The Consortium's Heir Chapter 255

You're saying I'm not wealthy?

Do you see this shirt I’m wearing?

It’s by a small designer from Ioblia, worth 3 million dollars.

I’m 28 this year, and it’s the first time I’ve been called poor.

Honestly, your accusation is hilarious.

Everyone in Almiron City knows me because I’m a member of the Gillette family!"

While speaking, the man cockily jutted his chin at Erin.He could already picture Erin groveling at his
feet for forgiveness.

Should that happen, he was more than ready to claim her as one of his women.

Yet, that did not happen, much to his dismay.

Erin merely stood there with her eyes wide.

"The Gillette family?" she said before letting out a frosty chuckle.

"Oh, I know all about that family—they’re filthy rich."

A smirk curled on the man’s face.

However, it quickly vanished as Erin placed her hands on her hips.She thundered, "I’ve heard plenty
about that family, like how they used improper means to acquire massive wealth.Likewise, I know
they’ve continued to utilize unscrupulous methods to avoid legal sanctions! Sadly for you, this is why



I’ve come to Almiron City! Your actions show me that all those rumors are true, meaning I don’t have to
hold back when dealing with you later on!"

The man’s breathing quickened after hearing that.

Utterly enraged, he pointed at her, yelling, "I’m Thomas Gillette, the first heir in line among everyone in
the Gillette family! That means I own many of my family’s business shares!"

Erin did not expect that.She did not see any information about this man during her investigation of the
Gillettes.

Thus, Erin assumed the man was just a minor figure that happened to work for the family or some
laughable person who thought he was crucial to them.She never took him seriously up until now.

Stiffening like a statue, her hands gradually retracted from her hips and lowered to her sides.Her heart
dropped with worry now that she had revealed her and Darius’ motives for being in Almiron City.She
cranked her tense body, turning to look at Darius.

Although Darius could tell she was asking for help, he felt he didn’t have to step in at that moment.

Yet, it was clear that his secretary and the deputy general manager of his company, Erin, could not
resolve the issue.He strolled forward, casually placing his hand on his car’s hood, and was very
relaxed despite the tension.

"You guys got carried away with your chat earlier.Now, I’d like to know this—you said we parked here
and somehow crashed into your car that drove over from behind us.Did I get it right?"

Thomas held his breath, realizing he could not discern what Darius was feeling.

It was his first time struggling to detect others’ emotions, so he instinctively straightened his back in a
defensive position.



Darius kept both hands in his pockets, his eyes calmly gazing at the former.His voice was stoic like
always as he pointed out, "Oh? You’re not speaking.Then, I’ll take your silence as agreement to what I
just said.Shall I continue?"

Thomas instinctively nodded upon facing a calm Darius’, but his features twisted into a frown
immediately after, as he never intended to nod.

Regardless, Darius did not give him time to ponder his actions.

"I’m shocked if what you claimed about your background is true," remarked Darius, whose eyes locked
onto Thomas.

"Because I don't think you can handle managing the Gillette family’s businesses now with your poor
eyesight and lack of logic." Thomas’ features warped hideously just then.

He had heard such demeaning words several times since he took over his family’s company.

Even so, he did not think those opinions were accurate.

Unfortunately, he could not bring himself to argue against Darius’ words.

Something about the latter’s collected look made him unable to speak in that instant.

He just stood there, gawking like a fool.

Meanwhile, Darius saw right through Thomas.

It was understandable as he encountered many like the latter back when he was poor; those people
owned average amounts of money but behaved recklessly like they were the wealthiest individuals
alive.



Thinking of that, Darius sighed and resumed, "Perhaps what you're saying is true, but know that it’ll
only bring you more humiliation because even if you genuinely are a rich person, your wealth can never
compare to mine.

The only reason you’re causing trouble for me today is that my car is new and doesn’t have a license
plate —you think I'm financially unable to afford a license plate at the moment.

Hence, you probably assumed I was wealthy but did not have much influence."

"Then again," he continued while leaning against his car, "To your understanding of the elite social
circles, those with wealth would also have authority.So, you concluded I was someone who'd just
acquired my wealth and didn’t have time to build my authoritative presence.That made me the perfect
target for you—you plan to threaten me with your ‘superior’ influence and get me to pay a massive sum
for your damages.Your car never would've crashed into mine otherwise.This accident only happened
because you came up with this plan while driving behind me."

While Darius’ tone was calm, his every word spoke the truth and carried a lethal bite.

It made Thomas’ face darken as he drilled his gaze into Darius.

He snarled frostily, "How did you know? I never told anyone about it, yet you figured it out.I can’t accept
this."

As he spoke, he reached for the gun behind his waist, knowing it could easily and speedily clean up the
situation.

His actions were not subtle, so Erin saw noticed.Her blood rushed with trepidation.

So, without much thought, she ran in front of Darius to shield him.

That caused Darius’ brows to knit.



He reached out and grabbed Erin's collar before tossing her aside in no time.

Unable to resist Darius’ strength, Erin got thrown a distance away.A loud gunshot tore through the air
just as she made contact with the ground.

It was then that a piercing scream came from her lips.
