The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290

Darius didn't allow them to ask more questions after saying that. He looked at Calypso's waist and said calmly, ‘You have a blade tucked into your waistband now, don't you? You must've put in a lot of effort to pick it up amidst the chaos earlier."

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. She stiffened, at a loss for what to do.

Benji suddenly looked up at Darius with a resolute gaze.” Darius, I’m sure there's a misunderstanding somewhere. Calypso might've made many wrong choices, but I'm positive she wouldn't stab someone."

Darius opened his mouth, then shut it again and massaged his temples. "I don't think there's anything further to discuss. If you have something to say about this, I don't mind dealing with the both of you together.”

Everyone's expression changed at his words. Calypso looked expectant, and Kate looked worried, but Benji merely nodded. “If you can prove that you're right, I have no reason to go against you.” He was still kneeling on the ground, but his back was straight. It was a touching scene.

While everyone's eyes were on Benji, Calypso's gaze was trained on Darius. Benji's words had pulled her out of her reverie, and she looked doubtful. She found it hard to believe that Darius could withstand an attack from her blade.

At first, she'd felt slightly worried because he was already aware of the blade tucked into her waistband, which meant that he would have his guard up. So, she pulled the blade out and threw it onto the ground in front of everyone. Then, she started walking toward Darius.

When Darius saw the scheming look in her eyes, he knew what she was up to. He took in the gleeful looks coming from the other members of the Anderson family, raised an eyebrow, then turned to look at the computer screen.

Calypso couldn't be happier about this-she didn’t expect him to underestimate her so much! So, as she walked over to him, she put a hand into her bag, preparing to pull out the other blade hidden in there.

Darius narrowed his eyes without saying a word, merely standing there with his hands still in his pockets. Benji watched Calypso trustingly.

"Are you sure you haven't been lied to? This Darius character honestly doesn't look like a wealthy person.”

She kept her eyes trained on Wilson, and what happened next made her feel truly terrified-Wilson looked at her like she was an idiot, then burst into laughter. "I never would’ve expected you to have the guts to say that about Darius! I don't know whether to praise your courage or mock you for your ignorance."

Calypso understood every word he said, but she didn’t understand what he meant. She asked in a small voice, "Is he really a wealthy person?"

Wilson glanced at Darius. He hadn't forgotten that Darius didn’t want people to know about his true identity. However, to his surprise, Darius nodded at him.

He grinned and turned back to Calypso, saying, "I have to be honest and say that you're not completely correct.”
