The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 245 While speaking, Darius directed his gaze at Borisin.

"He's a remarkable member of the authorities.Alas, because he comes from the Reid family, it was much easier for me to obtain his personal information than you or the other authorities."

Many expressions of shock, doubt, disbelief, and panic swirled in Miguel’s stormy eyes.

His chaotic emotions were notably different from Darius’ stoicism.

A lengthy sigh came from Darius.

"Seeing that he’s a Reid, I won’t pursue this matter anymore.Nevertheless, I want the authorities to know this—it’s impossible for you guys to pin the old woman’s death on me.After all, if I wanted to, I could easily kill someone."

With that, Darius knocked on the desk before him, ordering, "Bridget, you can send them off now."

Bridget appeared just then.Her gaze was as sharp as a dagger as it pierced through Miguel.She then motioned at the door.

"This way."

Miguel knew nothing would change even if he and Borisin remained here.

Not to mention, despite spending little time with Bridget and Darius, he knew the two would not let him leave if he did not go now; Miguel was sure that he and his two comrades outside the door could never win against Bridget and Darius.

Thus, he shot one last look at Darius before kneeling to carry Borisin on his shoulder.He then left out the door without so much as a second glance.

It was then that Darius let out a long exhale of relief.

Meanwhile, Bridget reappeared at the door, holding a red letter.

Darius noticed it through a sideways glance but soon shut his eyes again.

"What’s that in your hand?"

Only then did Bridget snap to her senses.She looked down at the letter before dashing over to place it on the desk before Darius.

"It’s an invite from the Gillette family for you to attend a banquet."
