Calypso relaxedat his words and started to look victorious. “That must mean that he isn’t awealthy person.” Unfortunately for her, she was absolutely wrong. Wilson smiledwith satisfaction.“Darius comesfrom one of the most powerful families in the world, and he has immeasurablewealth. In fact, he’ll be inheriting all of his family’s businesses in thefuture,” Kate said sincerely as she looked at Calypso, hoping to see herapologize.Though she didn’tlike Calypso, she knew Benji wanted to help her. And so, she was doing what shecould to help. However, she was disappointed once again.Calypso stoodthere with her arms crossed, looking mocking. She said sharply, “I know you’redesperate to be with Darius, and you’ve already thrown your family aside forhim. In fact, when your dirty laundry was aired for the world to see, youdecided to continue helping Darius for the sake of your relationship ratherthan thinking of ways to protect our family’s reputation. That’s all thatI’ve be

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

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

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

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
