The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

Read The Consortium’s Heir Chapter 143 – Greg and his friends’ astonishment were very understandable; as the

person who entered the room was none other than Janet Fox, the number two beauty in Kingston

University!

Janet was dressed casually, her blonde hair tied into a lazy ponytail. However, her casual dress did

nothing to hide her ethereal like beauty and her hourglass shape. Her beauty was even more

pronounced by the casual clothing she wore.

“Darius! What happened to you?” Janet asked worriedly the moment she entered the room, and did

something completely shocking the next moment and threw herself right on to Darius who lay win say on

the bed!

Greg, Marcus and Rudd all had extremely shocked expression on their faces, like they had just seen a

fish run on land. This was the second ranked beauty in Kingston University! How on earth did Darius

manage to get so close to Janet Fox?!

Darius was also quite shocked himself, if not more shocked at Janet’s behavior. While they knew each

other, they could certainly be called acquaintances at most. They were certainly not close enough for her

to hug him tightly.

“Janet, you’re hurting me.” Darius said weakly. Janet twin peaks were buried against Darius’ rock hard

chest, and it was making it hard for him to focus, especially as Janet kept moving around in his arms.

Finally, after a few seconds, Janet separated from Darius’ arms, giving Darius a well needed break.

“Could you tell me what happened to you? When I heard that you were admitted to the hospital I was so

worried!” Janet whined pitifully to Darius.

Darius had no choice but to narrate the kidnapping event to Janet, but he made sure to keep the story

short and concise.

When he was done with his narration, Janet had an angry expression on her face.

“That bastard Michael Finn!” Janet cursed angrily.

It wasn’t just her who was angered by Michael’s ridiculous behavior.

Greg, Marcus and Rudd were also angry at Michael’s behavior. Even though this wasn’t the first time

they were hearing Darius narrate what happened, they were still angered by Michael’s behavior.

“How incompetent are the police? They even managed to let him escape after everything he did!” Janet

said angrily.

“They have released his pictures to the masses and placed them on different social media platforms and

even TV advertisements too. They have also placed a hefty amount of money on his apprehension by

private investigators.” Darius said slowly.

“There’s no way he can outrun the police. It is only a matter of time before he is apprehended.” Darius

said with a lot of conviction in his voice,

He was naturally pissed off when the police officer in charge of the kidnapper told him that Michael

escaped, and rightfully so. After all no one would be happy if they were told that the person who put a

bullet in their chest escaped the police and was now roaming free.

Still there was nothing he could do other than to trust the police and hope that they were able to

apprehend Michael and bring his crimes to book.

Although Greg and his two friends were shocked by Janet’s appearance, after seeing that she was

completely different from what the rumors painted her to be, they slowly warmed up to her.

Janet also warmed up to them; showing no sign of the ice queen the rumors painted her to be.

They were still in the middle of a conversation when there was another knock on Darius’ hospital room.

The five of them in the room shared a glance with each other, before focusing their stares on Darius.

Darius was just as confused as them, as he was not expecting any visitor. While he was still guessing

who came to visit him, the door to the room opened, and Alice walked in.

Greg, Marcus and Rudd were all happy to see Alice. They knew her from the time Darius was dating

Sarah, and were very glad to see that she was doing okay after the what she was kidnap scare.

There was one person however who didn’t have a smile on their face at Alice’s appearance, and that

was naturally Janet.

Alice greeted the males in the hospital room, but the moment her eyes fell on Janet, the amicable

expression on her face disappeared and a possessive one replaced it.

Darius didn’t know it, but the first meeting between Janet and Alice was bound to generate sparks!

“Alice Voss.” Alice introduced herself to Janet coldly. She knew who Janet was, and like Darius’ friends,

she was surprised that he was acquainted with Janet Fox. However, rather than warming up to Janet,

she was on guard.

She had feelings for Darius, so there was no way she would not be able to tell that Janet had the look of

someone fascinated by Darius. Although it wasn’t as profound as hers, it was still there.

This inevitably proved that Janet Fox was a huge threat, and her ethereal beauty only made the threat

she posed bigger.

“Janet Fox.” Janet said, stretching her pale hand for a handshake with Alice. Alice accepted the

handshake, but they stared at each other, and sparks seemed to fly.

Darius and his friends didn’t know what was going on, but they could tell that there was a subtle hostile

atmosphere between the two beautiful ladies.

Janet was just about to speak up when the traditional sound of a ringtone resounded in the hospital

room. She glanced at her phone and disconnected the phone call before smiling at Darius.

“I’ll have to take my leave now. Something important came up, so I’ll have to catch up with you later.”

Janet said, and then shared a hostile look with Alice before making her way out of the hospital room.
