Chapter 68
(Reid Mansion)
James Reid, Darius' grandfather and former head of the Reid consortium was going through some documents in his study. The documents were a report of how well Darius had been performing as the new head of the Reid consortium.
Ever since he handed the leadership of the Reid consortium down to Darius, his life had been very basic. Apart from the occasional reports of how the companies were faring, he completely detached himself from company matters.
He would have not demanded the reports of how the companies were faring, but he needed to know, as Darius was merely a student and still new to the business world. Therefore he was glad when he read the reports and saw that Darius was doing incredibly well. There were even increases in the stock of the companies.
James sighed. He was indeed glad, as it proved that his grandson was just as shrewd as the rest of the Reid family when it came to business. He sighed again. He was now getting older as he was 72 years old now. He no longer had the energy to handle a consortium as large as the Reid consortium.
He was always worried about who would inherit the company, and which led him to have so many sleepless nights. Therefore one could imagine his joy when he finally found Darius. He was even gladder that Darius was handling everything perfectly. With what he read from the reports, he didn't need to worry anymore.
He was still deep in thought when the door to his study abruptly opened. He jolted out of his reverie and was about to scold whoever entered for his lack of courtesy, but when he saw the panicked look on Bruce's face, he refrained from doing so.
"Mr. Reid! There's trouble!" Bruce exclaimed in an equally panicked voice.
James frowned at Bruce's words. In all the years Bruce started working for him he had never seen him get so worked up. Even when he lost his son and daughter-in-law in a car accident Bruce was still more composed than this. What could have possibly happened that would make him lose his cool so much?
