The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97

Darius had just finished meeting with the top executives of Century Enterprises, a top company in Eden city which was under the Reid consortium when his phone rang 4

He checked the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number However, he decided to answer the phone call

“Hello.” Darius said as he answered the call.

There was a brief moment of silence before the caller spoke up.

“Hello Is this Darius Reid?” the caller asked.

Darius was taken aback when he heard the caller’s voice

The caller was definitely a lady

This situation piqued Darius interest. He could feel like he had heard the caller’s voice before, but couldn’t place where it was

“Yes, I am Darius Reid.” Darius answered

There was another brief moment of silence When the caller didn’t speak up for a few seconds, Darius couldn’t help but break the uncomfortable silence

“Who is this and how I may help you?” Darius asked. There was a tinge of slight impatience in his voice as he asked,

Albeit he was curious about the caller’s identity, he was too busy to care too much about it There were still other enterprises and business companies he had to visit He simply didn’t have the time to spare on this unexpected phone call

“Please pardon me. I am Pearl Chamberlain.” Pearl spoke up after hearing Darius’ impatient tone

‘Pearl Chamberlain? Darius thought inwardly No wonder the voice sounded so familiar It turned out that the caller was none other than the third ranked beauty in Kingston University

Yet, there was a confused expression on his face.

“Why is she calling me? Darius asked himself

He was genuinely confused at that moment. He made sure that Zack was the one who called the Chamberlains and handled the matter between them and the Gillette Group

The reason he did so was because he didn’t want the attention that came with him handling the issue personally. It was better if Zack handled the matter That way, he would have time to focus on other matters

Besides, he and Pearl were not on the best of terms now. He expected her to be furious after the turn of events at the charity gala. So, why was she calling him now?

While he was still contemplating the reason for Pearl’s call, Pearl spoke up.

“Be honest with me Are you the founder and chairman of West Atlantics Int’l? Pearl asked straightforwardly.

Her heart was beating rapidly at this moment. This was a very crucial question for her She was both anxious and nervous to hear Darius’ answer
