The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206

Elizabeth boldly locked eyes with Darius, stating, ‘You claim to be the major shareholder with more than half of this company's shares, yet I've never seen you before. I can, however, apologize for everything that happened today if you can prove it.”

Darius’ brows creased into a frown. He reached out an arm, resting it on the bench’s armrest while tapping his fingers against the metal.

Growing irritation radiated from his very being as he replied, "According to what I recall, I've proven it to you before."

It was like a blizzard had erupted in Darius’ gaze, causing the temperature around everyone to lower drastically.

"And you should know that, as your superior, I’m not obligated to prove myself to you. Instead, you should correct your current behavior toward me,” Darius added.

He then stood and gazed at the group approaching them with a sneer. " Took you guys long enough."

Shock coated the face of the control room personnel who went to confirm Darius’ claim about the plane. Nevertheless, the personnel kept mum and merely shot a look at the other personnel accompanying the group all this while.

The latter instantly understood the meaning behind that look. He nodded at Darius, announcing, ‘The examination results have proved your previous claims are true."

That was no surprise for Darius, nor did he care to ask about what went wrong with the plane. He locked eyes with the personnel, stating, “I believe my secretary and I can now leave.”

His stare made the hairs down the personnel’s back stand.

"My sincerest apologies, sir. The two men that we’ve detained claim you killed their mother. I believe we still need an explanation for that.”

Darius returned to his chair, leaning against the backrest as he sighed. He had forgotten about that matter entirely.

That was when Edward stepped forward with his arms folded behind his back. A murderer's aura exuded from his intense stare. He looked at the personnel and stated, “I'll go with you guys, as I'm responsible for that.”

The personnel's eyes narrowed, his gaze shifting between Darius and Edward.

Darius stood just then. With his usual stoic countenance, he stepped in front of Edward and faced the personnel head-on. "Do you believe him?"

"I don’t." The personnel waved dismissively, shook his head, and resumed,” But I don't believe you either. I won't trust anything you guys say until there’s evidence.”

A frosty look clouded Darius's eyes as he chuckled. "So, if I said I had to leave this place..."
