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 Wils

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

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

Bridget had dropped Edward and Erin off someplace safe earlier. Once she left, the two found a coffee shop nearby, taking shelter until the dust settled with Darius and the Gillette Group. They sat down, but before they could order any drinks, they heard some people whispering from the table next to theirs.“Oh my god, why would anyone upload this kind of video online? Tsk! My eyes hurt from watching it…” a guy said while shaking his head at his phone.The second person eagerly looked at the phone and exclaimed, “Maybe it’s because the two people in that video are very famous! That guy’s Darius Reid, the top dog at Kingston University. What’s even more shocking is he used to be the poorest student there. It’s just that he somehow became rich overnight.”Upon hearing that, the first guy’s jaw fell wide open.“Woah,” he replied, “I didn’t know that. Well, what about the girl in the video? She looks pretty. Although, nothing about her seems remarkable. Is she a celebrity?”“No, that you

Edward frowned and hurriedly turned the steering wheel while explaining to Erin, “We’re about to collide with the other party’s car. It can’t be avoided, but I can assure you that we won’t get hurt.”Based on the few car chases he had experienced, he could tell that the other party’s driver did not want to harm them. Still, what happened next shocked him; Erin shook her head, saying, “No. What I’m most worried about now is Mr. Reid’s safety. I don’t care about anything or anyone. Not even getting into a car crash will faze me as long as I can get to Mr. Reid at once.”Fortunately, things turned out as Edward had expected; no one got hurt, nor did either side’s cars suffer any damage. Edward remained in his seat, massaging his temples. A raging headache pounded at his temples as he saw the many sports cars fleeing in the other direction. Not only that, but the drivers were all teenagers with brightly dyed hair, which meant they were all from wealthy families and seemed rebellious. T

“You’re a child, so I don’t want to aim my firearm at you. Consider this your last chance to lower your gun,” Edward commented with a neutral tone as he stood composedly. However, Maurice saw the former’s calmness as fear. He retracted his gun, casually leaning it against his shoulder while jutting his chin. He sat in his car, shutting the car door while mocking Edward through the open window, “Don’t you think the way you’re speaking to me is counterproductive to what you want me to do?”Edward remained unmoving but had already narrowed his eyes. No one could tell how he felt since he spoke emotionlessly the entire time. “I’m curious—what do you mean by that? I’d like to know what you think my motives are.”Maurice’s eyes widened. He wanted to know whether Edward was genuinely curious or if the latter was trying to embarrass him. His face then warped hideously compared to everyone else’s when he could not decipher Edward’s facial expression. He was both desperate and determined to

Taken aback, Edward whipped his head around to look at Erin. He immediately understood when he saw the beads of sweat on her forehead and the goosebumps all over her arms. Lips pursed, he headed back to her side.Time had never felt this slow to Erin before. Things already felt like they had been dragging on for a while, but Edward’s slow pacing made things worse for her. She glared daggers at him when he stopped to cast one last glance at the group of youngsters before finally running back to the car. Erin’s gaze was equally as frosty as her voice by then. She was quick to bark at him, “Get in.”That was the first time Edward had seen the icy side of Erin. However, he knew why she was upset, so he kept quiet and obediently got into the driver’s seat. Edward took longer than expected, not knowing how to respond to the group of youngsters that caused him so much trouble.He could tell some of the teenagers in the group were genuinely sorry but had to stick up for Maurice since they we

Austin lay on the ground, watching as Darius fell deep into thought. He could not help smugly raising his chin, saying, “Oh? Are you afraid now that you’ve heard my name? Let me tell you this—it’s too late to beg for my forgiveness now! Because, as the Anderson family’s only heir, I won’t let you off the hook easily!”He simultaneously gripped Darius’ foot, trying to push it off his chest. However, he soon clenched his jaw and narrowed his brows into a deep V when he failed to make Darius budge. The latter’s foot stayed unmoving on his body like a massive boulder, and he could not do anything about it.Having depleted his strength, he stopped resisting. His arms sprawled on the ground as he gritted his teeth. “I’m warning you! Get your foot off me now and kneel to prove your gratitude toward me for sparing you! Because in two days, I might become Anderson Group’s chairman! I promise that you would’ve gotten shot to death if you had crossed me after I inherited my family’s business!”
