The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209

Kate intended to say more, but Darius suddenly opened his eyes.

His icy glare sent chills down everyone’s spines while he ordered the captain, ‘You may fly this plane at its regular speed if you're able to take off within ten minutes."

Anxiously, Kate chewed on her bottom lip while scrutinizing Darius’ face. Only after seeing his blank look did she realize he was serious. Thus, she nodded at the hesitant captain beside her.

"Go. Get the plane to Almiron City as quickly as you can.”

The seat in front of Darius was empty.

Kate did not hesitate to sit there and buckle her seatbelt.

"I don't think that’s your seat," said a frowning Darius. "Besides, it bothers me. He felt a hitch in Kate’s breath but did not dwell on it. Instead, he shut his eyes. The plane soon took off. Silence ensued in the cabin as no one wanted to bring up what had happened before taking off.

Throughout the journey, Kate kept looking behind her, but Darius’ eyes did not open, nor did he show signs of wanting to speak to her.

Some time passed when she could not hold herself back. She gazed at Darius, opening her mouth to speak softly but clearly.

"Mr. Reid, I believe we can discuss things. We have the same enemy, after all."

Erin’s features stiffened with discontent as she mused, ‘This woman eyed Mr. Reid from the start and kept trying to seduce him with her wealth. Ugh, I can stand that. Sadly, I had to tolerate her actions due to my inferior status and because Darius was awake. But I can't keep my anger in anymore! Besides, Mr. Reid is currently napping, so this is my chance!"

She parted her lips, wanting to shut Kate up, but Darius spoke beside her.” We may have the same enemy, but that doesn't mean you're not my enemy as well."

Darius’ eyes had opened again, revealing his stormy gaze.

Achill tingled down Kate’s spine, causing every muscle in her body to tremble.She clenched the hem of her skirt tightly, no longer daring to look at Darius. Eying his shoes, she squeaked,

"Everything that happened earlier was my fault. I’m willing to pay the price. All I ask is that you spare the airline company. Not to

mention, you have shares in the company too. If you resent my behavior, feel free to punish me in any way fit. I’m willing to put up with anything. Please spare the company. That way, you'll suffer fewer losses, even if you don't care about it.”

Darius softly chuckled, but everyone could sense the sarcasm dripping from histone.

‘That's impossible. Then again, a better way to phrase it is, ‘you're too late."
