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? RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

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.

Darius watched them stare into each other's eyes silently. Eventually, he lost patience and said, "Calypso, I don't think you heard Wilson correctly. He was asking you a question earlier, meaning he doesn't remember who you are. He doesn’t think you're familiar; he just believes that your feelings for him are real.”

Calypso’'s joy faded, but her gaze was still sincere and attentive. "I already introduced myself when we first met.” Her voice was so calm that it made Wilson frown.

Before he could say anything, she continued, "You didn't know me then, so it's okay if you didn't believe me. Now, please allow me to introduce myself again." She stopped here and waited for Wilson's response.

To her joy and surprise, Wilson allowed her to continue. She was about to when something infuriating happened-Darius beat her to it. "Earlier, she said that she fell for you when you gave a speech at her university. This was before you founded the Gillette Group."

Wilson looked at her questioningly. Calypso wasn't happy about being interrupted, but she still blushed under Wilson's gaze and quickly nodded. Wilson started to search his memories.

Before he could get far, Darius said, "Since you two already know of each other's existence and feelings, you can treat it as a bonus from me.” He waved a hand.

Bridget reached out and swiftly dragged Calypso to her side. Kate frowned and raised a hand, wanting to stop this. However, when she saw how Darius looked at her, she lowered her hand without saying a word.

Calypso watched her actions and lowered her head. Darius glanced at her sleeve, and his eyes filled with amusement. Then, he waved a hand.

Bridget started to take Calypso away with everyone's eyes on them. As they walked past Darius, the sound of metal clanging as it fell to the ground rang out.

Darius took a step back, allowing everyone to see what was happening. It was yet another blade, and it was now curved. More importantly, the handle was still in Calypso’s hand. She paled and looked at Darius in shock.

Bridget widened her eyes in shock because she hadn't noticed Calypso’s actions at all. If not for Darius noticing the blade in time, he would probably already be dead. This was an insult to her career, and she couldn't control her fury.
