The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259

Darius knew that meant the hostess wanted to do something vicious or planned to ruin his reputation and humiliate him.

Despite that, curiosity filled Darius’ mind as he looked forward to seeing what tricks the hostess had up her sleeve.

Thus, he silently stood there with his arms behind him.

That reaction was not what the hostess expected.Her lips parted slightly in shock, but it only lasted briefly as she soon snapped out of her daze.

Then, she fished a document from her pocket and revealed it to everyone.

"We invited 120 guests for tonight's banquet, and ‘Darius Reid’ isn't one of them.Furthermore, our guests have assigned hostesses who will lead them to their seats—but you don’t have a hostess.Not to mention, you seem unaware of our customs, so I doubt you’ve ever been on the guest list of the Gillette family’s parties before."

The hostess’ voice grew louder by the second.

"I believe everyone here knows only the wealthiest figures in Almiron city, or any other city, can appear in our guest list!"

Confusion filled her face as she stared at Darius.She raised both brows and rounded her eyes like an innocent victim, hinting for the latter to explain.

Because she looked so pitiful, it sparked anger in every male guest present, causing them to scowl at Darius.

Seeing all those frowns entertained Darius, who did not bother to hide his amusement, so he chuckled sarcastically.

"I know many of you here have little wealth.You guys assume you're wealthy just because you received an invite from the Gillette family.That has also caused you guys to overestimate your status in society.Erin stood aside the entire time, but her jaw fell open right then.She could not believe Darius had candidly insulted everyone there.Her eyes became glazed with worry, fearing that the men would attack Darius.Even so, she immediately concealed how she felt, thinking it was unwise to reveal her emotions since many cameras were recording outside the venue.

She knew grave consequences would await if the cameras captured her faltering emotions.

Hence, she stood behind Darius with a stoic expression.

Even her gaze seemed empty.

Bridget stood beside the former.

Since Bridget had received professional training, she never once revealed how she felt on her face.

Nevertheless, Bridget secretly felt thrilled by the twist of events.

Never did she expect Darius to insult everyone at the venue.
