Darius didn’tallow them to ask more questions after saying that. He looked at Calypso’swaist and said calmly, “You have a blade tucked into your waistband now, don’tyou? You must’ve put in a lot of effort to pick it up amidst the chaosearlier.” Calypso paled,not expecting Darius to know about this. Earlier, when she was doing this,she’d kept an eye on Darius to ensure he wasn’t paying attention to her. Shestiffened, at a loss for what to do.Benji suddenlylooked up at Darius with a resolute gaze. “Darius, I’m sure there’s amisunderstanding somewhere. Calypso might’ve made many wrong choices, but I’mpositive she wouldn’t stab someone.”Darius opened hismouth, then shut it again and massaged his temples. “I don’t think there’sanything further to discuss. If you have something to say about this, I don’tmind dealing with the both of you together.”Everyone’sexpression changed at his words. Calypso looked expectant, and Kate lookedworried, but Benji merely nodded. “If you c
Calypso relaxedat his words and started to look victorious. “That must mean that he isn’t awealthy person.” Unfortunately for her, she was absolutely wrong. Wilson smiledwith satisfaction.“Darius comesfrom one of the most powerful families in the world, and he has immeasurablewealth. In fact, he’ll be inheriting all of his family’s businesses in thefuture,” Kate said sincerely as she looked at Calypso, hoping to see herapologize.Though she didn’tlike Calypso, she knew Benji wanted to help her. And so, she was doing what shecould to help. However, she was disappointed once again.Calypso stoodthere with her arms crossed, looking mocking. She said sharply, “I know you’redesperate to be with Darius, and you’ve already thrown your family aside forhim. In fact, when your dirty laundry was aired for the world to see, youdecided to continue helping Darius for the sake of your relationship ratherthan thinking of ways to protect our family’s reputation. That’s all thatI’ve be
Kate had beenprepared to give up her whole inheritance to help Darius, but it now seemedlike things between Darius and Wilson were completely different from what she’doriginally thought. She stood thereand looked at Wilson curiously, thinking that Darius and Wilson must’ve reachedan agreement. Perhaps Darius was a shareholder of the Gillette Group.As she tried topuzzle things out, Wilson closed his eyes and sighed, looking upset. Hecouldn’t bring himself to admit this, and he had to say it aloud in front of somany people. It was a huge insult to him, but he knew that this was exactlywhat Darius wanted. Darius knew thathe hadn’t transferred the shares willingly, so he wanted to use this as a wayto make him concede and yield to him—it was written all over Darius’ face.Wilson couldn’thelp but gnash his teeth at this thought. He hated that he was aware of allthis but unable to change anything. He clenched his fists tightly and forcedout through gritted teeth,“Darius has
Darius had once again guessed what she was thinking. She tried to come up with a reasonable excuse for herself but failed.Soon, she started to look fearful. It wasn’t because she couldn’t think of a reason, but because Darius started to smile while looking at her for no reason whatsoever.To Calypso, this wasn’t a good thing. As she tried to think of a way to get herself out of this situation, Darius said, “Before you said anything, I truly had no intention of going after Wilson because he’s innocent in all of this. However, I changed my mind when I saw your concern and fear. Perhaps punishing or tormenting Wilson would be a better way to torture you.” As he spoke, he turned to face them.Calypso stood there. She could clearly sense Wilson’s despair at Darius’ words, and she turned pale. Wilson’s reaction told her that Darius wasn’t pulling her leg. He was truly wealthy and merely kept a low profile, but he would definitely walk the talk.Without any hesitation, she stood before Wils
She swiftly gave Calypso a kick in the back, making her lose her balance and hurtle toward the ground. However, Bridget was still holding on to her, so half of her body was on the ground while the other half was in the air. Then, two things fell out of her pocket, attracting everyone’s attention.Darius had been watching Calypso. He still had some questions for her, and he frowned when he saw the things that had fallen out of her pockets. He walked over to her and picked them up, an ugly look creeping onto his face when he realized what they were.Bridget felt it’d been a while since she’d seen Darius like this. She wanted to see what he was holding but couldn’t because she was still pinning Calypso down. She couldn’t afford to let her guard down around such a cunning woman. Fortunately, Darius showed her what the things were. “This is surveillance equipment. Everything that happened earlier has already been sent to someone.”Bridget frowned, then said seriously, “Her people must be
Calypso lay with her chest on the ground, her eyes widening as she tried to turn her head, wanting to frown bitterly at Darius but failing; it strained her neck too much to look at Darius. That, however, did not stop a boiling fury from surging inside her.The Anderson family suddenly kicked a loud fuss as Darius was about to enter the villa.He had not dealt with such disarray in a while, so it made him stop, shove his fingers into his ears, and sigh. Disdain swept past his now steely eyes as he growled, “Although Calypso can no longer speak on behalf of you, I can’t help wondering if she’s always been your leader in these past few years.”Darkness shrouded the Anderson family members’ faces just then. They could not confirm Darius’ assumption as it was not the truth. Seeing how everyone fell silent, Benji spoke up. “We haven’t kept in touch with them in the many years that passed. Still, from what we know, not much should’ve happened on their end.”Lips curling into a smirk, Darius
Bridget had dropped Edward and Erin off someplace safe earlier. Once she left, the two found a coffee shop nearby, taking shelter until the dust settled with Darius and the Gillette Group. They sat down, but before they could order any drinks, they heard some people whispering from the table next to theirs.“Oh my god, why would anyone upload this kind of video online? Tsk! My eyes hurt from watching it…” a guy said while shaking his head at his phone.The second person eagerly looked at the phone and exclaimed, “Maybe it’s because the two people in that video are very famous! That guy’s Darius Reid, the top dog at Kingston University. What’s even more shocking is he used to be the poorest student there. It’s just that he somehow became rich overnight.”Upon hearing that, the first guy’s jaw fell wide open.“Woah,” he replied, “I didn’t know that. Well, what about the girl in the video? She looks pretty. Although, nothing about her seems remarkable. Is she a celebrity?”“No, that you
Edward frowned and hurriedly turned the steering wheel while explaining to Erin, “We’re about to collide with the other party’s car. It can’t be avoided, but I can assure you that we won’t get hurt.”Based on the few car chases he had experienced, he could tell that the other party’s driver did not want to harm them. Still, what happened next shocked him; Erin shook her head, saying, “No. What I’m most worried about now is Mr. Reid’s safety. I don’t care about anything or anyone. Not even getting into a car crash will faze me as long as I can get to Mr. Reid at once.”Fortunately, things turned out as Edward had expected; no one got hurt, nor did either side’s cars suffer any damage. Edward remained in his seat, massaging his temples. A raging headache pounded at his temples as he saw the many sports cars fleeing in the other direction. Not only that, but the drivers were all teenagers with brightly dyed hair, which meant they were all from wealthy families and seemed rebellious. T
