The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289

Benji thought that Darius would at least consider it. To his disappointment, Darius shook his head firmly. "I might have a slightly better impression of you now, but it's not enough to stop me from going after someone who has repeatedly tried to harm me.”

His face and tone were devoid of emotion, making it clear to everyone that Benji's wish would never come true. Benji paled. He put his hands on his knees, seemingly wanting to get to his feet, but he failed.

Calypso stood nearby, watching them. She didn't expect Benji to go this far for her, especially when he usually acted like he couldn't care less about her. Her heart skipped a beat, and she placed a hand on her chest as she walked toward him.

The moment she started moving, Darius heard her footsteps. He frowned deeply and turned to look at her with dissatisfaction, but he didn't stop her. She stopped before Benji and looked down at him.

All Benji knew was that a pair of expensive-looking heels had appeared within his line of sight. He subconsciously looked up to see Calypso standing before him. He frowned and bowed his head again.

Calypso had felt the slightest bit moved by his earlier actions, but it now dissipated. She said shrilly, "You know how dumb you are, yet you're still not thinking before you act. This will only make you dumber and make me hate you more!"

She thought this would anger Benji, but she was wrong—he didn't even blink an eye. She stomped her foot as she listened to his steady breathing and took in his calm expression. "You really are an idiot, and I can't believe you're my brother! Darius isn't wealthy at all; he's just putting on a show. In fact, I've already given you my reasons for coming to this conclusion."

Benji's eyes widened at her words. He opened his mouth to speak but ultimately remained silent. He didn't expect his sister to be so stupid-it was clear as day that Darius was extremely wealthy, but Calypso still insisted that she was right.

He wanted to say a few things on Darius’ behalf but chose not to. He knew that nothing would change Calypso’s mind. She would only accept what she believed to be the truth.
