The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 197

Darius halted upon hearing those words. He asked, "How long before our flight's boarding time?"

Erin glanced at her watch before her features slightly softened. "We still have three hours to get our boarding passes."

"It looks like we have plenty of time to resolve this issue," replied a sighing Darius. He no longer tried to intervene at that point.

Instead, Darius found a quiet corner at the airport with a clear view of the commotion. There, he sat down and got himself a cup of coffee.

Erin sat beside him with a perplexed expression. "Mr. Reid, why aren’t we going over to help them?"

Amused laughter bubbled from Darius just then. "I believe this is something they, as bodyguards, should know to resolve."

Not understanding Darius’ intention, Erin kept quiet. She remained beside him and watched as he drank his coffee.

Meanwhile, the commotion downstairs intensified.

The middle-aged woman grew more agitated, baring her teeth. "Edward, my daughter has never done anything behind your back! Why would you choose to be with this woman? Not only is she shorter than my daughter, but she’s uglier too! She's not even half as rich as my daughter."

She paused for a breath before resuming, “Also, I hope you know my husband is a professor at a university. He’s from the Brown family. I'm sure you know that family is renowned for producing many famous professors. Thus, my family isn't just wealthy-we're intelligent too! Not to mention that our wealth has been accumulated over many generations! If you date my daughter, you won't have to do your lowly job anymore. We'll provide for you on the condition that you and your child take the Brown family name. All of this is highly beneficial to you. You're young and full of pride, so you might not like my offer. But I insist that you accept it. Otherwise, I guarantee you'll regret saying no in the near future."
