The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 203

Darius spoke straightforwardly.

"I have some bad news for you. According to my investigation, your lover holds 20% of this airline company's shares. However, I own 51%. While the 20% grants your lover the status of being one of the top two major shareholders...”

The manager's face became pale. What shocked him more was that things had not ended there.

",..You're not someone capable. All you did was rely on your looks to seduce your current lover. You're only able to stand here and point fingers at me so rudely because your lover gave you this position," Darius continued.

He then cracked his neck, adding while he examined the manager's expression, ‘There’s more that I know, such as your lover's husband. His and my company rarely engage in collaborations as he's far too inferior."

The manager suddenly had a relaxed expression.

Upon seeing that, Darius' lips curled into a sneer.

"Of course, those are merely my opinions. The same can't be said for your lover. If her husband wanted to fire you and make you pay a hefty compensation for your affair, your lover would agree without hesitation.”

At that point, the manager's eyes widened. He could not utter a complete sentence without stuttering.

"Y-You've g-gone too far, Darius! H-How could you say such a thing!"

Darius arched a brow, his face no longer harboring signs of a good mood.

Everyone could sense an angry aura from Darius as he stared the manager down.

Darius felt the urge to engage in physical violence but could not, as he had already wasted plenty of time on the matter. He sighed, wanting to continue.

However, before he could continue speaking, the manager’s rearing laughter broke out.

"You must be hallucinating!” The manager remarked. "Aren't you aware of your identity? How could you have 51% of the airline company's shares?"

"I've met many people, but few are like you-the truth has unfolded, and it's crystal clear that you've lost this argument. Yet, you remain in denial. It's my first time seeing such a response. Perhaps I’ve encountered someone similar in the past, but because of my foul temper, they never got the chance to continue with their delusions like you have."

The manager rolled his eyes at the former. ‘Things have clearly worsened. I'll make you pay for everything you've said if you don't show me proof of your ownership of the airline company's shares!"

That was when a sharp and loud voice yelled from afar, “That’s enough! Shut your damned mouth! At this point, we should break off our affair!"

All color drained from the manager's face upon hearing that.

Every fiber of his being trembled as he turned toward the approaching person.

It was an attractive woman who donned a bodycon dress and held a bag worth several thousand dollars.

Darius also stared at the woman but soon tore his gaze from her. That was because he felt no need to express anything now that things had developed this far.

However, the incoming woman did not share the same sentiment.

She ignored the manager, who tried to appease her. Instead, she walked toward Darius without slowing down.

The manager's jaw fell open as he could not believe what was happening before his eyes.

When he wanted to voice his confusion, the woman spoke. "I heard about what happened from your bodyguard, Mr. Reid. I'm terribly sorry. There isn't much I can do for you as my wealth falls short compared to yours. That's why I'm granting you the chance to express your anger. I won't interfere, regardless of whether you wish to kill him or do anything to punish him. All I ask is that you don't release the wrath you feel toward him onto the company."

Her gaze pierced Darius, indicating she was confident her offer would succeed.

Darius looked at the manager before smirking. Turn around and look at this poor manager, who still thinks your relationship with him is based on genuine love. He will never change just because of my sudden presence.”

The woman sat in the chair opposite Darius just then, shooting him a frosty glare before quickly replacing it with a smile. "Rest assured. Regardless of whatever identity or relationship he has with me, you're free do whatever you please with him. Don't worry about what I think.”

The manager's eyes widened as he doubted the woman's seriousness. Nevertheless, his knees gave in, causing him to land on the ground with a loud thud.

Despite his refusal to accept the truth, he knew now that Darius possessed boundless wealth and was someone he could not afford to offend.

He then surprised everyone by cracking a grin. "I was sincere and put in so much effort toward you. Who would've thought that this is how you repay my love."

The manager stared at the woman. Regardless of whatever he said or did, his gaze was so intense that it revealed how he felt clearly. He wanted the woman to give him a reasonable explanation.

‘That's enough. I have many things to do. As for the profit this airline company has yielded me, it's nowhere near the earnings of my other ongoing business projects. So, if this company yields little profit and makes me unhappy, I won't hesitate to abandon it. I'll sell off my shares at a low price."

The woman paled drastically but knew she had no chance of opposing him.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
