The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258

Darius could tell Erin was still nervous.

Even so, he no longer criticized her opinions nor spoke anymore.

All he did was drive in silence.

Stifled by the sudden tension, Bridget regretted riding shotgun just then.She complained in her heart, "No wonder Edward refused to join us!"

Pin-drop silence filled the car.

Such a void was something Bridget had never experienced before, so it suffocated her.She opened her mouth but then kept quiet out of fear, giving up after failing to speak a few times.

Not wanting to focus on the awkwardness any longer, Bridget decided it was better to look through the map on her phone instead.

That way, she could concentrate on ensuring Darius’ safety.

When she scanned every last detail on the map, she felt the car slow down.

Numerous expensive cars had parked in the space ahead.

Yet, none cost nearly as much as the car Darius drove.

Thus, when he arrived at the road before Remnard Estate, everyone halted in their tracks, eyes glued onto his pricey vehicle.

Envy and interest lingered in everyone’s gazes, but Darius did not care about the attention he received.He honked at the car in front, prompting whoever was in it to hurry up.

What happened next shocked Bridget and Erin; they watched as the driver ahead drove closer to the roadside, clearing a path on the previously blocked road.

Darius knew the car was making way for him, so he arrogantly floored the gas pedal, driving down the road ahead at full speed.

Next to him, Bridget’s mouth had rounded into an "O" shape.

It stayed that way for the longest time before she eventually turned her attention to Darius.

"I can’t believe that happened, Mr.Reid.I’ve never witnessed such a thing in all the years I’ve served by your side.Almiron City has continued to shock me, as I’ve never encountered a place with social rules like theirs.In fact, I’ve never considered the possibility of such rules."

Simultaneously, Erin, who was in awe, nodded to the former’s words.She chimed in, "Mr.Reid, I didn’t think such bizarre social customs could occur in real life.Don’t the authorities or city officials usually handle these situations?"

Her brows scrunched together with growing curiosity.

While asking that, she opened her laptop and typed across the keyboard at lightning speed, eager to learn why the city operated that way.

Darius only focused on driving and did not answer the women’s questions.

The only time he spoke was when he calmly pointed out, "Look at the cars on both sides of the road; the further down we travel, the pricier these vehicles seem.There are a few—not more than three—things out of place so far, and they’ve occurred in the more than 100 cars we just drove past.Perhaps some attendees from wealthy families arrived here in less expensive vehicles on short notice.Alternatively, those people might be young heirs and haven’t inherited their family’s wealth or companies.Therefore, they’re unable to afford higher-end cars."

Bridget and Erin dropped whatever they were doing at once.

They then examined the scenery outside their car for some minutes before nodding sternly.
