The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 292

Kate had been prepared to give up her whole inheritance to help Darius, but it now seemed like things between Darius and Wilson were completely different from what she’d originally thought.

She stood there and looked at Wilson curiously, thinking that Darius and Wilson must've reached an agreement. Perhaps Darius was a shareholder of the Gillette Group.

As she tried to puzzle things out, Wilson closed his eyes and sighed, looking upset. He couldn't bring himself to admit this, and he had to say it aloud in front of so many people. It was a huge insult to him, but he knew that this was exactly what Darius wanted.

Darius knew that he hadn't transferred the shares willingly, so he wanted to use this as a way to make him concede and yield to him-it was written all over Darius’ face.

Wilson couldn't help but gnash his teeth at this thought. He hated that he was aware of all this but unable to change anything. He clenched his fists tightly and forced out through gritted teeth, Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Darius has already bought over all of my assets, including the Gillette Group's shares. Everything that you see here now belongs to him.”

Calypso was still on the ground. When she heard this, she scrambled to her feet, her shock seemingly overpowering her pain. She dashed toward Wilson, then looked at him closely. After a few seconds, her expression turned into one of heartache. She slowly reached out to hold his hand.

Wilson wanted to dodge her the moment he realized what she was doing, but he sensed someone's eyes on him before he could. It made him feel uncomfortable, so he turned to meet that person’s gaze- it was coming from Darius.

What scared him was that Darius looked completely calm, but Wilson sensed something else when he met Darius’ eyes.

Whatever it was, he knew that Darius was telling him not to turn Calypso down.

Wilson couldn't stop his lips from twitching. This was the second time Darius was stopping him from rejecting Calypso, and it made him feel like there had been a change in the power dynamic.

It seemed that in Darius' eyes, he wasn't the founder of the Gillette Group or even a wealthy person- Darius just wanted to use his body to come into contact with other women to achieve his goal.

This wasn't something Wilson had ever experienced before, so an ugly look crept onto his face. He didn't move his hand away, though. His fear of Darius stopped him from disobeying him, even if his mind told his body to move.

Then, something shocking happened. Calypso looked at him with heartache, and her voice was both anxious and worried.

"You're the founder of the Gillette Group, and I know it must've been a difficult process. You shouldn't have handed your company-your heart and soul- to him no matter how much he offered you!"

This surprised Wilson. He had to admit that Calypso's words echoed his thoughts. He glanced at Darius, then quickly averted his eyes. Regardless of how much he agreed with her, there was no point in saying anything. Nothing would change.

"I did it of my own volition-Darius offered me something that I couldn't turn down, and I made the decision after considering a few other factors." As he spoke, he casually turned away to glance at Darius again, wanting to see his reaction.

To his surprise, Darius didn't seem to have heard him. His attention was completely focused on Calypso. As he tried to puzzle this out, Calypso stomped her foot and said something that made Wilson think his life would be coming to an end soon.

"You shouldn't keep silent about this! You know very well that Darius’ acquisition of the Gillette Group is a recipe for danger for the other companies in Almiron City-after all, the Gillette Group is the largest corporation here. You should be the first to speak up about this!"

Calypso looked righteous as she said this. At the same time, Wilson could see the worry and anxiety in her eyes. She looked completely different from the woman who'd earlier wanted to frame and send her niece onto another man’s bed.

Darius narrowed his eyes and said, "Calypso Anderson, I’ve given you long enough. I'm sure you've already said everything that you want to.”

After he said this, Wilson felt the hand on his arm stiffen before letting go.

Calypso turned to face Darius. She held her head high and said, “Darius, I'm sure you won't make life hard for Mr. Gillette because of me, right?"

Darius crossed his arms and laughed. "It's a little too late for you to be saying that. In your heart, you already believe that I won't take my anger toward you out on Wilson."

Calypso looked awkward.
