The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214

The screen showed what happened after Erin dragged the older woman out of the airport earlier.

Darius’ eyes darkened like a hailstorm had broken out in his eyes. Not a word came from him. He looked at Shelvin and stated, "I don't know who you are, and I can't do anything if you decide to publicize that video. However, I believe you're aware that doing so makes you my enemy.”

Shelvin's lips curved upward. "I know, but I'd still like to see you pay dearly. After all, I don't like people who own vast riches."

Darius’ eyes narrowed. He never anticipated Shelvin to say such things. Even so, he remained stoic. He only nodded before returning to his seat and shutting his eyes.

“Then I wish you luck,” Bridget, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said. She then took out her laptop and got comfortable in her seat.

That set off a sudden anxiety in Shelvin. He quickly shut off his phone, approached Bridget’s side, and looked at her laptop.

Bridget ignored him all the while, her eyes glued onto the screen before her. Still, she remarked, "Edward, this is all your fault."

Edward nodded and immediately stood from his seat. He walked over to the spot between Bridget and Shelvin, pivoted to face the latter, then stated with a low, icy growl,

"You shouldn't be standing here and trying to look at Bridget's laptop. It doesn’t matter what your reasons are.”

"I don't like how you're speaking to me," said Shelvin, whose eyes had narrowed.

"You're probably unaware, but you're no match for me. Of course, I understand a young man like yourself has unlikely seen much of the world, so I doubt you'll believe me. Thus, I intend to prove my superiority to you with my actions."

It was the first time Edward had gotten criticized that way. Rage soon boiled under his skin as he felt Shelvin was provoking him. What surprised him was he could not react in time when a strong wind blew from opposite him. His legs struggled to stay rooted on the ground. Soon, he lost balance and was nearly about to fall.

That was a feeling he had never felt before. The fear gushing inside him caused his eyes to grow wide.

Edward refused to give up just yet. He raised both fists, hoping gravity's pull would help him bash Shelvin. Alas, Edward realized that was wishful thinking as it did not happen.
