The Consortium's Heir

The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Darius was finally able to make it to class after a few minutes of walking briskly. Luckily, the lecturer wasn‘t in the class yet which meant that he wasn‘t late. Darius took his seat and waited for the lecturer to arrive. Just a minute later, the lecturer arrived and the lecture started.

There wasn‘t anything unusual in the lecture. After an hour, the lecture ended and everyone started to leave the lecture hall.

As Darius stood up to leave, he heard several gossips flying around about him and his encounter with Pearl Chamberlain. Darius sighed. News really travelled fast. In just an hour the little incident with Pearl had already spread across the whole Business Management department.

Not only that, the way most of his classmates, especially the females, looked at him changed. Before he could notice that some of the females in his class stared at him with pity, but now only disgust and repulsion was visible in their gaze.

“What a pervert. And to think that he was here parading as a pitiful soul.”

“I mean has he no shame. Blatantly grabbing a lady‘s chests in public? How insulting!”

“I thought that even if he was poor he would have some dignity and self respect. But now it seems that I was grossly wrong.”

“I‘m even embarrassed to be in the same class with him.”

“Look at his clothes. Who knows what vile thing he might have done to change his outfits?”

Darius clearly heard all of their snide remarks but paid them no heed. He however paid them no heed. Even when he was poor he never demanded or needed their pity. They had never extended a helping hand to him when he was poor so why should he care about their false pity especially now that he was the head of the Reid consortium?

Being labeled as a pervert by such unimportant people did nothing to affect him so he didn‘t even bother explaining himself. He just walked out of the lecture hall leaving them to their thoughts.

When Darius checked the time on his phone he saw that it was too late for him to search for a new apartment today. He checked his schedule and saw that he was free tomorrow, so he decided to search for a new one tomorrow.

He was already tired from the day‘s events so he decided not to walk back to his dorm. He instead boarded a school transport cab back to his dorm.

When he got to the dorm, he saw that it was empty again. His roommates had probably woken up late and were now taking make–up classes to meet up with the lectures that they missed.

He checked the time again and saw that it was already 6 pm. After taking his bath and changing his outfit, he laid down on his bed exhausted.

He watched several videos on different social media apps to cure his boredom. Just as he was about to fall asleep, a notification flashed across his screen.

Alice?

Darius knew who Alice was. Alice was Sarah‘s roommate. He had seen them together a lot of times when he was still dating Sarah. Although he rarely spoke to her, the few times that he did she had left a very good impression on him. She was one of the few people that did not judge him because of his poverty.

Alice wasn‘t as pretty as Sarah but she was very pretty herself. Although she wasn‘t part of the top 10 beauties in the campus, she was solidly part of the top 20.

He also knew that she was a streamer. During her free time, she made several streams about different things, so she was a well known figure in the school. Many guys had asked her out on dates several times, but she turned them down for reasons best known to her.

Darius decided to join the live stream. He clicked the join button on his screen and was instantly redirected to the main stream channel.

“Hello everyone! It‘s your favorite streamer here again!” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Several of Alice‘s followers began tuning in as soon as she began her live stream. The number of viewers increased from o to 5,000 in just a few minutes, and more people kept showing up!

Darius watched the stream with a nonchalant expression on his face. It was another of Alice‘s casual streaming where she talked about what she ate for breakfast, how her day went and other uninteresting topics to her viewers.

He was about to quit the live stream when Alice made a shocking announcement, prompting him to stay behind.

“To make today‘s stream special, I have decided to introduce a surprise guest to you all!” Alice announced cheerily.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, the one and only Sarah Ginn!”

Darius had a complicated expression on his face the moment he heard Alice‘s announcement. He knew that Alice and Sarah were close friends but he did not expect her to invite Sarah to her live stream.

Because of Alice‘s sudden announcement, Darius decided to continue watching the stream. He wanted to know why Alice suddenly invited Sarah to join her stream.

A few seconds after Alice made the announcement, her viewers started commenting rapidly, blowing up the whole comment section.

“OMG it‘s Sarah!”

“Goddess Sarah!”

Alice smiled to the viewers when she saw the comment section blowing up. Alice was sure that her plan to invite Sarah to join her stream was definitely a success.

“Alright guys. As you all know, my lovely friend here Sarah is in a relationship with the famous David Lesley.” Alice said. As she spoke, she turned her phone to where Sarah sat and gave her a close up view.

The comment section exploded again when they saw Sarah in the live stream. Although Alice was a beauty, she was not on par with Sarah who was ranked 5th among beauties in the whole campus. Although Sarah was widely known by the student body to be in a relationship, that didn‘t mean that she didn‘t have admirers. That single gesture increased the number of viewers from 10,000 to 20,000.

“‘Today, my friend Sarah here has decided to do a question and answer session on my live stream, If you have any questions please don‘t hesitate to ask. I assure you that she‘ll answer all your questions, so go ahead and ask! And my lovely viewers, don‘t forget to send gifts while you‘re at it!” Alice announced before winking at the camera. “Oh my God Alice you‘re so beautiful!” “Alice is my goddess!”

“Alice you‘re the best!” [ilovealice213 just gifted Alice a spaceship!) A spaceship was worth around $500, which meant that someone had gifted Alice $500, and the question and answer session hadn‘t started yet! “Thank you so much ilovealice213 for your gift! I really appreciate!” Alice said cheerfully. A few fans gifted Alice five blue roses, with each blue rose valued at $100. This increased her profits from the stream to $1,000 from $500.

Alice waited for a few seconds to see if she would receive more gifts, but when she didn‘t she decided to go on with the question and answer session.

The stream continued and was doing incredibly well until a commenter asked Sarah a question. The instant Sarah came across the question, the expression on her face changed.
