The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 294

She swiftly gave Calypso a kick in the back, making her lose her balance and hurtle toward the ground. However, Bridget was still holding on to her, so half of her body was on the ground while the other half was in the air.

Then, two things fell out of her pocket, attracting everyone's attention.

Darius had been watching Calypso. He still had some questions for her, and he frowned when he saw the things that had fallen out of her pockets. He walked over to her and picked them up, an ugly look creeping onto his face when he realized what they were.

Bridget felt it'd been a while since she’d seen Darius like this. She wanted to see what he was holding but couldn't because she was still pinning

Calypso down. She couldn't afford to let her guard down around such a cunning woman.

Fortunately, Darius showed her what the things were. "This is surveillance equipment. Everything that happened earlier has already been sent to someone.”

Bridget frowned, then said seriously, "Her people must be around here somewhere.” Darius didn't know about this, so he didn't say anything. Bridget knew he was waiting for her to explain.

"I had a signal blocker installed here beforehand, and I turned it on when we came here. I was worried that someone would record a video of you fighting and spread it, so I had to make sure there wasn't any signal available. It would only work if someone used shortwaves, like for remote controls."

Darius raised an eyebrow. This was his first time hearing this, so he pulled his phone out and checked it. There should've been a full bar where the signal was, but it was currently empty.

He frowned and looked at Calypso, who was facedown on the ground. She couldn't look up at him, but she could still hear his footsteps. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

She couldn't stop trembling when she saw Darius’ shoes appear in her line of sight, but she didn't dare respond this time. He smiled when he looked down at her and noticed that even her lashes were trembling. He knew what she was going to do.

Calypso started to frown because Darius’ reaction wasn't within her expectations. He didn't swiftly get rid of her, which was unlike what that person had told her.

As she tried to think of a way to end this, what Darius said next made her hair stand on end. "Are you thinking that I should be putting an end to you right now?”

Everyone looked at him in shock. He leaned against one of the benches in the garden and sighed. Then, he shook his head and looked around at all the members of the Anderson family with a mocking expression.

"You guys are stupider than I thought. As a well-protected woman, Calypso Anderson doesn't have the ability to gather this many members of the Anderson family. I'm positive she can't remember most of your names.”

Their expressions changed. Darius stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, then he held Calypso's wrist. It made her feel like her bones were going to shatter, and she lost the strength to speak.

Benji watched this happen, feeling like he couldn't stand by without doing anything. He took a step forward and said, "Darius."

Suddenly, someone tugged on his sleeve. He frowned, knowing that it had to be Kate. He took a deep breath and made a difficult choice.

Darius’ gaze flitted toward him, and when he saw that Benji didn't continue, he said coldly, "If you're still hoping to take her home, I'll ensure that the rest of the Anderson family shares the blame for the mistakes she's made.” He removed his hand from Calypso's wrist and looked around at everyone present.

Then, he smiled and said, "Of course, if I were to do that, none of you would escape unscathed." He straightened up and stretched his shoulders, then took a step back. "You can take her away now.”

After that, he sidestepped Benji and walked toward Wilson. "I suppose that the contract is ready since you came here to look for me."

Wilson looked into his eyes, not daring to allow his true feelings to show. He didn’t know how Darius would take it. He nodded stiffly and said,

"Yes, I've finished drafting the contract per your request, so you can go through it now. You can sign it if you’re okay with the terms; once that’s done, the Gillette Group and everything under my name- excluding cash will belong to you."
