The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Chapter 172

Chapter 172

This was beyond Darius‘ expectations. He widened his eyes in surprise and was curious to know how Doris dealt with that.

He glanced at her, but she didn’t look too happy. She didn’t want him to know how vicious she could be, but she could not shut Erin up. So, she bowed her head to hide her face from Darius.

Erin saw this, but it didn’t matter. She wouldn’t do what Doris wanted, anyway. She said,

“She had a small blade to protect herself, so she whipped it out and stabbed the man in the groin before running away.”

Darius‘ lip twitched. He was about to say something to mock Doris, but Erin didn’t give him a chance to. While trying to conceal her laughter, she said, “Sir, if I were you, I wouldn’t be too happy. What I’m going to tell you next about what she used to do will surprise you and make you mad.”

This was his first time seeing Erin like this, and he was very curious to know what she was going to say.

Erin said, “Every person Miss Gray stole from was affluent but had done plenty of illegal or unethical things. They used their wealth to escape from the consequences they should’ve borne. Then, she would steal from them and give their money to the poor.”

Darius frowned. He now understood why Erin had laughed. He turned to Doris and said,

“It seems you think I’m one of them.”

Doris‘ eyes turned icy at his words. If one were to look closely, one would also see a trace of regret in them. How could she have forgotten about something so important? Darius was someone who could

do anything for money. At first, he insisted he was dating the prettiest girl in school. Then, he harassed another girl in the cafeteria.

However, nothing happened to him because he was rich. He’d even made a rival go bankrupt for having the nerve to be interested in the same woman as him!

He was so unethical that she couldn’t stand it. She had to teach him a lesson!

She chose to ignore the way she felt earlier. After all, she knew very well that she’d trained hard over the years to make all these bad people get what they deserved.

Darius could sense the frostiness in her gaze. He was no longer smiling as he said,

“Who told you about my personal matters? Why did you leave Medicia?”

An ugly look crept onto Doris‘ face again. She didn’t expect him to know so much about her. This meant that she’d been on his radar for a long time. Or his wealth and influence were powerful enough to allow him to find out so much about her in such a short time.

There were many answers to this question, but neither was what she wanted to hear.

She knew that if she couldn’t do anything to him today, she would have to pay the price. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

With this thought in mind, she no longer felt afraid. She glared at Darius and said, “I already looked into your past before coming here, and I think you’re rich but unethical. You used your wealth to bankrupt a rival and even forced someone to be your girlfriend. When that failed, you ruined her proposal.”

Darius became furious when he heard this. He looked down at her. This woman had broken into his office and scolded him for things that weren’t even true. He was especially mad because it had something to do with Sarah.

He couldn’t resist wrapping a hand around her neck. It was slender, and his fingers easily circled it.

This wasn’t something Doris had expected. Her eyes widened, and she screeched, “How dare you! You will regret about this!”

Darius smiled, though hard to be noticed. “You’re absolutely wrong.”

Erin could sense his anger but she didn’t know what to do. She hesitantly took a step forward and placed a hand on his arm, trying to sound as gentle and harmless as possible. “Mr. Reid, she’s just a young woman who’s been tricked. There’s probably a better way to handle this. Would you like to give it some thought?”

Her voice calmed him down a little. He took deep breaths, then let Doris go and put his hands behind his back.

Doris gasped and tried to catch her breath. She’d never felt this glad to be able to breathe.

He didn’t say anything, merely watching her emotionlessly.

After catching her breath, she ran over to Erin and hid behind her, keeping a hand on her arm. She shouted at Darius, “This just proves how evil you are! You were going to kill me because you were angry!”

After a few moments of silence, Darius said, “You shouldn’t have mentioned Sarah. She betrayed me in front of everyone, and I was the last to know she’d cheated on me. I don’t need to explain to you, but I’m willing to let you off the hook this time because you’re stealing from others for a good reason. However, you should also know that I’m not always this kind, and if there’s a repeat of this incident, I can’t guarantee the result will be the same.”

Doris didn’t want to respond. She didn’t believe him because she’d never been wrong in her investigations, but he looked exceptionally serious–as if he was telling the truth. She didn’t know what the right thing was to do.

As she pondered the matter, Erin said, “I think you can check out the live stream replay from back then. You can watch it on your phone right now.”

Doris met her gaze, then nodded. “You’re right. I know what to do now.”
