The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91

Pearl Chamberlain was the number three beauty in the whole of Kingston University. Just like her title, she was incredibly beautiful, and Darius had previously had several interactions with Pearl

The first time was when he was eating out in a restaurant. He had crashed into her accidentally and spilled water on her clothes. In his bid to apologize, he wiped the water on her clothes with his hands, but what he got were two painful slaps from Pearl. He was also labeled a perverted scum by her

He had definitely left a very bad first impression on her that day

The second time was during the charity gala. Both he and Pearl had their eyes on a 150 year old wine which was auctioned at the charity gala. They both had a bidding war for it, and in the end Darius had won the bidding war and the wine by placing a bid of four million dollars

This further served to worsen the relationship between him and the third ranked beauty of Kingston University

If it were before he solved the problems in his company, he would not have bothered himself too much about the news. After all, he and Pearl were not on good terms at all Besides, he still had pressing matters to attend to then

That wasn’t the case now as he had resolved the matters concerning his company

Curious to see what kind of trouble the third ranked beauty landed herself in, he opened the class group chat and started reading through the messages

Stan: (Our goddess Pearl is in trouble!)

Clinton (What do you mean she’s in trouble Stan?]

Timmy Yeah, what do you mean?)

Stan (This is top secret information, but I heard that Pearl’s father, Mr. Chamberlain offended someone in the business world, hence they’re targeting his company. I

Xander (Woah! Really?

Timmy (Do you know who they offended, Stan?]

Stan: (of course. He offended Mr. Wilson Gillette from the Gillette Group. As for what the offence is, I’m not sure about that. However, the matter is truly a grave one.

Laura (This is incredibly shocking!

Stan (I’m telling you! If things remain the way they are, then Chamberlain Corporations will be annexed by the Gillette Group)

Darius naturally had no idea of the two business companies prior to the Pearl incident, which was completely normal, as companies like Nix Inc., were in a whole different league of their own

In the end, both Chamberlains Corporation and Gillette Group may be considered mediocre at best. After all, Nix, Inc. was a multibillion-dollar enterprise. It was impossible to compare it to corporations with net worth in the millions, such as Chamberlains Corporations and Gillette Group

Even though he didn’t know much about the companies, it was obvious from what he researched that Chamberlain Corporation could not afford to go against the Gillette Group. The latter was worth more than three times the former after all

Darius wasn’t really interested in the conflict between the Chamberlains Corporation and the Gillette Group: after all, he and Pearl didn’t get along. Furthermore, he reasoned that Pearl’s father would almost certainly have strong connections or prominent people he could call on to back him up. There was no need for him to get involved in something so trivial.

Despite that, Darius was interested in the Gillette Group. It was strange that majority of the information on the business group was vague, so he decided to ask for Bruce’s help. Erin was busy in West Atlantics Int’l. so he couldn’t call her to help him with this

Bruce answered the phone call almost immediately, promising to provide Darius with an in-depth review of the Gillette Group the following day. Despite his curiosity as to why Darius was examining a minor business group, he dared not ask questions

Darius thanked Bruce genuinely before disconnecting the phone call, pleased with his reaction. He then placed hrs on the bedside stand before retiring for the night

Even though he wasn’t interested in the conflict between the two companies, he was curious to know what secrets the Gillette Group had
