Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 232

It appeared that the onlookers also harbored suspicions that the Fairchild family was attempting to conceal something significant. The swift manner in which they dealt with the disruptor, Warrick, seemed to confirm their suspicions. Is this not a sign that they indeed have secrets to hide?

The bystanders felt powerless; they could do nothing but observe as Warrick was forcibly removed, his protests echoing loudly through the hall.

“Wait!” Warrick's voice carried a palpable sense of urgency as he continued to shout. “Mr. Kallum, you owe everyone an explanation! Just clarify your sudden change of heart toward Calista! Tell us, and we'll believe there's nothing dubious going on between you two!”

Kallum couldn't help but find the whole situation rather amusing. He looked over the crowd with a faint smirk, raising an eyebrow as he asked sarcastically, “So, you all believe I owe you an explanation?”

The crowd, caught off guard, quickly shook their heads, though internally many disagreed. On the surface, however, they aligned with Kallum's perspective.

“Of course, we've always trusted you! That Warrick was clearly just trying to cause trouble.”

Some began to vocally affirm their loyalty, though their true thoughts remained hidden.

“Absolutely, absolutely. And as for your newfound affection for Ms. Stafford... well, she certainly has her charms. But that's a personal matter, isn't it?”

Yet, even as they said this, their eyes couldn't help but dart curiously toward Calista.

The dramatic shift in Kallum's behavior toward Calista, as well as her unexpected decision to research the K Virus in Corleon, had certainly raised eyebrows.

Moreover, Calista's known brilliance in medical research only added to the speculation. Could she really have discovered a way to swiftly conceal Kallum's symptoms or even prolong his life dramatically?

Even if Kallum were to pass away, as long as it wasn't from an illness, it likely wouldn't cause much of a stir. However, if it came to light that he had contracted a disease and chose to treat it secretly, risking public safety, it would plunge the Fairchild family into a severe crisis of credibility.
