The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194

Darius raised his arm, pulled back his sleeve to look at his watch, then placed his hands on the table.

"You'll have loads of free time in the future, Dean Fletcher, while I'll be busier. If you want an easier time at the detention center, I suggest you stand and speed this whole process up.”

Leon’s eyes narrowed the slits at Darius. "You're too arrogant, Darius Reid! Sooner or later, you'll pay for it!"

Darius did not respond to that. His expression remained blank as he put his hands in his pockets, turned toward the official, and said, "I think we should go now.”

"I agree," replied the official in a neutral tone.

Subsequently, Darius exited the space with the group of officials in tow.

Pearl never imagined she would witness such a scene. Her jaw dropped, and she did not know how to respond.

That continued until Darius stepped outside the dean's office. Only then did Pearl finally soeak. "Darius, I think I should go with you because I can prove that you wrote your dissertation. Plus, I also witnessed half of what happened to you with Dean Fletcher.”

Darius’ lips curved before he shook his head. "No, that's not an appropriate place for a girl like you. Besides, I can handle these things alone. It won't take too long, nor will I endanger myself."

That was not the outcome Pearl hoped for, but she knew she had no Say in the matter. All she could do was stand at the door of the dean's office and watch him leave.

It was not long before Darius arrived at the detention center again.

He had just left this place in the morning. Never did he think he would return later in the day. On top of that, he never would have guessed his plan would be so successful.

"The person controlling all of this is likely at Almiron City now,” Darius thought with a frosty glare. “How I wish I could be right in front of Gillette Group's doors now. But that's impossible because I haven't gotten a leave of absence yet. Honestly, I have no clue who I should ask for approval..."

He eventually got to the interrogation room and submitted all of his evidence to the officials.

The officials there were people he had never met before, which meant they would judge things impartially.

They accepted Darius’ evidence and informed him, "Donny will be likely to be punished for what he did. We hope you can speak up for him on the matter.”

"Did your boss discover the things that Donny did for me?” Darius arched a brow, flashing a look of disbelief.

The officials shook their heads, and one replied, "No, that's not the case. Donny came clean about everything to our chief. While we don't think he did anything wrong, but still he broke the rules and had to be punished accordingly."

Darius nodded before voicing his thoughts. "He was trying to help me. I won't let him get punished for it. If the rules insist on holding someone accountable, I'll bear that responsibility.”

Hearing that, the officials nodded happily; Darius had done way more than they had hoped he would.
