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.
