The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279

However, when he sensed the shift in Benji's emotions, he immediately turned back to look at Benji. Caught in the act, Benji stiffened. At the same time, he looked thoughtful.

The Anderson family was affluent, so he'd seen many martial arts experts. None of them had the sensitivity Darius possessed, however. Benji found it hard to believe that such a sharp person was poor.

In fact, if he could gain control of the Anderson family, he'd definitely want to take Darius under his wing, provided he had enough money to do so.

Darius was surprised by Benji’s pondering again, but it didn't take long for Benji to return to his senses.

Calypso looked furious. She clenched her fists tightly and swung them around, her voice like nails on a chalkboard as she screeched, "That's enough! You're such a disappointment! You're my brother, and I'm the only person in this world that shares your blood. Yet, you're protecting William's daughter even though he's already dead!"

Silence descended upon them for one second after she said that. Then, Benji let out an agonized cry while Kate screamed, "What are you talking about? My father’s not dead! He's just not around at the moment! He's..."

She stopped short and whipped around to gaze at Darius, looking nervous and guilty. On the plane, she'd promised to listen to Darius. Now, however, she'd let the cat out of the bag. She didn't know what to do to appease him.

To her surprise, Darius didn't seem to show any sort of reaction to her words. He stood there, looking curious and excited. It was as if he was watching a circus.

Kate breathed a sigh of relief. Sne was sure Darius had heard her despite Benji's cry being louder than hers, but he didn't seem to be mad. This meant that he wasn't affected by this matter, which gave her the confidence to deal with it independently.

She turned back to Calypso and saw that her expression was exactly what Kate had expected.

Calypso's face turned beet red. She didn't expect her niece to say such a thing to her. Before this, no one in their social circle thought she was nice. Now, Kate's words only confirmed their suspicions. Her breathing sped up, and her eyes started darting around again.

She didn't think she could find a good way to resolve this, so she turned to look at Darius. Even if she'd already pulled this move, she still decided to make it happen again to distract everyone's attention.

Darius noticed that her eyes were on him again. He raised an eyebrow, a trace of curiosity flashing in his eyes. He was honestly interested to know what Calypso would do to him this time. The moment this thought formed in his mind, Calypso had already made her move.

Instead of scolding him from a distance as she'd done before, she'd dashed toward Darius so quickly that the wind from her movements swept Kate’s hair. When Kate realized what had happened, Calypso had already appeared before Darius and reached up to grab him by the collar.

Kate's eyes widened in shock. Darius glanced at her, and she started worrying that her eyes would pop out of their sockets.
