NovelEnglishChapter 280
Darius didn’t say anything, though. There wasn't any need to because Kate had already started
screeching, "Calypso Anderson, let go of Darius this instant, and I'll turn a blind eye to what you've
done so far. Once my father's back, I won't tell him about this, either."
Calypso quickly stopped when she heard this. Then, she whipped around so swiftly that her hair
whipped against Darius' face. He frowned but didn't say anything.
Calypso wanted to let go of him but didn't dare do so. She knew that someone of his wealth definitely
had bodyguards protecting him, but for some reason, they hadn't done anything to her.
If she were to let go of him at this moment, there was no way Darius' bodyguards would let her off the
hook.
She discreetly took in her surroundings at this thought, but no one appeared. She relaxed a little,
looked at Kate, and said lowly, "Kate, your father's still alive, isn't he? You know where he is and how
he's doing." Her tone went from being questioning to certain.
Kate didn't expect this to be the matter that concerned her the most and didn't know how to answer her.

Benji's eyes widened and reddened, quickly filling with tears. He opened his mouth to ask Kate what
was happening but ultimately didn't. He shut his eyes, took a deep breath, and remained silent.
Kate didn't notice this; all her attention was on Calypso. Calypso was all she had eyes for at the
moment. She shrugged, looking nonchalant. "Yes, you're right-1 know where my father is and how he's
doing."
A myriad of emotions flashed across Calypso's face, eventually forming a mask of agitation and joy.
There was even an acceptable amount of blame and relaxation in her eyes. "Oh, you. Why didn't you
tell us about this earlier?"
She turned to look at a young woman among the crowd as she spoke. She dabbed her tears away and
hurried toward her, reaching out to hold her hand. "Leah, did you hear that? Your uncle’s still alive!
Judging from the way your cousin looks, he must be doing fine. I bet it's because your prayers have
been granted." She crossed herself and said softly," God bless."
A small snicker rang out, making Calypso's expression turn steely. Her eyes flitted across everyone
present, but all of them were smiling. She wasn't sure whether she could leave this place without
feeling humiliated today. After all, everyone knew what she was here for-to get rid of Kate and get her
hands on all of William’s shares.
Just as she was wondering how to twist the situation to benefit her, Leah suddenly asked, "Why didn't
you tell anyone that you knew that Uncle William was still alive? Why did you allow us to experience
such worry and sorrow?"
She frowned as she looked at Kate disapprovingly. "I know you have issues with my mother, but you
should've at least told Uncle Benji about it. You didn't, and that's what I find to be weird. Also, you've
always been uncaring toward your family. As far as I can remember, you and Uncle William have
always been getting into arguments. The more you detested him, the less you came home."
Kate started to frown as she listened to Leah bring up the past. Finally, the look on her face turned ugly,
and she said angrily, "What are you getting at? Just cut the crap."
Darius raised an eyebrow and looked at Leah, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. She didn't look
like she belonged to the Anderson family at all —at least, none of his investigations into the Anderson
family had revealed the existence of someone so clever.
Also, one only needed a single glance to tell the difference between Leah, Kate, and the rest of their

Leah's beauty was subdued, which was completely the opposite of Kate and the rest of the Andersons-
their appearances were bold, and they exuded confidence.
However, when Leah spoke, she constantly averted her gaze.
Darius followed her line of sight, but there was nothing there. From the moment he noticed this, he'd
kept an eye on her.
Leah didn't notice this, though. On the contrary, she held her head up high and said confidently, "I think
I have plenty of reason to believe that you're the one behind Uncle William's disappearance!" As she
spoke swiftly, she pointed a finger at Kate.
Kate didn't expect her to come up with such a guess. In fact, Leah looked pleased with herself, which
was completely at odds with how she’d acted growing up. Kate's eyes widened, and the cogs in her
mind whirred as she tried to process this. She stood there unmoving as she stared at Leah dazedly.
Leah suddenly became teary-eyed as she faced Kate, saying shakily, "Kate, I don’t understand why
you did this. Uncle William may have fathered many children, but he's never recognized them as his
own. You're the only one he’s allowed to carry on the Anderson name!
What’s there for you to be dissatisfied about? Moreover, the Anderson family hasn't had a matriarch for
all these years- and it's all because of you! No matter how deeply you hated Uncle William, you
shouldn't have harmed him!"
