The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 311

What shocked Maurice more was that he felt a surge of warmth in his veins when Edward forced his head to lower apologetically at Darius.

He rolled his eyes before ultimately giving in, adopting a sincere and formal tone as he declared aloud, "Don’t worry, Mr.Reid.I can attest to everything Mr.Elliot, who I’m making my mentor now, has said.Alongside what he promised, I swear this under God’s witness—I’m pledging loyalty to you now.If I ever harm you or your family, the Lord is free to condemn me with eternal punishment."

The 15-year-old boy’s promise rang out clearly and with great strength.

Darius gradually opened his eyes, turned his head, and shot a raised brow at Maurice.

It shocked him to receive such an intense promise because he had never thought about training Maurice Anderson or other strangers to become the Reid family’s bodyguard.

Thus, it took him aback to hear Maurice willingly wanting to become his bodyguard.

"Not to mention, this kid is swearing his future away to me while knowing he's the Anderson family’s only male heir," Darius thought.

His features softened ever so slightly as he massaged his temples.

Still, he kept a composed look while asking, "Are you aware of how your promise affects your future?"

Maurice nodded solemnly.

There was even a trace of excitement flickering in his eyes.
