The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 231

He cleared his throat and straightened his collar before saying, "It’s a skill that we enlightened martial artists can use. You just need to direct that warm energy to your eyes to see everything you want anything at all, as long as you think about it."

This came as a surprise to Darius. He widened his eyes and looked at Shelvin doubtfully, which Shelvin didn’t appreciate. Shelvin took a deep breath and looked at Darius sincerely, then said, "Darius, I’m not lying to you. Why would I when I want to work for you in the future?" He paused, then continued calmly, "If you don’t believe me, you can try it. You'll definitely see whatever you want to."

Darius was still doubtful, but he couldn’t suppress his curiosity. He tried to direct the energy from his abdomen to his eyes. What happened next shocked him —it was the exact scene he’d imagined!

Erin flushed when she saw him staring at her. She took a deep breath before saying, "Mr. Reid, you’re making me shy, staring at me like that." As she said this, Darius felt his mouth go dry.

He never expected his mind to conjure up such an image, which was why he couldn't take his eyes off Erin —she was butt -naked in his eyes.

It was only when he registered what she’d said that he returned to his senses. Then, he jumped slightly and quickly turned away. Erin didn’t understand why he was acting so oddly, so she hurried over to him and reached out to steady him. "Mr. Reid, are you okay?

Why did you jump? Do you feel unwell? Should I get you a doctor?"

Darius’ heart was calm as he listened to her concerned questions, but he was acutely aware of her hand on his arm. He pulled his arm out of her grasp and put it behind his back before clearing his throat to conceal his awkwardness. Then, he frowned and said, " I'm fine. You can let go of me now."© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Erin sensed the displeasure in his tone and quickly put her hand down, but she couldn’t conceal her disappointment. Shelvin stood there silently, watching them. He turned to Darius and smiled knowingly, saying, "So, the view was pretty nice, huh?"

Realization dawned on Erin when she heard his words, and her face burned bright red. She immediately kicked Shelvin behind his knee. He could've avoided her, but he knew that he’d crossed the line earlier. He didn’t dodge her, so he ended up falling to his knees before Darius.

When Darius heard the sound of Shelvin’s knees coming into contact with the floor, it made him wince. Shelvin didn’t look too bothered, though, making Darius raise an eyebrow. It seemed that

Shelvin was worthy of his respect. Soon, however, Darius pushed this thought out of his mind.

Because Shelvin looked up at him, grinned, and mouthed, "Don’t worry. I’m aman, too, and I can understand how you feel. I’ll take this kick on your behalf, but I hope you’ ll be braver the next time. I'll be waiting to attend your engagement party!"

Darius rolled his eyes, choosing not to say anything in response.

He put stuck his hands in his pockets and said coldly, "You keep saying you have something important to say, but you’ve failed to do so. Tell me what you know about Samantha Williams."

Shelvin knew that he was really out of patience now, so he quickly got to his feet and said, "You've already tried directing the energy to your eyes, right? And you saw whatever it was you were thinking of. Basically, your eyes can act as an X-ray, and no one will be able to hide anything from you. You'll be a walking X-ray machine!"

Darius didn’t say anything. He merely turned to sweep his gaze over everyone present and found that Shelvin was right. It was like he’d been introduced to a new world—one he’d never imagined existed.

His gaze landed on Samantha.

He could clearly see that the blood vessels in her brain weren’t like the ordinary person’s—they were all lumped together, and some of them had turned black. They were probably dead.

To Darius, this meant something really was wrong with her brain.

This made his eyes widen, but it also made him more curious. With the Gillette family’s wealth, there was no way they would choose a disabled person to be the future chairman's wife.

Yet, this was exactly what had happened. It was unimaginable, and he looked at her in wonder.

Samantha couldn’t hear their conversation.
