Chapter 281

Leah's voice was firm, and her eyes were confident.

Kate took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and started to tremble. As time passed, her trembling grew
worse.

Benji wasn’t much better off, but he took a deep breath to calm himself down. Then, he placed a hand
on Kate's shoulder and said, "There's no need to get mad over the things she said.

She grew up with her mother and was educated the same way. Trust me-I may not be the brightest, but
I'm definitely the best at telling right from wrong among everyone present.”

Kate could tell he was trying his best to comfort her, but she could sense that he wasn't doing too well
himself. She took a deep breath to calm herself, then turned to look at Darius with reddened eyes.

"I think you helped me to make the correct decision." Then, she looked away.

Calypso had already recovered from her earlier embarrassment. At Kate's words, she shot to her feet
and dashed over to Darius, grabbing him by the collar again.

"It looks like William's disappearance has to do with the both of you! You two must've conspired to
harm him. As long as you free him now, I can sweep this whole thing under the rug.”

Kate scratched her ear, feeling like this sounded familiar. Then, an ugly look crept onto her face. She
started to tremble again, and her voice was shaky with rage as she said, "What's that supposed to
mean? What have I done to warrant you badmouthing me in front of the whole world? I want you to
make things clear in the presence of everyone here!" She'd never been so enraged in her life.



This made Leah and Calypso smile victoriously, however. Leah walked up to her, her face streaked
with tears, and her voice gentle yet hoarse as she said, "Kate, there's no need to hide the truth
anymore. No matter what happened or what you intend to do, the cat will be out of the bag once we
investigate this man next to you.”

Kate paled. This was the first time in her life that she'd felt so helpless because she knew that Leah
was right. If Darius didn't want to help her, Leah and Calypso could find out what had happened as long
as they looked into the matter. Who cared whether it was the truth?

However, after spending some time with Darius, she'd come to understand him a little. The possibility
of that happening was close to zero. She stood there, not knowing what to do. At this moment, she
wanted nothing more than to look to Darius for help, but she knew she couldn't. She'd already caused
too much trouble for him.

She had no choice but to hold herself back, stopping herself from turning her thoughts into actions. She
clenched her fists tightly, took a deep breath, and looked at Leah. She knew she had to say something.

Otherwise, Leah would ensure the whole world knew about this. If that were to happen, people would
think that Leah's fallacies were true.

Something unexpected happened when Kate opened her mouth. She was about to say something
when Benji-who had been silent all this while-took a step forward and shielded her with his body.

She was filled with a sun-like warmth. She looked at his broad back, as she'd done countless times as
a child, and her eyes turned red. Tears started to streak down her face.

Benji heard her weeping, and he frowned. He felt anxious, but he knew he couldn't show it. However,
he didn't realize there was no way to hide his emotions from the smart people before him. He was like
an open book to them, and they could tell exactly how he felt.



Benji said, "I find the fact that you're here odd. Darius was right; the moment I showed up here, it only
made things worse for Kate. This reminds me of how you turned me down all those years ago when I
wanted to use my connections to help your daughter when she was in trouble.” His face was devoid of
his usual gentleness, and his eyes were cold and complicated.

Calypso couldn't help but tremble. She'd never expected her perfect plan to fall through! Also, the
brother that she’d been taking advantage of for years had suddenly woken up and turned his back on
her! This was all Darius’ fault-he'd somehow gotten Benji on his team.

Thus, this led to Calypso reaching out to grab Darius by the collar once again, despite them being
further apart because Kate had approached him earlier. This time, however, Darius didn't allow her to
succeed. He took a step back to stand shoulder-to- shoulder with Kate, then stopped. Calypso couldn't
touch him anymore.

He straightened his collar and said to Bridget, who was standing nearby, "Take down how much this
shirt costs and have this woman compensate me for it. Her rough actions have ruined it, and I can't
wear it anymore in the future.”

Bridget put her hands behind her back and nodded calmly.

Calypso's face turned red with rage. She gritted her teeth and pointed at Darius, but her eyes were on
Benji as she screeched, "Iloathe having to tell people you're my brother, you know? Because I find it
hard to believe that someone with whom I share the same blood is such an idiot! You've never had a
mind of your own and never thought about the truth of the matter. You believe them all the same,
whether it’s Kate's words or mine. The only thing that’s consistent about you is the fact that you keep
wavering!”
