The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 122 (West Atlantics Int'l, Capital City) Darius' eyes shone when he heard Hector’s answer. The Gold Group! Darius had never expected that the person who was behind everything was the head of the Gold Group.

the Reid consortium's influence. As Darius' eyebrows were furrowed together as he was in deep thoughts, Erin watched him intently. There was a hint of admiration, respect and awe as she looked at him. When Darius received the text message the previous night, he immediately called the Director of BNC news station, the news station that reported the false news about him. When the Director discovered the identity of the caller, he was overcome with fear and shock. To be honest, BNC news would have not gone against West Atlantics Int'l, especially with such a measly attempt if it were not for the influence the Gold Group had in Capital City. They were just a news station. How could they hope to go against an influential conglomerate group like the Gold Group?

The rest of the events were smooth sailing and happened just as Darius expected, which led up to the current turn of events. If Erin wasn't here, she wouldn't believe that such an elaborate plan happened in the conference room. In just a single night, Darius completely cornered the president of Sterling Corporations, and discovered the identity of the business group targeting him. Her respect for Darius shot up exponentially after this episode. Of course, Darius did not think that he did something so grand and impressive. The main reason his plans went according to plan was because Sterling Corporations was already on its last legs. All he did was trigger a series of events that would have "happened sooner or later without the Gold Group's
