The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306

Even Austin’s broken ribs did not hinder him from loudly voicing the shock in his heart.He gradually dropped his hand, widening his eyes and clenching his teeth at Maurice.

"That's impossible!" Darius shrugged but did not speak anymore.

That was when a woman’s voice rang out from a nearby car.

Apart from Darius, no one else had noticed it arriving at the scene.

Moments passed when Kate descended the car, her arms crossed, and chin held high at Austin.

"Today is the first time I’ve ever heard your name.I know my father secretly had more than one family and how he fathered many bastards."

"However."

A corner of her lip curled as she sneered, "I don’t care.What concerns me more is that your mother—my aunt—had been plotting to inherit the Anderson family wealth many years ago.She even used the despicable method of switching yours and Maurice’s places without us knowing."

Still kneeling on the ground, Austin paled as his gaze shifted from Darius to Kate.

Austin had seen Kate on television many times and knew she was a relatively naive person.

At least, among everyone at the scene, she was the purest and most easily fooled.

Thus, Austin scrunched his nose and crawled, trying to approach her.

Kate stood unmoving, her eyes locked on Austin with complicated emotions.

In truth, she was willing to accept the boy as her half- brother when she first learned of his existence.

However, she never expected to receive a scandalous document shortly after.It relayed information and evidence about how Austin was a fraud.

Many years ago, Kate’s aunt lied about her biological son, which was Austin, being Kate’s half-brother.

She then adopted Maurice to cover her tracks.

All of that baffled Kate, especially when she heard how her real brother, Maurice, had been living a life full of torment all these years.

It made her feel very uncomfortable, even though she had never met Maurice, nor did she initially welcome the idea of a half- brother.

She stood rooted to the spot, uncertainty clouding her once bright eyes.

Maurice was already heading into Darius’ car, but he halted when he heard Kate’s voice.

Then, he swung his head around to look at her.

His gaze, akin to a brilliant beam, struck through her body.

Sensing someone staring at her, Kate frowned and turned toward the side of Darius’ car.
