The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205

Not a word came from Darius. All he did was shut his eyes and continue to rest.

It was not long before Erin closed her laptop and stood, her eyes gleaming. "It's done, Mr. Reid."

At the same time, her features loosened with signs of exhaustion.

Darius opened his eyes, but before he could speak, the woman guffawed." Anyone can find out who owns the airline by searching it online. Besides, I'm the company's-"

No longer patient, Darius shot onto his feet and glared daggers at the woman. “I hope you remember that I own more than half of this airline company's shares. In other words, I have absolute control over this company, which means I can replace this company's board and executive manager as I please."

Fear coursed through the woman's veins.

She raised her head, casting a shaky look at Darius while musing, “I'm the second major chairperson in this company after Darius. I'm also the executive manager.

In saying that before a crowd, Darius is making others question my authority! I can't let him have his way anymore!"

Determined, she stood up and smoothed her clothes. "I hope you know you'll be in trouble with the law for saying all of that! The most obvious outcome is that you'll end up in jail!"

Darius studied her with a predatory jeer. "I can sense your fear through your every action. Regardless, you should know I don't care about your threats."

He shrugged as though facing jail time was a walk in the park for him.

The woman did not expect Darius, a mere human like everyone else, to react so stoically. It made her eyes widen in shock.

"Are you aware of the consequences your current words will bring?"

"I think," Darius sneered, "Rather than being concerned about me, you should worry about yourself. I know for a fact that I'll be safe."

Subsequently, he made a finger gun motion at the woman, raised it slightly, and loudly said, "Bang!"

The woman jolted, and her sudden action caused the bench she sat on to drag against the ground with a bone-chilling screech. Dense silence filled the space just then.

That was when Erin's snickering broke out, and it caught Darius’ attention.

"What has happened?" Darius asked.

"Mr. Reid, I think I've discovered something.” Not a tinge of fear showed on Erin's face. Instead, her eyes slightly curved with the faintest hint of anticipation. She promptly passed her now-open laptop over to Darius.
