The Consortium’s Heir Chapter 175

Doris didn’t say anything else until they reached the college’s entrance. When she heard Erin start to

drive away, she suddenly spun around and cupped her hands around her mouth before shouting, “Mr.

Reid, I really do like you! I’ll be here, and you can come over any time!”

Her invitation was so obvious that it made Darius’ vein twitch. His abilities only made her voice sound

louder in his ears.

“Man, I was just thinking of going after her. Look at her face and those legs! Who would’ve known she’d

be the type of woman to publicly confess her love for some rich man!”

“Oh, my God! There’s another gorgeous woman in the car!”

“Come on, forget about it. Let’s go. We obviously don’t stand a chance here.”

Darius raised an eyebrow when he saw the young men standing nearby stalk off. He seemed to

understand what Doris was up to now. Sure enough, when he glanced at her, he saw her cheeky smile.

He didn’t even need to think to know what had happened-she’d used him!

To his surprise, he didn’t feel mad. On the contrary, he was amused. She was smart and clever, but it

didn’t turn him off.

Erin could see his expression through the rearview mirror. Darius could sense her eyes on him, but he

didn’t meet her gaze. He looked down at his phone and said, “We can go now.”

She jumped a little before stepping on the accelerator. As the car sped along smoothly, he said, “I

thought you’d have her enrolled in the furthest, poorest college you could find, regardless of how good or

bad it was.”

Erin’s hair stood on end, and her breathing sped up almost uncontrollably, but she didn’t falter. She took

a long, deep breath before calming down. She grimaced and said, “Yes, I thought about it, but that was

all. She’s useful to us, and she’s very naive. I couldn’t bring myself to do something so selfish.” She felt

her strength leave her after saying that because she didn’t know how things would play out from there.

Nothing else mattered anymore.

She continued driving, mentally preparing herself to get fired. Darius didn’t say anything for the longest

time. Finally, he sighed and said, “You’re an excellent employee. I hope you’ll ensure your heart is in the

right place in the future. You’ve repeatedly overstepped the boundary, and I don’t want to see it happen

again.”

Erin relaxed a little at his words. She knew she’d made it out alive this time, but she was on her last

chance. If she were to make the same mistake, it would be the end for her.

Darius’ voice pulled her out of her reverie, immediately making her nervous. “Someone’s coming. Have

someone from the office come here and prepare to redistribute the assets of some of the other

companies.”

Erin didn’t understand what he was saying. She was about to ask him more when she saw two black

cars suddenly appear before them. Instantly, her heart froze. She wanted to turn the car in a different

direction, so she put the pedal to the metal and tugged on the emergency brakes.

There was a loud bang that left the car shaking. The airbags exploded out and blocked her view.

Darius knew that it was time to put his plan in place. He pushed the door open and said, “Remember

what I just told you.”

When Erin finally managed to push the airbag away, all she could see was Darius’ broad back. He stood

before the car and faced several men in black suits holding baseball bats. She watched with bated

breath.

This was such a dangerous situation that she couldn’t control her movements. She reached out to open

the door but quickly retracted her hand because she’d remembered Darius’ instructions. She breathed

deeply to calm herself down before picking her phone up and calling Zack.

At the same time, Darius leaned against his Bugatti Veyron and crossed his arms. His gaze was sharp

as he looked at the men, and his tone was frosty. “Which board members are you guys the bodyguards

of?”

He took in their looks of fear and knew he’d guessed correctly. His expression turned mocking. “I’ve

already seen what you look like, and I’m sorry to inform you that you’d fail to injure me even if you were

to attack me all at once.”

One of the bodyguards didn’t like Darius’ condescending tone and decided to teach him a lesson. He

wanted Darius to know he was a professional bodyguard, not a pushover. And so, he shot at Darius.

Darius already knew what went through his mind the moment the thought was formed. As an awakened

martial artist, there was no way he would allow the bodyguard to come close to him. As a result, the

bodyguard was sent flying before his feet even fully left the ground.

Darius slowly put his hands down, then said, “Although you guys were the ones to make the first move,

I’m still willing to give you a chance. Whose bodyguards are you? If all of you decide to stay silent, I’ll

make all the board members go bankrupt and let them know that you were the ones to rat on them.”

He wasn’t even standing up straight, but it didn’t impede on his overpowering aura. This terrified the

bodyguards, and they felt like they were suffocating in his presence.

In that instant, Erin was as terrified as they were. She was still seated in the car and trying to put the

airbag away after hanging up when she saw smoke rising from the front of the car. Her heart raced.

She’d seen a smoke bomb before, and it looked exactly like this. However, this thought only stayed in

her mind for a few seconds because she was sure the smoke was coming from Darius himself. She

didn’t. know the reason for it, but she did know that she was safe as long as she was with him.
