The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246

Erin saw a message appear on her laptop screen.

In it, Darius explained his current situation, causing her to frown.

She looked up at Bridget, alerting, "Mr.Reid might be in trouble.I’m unsure if he’s sustain any physical injuries from this unforeseen situation."

As soon as Bridget heard that first sentence, she put away the map she held and got up to leave.

Only when she stood at the door did she hear the last sentence.

Thus, she stopped to say, "I have some doubts."

Erin smiled, nodding.

"I understand what you’re confused about, but you won’t feel that way after reading the rest of what Mr.Reid has sent us."

Erin’s composure alleviated Bridget’s anxiety at that moment.

She mused, "Among everyone I know, no one cares for Darius more than Erin.So, if she’s calm, it must mean Darius isn’t in real danger."

With that thought, she paced over to read the message on Erin’s laptop.

Nevertheless, her lips twitched, and she could not hold herself back.

"Thank you for informing me about Mr.Reid’s situation, but I’ve decided to go over anyway.I fear he’s still exposed to danger since the enemy has many people on their side."

Erin nodded, not stopping her from leaving.

In the meantime, back at the hotel, Kate had opened the door.

All the men yelling for her came rushing in.

Their forceful entrance shoved Kate onto the ground.

Upon seeing that, Darius’ finger twitched, but he did not plan to help her.

Kate massaged the back of her head, where a bald spot and her injury from the plane incident were.

It had slightly healed but was now aching from the impact.

The pain was so intense that Kate felt a little dizzy, unable to get from the floor.She hoped that Darius would give her a hand, but much to her disappointment, he did not move.

Contrary to his lack of reaction, the men clamored even more.

Although their yells sounded angry, the looks on their faces suggested otherwise; it seemed like they were subtly trying to suppress their smiles.

Darius remained on the couch with a stoic countenance.

"You’ve put in quite the effort to get me inside this room.Sadly, I’m a busy person with limited time to waste.I might not be able to play along with your entire charade, so if there’s something you wish to say, get to it."

Silence engulfed the room again.

The men’s eyes were on Darius, shock coating all their faces.

"W-What do you mean by that? How dare you imply that we set you up in this situation!" exclaimed the leader of the men, whose voice started out meek but eventually toughened as he found the perfect excuse to blame Darius.

He then spoke as if his assumptions were true.
