The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293

Darius had once again guessed what she was thinking. She tried to come up with a reasonable excuse for herself but failed.

Soon, she started to look fearful. It wasn’t because she couldn't think of a reason, but because Darius started to smile while looking at her for no reason whatsoever.

To Calypso, this wasn't a good thing. As she tried to think of a way to get herself out of this situation, Darius said, "Before you said anything, I truly had no intention of going after Wilson because he’s innocent in all of this. However, I changed my mind when I saw your concern and fear. Perhaps punishing or tormenting Wilson would be a better way to torture you.” As he spoke, he turned to face them.

Calypso stood there. She could clearly sense Wilson's despair at Darius’ words, and she turned pale. Wilson's reaction told her that Darius wasn't pulling her leg. He was truly wealthy and merely kept a low profile, but he would definitely walk the talk.

Without any hesitation, she stood before Wilson with her arms stretched and looked Darius right in the eye. He raised an eyebrow, feeling that the people of Almiron City had this curious tendency to give him surprises in places that he didn’t expect.

Calypso was one of them. Who would've expected her to truly care about Wilson?

Darius turned to look at Wilson, who was frowning. Obviously, he was just as surprised and confused as Darius was. He watched as Calypso shielded him with her body and said, "Have we met somewhere before?”

Calypso slowly turned to look at him, afraid that she’d only been hearing things. When her gaze landed on Wilson, she felt breathless. When Wilson saw the look on her face, he felt sure that she'd been telling the truth when saying the things she’d said the first time they met.

This only confused him more, though. He opened his mouth a few times but couldn't bring himself to ask the questions he wanted answers to. It had been years since he'd come across such sincere feelings, so he was worried that if he voiced his questions, her feelings would disappear if he were to upset her.
