The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286

Benji looked at the ground and said seriously, "Even if I've offended you, I hope this won't affect your relationship with Kate. She's very innocent, and even if she occasionally does things that are hard to fathom, it's only because she doesn’t know it's wrong. Her mother left when she was very young, and none of us taught her about these things.

That's why she's so naive. So, please blame me for everything she's done wrong."

After saying these things, Benji seemed to regain his strength. He raised his head and looked at Darius, continuing, "I know you're a kind and reasonable man."

When he met Benji's eyes, Darius couldn't bring himself to shake his head, but he didn't want to let Benji off the hook so easily.

After a few seconds, he came up with the perfect response-he shrugged, then looked away and focused on Holt, who'd been waiting for him with his arms crossed.

When he met Darius’ eyes, he put his arms down, his gaze mocking. "Are you ready to fight me?" He sized Darius up. You might be poor, but you're definitely brave enough to do anything for love. It's too bad that I'm your opponent, though.”

Holt stretched his neck and said, “You know what you remind me of? A poor, defenseless little chick. I can send you flying with a single punch, so I'll give you a chance to back out of this.”

Darius sighed, finally out of patience. He was about to make his move when he saw the pleased look on Holt's face.

"I remember you being very argumentative despite your poverty, especially when you were angry. It looks like you've learned to keep your mouth shut! I suppose plenty of people have taught you the ways of the world, but it's a shame none of them taught you to respect others." He wiggled his wrists as he spoke.

"I guess that’s a lesson that I'll have to teach you; remember to pay me when this is over, though!”

He immediately threw a punch at Darius’ face after saying that, but Darius didn't even flinch. Kate watched them from the villa, feeling a cold sweat break out. She wanted to run out there to stop this, but she couldn't. She knew things would only become more chaotic if she showed up.
