The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 199

By the time Darius located Erin, the woman had vanished. All that remained was the faint smell of blood in the air

Erin did not feel he had to hide anything from Darius.

"I broke her wrist and got her to admit why she did all that." While saying that, She looked at Darius, waiting for his response. Darius signed.

Erin reached out to look at his watch. "If we had found out about this 30 minutes later than we did now, we'd already be on the plane, facing a grave threat."

Darius and the two bodyguards shared confused looks before they asked,” What exactly happened?"

Neither of the three could imagine the severity of what was happening.

After pondering for a while, she decided to reveal the truth. "At first, I didn't think things were that serious, so I planned to give anyone involved with the earlier incident a warning. You know-give them a taste of pain.

However, along the way, I caught a whiff of a peculiar odor that only belonged to aircraft paint. Those guys were here as flight passengers, which meant they shouldn't have touched the plane. So, I got suspicious.”

The three's jaws hung wide open upon hearing that.

They never imagined Erin could detect something was wrong from such a slight detail. Utter respect and admiration oozed from the way they looked at Erin.
