The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302

Austin was still on the ground, his eyes glassy with fear.

Edward had guessed every word he intended to say.However, the way Edward said those words made them sound less threatening.

"Unless...he and that other guy earlier were never afraid of my family in the first place," Austin thought.

Realizing that, he quickly turned to look at Darius, who now sat in the car.

He continued to ponder, "This man owns the latest gun model, which comes with a hefty price tag.It’s enough to purchase at least a quarter of Anderson Group’s shares! If I hadn't accidentally seen : the gun earlier, I wouldn't have realized it was such an expensive model!"

He then propped himself off the ground, sitting upright while still trembling.

Throughout the process, he cautiously eyed Edward.He knew Edward was a skilled fighter and was worried the latter would stop him from trying to talk to Darius.

If that were to happen, he would never get the chance to see Darius again.

Fortunately, things went smoothly; Austin turned to look at Darius through the car window.

Darius’ attention was not on Austin at all.

Even his gun was now missing.

A tinge of disappointment flashed across Austin’s eyes, thinking he had imagined everything.

Meanwhile, Edward's brows twitched slightly.

He then walked over to place a hand on Austin’s shoulder.

Austin had just sat upright, but Edward’s brief contact made him sprawl on the ground again.

Following that, Austin zoned out, his mind no longer focusing on the present.

Yet, he soon noticed that Edward had run out of patience.

His body broke out in an uncontrollable tremor while his eyes widened.

Sadly, Edward did not allow him to speak.

Edward stomped hard onto Austin's shoulder, calmly stating, "I hate that look of yours.

All I want to do is gouge your eyes out, so it'll take a lot of effort from me not to act on that urge."

That only terrified Austin even more.

Without giving the matter more thought, he shut his eyes, then thrashed around to break free.

The other teenagers that had remained silent all this while silent raised their heads, looking at Austin in unison.

"Austin Anderson," one of them snarled through gritted teeth, "Is that man telling the truth? Are you not the secret heir to the Anderson family? And your father didn’t send you away from home because he wanted to keep you safe?"

Austin’s eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets.

He glared daggers at Edward, kicking around with a growing force as he wanted to get off the ground.

Simultaneously, confidence thrummed in his veins while he boomed, "What did you say? How dare you? You can say anything about me, just not this! William is my dad, and he promised to give the company’s shares to me—my name is in his will! The Anderson family will belong to me if anything happens to him, be it him dying or disappearing! As for Kate, who he publicly claims is his daughter, she’s not his biological daughter! She's the offspring of my dad’s ex-wife and some other man! Her existence proves my dad got cheated on! Dad merely kept Kate to distract the public from the cheating scandal.That’s the only way he could protect me!"

His gaze drilled into the car, piercing through to Darius by then.He could tell from a while ago that Darius was Edward’s superior, which meant only Darius could save him now.

Hence, he stretched his neck as far as it would go to yell at the latter.

At that point, he had struggled so much that his voice grew hoarse.

"H-Hey, m-mister! That guy who got into the car earlier! I know this guy holding me down belongs to you.Please come out so that I can explain things to you.I can also show you the share transfer letter my dad left with me."

Darius leaned against the front passenger with his arms crossed.His gaze darted ahead, communicating with Erin at once.

Erin had since shifted to the backseat.

Her brows furrowing in that instant as she reported, "Mr.Reid, this Austin Anderson guy seems like he’s telling the truth.However, what he says doesn’t match the results of my investigation."
