The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 291

Calypso relaxed at his words and started to look victorious. ‘That must mean that he isn't a wealthy person." Unfortunately for her, she was absolutely wrong. Wilson smiled with satisfaction.

"Darius comes from one of the most powerful families in the world, and he has immeasurable wealth. In fact, he'll be inheriting all of his family’s businesses in the future," Kate said sincerely as she looked at Calypso, hoping to see her apologize.

Though she didn't like Calypso, she knew Benji wanted to help her. And so, she was doing what she could to help. However, she was disappointed once again.

Calypso stood there with her arms crossed, looking mocking. She said sharply, "I know you're desperate to be with Darius, and you've already thrown your family aside for him. In fact, when your dirty laundry was aired for the world to see, you decided to continue helping Darius for the sake of your relationship rather than thinking of ways to protect our family's reputation.

That's all that I've been getting from you." The look on her face made it clear that she would only believe what she wanted to believe. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Kate opened her mouth, then shut it again. She didn’t know what to say anymore.

Obviously, Calypso wasn't done yet. She turned to look at Darius and stuck her hands on her hips. Darius didn't blink an eye. He knew that Calypso’s doubt about his identity had long since been extinguished by her fear because she was sure that if she were to accept his true identity, there was no way he would forgive her earlier words and actions. It would mean she'd landed in this situation because of her own stupidity.

If she were to acknowledge his identity, she would only be in for a worse punishment. So, no matter what anyone said, there was no way she would admit that she believed Darius was wealthy.

Darius looked at her blankly. As he expected, Calypso took a shot at him again. "I thought you'd formed a plan and approached Kate to get your grubby hands on her inheritance, but you should know that there’s no way the Anderson family will allow you to get away with it, especially if you ask for too much.

Moreover, your plan would only work if you’d met certain conditions-for example, if you'd won the hearts of everyone present or if you were of some use to US. Unfortunately, you don't meet any of these criteria, so I'll be the first to say no to giving you even a single cent of our fortune! Your face alone is enough to tell me that you're greedy, and it disgusts me."

She gnashed her teeth and looked at him, hoping to see humiliation and hatred in his eyes. A few seconds later, she stiffened, making her face look even more twisted than it already was. Darius saw all of this, so he smiled at her.

The look on her face told him that she was reacting exactly how he wanted her to-perhaps even better. Calypso saw the satisfied look on his face, which only made her angrier. She started to stalk toward him, but he didn’t budge.

Earlier, when Darius had called out for Bridget, she'd been on standby near Calypso and had labeled Calypso as a dangerous person. She saw Calypso move, but there was no way she would allow Calypso to get close to Darius. So, she dashed toward Calypso and gave her a heavy kick to the neck.

Bridget was a professionally trained bodyguard, so there was no way Calypso could withstand such an attack. She collapsed onto the ground, looking ghostly. She coughed for the longest time while trying to gather the strength to stand up, but she just couldn't.

Darius watched as she dug her hands and feet into the ground, trying and failing to get to her feet. Then, he turned to look at Wilson, who was still standing at the villa's entrance.

"You've been watching the show for long enough now. I think it's time for you to make yourself useful,” Darius said. Wilson didn’t expect Darius to suddenly speak to him, and he subconsciously straightened up. He looked at Darius with his eyes wide and gulped nervously.

Darius sensed how nervous he was, but he didn't care. He said, ‘Tell Calypso about our relationship and give this pitiful woman one last chance to know the truth." He found a place to sit down.

Kate stood next to him, her eyes darting between him and Wilson. She'd never imagined something like this would ever happen because of what Edward had told her before they’d gotten off the plane.

The Anderson family had some power and influence in Almiron City, but Darius had none, and he wanted the Anderson family to help Darius when he needed it.
