The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308

Austin’s attention was on Kate, who continued to gaze longingly at him but did not seem like she was getting out of the car anytime soon.

Only then did he truly realize he was getting deserted.

The young lady, whose name appeared several times in the background research documents he asked for, now behaved far more mercilessly than her supposed "naive" nature.

His jaw fell wide open as he cried, "what are you doing, Kate? I’m your brother! So what if we have different fathers? We still share the same bloodline—we’re both Andersons! I’m just an Anderson on my mother’s side.Yet, you’re ditching me here? I know you’re capable of saving me! It’s just that you’re not trying harder!"

He yelled louder with every passing second.He would have run after Kate’s car if not for the pain in his chest.

On the other hand, Kate was frowning.

Her chest tightened with guilt when she heard his hoarse cries.

Panicked, she turned to look ahead at Erin, who did not hesitate to start the car and pull down the handbrake.

It was evident that Erin did not plan to stick around and wait for Austin.

Kate turned the other way and saw Darius looking down at his lap while in his car.

Based on her guesses, she felt he was likely working on a laptop.

When Kate looked up, Edward had already approached Austin, who lay on the ground again.She had no clue what had happened in between but could tell the view outside her window seemed peaceful.

Nothing about the scene seemed like someone was about to die, except for the screaming teenagers that tried to flee.

That final detail made everything click into place; everyone’s actions proved to Kate that Austin was unimportant to them.

Thus, she gulped and asked meekly, "Miss Erin, about Austin...is there really no turning back for him?"

One of Erin's brows raised.

Not a word came from her as she did not know how to respond.

She thought, "Austin's existence is indeed a mistake.Not to mention, he’s done horrible things and hurt many people, including Kate.He’s about to receive the punishment he deserves, yet Kate’s here, trying to plead on his behalf? Why would she do this? Then again, I won’t accept her reasons—Austin’s punishment is long overdue."

At the same time, in the other car, Darius’ lips curved into a sincere smile when he sensed what Erin was about to say.

A frosty look took over Erin’s face while she coldly replied, "What you said surprises me, Miss Anderson.There is, indeed, no turning back for Austin.He has harmed so many people, and the suffering he caused them is irreversible."

While she spoke, her eyes remained glued onto the rearview mirror, taking in the way Kate’s face warped.

The final expression on Kate's face seemed to say, "What do you mean? Why don't I understand what you're saying?"

Erin could no longer maintain a controlled demeanor by then, so she stopped trying.

"I know you have feelings for Mr.Reid.Many other outstanding women surround him daily, and I don’t really mind their presence."
