The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 52

Alice flinched when she heard Darius‘ question. She turned back slowly while holding her breath.

Darius sat still on his chair still maintaining his calm expression. However his demeanor was completely different from before. It was as if he changed from a friendly dog to a Lion as he calmly sat on his chair watching her.

Alice gulped slowly before speaking up. “Don‘t worry Darius. I know Michael. We are just going to have a talk and catch up with the past. You don‘t need to bother about it.” Alice explained.

“You still haven‘t answered my question Alice.” Darius replied calmly.

Alice sighed. She knew that Darius wasn‘t the person he was anymore, as he was incredibly wealthy, but they were dealing with Michael Finn here, the sole heir of the Finn conglomerate!

When she was in a relationship with Michael back in high school, no one had agreed to help her when she mentioned the situation she was in to them. That only showed her how powerful the Finn conglomerate was. Although Darius was rich, she felt that his wealth was not enough to go against Michael. She believed that he was only standing up for her because he had no idea how terrifying Michael was.

Alice was about to speak again, but Michael beat her to it.

“Forget it. I‘m not wasting my time here. Come here!” Michael said. As he spoke, he grabbed Alice‘s arm roughly and dragged her with him with the intention of leaving the restaurant.

She had planned to draw Michael‘s attention away from Darius as she didn‘t want to involve Darius in her relationship struggles and expose him to Michael‘s wrath, but Darius‘ answer had just ruined that possibility. “I mean what I said.” Darius said, answering in place of Alice. Michael was even more irritated when Darius answered for Alice. “I see you have a death wish.” Michael
