The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309

"I’ve always wanted live in a normal family, but I never got it.That’s why I’ve lost all hope of having that life."

While speaking, he leaned against the backseat, sighing deeply.

Only silence came from Darius as his nostrils slightly flared without anyone noticing.

The coppery stench of blood then hung at the back of his throat.It grew when Edward's footsteps came closer to their car.

At that moment, Darius knew things had gotten settled.

Maurice had been looking out the car window for some time now.

Thus, he saw everything that happened.

Now that Edward had returned, Maurice turned to look at Darius with a complicated expression.

All he asked was, "Mr.Reid? Are you someone with loads of money?"

Darius instantly understood what the boy meant and responded with an unexpectedly calm tone, "That I am.However, I don’t think poorer people should get killed at random or have their dignity attacked by others.I know what you’re thinking—I shouldn't have executed Austin Anderson."

Those candid words made Maurice’s eyes widen.

Yet, his gaze quickly returned to normal as he leaned into the seat, presenting himself with a calmer demeanor as he nodded.

"Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.He’s the same age as me, and he’s always gotten sheltered by his family, which makes him ignorant of many things.So, I feel you should’ve tried to forgive him earlier."

A grin curled across Darius’ face just then.

Although that was the case, his eyes became steely.

Maurice could feel his bones trembling beneath his skin as he looked into the former’s eyes.

Intimidated by the suspense, he lowered his head at once to focus on the bottom of the car.

Maurice knew it was probably wiser to speak or, at least, give a reaction to Darius.

Sadly, he could not manage even a squeak as fear had lodged at the back of his throat.

Not to mention, Maurice did not know how to alleviate Darius’ discontentment.

That was why he pursed his lips tightly shut, his gaze downcast.

The longest time passed, and Darius never got a response from Maurice, so he raised his head and noticed the boy’s gloomy expression from the rearview mirror.

His brow quirked before his eerily amused expression vanished entirely.

Alas, that only made Maurice’s heart race more.

His lower lip quivered while he thought, "I shouldn’t have disagreed with Mr.Reid.

That’s a huge mistake.

The whole thing is insignificant, but there’s now a massive gap between us because I had to shove my honest opinions at him, and I don’t know how to fix it..."

The cogs in his brain spun faster as he desperately wanted to resolve the tension.
