The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 124


    Chapter 124 Darius looked at the gorgeousdy standing in front of him and quickly masked the


    surprised expression that flitted across his face. Nevertheless, albeit it was only for a few seconds,


    J Fox noticed his surprised reaction and felt pleased at that. That small instant was enough for her


    to know that Darius was surprised at her identity. It meant that Darius knew who she was.


    “Are you not going to offer me a seat, Darius?” J said yfully.


    Her words jolted Darius from his thoughts, and he offered her a seat, before taking his back.


    Darius looked at J expressionlessly, but his mind was going through turmoil at the moment. He had


    no idea why J Fox, the second ranked beauty in Kingston University approached him. Darius was


    incredibly poor some months ago, so even though he often heard the stories and gossips concerning


    the top ten campus beauties, he never had the opportunity to interact with them.


    It wasn’t until he discovered his true identity as the heir to the Reid consortium that he was able to


    come in close contact with them. Yet, with how busy Darius was, he didn’t care about the top ten


    campus beauties at all; or rather, he didn’t have the time to care about them. If it weren’t for his dislike


    for the way the Gillette father and son duo conducted business, he wouldn’t have helped Pearl


    Chambein at all.


    The father and son duo conducted business with utterly despicable means, and so many innocent


    people had fallen victims to their actions. There was no way Darius could let them continue to act as


    they pleased, hence the reason he stepped in.


    Thest time Darius was in close contact with J Fox was during the Charity g at this same hotel.


    Even at that, he didn’t talk to her, so it was safe to say that they had nothing to do with one another.


    This was why Darius was skeptical at J’s decision to approach him.


    Meanwhile, J stared at Darius with a yful but curious gaze in her attractive blue eyes. She had


    definitely heard of Darius Reid, as he was the infamous peasant of Kingston University. She had heard


    so many rumors of him, so much that they were impossible to count, including how he was unable to


    afford a meal.


    Of course, she simply shut out such news and focused on her studies. She hated to engage in idle


    gossips that were not beneficial to her in anyway. However, she was unable to block out the news of


    Sarah Ginn’s break up with Darius for David


    Lesley, a well known wealthy student in the University. This was a matter that spread throughout the


    majority of Kingston University, so it was normal for someone of her status to have heard of it.


    As usual, she simply ignored such news again, but just a few weekster, Darius waspletely


    different from how she remembered him from the gossips. He was now driving a very luxurious sports


    car, and was able to spend over $4.1 million in the charity g. He even outbid the third ranked beauty


    in Kingston University, Pearl Chambein, in the auction held in the charity g!


    This was the beginning of her interest in Darius Reid. He was the perfect example of from rags to


    riches. The well known peasant in the university was now extremely wealthy. There was no one who


    wouldn’t be curious. Surprisingly, after the charity g, Darius became extremely low-key again.


    Therefore, J barely received news about him again.


    After the semester’s exams were concluded, J flew out of the city to take a vacation. She had just


    returned recently in preparation for the new semester, and decided to have a meal at the Sky Golden


    Hotel, as it was the most luxurious hotel in the district. Yet, she had just finished her meal and was on


    her way out when she spotted a familiar figure sitting by the window. Having researched Darius before,


    she instantly recognized the familiar figure sitting by the window.


    Who would have thought that she would meet with Darius when she just came to have a meal? ted


    by the turn in events, she approached Darius. The conversation that ensued between them now led to


    this moment.


    Contrary to what Darius thought, J didn’t have any ulterior motive for approaching him. She was


    simply interested in him, and therefore approached him to satiate her curiosity.


    The two of them remained in silence for over a minute, and during their silence, a waiter came to clear


    the table since Darius was done having his meal. When the waiter was faced with J’s gorgeous


    appearance, shock and lust overcame his mind, and he felt the need to possess her. Yet, he dared not


    act on his impulses.


    Anyone who could dine at the Sky Golden Hotel was certainly someone with a status way higher than


    him. He dared not cause any trouble, or he would be losing more than his job as a waiter. Besides, the


    young man seated across the gorgeousdy was extremely handsome himself. While he didn’t know


    the rtionship the two shared, he knew it was not in his ce for him to cause any trouble, so he


    carried out his duties and left quietly. After the waiter’s departure, J took the initiative to speak and


    finally broke the silence that the two of them maintained. Since J took the initiative to break the


    silence, Darius didn’t want to turn her down outrightly. Hence, he


    continued the conversation with her.


    The two of them engaged in conversations about light topics, and J found her interest in Darius


    increasing with each sentence Darius spoke. Most of the men she had conversed with were barely


    productive, as the majority of their thoughts were filled with lustful desires, making her lose interest in


    the conversation altogether


    Darius, on the other hand, was nothing like them. He spoke freely with her, with no lustful intentions or


    ideas in his responses. J didn’t know whether to be happy or angered at such a development. She


    was used to seeing men make a fool out of themselves when they saw her beauty. In as much as she


    refused to ept it, the fact that Darius was unaffected by her beauty was a significant blow to her


    ego.


    The conversation went on for more than thirty minutes before Darius called for it to end. During the


    course of the duration, Darius was able to know more about J Fox, and he slightly rxed his


    stance towards her. Even though they were not exactly friends yet, there was no harm in making her


    his acquaintance.


    “Although I met you by chance today, it is a pleasurable meeting.” J said with a smile as she stood


    up from her seat.


    “The pleasure is mine, Miss J.” Darius replied just as politely.

    “Please. There’s no need for the pleasantries. Just call me J.” J said; the smile still on her


    face.


    “Alright J.” Darius obeyed. He was already worn-out after the day’s activities, and wanted nothing


    more than to book a room to rest.


    J noticed his fatigued look and smiled knowingly. As her eyes were trained on Darius as they


    walked, she didn’t notice a young man walking towards their direction with a dark expression on his


    face. By the time J trained her eyes back on the road, she was already in close proximity with the


    man, and they bumped into each other.


    J had an apologetic expression on her face and was about to speak when the young man’s words


    forced the words on the edge of her tongue down her throat.


    “Damn it! You idiot!” Will you keep an eye on where you’re going?!” the young man cursed loudly in


    anger.


    The expression of apology that had been on J’s face instantly disappeared, and a cold expression


    appeared on her face.
