The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 50

When Alice saw the owner of the car, she was momentarily stunned. Darius however paid her no heed and continued driving.

Alice couldn‘t believe her eyes. Even though he had changed his hairstyle and appearance and looked completely different from before, she could never forget him. Mr.ordinary1o, the person who spent 5 million dollars to gift her and owned such an expensive car was none other than Darius Reid, the ex–boyfriend of her close friend Sarah Ginn! “Judging from the way you are gaping at me it seems that you remember me.” Darius said, not taking his eyes off the road as he spoke. “Of course I do! How could I forget you?!” Alice exclaimed. Alice remembered vividly how Darius had chased Sarah with all of his strength. It was his relentless efforts that struck a deep impression on her. She knew that Darius loved Sarah with all his heart during that period, which was why she was very shocked that Sarah would leave Darius for David.

Whenever she looked at Darius when he was courting Sarah she mainly felt pity for him, but when she looked at him now only endless confidence and masculinity emanated from him. He was so much different from the Darius she knew before.

Everything that occurred during the stream finally made sense to her. Why someone she didn‘t know spent 5 million dollars on her, and at the same time chose her for the date. It made perfect sense if the person was Darius.

A sudden thought suddenly flashed through her mind. If Darius was wealthy enough to spend such ludicrous amounts of money easily, why was he then living as a peasant? He was even labeled as a peasant by the whole school. Just as she was about to ask Darius, another thought flashed through her mind. Darius must have wanted to keep his identity unknown and find a person who truly loved him because of him and not because of his money. It was a pity that Sarah left him for David. If she had been a bit patient, she would have enjoyed the rest of her with a caring man like Darius.

If Darius could see what was going through her mind, he would have thrown her out of his car.

He was pretending to be poor so that he could find true love? As if! He barely had enough to eat! He had to scrape and struggle for every penny he got, so how absurd was the idea that he would endure such torment and the ridicule he was subjected for love?

Alice felt a wave of security wash over her as Darius held her hands. She had never felt so safe before. Her whole outlook on Darius completely changed that moment. Her heart started beating rapidly as Darius held her hands, and her cheeks were
