Chapter 276
Wilson frowned, feeling distressed. He didn't know how to react to this. After a short moment of
consideration, he decided to tell Calypso the truth. So, he turned around and looked at her.
Before he could say anything, the person beside him cleared his throat. It made him jolt, and he turned
to look at Darius. Then, he saw Darius turn away nonchalantly as if nothing had happened.
In that instant, Wilson tensed up. He understood what Darius had meant! This realization soured his
mood because it was a skill only subordinates needed to have when dealing with their superiors.
In his case, he'd picked it up without even putting in the effort to. His expression became complicated.
However, he didn’t dare look at Darius again after his hint. A few seconds later, he turned back to look
at Calypso. This was her first time experiencing the feeling of having his eyes on her, and she blushed.
She fiddled with the hem of her clothes, and her tone was odd as she said,
"Mr. Gillette, when I was in middle school, the Gillette Group had yet to come into existence. Back then,
you came to my school to give a speech, and that was when I found out what an amazing person you
are. I've been dreaming of speaking to you for years."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWilson’s lips twitched. He'd heard too many people say these things, and he was sick of it. Others
would gauge his reaction or test the waters before proceeding, but not Calypso. She was blunt and
sincere, and he didn't often encounter this situation.
This time, however, Wilson had let his imagination get the better of him. Calypso meant every word she
said, but she didn’t tell him that her teenage infatuation meant nothing compared to the wealth-or lack
thereof-that the Gillette family back then could bring to her.
This was the reason why she hadn’t approached Wilson after the speech to speak to him. Wilson would
never know about this.
He stood on the steps, looked down at the woman before him, and frowned. "My patience is limited, so
just cut to the chase and tell me what you want. If it’s not too outrageous, I'll consider it."
The moment those words were out of his mouth, he regretted them because Calypso dropped to her
knees.
Wilson was shocked, but he didn't allow it to show. He remained upright, his face devoid of emotion as
he said, ‘Three, two..."
Calypso's eyes widened. Was Wilson really being so heartless? Soon, however, she calmed down and
told herself, "It's okay. He doesn't know you now, so he doesn't know how perfect you are. Once you
two spend enough time together, he'll know what a match made in heaven you two are. By then, there's
no way he'll treat you this way.’’ She comforted herself and calmed down in a matter of seconds.
Then, she said, "I'm not asking for much. All I want is a small favor. I have a niece on the verge of
getting tricked by someone, and she’ll be scarred for life if that happens. Our hearts go out to her, but
we can’t help her because she’s much too stubborn. I'd given up all hope, but you showed up. You’re
like the sun to our dreary lives..."
Wilson cringed. His tone was frosty as he said, 'That’s enough! What the hell do you want?"
This woman had said many things, but none of them meant anything.
Calypso could sense how serious he was, so she gulped and said, "I hope that you can be with my
niece and show her what a truly wealthy person is like. She doesn't need anything from you-not your
wealth or for you to marry her. You just need to show her what a wealthy person's life is like." Wilson
had never expected to hear something so mindless in his life.
Despite his years in the business world, this was his first time losing control over his emotions so
outwardly. He felt that this was all because of Darius.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn his mind, he was cursing Darius, but he didn't dare look at the latter. He kept his eyes trained on
Calypso and said, "Your words have given me a huge shock."
Calypso sat down on the ground, her eyes darting around. She could sense that Wilson wasn't
shocked in a good way. On the other hand, Darius looked at Benji as if waiting for the show's climax.
Truthfully, he was curious to see how this seemingly honest and loyal man would react upon hearing
his sister’s suggestion for his niece's future. As expected, Benji didn’t disappoint.
An ugly look crept onto his face, but his lips were bloodless. His voice was shaky as he said, "Calypso
Anderson!" After that, he seemed to lose his strength, and his voice became softer.
"I know you don't like me being your brother, and I’m sorry for that, but Kate is your older brother’s
daughter. His only daughter, I might add. Now that he's gone missing, you're sending her to an old
man's bed! Do you think that's the right thing to do?"
Benji fell silent and looked at Calypso, not wanting to miss any of her expressions. Since he was a
child, he’d known that he wasn't the smartest, but he'd always thought he and his siblings got along
swimmingly.
All of them were nice to him, and over the years, they'd never gotten into even a single fight.
That didn't mean his siblings didn't get into fights, though.
Benji had always thought it was because he'd successfully found himself a spot in their hearts and that
they recognized him as their brother.
