Chapter 233
The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr
The Consortiumâs Heir Chapter 233 No matter how much he refused to admit it, he knew she was telling the truth.
However, he smirked and said, âEven if youâre telling the truth, it doesnât bother me.I couldnât care less.You may not know this, but your father canât harm me in any way.Perhaps itâs because youâre too naive, but you should know that saving the world isnât something we care about.â
He raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Erin.He saw that she already had some results from her investigation, so he flicked his wrist and and let Samantha go.
She glared at him, her eyes filled with hatred.
However, it didnât bother him He walked over to Erin and leaned against the table, his eyes focusing on the monitor.
âHow is it? Do you have anything?â
Erin smiled and nodded.
âYes, sir.â
She turned the laptop to him and said, âThe truth is shocking.I decided to delve into this from a different perspective and used whatever information we had to search for Samanthaâs father, Michael Williams.
Indeed, heâs a wealthy man and even wealthier than we thought.
I also found that all his wealth comes from the same source, which is a rare mine.
The ore in the mine is indispensable when it comes to manufacturing engines and certain chips, and itâs irreplaceable.
In our country, the production of these items is slowly being monopolized, so this mine is important to the Gillette family.
The ore isnât exactly cheap, either.
In their backdoor pre-nuptial agreement, it was stipulated that Samantha Williams would bring along 20 percent of the mineâs ownership with her, which would help to lessen the Gillette familyâs costs in purchasing the ore.â
This wasnât what Darius expected.
He looked at Samantha with narrowed eyes and said, âNow, thatâs something I didnât expect.Your fatherâs not only great at amassing wealth but also at keeping secrets.When I think about such a well-kept secret being exposed because of you...â
He scoffed.
Samanthaâs face became ashen.She was fearful because she couldnât refute him.
Her father had always kept the fact that they owned amine secret, but it was now out in the open because of her.
Suddenly, she didnât know what to do to make things better.
On the other hand, Darius was truly surprised.He didnât expect there to be anyone who could hide this from the Reid family.He closed his eyes and exhaled, wondering whether anyone else knew about this.
And if they did, what sort of role did they play in this? As he pondered this, the Gillette familyâs cars finally arrived.
Shelvin had been leaning against the wall, straightening up when he heard the cars.
He looked at Darius vigilantly and asked, âMr.Reid, what should we do now? The Gillette familyâs here, and it looks like they brought help.I donât think we can handle them.â
Darius smiled faintly at his words and nodded.
âYouâre right about there being many of them, but theyâre weaker than you think.â
He yawned and continued, âI suppose itâs good that theyâre here.We can deal with this as soon as possible so that I can get some sleep.â
This was what Wilson Gillette heard when he walked into the hotel.
It infuriated him, and he strode toward Darius.
âHey, brat.Youâd better tell me whatever I want to know.â
Darius shrugged, not saying anything in response.
This only made Wilson angrier, and he exhaled as his hands balled into fists.
When he thought about the questions he wanted to ask, he tried to make himself sound amicable.
âDarius Reid, I know that youâre a smart guy.Just tell me thisâ whereâs my son? If you tell me what you know, I can pretend that none of this happened.â
Darius took in his serious expression and smiled.
âI have the power here, donât I? After all, I believe Iâm the only person who knows the answer to that.â
He lifted his chin.
âIf you lay a finger on me, I guarantee youâll never know where he is.â
Wilson didnât want to accede to Darius, but he knew this was his only choice.
He took a deep breath and sized Darius up before finally forcing out through gritted teeth, âDarius, youâd better remember what youâre saying right now.If anything happens to my son, youâre the first person whose blood Iâll be out for.â
Heâd done this so many times today that he was already sick of it.
However, he still nodded.
âSure.I mean, I can just take you for a ride, but itâs unnecessary.â
He watched as Wilson slowly raised a hand, then decided not to waste time on these people anymore.He said bluntly, âHankâs dead.Iâm sure you already know this; you just refuse to accept it.â
As he spoke, he quickly backed away and avoided Wilsonâs grip.
No one expected Darius to just blurt the truth out like this, and silence descended upon them.
The only sound that could be heard was Wilsonâs labored breathing, and they saw his eyes turn red.
Though heâd already found out about this long ago, he had yet to accept it.
