The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228

Darius’ ears perked up, and he realized he could hear several cars coming from a distance. His expression immediately turned icy. "I think I know why she's doing this."

Erin looked at him blankly.

He sucked in a deep breath, then said, "Because the Gillette family will be here in ten minutes, at most."

Erin and Alicia both frowned. They quickly got to their feet and hurried to stand before him, wanting to shield him with their bodies. They ended up standing shoulder to shoulder.

Darius lowered his head and looked at them with a smile on his face." There’s no need for you two to be so nervous. It won't solve the problem. If anything, it's just going to increase the time I need to spend on resolving this."

The two women shared a look, but neither of them said anything since this was only their first meeting. Then, they averted their gazes and breathed deeply. As they fell deep into their thoughts, Darius stretched his neck.

"Honestly, there's nothing to worry about. The person behind this hotel is the Gillette family's dog, and they're not going to allow anyone to bully their dog. Now that we have 10 percent of this hotel’s shares, it means that we have power over them. This will help hold the Gillette family back a little.

It doesn't mean much, but for the sake of their ego, the Gillette family won't give up on their dog. Unless, of course, Wilson Gillette is as generous as I am and willing to pay a high price for his dog. I doubt that'll happen, though." He shrugged, then leaned against a table nearby. "So, if I were you, I'd continue doing what I did before this."

As Erin listened to him speak, her earlier nervousness dissipated, and she quickly calmed down. She turned to him and bowed her head slightly, saying, "I’m sorry, sir. I lost control of myself earlier, but I'm fine now."

Then, she walked back over to her laptop and started typing again.

Darius looked at Alicia, who still stood before him. "Lyon's the most useless person I've ever met. He doesn't come from a wealthy family, nor does he have any talent. In fact, he doesn't even have friends. So, you can go ahead and do whatever you want."
