The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 97


    Darius had just finished meeting with the top executives of Century Enterprises, a toppany in Eden


    city which was under the Reid consortium when his phone rang 4


    He checked the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number However, he decided to answer the


    phone call


    “Hello.” Darius said as he answered the call.


    There was a brief moment of silence before the caller spoke up.


    “Hello Is this Darius Reid?” the caller asked.


    Darius was taken aback when he heard the caller’s voice


    The caller was definitely ady


    This situation piqued Darius interest. He could feel like he had heard the caller’s voice before, but


    couldn’t ce where it was


    “Yes, I am Darius Reid.” Darius answered


    There was another brief moment of silence When the caller didn’t speak up for a few seconds, Darius


    couldn’t help but break the ufortable silence


    “Who is this and how I may help you?” Darius asked. There was a tinge of slight impatience in his voice


    as he asked,


    Albeit he was curious about the caller’s identity, he was too busy to care too much about it There were


    still other enterprises and businesspanies he had to visit He simply didn’t have the time to spare


    on this unexpected phone call


    “Please pardon me. I am Pearl Chambein.” Pearl spoke up after hearing Darius’ impatient tone


    ‘Pearl Chambein? Darius thought inwardly No wonder the voice sounded so familiar It turned out that


    the caller was none other than the third ranked beauty in Kingston University


    Yet, there was a confused expression on his face.


    “Why is she calling me? Darius asked himself


    He was genuinely confused at that moment. He made sure that Zack was the one who called the


    Chambeins and handled the matter between them and the Gillette Group


    The reason he did so was because he didn’t want the attention that came with him handling the issue


    personally. It was better if Zack handled the matter That way, he would have time to focus on other


    matters


    Besides, he and Pearl were not on the best of terms now. He expected her to be furious after the turn


    of events at the charity g. So, why was she calling him now?


    While he was still contemting the reason for Pearl’s call, Pearl spoke up.


    “Be honest with me Are you the founder and chairman of West Antics Int’l? Pearl asked


    straightforwardly.

    Her heart was beating rapidly at this moment. This was a very crucial question for her She was both


    anxious and nervous to hear Darius’ answer


    Darius was very surprised at Pearl’s question.


    It was incredibly shocking and came out of the blue This wasn’t what he was expecting at all


    He was also curious as to how she suddenly linked his identity with the chairman of West Antics Int’l


    He made sure to remove most of his information from the inte, therefore it was incredibly difficult to


    link him to the chairman of West Antics Int’l


    “Please don’t lie to me Be truthful Pearl requested softly


    Darius let out a helpless sigh at that


    “Yes. I am the chairman of West Antics Int’l “Darius answered truthfully


    He had no qualms about being found out by Pearl After all, it was a widely known around the university


    that he was no longer a pauper There were even some rumors about him being from a super rich


    family. and that he had been hiding his identity all along Therefore, even if they discovered that he had


    apany. It wouldn’t be too shocking


    Pearl was reeling with shock at this discovery


    Even though she expected him to be the chairman of West Antics Int’l all along, it still came as a


    shock to her


    If Darius was the chairman of West Antics Int’l, this meant that he was able to spend $100 million so


    casually


    It was simply ludicrous!


    How old was he?


    He should be slightly older than her, which meant he was still in twenties!


    What kind of background did he have to spend that much money so easily?


    She blushed scarlet red in embarrassment when she remembered pping Darius a few weeks before


    Darius was clearly above her in terms of wealth and was clearly her family’s benefactor, yet she had


    pped him if Darius was a person who kept grudges, he would have chosen to ignore her when she


    needed help


    She let out a sigh of relief, as she had nearly chased away her benefactor with her harsh response that


    day At the same time, a weird feeling started formting in her heart


    Thank you very much for helping my family, and I’m sorry for my actions earlier.” Pearl apologized


    sincerely


    “It’s nothing I helped your family because they deserved my help Besides, the Gillette Group needs to


    be held ountable for their actions.” Darius said indifferently


    “No, it’s not enough to thank you over the phone Allow me to buy you a meal “Pearl suggested strongly


    Darius instantly turned down her offer. He had previously agreed to meet Helen for dinner; therefore he


    didn’t have the option of dining with Pearl


    Before Pearl could persuade him to ept her offer, he waived her off and hung up the phone


    Pearl stared at her phone, stunned, before smiling bitterly. She hadn’t expected Darius to tly refuse


    her offer to buy him dinner She had no idea what to make of it


    Nevertheless, no matter what happened, Darius was the one who saved her family. Since she couldn’t


    meet with him now, she would patiently until school resumed She would then be able to express


    her gratitude
