The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 167

Jeremiah wanted to die at that moment. He knew Darius intended to make him pay until all his wealth was gone. Hopelessness clouded his eyes as he looked at Darius. “Must you be so cruel? You caused trouble for this hotel! Even if Dream Investment Group doesn’t take action against you, they’ll make your life a living hell.”

“I’ve already heard similar threats like this multiple times today. Yet, no one has made good on their words so far,” replied a sighing Darius with his hands in his pocket.

Jeremiah’s face darkened.

He knew Darius’ mind had been made, so there was no turning back. Thus, he got off the ground, glowered at Darius, and spoke through gritted teeth. “I’ll end my life if I lose all my wealth. Should that happen, I’ll make sure everyone knows you forced me to my death! That will spark endless public hatred toward you!” With every word, he grew complacent, his eyes lighting up with anticipation. He wanted to see the fear and regret on Darius’ face as the latter begged for forgiveness. Alas, that did not happen. Darius remained emotionless, except for his frosty eyes that bore into Jeremiah.

That was the first time Jeremiah felt so frightened. It was as though his words earlier caused him to now balance on a thin thread between life and death. He regretted everything. However, it was far too late.

Darius kept his usual posture but parted his lips to declare, “That makes perfect sense, and because I’m someone who loves helping others, I’ll grant that death wish of yours.”

He then turned to leave while adding, “Perhaps the matter might get resolved quicker than I thought.”
