Chapter 289

Benji thought that Darius would at least consider it. To his disappointment, Darius shook his head

firmly. "I might have a slightly better impression of you now, but it's not enough to stop me from going

after someone who has repeatedly tried to harm me."

His face and tone were devoid of emotion, making it clear to everyone that Benji's wish would never

come true. Benji paled. He put his hands on his knees, seemingly wanting to get to his feet, but he

failed.

Calypso stood nearby, watching them. She didn't expect Benji to go this far for her, especially when he

usually acted like he couldn't care less about her. Her heart skipped a beat, and she placed a hand on

her chest as she walked toward him.

The moment she started moving, Darius heard her footsteps. He frowned deeply and turned to look at

her with dissatisfaction, but he didn't stop her. She stopped before Benji and looked down at him.

All Benji knew was that a pair of expensive-looking heels had appeared within his line of sight. He

subconsciously looked up to see Calypso standing before him. He frowned and bowed his head again.

Calypso had felt the slightest bit moved by his earlier actions, but it now dissipated. She said shrilly,

"You know how dumb you are, yet you're still not thinking before you act. This will only make you

dumber and make me hate you more!"

She thought this would anger Benji, but she was wrong—he didn't even blink an eye. She stomped her

foot as she listened to his steady breathing and took in his calm expression. "You really are an idiot,

and I can't believe you're my brother! Darius isn't wealthy at all; he's just putting on a show. In fact, I've

already given you my reasons for coming to this conclusion."

Benji's eyes widened at her words. He opened his mouth to speak but ultimately remained silent. He

didn't expect his sister to be so stupid-it was clear as day that Darius was extremely wealthy, but

Calypso still insisted that she was right.

He wanted to say a few things on Darius' behalf but chose not to. He knew that nothing would change

Calypso’s mind. She would only accept what she believed to be the truth.

Calypso had put her hands on her hips when she'd spoken earlier. When she didn't receive a reply, she

put them down and glared at Benji, who was still kneeling on the ground. She screamed, "Are you

deaf? I'm talking to you!" Her face was filled with contempt as she pointed in Darius' direction.

"I've told you this repeatedly, but you've chosen to believe him over me. Am I your flesh and blood, or is

he?"

Her gaze was trained on Benji as she said this, and her chest heaved. Unfortunately, Darius was the

only one who caught the look on her face. He thought, "So, she still cares about her family."

Kate had just recovered from her shock when she heard Calypso's words. She frowned and said,

"Things aren't like what you think. Darius is extremely wealthy; I can vouch for him. Also, he has

everything that a wealthy person should have!"

Calypso merely crossed her arms at Kate’s words, but Kate knew that she didn't believe her. Her chest

started to heave with rage, but she couldn't find the words to convince Calypso. As the seconds ticked

by, Calypso started looking more and more pleased with herself. When Kate saw this, she blurted out

without thinking,

"I know that you're doubting me because I can’t give you the answer that you want to hear, but all I can

say is I was telling you the truth! Nothing can change that!"

Darius watched them and reached up to rub his temples.' Look, there's no point in arguing about this.

As I said earlier, Calypso's already dead to me."

Kate fell silent and looked at the ground hesitantly. Darius could tell what she was thinking, so he said,

"I don't think you need to keep getting upset over this. The fact that Calypso could do this proves that

someone's backing her up. I suspect that the mastermind's someone from the Gillette family, but I don't

have any proof. Not that it matters anymore-she already admitted to getting someone to come after

me."

Kate gaped at him and asked, "What? When? Why didn't I hear anything about that?"

Darius' gaze swept over her. He didn't want to answer her, but after a moment's hesitation, he said,

"Before I boarded the plane to Almiron City.”
