The Consortium's Heir

The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Chapter 21 Darius woke up the next morning earlier than his roommates. Just like he guessed they had indeed gone to the club and came back very late in the night. That wasn‘t even the worst part. They had not only come back late, but they also came back very drunk. The y probably didn‘t have a lecture today, which was why they could afford to sleep this leisurely.Darius too k his bath and dressed up in his new outfit and shoes. He now looked completely different from his past self when he attended classes. He gave his roommates one more glance before shaking his head and leaving the room.Darius had no car yet, he decided to walk to his lecture venue. As he walked to hi s venue, several expensive cars passed by him including Ferraris, Audis, Mercedes and several sleek s edans. Darius didn‘t pay them any heed. He now had two super cars of his own. All he needed to do w as to wait for Bruce to deliver them; then he‘d be driving to class in an expensive car too.Darius thought s soon shifted from that of cars. He had a lot of things to do and he had only done little. Changing his w ardrobe was only one thing out of the several things he needed to do.He still needed to get a new apartment. It was time for him to move out from the dorm. Now that he had the money, he needed a better place to stay. He also remembered what his grandfather had told him. He was now the head of the Reid consortium. There were many businesses under the consortium that he couldn‘t handle alone so he needed to get an assistant as soon as possible. He decided to create time to visit his businesses to see how they wer e doing.After walking for a while, Darius got to his lecture venue. However, the welcome he received w as far from ideal. While it looked like it had been months since the break up between him and Sarah ha ppened because of the incidents that had gone by, in reality it wasn‘t even up to a week. Therefore, the details of the incident were still fresh in their mi nds.. Once Darius came into their line of sight, various students started gossiping about him. They still r emembered the fight he had with David clearly.“Hey look. It‘s Darius again.”“Just look at him. How can he be so shameless?”“I can‘t believe him. Of all

people he could go after he went after Sarah.”“He‘s so delusional.”The people gossiping about Darius all spoke in audible voices as if they wanted Darius to hear him so he was able to hear them cle arly.Darius paid them no heed. If only they knew how much he had in his bank account. If they did then he was sure that they wouldn‘t be ratting off their mouths now.Before Darius continued walking, a famili ar sports car came into the clearing. Everyone instantly recognized the Porsche as it belonged to one o f the richest guys on campus.Darius frowned when he saw the familiar sports car. From his encounters with David Lesley it was safe to say that he hated him. It was even confirmed when he and Sarah came out of the car. Darius clenched his fists tightly when h e saw the two of them share an intimate kiss in front of the student crowd, with loud cheers sounding in the background.In the middle of their kiss, Sarah locked eyes with Darius and Darius swore that he co uld make out a smirk on the corner of her lips. Darius instantly felt his heart squeezing tightly. It was cle ar what she meant by that smirk. She was doing it on purpose to spite him. Darius turned his face away from them, but his heart was hurting severely. Even though Sarah was no longer his girlfriend, he had l oved her with all his heart. He didn‘t want to admit it but seeing both of them together made him very h urt. He walked to the class and took his seat, ignoring the gossips about him. They were all gossips anyway, and would surely die down when the time was right. The lecture hall eventually becam e full after a short while. The lecture began as soon as the lecturer entered. Darius focused intently on t he lesson as usual, blocking off any thoughts of Sarah and her betrayal, and in an instant, an hour had passed. T he lecture ended rather quickly. Darius and the other students started to leave, but the lecturer interrupted and stopped them in their tracks. “I assume everyone knows about our next charity gala, right?” The professor enquired.When Darius heard about the charity gala, he scowled. Since he enrolled at this university, he had no good experiences with the charity gala.As implied by the event‘s name, the charity gala served as both a gala and a fundraiser. In the name of philanthropy, many wealthy university students utilized this as a means of showing off their money. Darius was unable to attend the event because of his finan cial situation. He lacked a quality suit, and he had no money to give for a charitable reason. How could

he give what he didn’t have to charity when he couldn‘t even provide for himself? “Due to the decision made by the higher ups, this year charity gala would be a bit different.” The lecturer said.E veryone began talking as soon as they heard that. Since everyone was aware that the charity gala had always been conducted in a single manner, they were all interested to learn what the new change to th e traditional method would entail.“I wouldn‘t waste your time on this because I‘m sure you‘re all curious about it.” The professor said when he noticed his students‘ earnest and curious looks.“The charity gala this year will be a joint event with Kingston University, Lockwood University, and Evergreen University.”
