The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210

Kate bowed at Darius with the utmost respect just then. "There’s nothing much I have to repay you. Regarding the company's shares, I'll contact my dad and discuss things clearly with him. Also, my dad previously gifted me two companies within the entertainment industry. While I can't do much, I can give these companies to you."

Both Darius’ brows raised.

He was very much surprised by the generosity of the woman before him, so he asked, “What do you want in exchange for giving me those companies?"

Kate did not expect Darius to react so candidly. Nevertheless, she knew he had likely agreed to her request then. After sighing in relief, she answered,” I hope my dad can have a better experience at the detainment center."

Darius’ hand that swiped at his laptop's touchpad froze.

He looked up at Kate, examining her serious expression before grinning. Yet, his grin was not because he was happy.

"You think," he suddenly said, ‘That your father can’t contact you because I had someone lock him up at the detainment center?"

Kate gritted her teeth. She was unable to maintain her polite smile anymore. “Indeed, that’s what I previously believed before you asked me this.”

Gulping, she forced her body to stop trembling and added, "But it seems like I've mistaken things. I'm sorry."

She immediately bowed again, asking, "Can you please tell me where my dad is now? And how do I contact him?"

The comer of Darius' lip quirked upward, indicating his sudden interest. He rubbed his chin before replying, "Your father got arrested by the authorities for speeding on the highway because he wanted to rush to Elizabeth’s aid. According to our country’s law, there's no way for you to reach his phone now unless you know where the authorities are holding your father. If so, you can head there and visit him."

Darius expected Kate to react with utter panic, but that did not happen. Curious, he remarked, "You don't seem worried."

Kate nodded. "Although what I'm about to say will upset you significantly, I feel you'll be even angrier if I don't."

Briefly quirking a brow, Darius’ expression returned to its usual blankness as he silently continued reading through the contracts on his laptop.

Although Kate did not understand what he was thinking, she made her next move based on what she believed and her opinions of Darius.

She said, "You seem like someone who often dirties his hands. That's why I was worried before that you had kidnapped my dad, who I can no longer contact, and tortured him. However, I believe it's fair if my father pays for his wrongdoings in the detainment center. And since he's safe there, I'm not worried."

"You can sit down now if that's the case,” replied a smirking Darius. “I'll discuss things with your father before he gets released from the detainment center. Then, I'll decide on a suitable outcome for today's incident based on his behavior."

Kate nodded.

When she saw Darius was about to shut his eyes, she bit her lips.
