The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229

As she spoke, she pointed at a guy lying on the ground.

Darius looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "You're worried about the Gillette family coming here."

Alicia nodded. "Yes, sir. They're extremely unreasonable and act based on their whims and fancies. There's no way we can predict what they'll do." She looked at Darius. "If we stay here, we'll put ourselves in grave danger.

Also, the fact that Samantha did a one-eighty worries me. It proves that she knows they're almost here. We've kept an eye on her all this time, so I have no idea how she found out about that."

Darius took in her frustrated expression, then walked into the courtyard. He put his hands behind his back and looked in the direction that the Gillette family's cars were coming from. ‘You're worried that because the Gillettes know we're here, they'll be able to swiftly come up with a counterattack against us."

Alicia didn't expect him to understand her so well. She widened her eyes in surprise. Darius didn't turn to look at her, though.

Instead, a mocking and disdainful smile curved his lips.

‘They might have a hundred and one ways to deal with us, but none of them will work against me. Otherwise, Hank wouldn't have died by my hands." He stretched his neck.

It allowed Alicia to sense his murderous intent, but all it did was bewitch her. He was so handsome to her now, and it dazzled her.

Darius found it odd when he didn't receive a reply. He turned back to look at her and asked, "So, what else are you worried about?"

She shook her head. "Nothing. I’m unbelievably reassured now." He nodded.

At this moment, Samantha, who'd been weeping pitifully this whole time, suddenly stood up. She went back to looking like her usual self and moved to put her hands into her pockets. However, she stopped at the last second and brushed the dust off her clothes instead.

Darius glanced at her and clearly caught the disdain on her face. He knew that it was meant for him, and he narrowed his eyes.

She was an odd woman, and it seemed that he had to change his impression of her. He felt that it'd be dangerous if he thought of her as a normal woman. So, he walked over to her.

Shelvin's expression turned steely. He propped himself up with both arms and prepared to get to his feet.

Darius cleared his throat. "You look just like a tortoise now, you know."

Shelvin rolled his eyes. "Man, you're savage. If not for you, I wouldn't have run all the way here. Do you know how hard that was?"

Darius put his hands in his pockets, then shook his head. ‘That's not exactly right. It might be tough for an ordinary person, but not for you. After all, despite your weaknesses, you're still a martial artist."

Shelvin looked exasperated. He glared at Darius and said, "It looks like you're not interested in what I'm about to tell you."

Instead of saying anything, Darius merely let out a scoff.

This made Shelvin's exasperation disappear immediately. He smiled brightly and spread his hands, saying, "I was just joking, of course."
