The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72

Luke flinched in fear when he heard the caller’s question. As for what the identity of the caller was and why he could make Luke flinch in fear, the answer was very obvious.

The caller was none other than the current head of the Erihal Group and Luke’s father, Ian Erihal!

“Are you deaf?!” Ian bellowed from the other end of the phone in rage.

“N-No sir!” Luke stuttered fearfully.

“I asked you a question! Answer me!” Ian bellowed in rage.

Luke flinched again in fear, but said nothing. He could not bring himself to answer his father’s question. He dared not tell his father that he made use of his private bodyguards to take out a nobody. It wasn’t because he severely injured Darius, but because he made use of his father’s special bodyguards even after the harsh warning his father gave him.

Ian let out an audible sigh of frustration at the other end of the phone. Over thirty seconds passed before Ian finally broke the silence. “I see you have refused to talk. No problem, I’ll find out the truth myself!” Ian declared before disconnecting the call

Luke trembled from fear after Ian disconnected the phone call, but he forced himself to calm down.

His father Ian Erihal was the head of the Erihal Group, and had three sons, with him being the last son. His two brothers were incredibly brilliant and were currently studying outside the country. Although people refused to say it out loud, everybody knew that the two brothers were competing with each other for the position of head of the Erihal Group, hence their equally brilliant records. As for Luke, no one even considered him to be a threat.

Their thoughts were perfectly normal and on point. Even though he was younger and still just a university student, not only was he bad at education, he was also involved in several controversial cases. Not only that, he was also rude, arrogant and extremely condescending towards other members or workers in the Erihal Group

Sadly no matter how angered or disgusted they were by Luke, there was nothing they could do. He was the son of Ian Erihal after all. Not to mention his father covered for him a lor several times, and used his influence to sweep his many crimes under the rug As such, Luke completely feared and respected his father. He lonew fully well that if he were to lose the protection of his father, there would be no chance of redemption for him.

It was why he forced himself to calm down. What made his father suddenly veil at him? Apart from sending a member of his private bodyguards to secretly fall Darius he had not done anything out of the ordinary. He even spent three days in the hospital and was only discharged recently. Luke fell deep into his thoughts. No matter what conclusion he arrived at he couldn’t help but feel that he had committed a grave mistake.

Ian Erihal grasped his head with his two hands. There were dark circles under his eyes, showing how much stress he had been since the last 24 hours. What started as a normal workday for him had turned out to be his worst nightmare.
