The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295

Calypso lay with her chest on the ground, her eyes widening as she tried to turn her head, wanting to frown bitterly at Darius but failing; it strained her neck too much to look at Darius. That, however, did not stop a boiling fury from surging inside her.

The Anderson family suddenly kicked a loud fuss as Darius was about to enter the villa.

He had not dealt with such disarray in a while, so it made him stop, shove his fingers into his ears, and sigh. Disdain swept past his now steely eyes as he growled, "Although Calypso can no longer speak on behalf of you, I can't help wondering if she's always been your leader in these past few years."

Darkness shrouded the Anderson family members’ faces just then. They could not confirm Darius' assumption as it was not the truth.

Seeing how everyone fell silent, Benji spoke up. "We haven't kept in touch with them in the many years that passed. Still, from what we know, not much should've happened on their end.”

Lips curling into a smirk, Darius remained unmoving and exclaimed with the utmost seriousness, "Oh... I see. So, your extended family has existed like tiny and insignificant grains of sand this past decade."

That only darkened the Anderson family members' faces more. Sheer hatred brimmed in their gazes, plunging into Benji as though they were blades.

However, this time, Benji did not flinch or cower; he merely held his ground and allowed them to scrutinize him as much as they wanted. Uninterested in them, Benji met Darius’ gaze with sincerity while nodding.

"Indeed. They've been just that-sand. That's why I was also taken aback by their sudden appearance outside Remnard Estate."

Benji also pursed his lips bitterly, thinking he was the biggest fool at that instant because, up until his family member's intentions got revealed by Darius, Benji had always assumed they were genuinely here to help Kate out.

He smiled and was friendly, even toward the family members that made things difficult for him in the past, on the journey here.

Alas, they knew about Calypso’s plan but did not inform him. The thought of that alone made Benji clench his jaw.

Among the Anderson family members in the yard was a much older man whose brows drew close as he marched toward Benji.

He took wobbly steps with the aid of his walking stick.

Yet, once he stopped before Benji, he was so enraged that he no longer needed the stick to stand upright. His features hardened, and he slammed one end of his walking stick against the ground while yelling at the latter without thinking twice, "I'm very disappointed in you, Benji! You'll never rise to your older brother's greatness! Your brother always put the company first when he was the Anderson Group's chairman! The family’s needs-whatever they may be- would never hinder him!"

With furrowed brows and curled lips, Benji sneered at the older man’s remarks.
