The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 250

Chapter 250 Business Discussion

"You’ve hated me from the moment we met.Plus, I’ve done many mean things to you.I never even offered to help you."

Kate’s voice grew softer.

At that point, she dared not even look into his eyes.

Seeing how nervous she was, Darius smiled and calmly stated, "That's not true.You did help me—you just didn’t realize it, further proving you’re a good person at heart.Your actions weren’t that bad.Plus, you’ve already apologized and made up for it.You've done plenty to deserve forgiveness."

Never did Kate imagine she would receive such behavior from Darius.

Yet, she could not help but blush when she recalled the last time he showed kindness toward her.

Kate wanted things to go according to her wishes but dared not voice them out.Her breathing quickened as she stood and cast a firm look at Darius.

"It’s true.I really need your help, Darius Reid."

Darius nodded smilingly.

He was about to ask Kate for her opinion when some faint panting noises came from the door.

Their attention immediately snapped toward the ground near the door, where Bilgi wriggled. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Darius placed his hand back into his pockets before approaching Bilgi’s side.

He then lowered his head without bending over, leaving at least a six-foot height difference between them.

On the floor, Bilgi could only look up at Darius, his heart pounding with terror.

Contrarily, Darius did not pay the matter much mind but spoke calmly instead.

"I think you know who’s the wealthiest person here now."

That made Bilgi tremble so much that it seemed like even the ground was shaking.

Unable to deny Darius’ words, he wanted to flee but could not, as fear prevented him from moving his legs.

All he could do was rely on his arms to support his body.

His gaze locked onto Darius as he muttered, "I-I fully understand the mistakes I’ve made."

Both Bilgi’s trembling tone and clumsy movements seemed funny to Darius.

Even so, the latter did not laugh.He merely towered over Bilgi, staring downward with a blank look.

"I believe you've heard many things that you shouldn’t."

Grueling silence ensued after Darius said that.

The tension horrified Bilgi so much that he could not stop quivering.

Even his gaze felt shaky when he looked at Darius, causing the latter to appear as a blurry figure in his eyes.

However, that simultaneously snapped Bilgi back to his senses.His arms pressed into the ground, allowing him to stand on his feet and stare Darius down.

He had undergone several extreme mood swings in a short period, so Darius was no longer surprised if it happened again.

That was why Darius kept a stoic expression while staring at Bilgi.

On the other hand, it was the first time Bilgi saw Darius react that way.

It instantly diminished the former’s sudden burst of courage.

Still, he mustered whatever resolve he had left to threaten Darius.

He mimicked Darius’ actions, placing both hands in his pockets and glaring daggers at the latter.

"I've been more than polite to you and even put myself in a lowly state.However, you refused to forgive me, so I’ve decided not to play nice anymore."

Darius shrugged without saying anything.

Seeing how unbothered the former was, Bilgi let out a long exhale before emphasizing his following words, "To prove it, I’ve already sent a distress message to the Gillette family by putting my hand in my pocket.They'll send someone over soon to take me to tonight’s banquet! But you? Hah! You’ll never be able to attend the Gillette family’s banquet, even if you use up all your wealth to do so! This is why I can offend you despite not being rich like you!"

He assumed Darius would continue to insult him, or perhaps the latter would find some sense in his words.

Yet, much to his surprise, the room fell silent.

On top of that, Darius even yawned to indicate how bored he was.

Bilgi’s eyes widened again.

"You're gonna get in loads of trouble with that attitude!"

Not a word came from Darius, who merely raised his arm to look at his watch.

Rushed for time, he eventually pointed at the door and ordered, "You can leave now."

Bilgi did not do as told.

Instead, his lips curled upward at Darius.

"Are you afraid now? That's great, but it's too late for you to be afraid!"

Darius had not expected Bilgi to be this dim-witted.He rooted to the ground, eyes narrowing while silently waiting to see what other so-called threats the latter had to say.He felt this was the correct reaction after seeing what happened next.

Bilgi planted both hands on his waist, feeling more arrogant now that Darius was silent.

He even waved a finger at Darius while questioning, "Well, don’t you think what I just said sounds familiar?"

Darius extended his arm again, wanting to look at the time as he decided to give the former 30 seconds before he would react.

He mused, "It'll also give me some time to calm my rage.This way, I won't miss my target when I take action later."

Meanwhile, Bilgi thought he was in danger when he saw Darius reaching out.

He quickly knelt and wrapped his hands around his head, bracing for impact.

Everyone was still in a dazed state upon witnessing that.

Before they could react, Darius’ lips quirked upward in amusement, his arms returning to his sides.
