The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283

He was caught up in his shock at Calypso's words. He opened his mouth a few times to say something but failed. It only made Calypso angrier. She panted loudly and turned away from him, her gaze landing on Darius.

Suddenly, she smiled, making a chill run down the spines of everyone present. This didn't include Darius, of course. He stood there with his hands in his pockets, looking exactly the same as normal.

This surprised Calypso. She walked over to him, wanting to touch his face. However, she'd only started reaching out when he grabbed her wrist. Then, a sharp pain shot through her arm. This was completely out of her expectations.

Her face twisted with pain. Darius looked at her, his face devoid of emotion and his voice calm. “It's been a while since I last came across someone with such nerve. Let me try to recall how the last person died."

He looked at her mildly, but it made her shudder. Despite this, she didn't look away from him. Her hatred was obvious, and she didn't back down. In fact, she spat at him.

Benji wanted to step forward to stop her but ended up not doing so. Calypso noticed this and laughed.

"Why aren't you getting him to let go of me? You shielded Kate when you thought Darius was going to hurt her. Do you know how many times I've experienced this? Ever since Kate was born, none of you have had eyes for me. It's as if she was the only person all of you could see. You guys would give her everything she wanted, regardless of who the thing belonged to."

She turned to look at Darius and continued,

"I know you're a wealthy man, but you should know that plenty of people are wealthier than you. In fact, one of them gave me a portion of his wealth in exchange for a small favor -to destroy you so that you wouldn't be able to inherit your father's fortune.
