Darius didn't allow them to ask more questions after saying that. He looked at Calypso's waist and said
calmly, ‘You have a blade tucked into your waistband now, don't you? You must've put in a lot of effort
to pick it up amidst the chaos earlier."
Calypso paled, not expecting Darius to know about this. Earlier, when she was doing this, she'd kept an
eye on Darius to ensure he wasn't paying attention to her. She stiffened, at a loss for what to do.
Benji suddenly looked up at Darius with a resolute gaze.” Darius, I’m sure there's a misunderstanding
somewhere. Calypso might've made many wrong choices, but I'm positive she wouldn't stab someone."
Darius opened his mouth, then shut it again and massaged his temples. "I don't think there's anything
further to discuss. If you have something to say about this, I don't mind dealing with the both of you
together.”
Everyone's expression changed at his words. Calypso looked expectant, and Kate looked worried, but
Benji merely nodded. “If you can prove that you're right, I have no reason to go against you.” He was
still kneeling on the ground, but his back was straight. It was a touching scene.
While everyone's eyes were on Benji, Calypso's gaze was trained on Darius. Benji's words had pulled
her out of her reverie, and she looked doubtful. She found it hard to believe that Darius could withstand
an attack from her blade.
At first, she'd felt slightly worried because he was already aware of the blade tucked into her
waistband, which meant that he would have his guard up. So, she pulled the blade out and threw it
onto the ground in front of everyone. Then, she started walking toward Darius.
When Darius saw the scheming look in her eyes, he knew what she was up to. He took in the gleeful
looks coming from the other members of the Anderson family, raised an eyebrow, then turned to look at
the computer screen.
Calypso couldn't be happier about this-she didn’t expect him to underestimate her so much! So, as she
walked over to him, she put a hand into her bag, preparing to pull out the other blade hidden in there.
Darius narrowed his eyes without saying a word, merely standing there with his hands still in his
pockets. Benji watched Calypso trustingly.
Darius sighed softly and shook his head. Benji was going to be disappointed this time. Suddenly, a
white light flashed before him, which was followed by Kate and Benji's terrified shouts.
They were so loud that no one heard the sound of the blade landing on Darius’ body—it was one of
metal clashing against metal. Calypso's arm was still stretched out, and her eyes were wide with horror.
She'd never been in this situation before and didn't know what to do next.
On the other hand, Darius was surprised to see that she was still standing before him despite her plan
failing. She hadn't chosen to flee. He didn't expect this, so he smiled.
Wilson felt like he’d been waiting for Darius for ages and was running out of patience. He'd already
prepared all the necessary documents, so he printed them out and signed them before walking out into
the garden.
He was greeted by the scene of Calypso's failed ambush, and his jaw dropped. "It looks like I've
missed out on the fun. Can someone bring me up to speed on what's happening here?"
He didn't receive an answer because the only people present were Darius and members of the
Anderson family. Wilson rubbed his nose awkwardly and continued, "Uh, maybe I can just guess. Did
Calypso try and fail to stab Darius?" He looked around at the people present, but no one answered
him.
Calypso had already calmed down. Things couldn't get any worse from here, and she was out of
alternatives. She retracted her arm and allowed the blade to fall to the ground. Her expression
remained calm as she looked at Wilson.
"Are you sure you haven't been lied to? This Darius character honestly doesn't look like a wealthy
person.”
She kept her eyes trained on Wilson, and what happened next made her feel truly terrified-Wilson
looked at her like she was an idiot, then burst into laughter. "I never would’ve expected you to have the
guts to say that about Darius! I don't know whether to praise your courage or mock you for your
ignorance."
Calypso understood every word he said, but she didn’t understand what he meant. She asked in a
small voice, "Is he really a wealthy person?"
Wilson glanced at Darius. He hadn't forgotten that Darius didn’t want people to know about his true
identity. However, to his surprise, Darius nodded at him.
He grinned and turned back to Calypso, saying, "I have to be honest and say that you're not completely
correct.”
