The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

Chapter 198

Bridget ran to Darius' side, urging him,

"Mr. Reid, I think you should give Edward another chance because this matter has been plaguing him for some time now. It's plausible for a girl to fall in love with Edward at first glance and obsess over making him her boyfriend. However, Edward doesn't even remember meeting this

woman's daughter. He doesn’t even know when they crossed paths! As for the rest of this woman’s accusations about our workplace relationship, that's false as well!"

Her gaze locked onto Darius’ face, searching for any hint that the latter had changed his mind about firing Edward. Sadly, there was none.

Even Erin did not know what Darius was planning. She felt his current actions were different from what she previously thought.

Silence filled the space.

However, the surrounding onlookers now stared at Darius with disapproval. They felt he was cruel for not protecting his employee in that situation.

Edward did not accept the check.
