The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164

Alvin then reached for the pager attached to his belt.

“If you call for security now, I’ll make sure you lose your job, Mr. Kenyon,” Darius casually remarked, not taking the matter seriously even now.

That was utterly unacceptable in Alvin’s eyes.

His cheeks burned with rage as he snapped, “Darius, you could’ve gotten prosecuted if I hadn’t let you off the hook! How dare you ignore how kind I was to you in the past? Not only that, but you’re threatening me now? Oh, how I regret showing you mercy back then!” Darius snorted before drilling his gaze into Alvin. “It seems you haven’t realized how stupid you are now.”

That only fueled the fire burning in Alvin’s chest. While glaring daggers at Darius, he snarled, “You’ll get what’s coming for acting this way!” “It seems your vision has worsened after joining this place.” Darius scrunched his face, sneering while intentionally brushing dust off his clothes so Alvin could get a better look at them.

Alvin noticed the expensive outfit but became even more disdainful. “So what if you stole some rich guy’s clothes? A shiny new outfit can’t disguise the truth. You’re poor and always have been. Besides, affluent people don’t brag about their clothes, so your actions only amplify your poverty.”

Darius gnashed his teeth upon hearing those words.

He could not care less about Alvin’s opinions, but that did not mean he was patient enough to put up with the latter’s yapping. His attention shifted toward Erin. “This hotel has just started operating, so they’re unlikely to have sufficient capital flow. I doubt their position within the market is stable either.”

A victorious grin spread across Erin’s face right then. She knew Darius was finally making his move against the two idiotic men that dared to challenge him. She paced over to his side.

While doing so, she passed by Alvin and felt chills down her spine as if a predator was watching her. Frightened, she spun on her heel. Erin’s features darkened once she realized Alvin was ogling her.

Darius noticed Alvin’s predatory gaze and immediately stood in front of Erin, blocking her from Alvin’s sight.

That further enraged Alvin. He balled his fists. Although he spoke in a lowered tone, everyone could hear his threat. “Darius, it’s the second time this has happened. I promise you, if you don’t depart the premises at once, you’ll spend the rest of your life regretting your actions now.”

Ever since Darius stepped in, all Erin could see was his back. Still, she had never witnessed a man, regardless of his wealth, insult a more affluent man to defend a woman’s honor. She felt such things only occurred in romance novels. Yet, it was happening to her now.

Overwhelming emotions filled Erin’s heart in that instant. She was so moved by Darius’ actions that tears welled in her eyes. However, all that vanished when she heard Alvin threatening to make Darius pay.
