The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116

“Mr. Reid! There is trouble!” Erin yelled anxiously from the other end of the phone the moment Darius answered the phone call.

Darius frowned at Erin‘s anxious tone. Since he knew Erin, she had always been composed no matter the situation. Now that she was this anxious, he could guess that the matter wasn‘t so simple.

“Erin, calm down and talk to me. What is going on?” Darius asked steadfastly.

Erin took a deep breath and exhaled before speaking slowly. As she spoke, the frown on Darius ‘face grew increasingly prominent, and by the time Erin was done talking, Darius had a huge frown on his attractive face.

“Okay. I got it. Thank you.” Darius said, and then ended the phone call abruptly. He then walked over to his bedside table and took the TV remote on the table before switching the TV in his room on.

” And coming next is news about the Chairman of the fast rising investment company in Capital City, West Atlantics Int‘l.”

The television station was the one of the biggest news channel in the whole country, and it had millions of viewers across country. The news channel wielded a very dangerous power, as they had a very large audience; therefore the majority of their news reached and influenced the public. If they reported negatively on a particular company, the said company reputation would take a nosedive, and it was the same vice versa.

“West Atlantics International is a private investment firm that Chairman Darius Reid founded. Over the past few weeks, it has experienced rapid growth. This is true because they were able to invest in a number of valuable projects, such as the construction of the Invicta Bridge in Xana City.”

“However, we received news from trusted sources that the chairman of West Atlantics Int‘l was involved in a car accident this afternoon, and took down an elderly man in the accident. The elderly man has now been admitted to Serene Hospital, and is receiving treatment there.”

“As for the cause of the accident, the chairman was said to ...”

The anchor continued speaking, but Darius watched the news with a stoic expression on his face. This was a blatant attack on his company, and even a fool could tell that someone was target West Atlantics Int‘l.

Darius was a bit unsettled at the moment, as he had no idea who was targeting his company or the reason why, but he remained calm. The only weapon they had now was the media and the

news about his car accident.

Although it would deal some damages to the reputation of his company, it wasn‘t so bad that it couldn‘t be controlled. The main problem was finding out who was behind this sudden

attack

Darius could feel a serious headache seeping into his head. So many things had happened lately, and it made even the calm Darius flustered.

The assassination attempt was the first. He had only recently successfully defended himself against an assassination attempt, and as a result, he had been chased out of his home. He couldn‘t go back because he no longer felt safe there. However, before he could relax, a casual meeting with Tyrell Sanders resulted in the death of a bodyguard due to another assassination

attempt.

He was unable to find out who the person behind the assassination attempt on him was, yet another person had come into play. It was obvious that this person was here to target his company.
