The Consortium’s Heir Chapter 249

Bilgi’s eyes hardened with confidence.
“Darius Reid, you may own immeasurable wealth, but this is Almiron City! Here, the Reid family’s wealth can never compare to the Gillette family’s!”
Darius frowned, not uttering a single word as he found it unnecessary to confirm nor deny Bilgi’s statement.
A long while passed, yet Bilgi never got a response.
His confidence soared as Darius did not react, nor did the latter continue exerting pressure on his body.
He jutted his chin, proudly trumpeting, “So, it doesn’t matter how wealthy your family is because you need to respect the rules here! Also, I work for the Gillette family.I’ve served them for a long time, so you should show me some respect to ensure your safety in this city.”
He was so confident that he forgot about Kate’s presence entirely.
Kate raised her foot and stomped it on Bilgi, a raging fire burning her eyes.
“How curious.When exactly did you start working for the Gillettes? You claim to have served them for a long time, so what kind of services did you offer them? Could it be those contract opportunities that got stolen from my dad’s company, the Anderson Group?”
“Shut your mouth!”
Still sprawled on the ground, Bilgi slammed his fists against the floor before pointing at Kate.
“You have no authority to speak here since your dad’s whereabouts are unknown, and he’s unable to manage the company.Now, I’m the only person you can contact who knows the company like the back of my hand.If I were you, I’d keep quiet or help myself off the ground! Do it for the sake of your dad’s company or even ensure the stability of your future!”

A murderous shade of red seeped across Kate’s cheeks.
She snarled through gritted teeth, “I’ve never met anyone as shameless as you! Firstly, you and I know that it’s my dad’s company.Secondly, my dad isn’t dead —he’s merely missing! Perhaps he’s on holiday at a place without any signal, or maybe he lost his phone and wallet but is on his way home.My dad will return! His absence isn’t permanent like you’re implying! Therefore, there’s no need to worry about who’s inheriting the company!”
Overwhelmed by the growing wrath within her, she babbled but ensured to enunciate clearly.
She continued, “Besides, you’ll never have your way if things are as you say! As my dad’s only child, I’m the heir who’ll inherit his company!”
Bilgi was initially furious, but when he heard those words from Kate, he began guffawing as though listening to a joke.His palm smacked the ground to express the vigorous amusement he felt.He laughed for what felt like forever.
That startled Kate, who instinctively jolted backward.
Her brows furrowed as creases formed on her forehead.
Even so, her gaze remained on Bilgi.
Unable to tolerate his laughter any longer, Kate knelt to grab a fistful of his hair while thundering, “What are you laughing at?”
Bilgi’s laughter died as soon as the pain overwhelmed his senses.
Yet, his eyes reddened with even more amusement.
All that laughter made his voice a little hoarse.
His eyes fixated on Kate’s while he emphasized every word with the utmost seriousness, “It’s because you’re not your dad’s only child.He’s quite the fickle man who has more than one family.”
Kate felt baffled by that information, so much so that her grip loosened, and her knees unknowingly buckled as she sat on the ground.
The sight of that reignited Bilgi’s boisterous laughter.
Darius could no longer stand the state of things at that point.He pointed his toes toward Bilgi’s stomach before kicking with full force.
It sent Bilgi crashing against a wall some distance away.
His body dragged against the ground, his clothes ripping, which left no barrier between his skin and the floor.
Only then did he finally stop laughing.
Darius let out a quick exhale before looking at Kate, still on the ground as she struggled to accept the truth she learned from Bilgi.
Erin had silently remained aside this entire time, but now, she felt the need to speak up.
