The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 307

Austin’s brows crinkled closer.His head shot upward as his eyes pierced through Kate, hoping to catch her off guard and see what she thought.

Everything went as he predicted, but sadly, he did not see what he wanted in her eyes; there was a whirlwind of fear, anger, dissatisfaction, hurt, and many more emotions.

The one feeling absent in her gaze was a raging desire for him to die.

Before looking at her, he assumed she only felt hatred at that instant.

If he had to dig deeper, he would have guessed there was a Sadistic joy in her eyes, eager to see him die.

Yet, reality turned out different from what he had expected.

Every part of his body tensed while a frosty aura radiated from him.

It contrasted with Kate’s warm and inviting presence, something he refused to welcome with open arms.

Kate lowered her head, simultaneously shivering as though the air was cold.

It took her a while to discern what the boy’s pointed stare meant; eventually, she realized he was angry.

Still, she assumed his reaction was merely a fearful response toward his inevitable death for crossing Darius.

Pursing her lips, Kate pondered her next move for some time, then turned to face Darius with a set of doe eyes.

Her voice sounded small as she pleaded, "Darius, I know you’re a good person.Austin may have made many mistakes, but he’s just a boy who didn’t have a role model or anyone to guide him on the right path while growing up! But now, I’m willing to fill in that role for him.Please, can you give him a chance to live for my sake?"

Warm tears filled up her eyes with every growing moment.
