The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273

A relieved sigh slipped out of Wilson when he saw Darius slowing to a halt. In his eyes, that meant the latter was willing to help him. However, he was oblivious to how Darius was one step ahead and had figured out the tank meant bad news.

Darius had merely stopped to ponder the best course of action-to let Wilson die now or save him.

He did not have to think for much longer, though, as a man soon exited one of the tanks and approached him with a baseball bat.

Darius then quirked a brow before deciding to stay silent.

Contrarily, the approaching man did not share the same sentiment. He stood before Darius, rage causing the tips of his ears to redden. He gripped the baseball bat so hard that even the veins running down his forearms popped.

Still, he gritted his teeth, suppressing his wrath to say, “I’m Benji Anderson. I believe you've guessed my family background now that you know my last name."

Darius’ brows raised upon seeing the former. He never thought someone could behave so formally despite being furious.

Impressed, he nodded and replied, "What's your relationship with Kate?"

“I'm her dad's younger brother.” Benji jutted his chin while swinging the baseball bat over his shoulder. After making Darius see he was grabbing something, he fished a phone out of his pocket and tossed it at Darius.

Darius did not want the phone. Yet, that was when Kate rushed over, and he could tell from her hitched breathing that she was in tears. Giving in, he sighed as he caught the phone that flew toward him. He then switched it on and saw a surveillance video playing.

It showed him in a bathrobe, walking into the living room where Kate was getting changed. The video cut off right after he sat down on the couch. Eventually, Darius looked at the top of the screen, realizing the video was from a mainstream media platform.

What's worse, the video had already reached first place on the most viewed ranking. That made Darius' brows furrow. He opened the comments section, where many shocked netizens were discussing.

"Oh! I recognize this man. He's the top student at Kingston University."

"Yeah, and he has a legendary family background! He's the heir to a wealthy company but got separated from them when he was a kid."

"That's true, but why do I recall him having a girlfriend? I also remember him pestering her after they broke up. Does it mean his so-called love for her was a lie?"

"My guess is that he now has so much money that he changed. He probably doesn't need to focus all his effort on one woman anymore-he can get whoever he wants."
