
James looked at Darius with bright eyes. “I realized that some of the younger members of the Reid family weren’t too pleased by your return. The Reid family has always put up a united front, so I had to interfere with some of their ploys to ambush you. Still, it’s inappropriate for me to deal with them directly, so you’ll have to do it yourself. I do understand why they feel this way, though. After all, they’ve been fighting to inherit my fortune since they were children.”Darius wasn’t too bothered by this. He was prepared to deal with these matters, so he stood up and said, “I understand, Grandpa.” Then, his eyes widened, and he turned to look out the window. He could hear there were more people gathered outside, and he looked determined. “Grandpa, this might be a little too late, but I’ve just realized something—the troublemakers gathered outside, and everything that’s happened today…they’re all my so-called relatives’ doing, right?”James raised an eyebrow and smiled. “You’re rig

Darius’ lips twitched when he detected a trace of grievance in Edward’s eyes. He said, “Judging from what you just told me, you deserved the beating.” Edward’s jaw dropped. He expected Darius to be on Bruce’s side, but he didn’t think Darius wouldn’t even offer him the slightest consolation. He was about to say something when they heard an egg smash against the window.Darius got to his feet, looking calm, and walked to the door. “Edward, let’s check on things outside. I doubt this will end without me making an appearance.” He sighed and headed for the elevator. When the doors opened with a ding to reveal a man inside, Darius smiled and walked in, confusing the man. He parted his lips but didn’t make a sound. At this moment, Darius said, “Are you here to look for me? You haven’t stopped staring at me since I stepped in here.”The man looked awkward but still nodded. “Yes, I am. I heard that some of the people who were employed by the Reid family on my recommendation inadvertently of

And so, Bruce could only put a hand on his chest in an attempt to slow his racing heart.Darius sensed his anxiety, but this didn’t affect him. He looked at the crowd without blinking despite the countless cameras flashing at him—of course, he had to channel his life force to his eyes to keep this up. He tucked his hands in his pockets and looked at the reporters expressionlessly. The lights didn’t stop flashing even after a few minutes, so he said, “Your actions right now make me suspect that you only came here to take photos of me.”At his words, the flashes slowed down and eventually stopped, making him raise an eyebrow. “I’m surprised you guys actually listened to me. Perhaps you can start asking your questions now.” Several hands shot up immediately, but to their surprise, Darius didn’t even spare them a glance. Instead, he continued, “However, befor

It was so silent one could hear a pin drop. Darius bent down to grab the man by the collar; the latter felt warm all over before turning pale when he realized he couldn’t move. He looked at the ground in despair, which Darius sensed. However, Darius ignored him and turned to look at Edward, who immediately understood what he wanted. He nodded and smiled as they left the crowd behind.Darius dragged the man back to his room before releasing him. The man dropped to his knees, making Darius smile as he sat opposite him. “You can stand up while answering my questions. After all, you haven’t yet had the time to actually do anything to me.” He looked at the man calmly.The man gnashed his teeth, finally understanding where he stood. Obviously, Darius already knew he had a camera on him, and he shut his eyes in despair. He thought Darius would get mad at him and start beating him up or something, but none of this happened.However, if the man thought this was the worst that things could get

Mortimer glared at Darius, his nostrils flaring as his chest heaved with rage. He didn’t say anything, though.Darius smiled and crossed his legs at the knee. Mortimer forced himself to calm down so he could speak to Darius, but Darius’ words only made his temper flare up again. “So, tell me—who gave you this idea?”Mortimer shot to his feet again. “What do you mean by that? Are you implying I’m unable to devise a plan on my own?” He thought Darius would shake his head, but Darius nodded, still smiling. Then, he leaned forward and turned his computer on before focusing all his attention on it. Silence descended upon the room. After a while, Mortimer asked in confusion, “Aren’t you mad that I led the people outside here?”Darius glanced at him for a second before lowering his eyes to the computer again. “You didn’t do anything bad,” he said calmly. “You were against this idea when whoever is behind this brought it up to you—that’s why I only want to know who it is. Before you answer m

Mortimer glanced at Darius before turning back to James. He started to frown when he saw they were smiling—they were definitely making fun of him! His nostrils flared as his breathing sped up, but he didn’t dare reveal much more of his emotions than that. Mortimer tried to ignore Darius’ presence as he said to James, “Granduncle James, I’m surprised to have the chance to see you. I…I…” He was confused to see James waiting patiently for him to get the words out, and he continued in a small voice, “I did things that are going to cause plenty of trouble for you. Aren’t you mad at me for that?”James shrugged nonchalantly. “We haven’t gotten to the bottom of this yet, but we know you’re not completely at fault here. You’ve always been a kind soul.”This made Mortimer’s jaw drop. He sensed that his wrongdoings had been forgiven, which he hadn’t expected. He turned to look at Darius and noticed that the latter was already seated at his desk, which meant he couldn’t care less about what was

Darius knew Mortimer wanted to know what was happening. Unfortunately for him, Darius didn’t have any answers. At Darius’ silence, his knees went weak. “Please, stop the video. I can’t bear to listen to it anymore.”Darius sighed. “As you wish.” He closed the laptop, then said calmly, “Mortimer, I know you only did all those things because of a simple misunderstanding; that’s why an explanation is all I ask. I’m sure you can understand this.”Mortimer looked hesitant. After a while, he inhaled deeply and mumbled, “I don’t know whether that video’s genuine yet.” At the end of the sentence, his head was practically buried against his chest.Darius smiled and sat down. “That’s fair. Look, you don’t need to be so nervous.”Mortimer’s head shot up, and his eyes were bright with hope. “Does that mean you’ll let me investigate this?”“I have no reason to object.” Darius crossed his legs at the knee. “Anyway, even if I were to object, I’m sure you’d secretly investigate this.”Mortimer falter

“Alright, I’ve got it.” After Darius said that, he looked outside. “You can leave now. If you want to take care of the people who moved against you before, you can go to Edward.”Mortimer Reid smiled widely. He turned sharply and said, “Alright, I understand. I’ll go now.”Darius watched him leave, smiling as he shook his head. However, his expression turned grim very quickly after. That was because Mortimer had been young—only about three years old, when the events of the video had happened.Darius stood up. Placing both hands on his hips, he took in a few deep breaths. Just as he was about to continue going through his documents, he heard the sound of footsteps from outside.The footsteps sounded familiar. Darius’ eyebrows shot up, and he went to take a seat on the couch again.Mortimer hadn’t shut the door when he left. Thus, Darius could easily see the woman who came to the door. He put on a shocked expression and said, “I never thought that you would find your way here.”Pearl s
