The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Chapter 183
Darius kept his eyes trained on Ward so he caught the resolution in his eyes. He didn''t say anything
else and merely looked into Ward''s eyes.
Ward was ufortable with the way Darius was watching him. His gaze was filled with helplessness
and disappointment.
However, he didn''t have a choice.
He figured that since Darius had already tracked down his family, he was probably already privy to
much information. So, he allowed himself to drop the mask of anger as he looked at Darius, revealing
his guilt and regret.
Darius didn''t know what was happening, but he could hear the officials’ custom-made leather shoes
tapping against the floor. He looked at Ward with a poker face and said, "Professor Plinsky, they''re
coming, and I''ll go with them."
Ward stared at his favorite student. As he watched Darius leave, he knew that this was the end of their
rtionship.
Darius could sense that Ward still had plenty to say to him. So, he walked slowly. He told himself to
give Ward onest chance-if Ward had yet to say anything by the time he stepped out of the
ssroom, he wouldn''t offer his help anymore.
Right before he walked out of the ssroom, Ward suddenly said, "Darius, I can sense your reluctance
to ept this, so I''ll tell you very clearly that there’s no way you''ll be implicated for something that you
haven''t done.”
When Darius heard this, he retracted his foot and turned to face Ward, who looked relieved. Darius
started to frown again, but he stopped when he saw Ward packing his books. Ward had never missed a
ss, but his actions were enough to show that he didn''t intend to conduct this one.
Darius looked wary, and he felt that Ward was probably going to do something that he couldn''t ept.
Then, Ward confirmed his suspicions." My student made a huge mistake and broke thew, so I can''t
possibly stay on as a lecturer here. I’m going to tender my resignation immediately as an apology.” He
looked at Darius as he said this, and Darius knew that he''d made this decision out of guilt.
However, there was no way Darius would agree to it. He was about to speak when a hoarse voice rang
out behind him. "Sir, it''s been a while. I never would''ve expected to see you here.”
Darius turned around to see the official that had taken him away thest time. He nodded and said, "I’m
the one that''s being used of giarism, and I''m willing to go with you, but I have one request-1 want
to bring Professor Ward Plinsky along with me. He''s the one who reported me.”
The official wanted to turn him down because this had never been done before, but when Darius
winked at him with a trace of pleading in his eyes, his mind raced. Then, he nodded. "I agree to your
request."
He turned, “Are you Professor Ward Plinsky?"
Ward had rxed at Darius’ choice, and he nodded. "Yes. Yes, I am. I''m willing to assist in the
investigation.”
When they were gone, the students started discussing what had just happened.
“Oh, my God. I never thought I''d be able to witness something like that. I feel like I''m dreaming.”
"I recorded it, and I''m going to upload it to all thergest social media tforms. It''ll definitely go viral!”
Everyone present had a different opinion of the incident.
On the other hand, the people seated in the car all had the same expression. Their eyes were wide
with shock.
"Why didn''t you try to contact me behind their backs, Professor? Did they have eyes on you at all
times?" Darius had already listened to Ward’s exnation and had difficulty imagining it.
The official felt like he was dreaming. "It''s hard to imagine that something like that happened at my
workce, and I waspletely oblivious.”
Ward bent over with his head in his hands, feeling tormented. "I''ve been locked up this whole time, and
they only gave me a few minutes this morning to make my decision. I had no other choice.”

Darius looked guilty. "I’m sorry, sir. I didn''t think that they''d kidnap your grandchild.”
Ward''s eyes were filled with pain. In fact, one couldn''t even see the whites of his eyes because they
were bloodshot. Darius met his eyes and found he couldn''t bring himself to say anything. The same
could be said for the official. Silence descended upon them.
After several minutes, Darius said, “You can find a way to get me out of there, right?”
The official looked fearful. “I can''t guarantee anything, and there''s no way you''ll be able to find the child
even if you were to get out of there."
After a short bout of fear, the official calmed down. He met Darius’ gaze with resolution. Darius gave it
onest shot. "I have my ways, but you don''t. You''re only in charge of this ce, but my wealth can
reach ces that you can''t. It can help me obtain plenty of information.”
Ward didn''t want Darius to do anything illegal or against the rules, and he was ready to give in for the
sake of Darius’ innocence.
However, he didn''t expect Darius to say he could use his wealth to solve the problem. He was agitated
as he looked at Darius.
“Are you really willing to spend your wealth for my grandchild’s sake? I know there are a lot of rich
people who are still poor."
There was a trace of helplessness on Darius’ face, but he still smiled. "Of course, Professor. I’m the
one they were targeting in the first ce.”
The official had already regained hisposure. He looked at Darius apologetically and said, "Even
though I believe you, I still have to apologize because I can’t do it. The most I can do is send you
somewhere with a phone signal, and you''ll be on your own."
