The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264

Darius did not care about whatever rhetoric Wilson brought up.

Thus, he did not respond to the latter’s claims and turned to look at Cerys instead, stating, "This young lady is your daughter, and I've hurt her."

Only then did Wilson spare Cerys a glance.

Yet, what baffled everyone at the scene was his lack of emotion toward her.

All he did was nod and apathetically reply, "Indeed.

She’s my badly behaved daughter, which is why I’m grateful you showed up and put her in place, Mr.Reid."

A scoff came from Darius as he thought, "Wilson’s implying I purposely came to the banquet to punish his daughter."

He did not verbally express his opinion but kept both hands in his pockets and nodded.

"Yes, ve already punished your two misbehaving sons on your behalf, so I don’t mind disciplining your daughter too.Though, I would never end their lives because I don’t have any bad blood with you, Gillettes."

Wilson’s eyes grew wide in that instant.

His heart rate spiked as he could tell there was more to Darius’ words.

He then thundered, "What the hell have you done to Thomas?"

His voice boomed so loudly that it made everyone jolt and tremble.

Some people even looked directly into his eyes without much thought.

After silence hung in the air for a couple of minutes, everyone avoided looking at him.

Their hearts pounded with anxiety as they had just learned something the Gillette family did not want them to.

At that point, there was no guarantee that the Gillettes would do anything to threaten them.

Having worried about this outcome for the entire day, some guests wanted to leave.

One of them stepped forward to bow deeply at Wilson.

Subsequently, his face paled as he said through chattering teeth, "M-My apologies, M-Mr.Gillette.I don’t think I-I can attend tonight’s banquet anymore.My company just phoned and informed me of an issue with one of my projects.They need me back at the scene to resolve the issue now."

All color had drained from Wilson’s face by then.He knew it was a lie but had no reason to decline the former’s request, so he nodded.

"Okay.If you need any help, feel free to seek me out at once.I'll do my best to help you in my personal capacity."

The person left the venue in tears as Wilson’s offer moved him.

At least, that was what Wilson thought.

Still, Wilson did not imagine that about a third of his guests would come up with various excuses to flee the scene after he allowed the person to leave.

No one dared step foot into the villa.
