Chapter 303

Darius seemed very composed and did not even open his eyes while he nodded. Then, he opened his eyes, saying, "I've considered the possibility of this."

He rested his arm against the car window, fists curling as he continued wearily, "Given Austin's age, he wouldn't have the guts to behave this way if he didn't have someone influential supporting him. Not to mention, he could never afford such an expensive sports car."

His deduction garnered a sharp inhale from Erin.

"Judging from his looks, someone must've told him about his relationship with William not long ago while spoiling him rotten to gain his trust. When I got close to him earlier, I noticed he had sunburn marks on his body and calloused hands-something only manual laborers develop," said Darius. He leaned further into the car seat, his eyes narrowing. "That person must've lied to Austin. Also, I bet said person owns some of Anderson Group shares. Otherwise, Austin wouldn't have believed them."

'Try investigating from this angle,” Darius eventually said while massaging the back of his neck. Without waiting for Erin's response, he immediately grabbed the door handle and alighted the car.

Outside, Austin had lost all hope, thinking Darius would not give him another chance to explain himself. Yet, as he shut his eyes in preparation for death, he suddenly heard the car door opening.

His eyes shot open while he whipped his head toward the sound; true enough, Darius was walking toward him. Hope reignited in his eyes after seeing that.

No one expected Darius to step out of the car-not even Edward. Seeing the former approach, Edward halted and turned to look at Darius. He greeted with the utmost politeness, "Mr. Reid."
