The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282

“If this were just between the two of us, I would still accept you as my brother. But that's not the case! You're accusing and hurting your sister because of Darius’ words!" Calypso spat out. Her expression was twisted as she bent over and pounded herself on the chest.

A trace of pain flashed in Benji's eyes at the sound of her fists coming into contact with her chest, but he didn't waver this time. He shut his eyes, took a deep breath, and said,

“You're no longer the sister I remember, and you've become a completely different person. Or perhaps, you've been lying to me since we were children. It doesn't matter-not anymore. Too many things have happened for us to return to how things used to be.”

Calypso gaped at him. Darius swept his gaze over everyone present, then raised an eyebrow and patted Kate on the shoulder.

When she didn't react, he smiled and reached out to push her jaw back up.

Only then did she notice the warmth on her jaw. She backed away, then turned to look at him. Her lips moved, wanting to say something. However, in the end, she realized she was too nervous to say anything.

So, she turned back to look at Benji and Calypso. Then, her hair stood on end.

The expression on Calypso's face was one she'd never seen before-it was a mixture of hatred and relief! As she tried to figure this out, she saw Calypso point at herself while looking at Benji.

"You really are the world's best brother!” She gritted her teeth as she said this, and her eyes were practically spitting fire.

"Remember this-l’m the one who grew up with you, not Kate! Since she was born, none of you have paid attention to me, not even our parents. When I was a child, they told me they'd leave 30 percent of the company's shares for me, but they never brought this up again after Kate was born. In fact, they stipulated in their wills that I'd only be getting 5 percent!" The more she spoke, the shakier her voice became.

She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and continued, "I Know exactly what you were going to say! You were going to say you guys did everything you could to find me the best husband, right?"

She suddenly lapsed into silence. Then, she looked at Benji again, her gaze frosty.

"You have no idea how hellish my life became from that moment on. Everything went downhill from there. I got stuck in an unhappy marriage because you guys forced me to get married! You guys were in a hurry to marry me off to someone I didn't love, so I got a random man to marry me. When things started going bad, I apologized to you guys countless times and asked for help, but neither of you did. All of you chose to believe that bastard, and none of you were on my side! Ultimately, I gave up hope and decided to take matters into my own hands-that's why I killed him. Otherwise, I’d be the one six feet under now! Either that or I'd be handicapped in some way."

She panted while staring into Benji's eyes. At this moment, she prayed that he'd give her a reaction to show that he cared about her. Unfortunately, she was destined for disappointment.

The light in her eyes slowly faded. Benji didn't notice this, though.
