The Consortium's Heir Chapter 261

The hostess’ eyes reddened.

On the other hand, Darius narrowed his eyes.He felt the latter was quick-witted, or she would not have
come up with such an excuse on the spot.His expression did not improve because of that.

Instead, his nose scrunched up as he kept his hands in his pockets.

"You aren't actually working hard, though.If you were, you would've investigated all the guests’
backgrounds beforehand and targeted other people.Consider this—you arrived in appropriate clothing
and successfully impersonated a hostess.Since you’ve researched so much about hostesses, it’s
unlikely for you not to look up information on the attendees tonight.Thus, I can go as far as to say
you’re causing me trouble now because you found out the Gillettes and I are on bad terms.That’s what
led you to act the way you did toward me."

Darius had keen eyesight; it was as though he could read every thought in the hostess’ mind.

That was when Erin, who stood aside, nodded sternly.

"Indeed, Mr.Reid.This lady’s name is Cerys Gillette, and she’s hired many private investigators to look
into the backgrounds of everyone attending tonight’s banquet.She found out about us ten minutes
before we received the Gillette family’s invite, which means she knows everyone here like the back of
her hand."

"So," Darius said while jutting his chin and sneering at Cerys, "You're well aware that you and I are the
same—I didn’t grow up in the Reid family either.On the contrary, I have had a difficult life since I was
young.Yet, you said I had a blessed life because you knew no one here had ever heard of me.You were
sure they weren't rich enough to run in the same circles as me or even know about my living



environment during childhood.Therefore, everything you said earlier was to garner others’ pity for your
own benefit."

Every word that came out of his mouth sounded crystal clear.

At that point, everyone in the yard had taken out their phones to search for Darius’ profile.

Darius stayed in the same spot, his hands still resting in his pockets as he shrugged.His usual stoic
countenance took over.

"I'd be utterly terrified now if I were you because you've depleted my patience.I’m sure your
investigators have plenty of information on how I treat people who cross me.Likewise, I believe you’ve
mentally and physically prepared yourself for what’s to come."

Cerys’ face paled just then.

Fear lodged at the back of her throat, obstructing her so much that she could not even let out a
squeak.She was deathly afraid of the information she found on what happened to those who had upset
Darius.

Among those that suffered from his wrath was Cerys’ half- brother, Hank Gillette.

With that in mind, she stiffened, all words failing her.

Meanwhile, Darius’ gaze swept past everyone at the scene.

Silence ensued for what felt like forever.

Cerys knew it was unwise to let things go on like that.

She inhaled deeply, feeling she needed to decide on a reaction at once.



Otherwise, Cerys would end up miserably, which was an undesirable outcome for her.

Ultimately, she decided to convince the guests she was telling the truth while painting Darius as the liar.

She opened her mouth, uttering each word quickly, "I’m shocked by your claims! If you’re genuinely
from the Reid family, you'd be driving a modified Bugatti instead of this unmodified one.Your current car
isn’t consistent with the image everyone associates with Darius Reid!"

Darius still had yet to remove his hands from his pockets.He stood in place and silently scrutinized
Cerys, wondering how much more shameless she could get.

A victorious grin crept up Cerys’ face when the former did not respond.

She mused, "Oh? I didn’t think Darius would stay silent when facing my false accusations.Perhaps his
silence is from his guilty conscience—maybe he really is a fraud!"

Feeling that was true, she raised her chin arrogantly at Darius as she informed everyone, "Moreover,
he wouldn’t be driving without a license plate if he were really from the Reid family! That family is
renowned for having strict morals, so none of the Reids would ever violate the law.So what if he could
only purchase a brand-new car last minute? He should have plenty of wealth and resources to buy a
local license plate and drive legally on our city’s streets!"

Cerys shot a haughty smirk at Darius.

Confidence oozed from her very being as she jutted her chin even more.

That took Darius aback.He had never encountered anyone who could tell a lie like it was the truth, as
though they wholeheartedly believed it.He kept his hands in his pockets but curled his lips at her.



"What you just said is very contradictory.If the Reids are above breaking the law, then they wouldn’t
take advantage of their wealth to demand a license plate from the authorities on the spot.They would
go through the entire registration process."

Erin stood behind Darius.

Since there were many people around them, she refrained from revealing her emotions, but guilt
flooded her chest.She mentally yelled at herself, "It’s my fault.Mr.Reid turned down my plan when we
left the hotel, but I was so arrogant, thinking nothing could stand in the way of the Reid family’s
wealth.Still, I never imagined my actions would give others leverage against Darius!"

She wanted to defend Darius, but all words had failed her at that moment.

No matter what she tried to say, everything sounded wrong in her mind; it was not her place to speak
up.

However, she could not hold her tongue at the next second when Cerys uttered something
unacceptable.
