The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 310

What Maurice heard next bewildered him, even though it was a detail from many years ago.

Felix straightened his back almost instantly.

He also adopted a strident tone as he explained, "Mr.Reid, he and his boss once came to propose a business collaboration with my company.It’s just that they got kicked out."

He did not elaborate on the latter half of the information as he believed clarifying the first half was enough for Darius to guess what came next.

Darius could tell Felix was a reasonable person, so he did not speak and merely turned to lean his back against the car seat before shutting his eyes.

Maurice had more to say but did not know where to begin because he was too shocked.

It took him a few moments to mull over his options.

Eventually, he remained silent but kept a cautious eye on Darius and Felix.

Maurice had figured Darius was insanely rich from the latter’s overall behavior.

However, he had sorely underestimated the extent of Darius’ wealth; in fact, he dared not even guess how wealthy the latter was.

On the other hand, Maurice had long lost contact with Felix, who had since become a household name as a famous actor and occasional singer.

Sometime later in life, Maurice learned from a television interview that his expenses for an entire year were equivalent to the price of a single one of Felix’s meals.

Maurice was initially unbothered by this, but it broke his mind to hear someone with a lavish lifestyle like Felix addressing Darius with the utmost formality.

Meanwhile, Felix took Darius’ passive reaction as a cue to stop speaking, or else he would interrupt the latter's rest.

Thus, Felix clamped his lips shut.

Seeing that indicated to Maurice that he should not keep quiet.
