The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 194

Darius raised his arm, pulled back his sleeve to look at his watch, then placed his hands on the table.

"You'll have loads of free time in the future, Dean Fletcher, while I'll be busier. If you want an easier time at the detention center, I suggest you stand and speed this whole process up.”

Leon’s eyes narrowed the slits at Darius. "You're too arrogant, Darius Reid! Sooner or later, you'll pay for it!"

Darius did not respond to that. His expression remained blank as he put his hands in his pockets, turned toward the official, and said, "I think we should go now.”

"I agree," replied the official in a neutral tone.

Subsequently, Darius exited the space with the group of officials in tow.

Pearl never imagined she would witness such a scene. Her jaw dropped, and she did not know how to respond.

Darius’ lips curved before he shook his head. "No, that's not an appropriate place for a girl like you. Besides, I can handle these things alone. It won't take too long, nor will I endanger myself."

That was not the outcome Pearl hoped for, but she knew she had no Say in the matter. All she could do was stand at the door of the dean's office and watch him leave.
