The Consortium's Heir Chapter 793
Darius patted Pearl on the shoulder and said, "There's nothing to be jealous about. No one would compare the two of you to each other. I just think she's intelligent, brave, and, most importantly, kind. She's a good fit for West Atlantics Int'l, so I had Erin investigate her. If there's nothing fishy in her past, she can join the company in the future instead of being relegated to doing a janitor's work despite being outstanding. She ended up here because someone was out to get her; this isn't where she should be."Pearl couldn't help feeling even more jealous. She looked at him and said, "You're protecting her. I believe there are many people who possess the qualities you mentioned, but I don't see you helping them out."Darius wasn't offended by her retort. He smiled and said calmly, "Your father's done a good job protecting you. I'll be honest with you—among all the people you see here today, only one possesses all the qualities I mentioned, and that's Darcy."As his words fell, th

They stared at Darius in disbelief. Alexis, on the other hand, snorted. "I thought the payment went through. Turns out it's just asking you to key in your pin again!" As soon as her words fell, the robotic voice announced, "Congratulations! Your payment of three hundred million dollars is successful."It was Darius' turn to snort. He looked at Alexis scornfully and said, "Well, the payment's gone through. What are you gonna do now?"Alexis gulped. She fell to the floor as her knees buckled under her, trembling as she realized she'd made a huge mistake. She stared at Darius and thought about what her precious manager had told her earlier. Someone who could afford to purchase a house worth three hundred million was definitely wealthy; there was no way ordinary people like them could afford to offend someone like that. In the past, the manager had also told her no one could possibly spend such an astronomical amount of cash to purchase real estate because there were few in this world who

Pearl smiled at his words and nodded cheerily. "I can't wait."They walked to the car. Pearl only realized she was still clinging to Darius when he stopped beside the car and waited for her to get in. She blushed, quickly let him go, and put her hands behind her back. When she glanced at him shyly, she saw he'd already turned away and circled to the driver's side. She sighed, feeling like she'd missed an opportunity as she watched him get into the car. Pearl got in, fastened her seatbelt, and parted her lips to say something.However, Darius beat her to it and said calmly, "Alright, you can get some rest. The house is some ways away." Pearl raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. What did he mean by that? Wasn't the neighborhood supposed to be nearby? Before she could ask, Darius said, "This neighborhood has a great environment, mainly because it's newly developed and has an advantage over the old neighborhoods surrounding Kingston University. It's not far from the university, but we ha

Chapter 768 Saved His Number##Alexis crumpled to the floor in despair and burst into tears. The manager's wife stopped and turned around. Though Alexis hadn't shown any interest in knowing the answer to her earlier question, she still said, "Because he has many mistresses here—you're not the only one. You're the only one who was dumb enough to take him seriously, however. And you actually thought you were special to him." With that, she headed to her office. She didn't have a habit of picking on other women, but Alexis had made it clear that she had no qualms about being a homewrecker. This was something the manager's wife could never stand for.Now that this matter had been handled, she sat down and crossed her legs at the knee. A few seconds later, she propped them up on her desk, in a good mood after dealing with her husband's mistress. As her mind wandered, she recalled how Darius had spent three hundred million dollars in one sitting, and her eyes lit up. She immediately put her

#Darius' heart softened for a second. Then, the sound of several footsteps approaching made him return to his senses. He smiled, making Pearl's heart settle in her chest; she could sense he was genuinely happy. She touched his thigh lightly, saying, "What happened? You look really happy now, and I want to share your joy."Darius raised an eyebrow and glanced at her hand. He didn't comment on it, though. Instead, he said, "These people are here to welcome us.""These people?" Pearl stared at him in surprise. "What's going on? Who's coming…" She trailed off, then smiled a few seconds later when she saw who Darius had been referring to. The person in the lead was the security guard they'd spoken to earlier; he was in a buggy and was making his way toward them. He waved at them, drawing their attention to the people behind him. The first thing that caught their eye was the man standing beside the security guard—he was taller and burlier than all the other men, and the golden embroidery o

To Darius' surprise, the call was answered almost immediately. He raised an eyebrow at the anxious yelp on the other end of the line. "Floyd?"Floyd gulped, feeling like he was on the verge of crying. Darius hadn't answered his calls earlier, and he thought he'd refuse to lend him money in a fit of rage. He nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes, it's me. I returned to the realtor's office earlier and heard about what happened after I left. I'm extremely sorry about that." Although Darius couldn't see the tears in Floyd's eyes, the tremor in his voice was unmissable.He said calmly, "It's fine. You're the biggest victim in this whole matter—none of your staff followed your orders despite you explicitly telling them what to do; they have more respect for a lowly manager than they do for you."Floyd was shocked to hear this. He could sense Darius was telling him this on purpose. Was he mocking him? What was he supposed to think of this? Several seconds later, he returned to his senses and hesi

"The one who handled the payment," Darius added.Pearl's eyes lit up. It wasn't because of the employee—she was happy that Darius had told her about it without being asked. She said, "Does she want something from you? I noticed how beautiful she was."Darius' lips twitched. He ruffled her hair and said, "When did you start thinking about irrelevant things?" He shook his head. "There's something special about this woman. None of the other employees spoke to her, but their respect for her was evident. She must hold a special position there."Pearl looked confused. "Wouldn't Floyd have told you about that?"Darius shook his head again. "Your guess is as good as mine."Pearl decided to change the topic to one that was more pressing to her. "So, what did she want with you? Don't tell me she just wanted to get to know you."Darius shook his head and started typing out a message. "That's what I'd like to know. I'm gonna ask her directly." He sent the message, then tucked the phone into his p

Darius looked shocked. "Wait, you're also a Chamberlain? You're Pearl's …" He trailed off, looking at Fleur doubtfully.Fleur shrugged, looking helpless. "So, the Chamberlain family's heartless enough not to mention a word about my existence to the younger generations, huh? I'm her aunt."Pearl looked stunned. "No, that's impossible! I've never heard of you; my father's an only child!" After a pause, she calmed down and continued, "There's no way we're related. If you really are my aunt as you claim to be, then you should be around my father's age. Yet, you look to be around my age."Fleur sighed. She turned away and smiled, but Darius could tell it was sad. He frowned, waiting for Fleur to answer them. She said, "Pretty observant of you, but I'm sorry to say you're wrong—I'm only six years older than you. Also, your grandfather is my father, but your grandmother is not my mother. My birth surprised everyone, and though I'd been allowed to use the Chamberlain name, no one in the fami
