“It isn't actually that dangerous,” Calista analyzed. “Since they choose to kill him by staging an accident, it shows that the person only dares to operate in the shadows. They're not really a threat, so there's no need to mobilize so many people.”
“Why shouldn't I?” Kallum raised an eyebrow, stating firmly, “I won't let anything disrupt our wedding!”
Calista couldn't help but laugh. “You're taking this so seriously, so I guess I have no choice but to aim for a child at the same time?”
Kallum also laughed. “That would be perfect!”
At that moment, Paul suddenly approached, speaking with a hint of hesitation.
“Mr. Kallum, Mr. Yost and his daughter are requesting to meet you.”
Kallum's heart skipped a beat as he glanced at Calista somewhat uneasily. This is strange. I haven't done anything wrong, so why am I feeling guilty?
Calista, however, said with great interest, “The Yost family? Perhaps they have to beg for mercy. Let them in.”
Upon hearing Calista's instructions, Paul promptly set off to carry them out. After all, everyone knew that Calista's commands were essentially Kallum’s wishes.
“Callie, if you don't want to meet them, you really don't have to.”
With a huff, Kallum grudgingly added, “It's not like they are anyone of importance.”
“No, I just wanted to see what Mirabelle has become after a year in prison.”
After all, there was nothing more satisfying than witnessing one's adversary's misfortune.
Before long, she caught sight of Mirabelle, gracefully adorned in a white dress. Considering the weather, it was quite a feat for the latter to wear such a thin dress. Mirabelle seemed unchanged from a year ago, which left Calista somewhat disappointed.
If Mirabelle knew what Calista was thinking, she would surely be livid.
Her life was anything but unchanged. In just over a year, the reputation she painstakingly built in the entertainment industry was ruined. After the scandal at school, she could no longer attend it. She had always aspired to marry into a prestigious family, but now, no one would ever marry a convicted felon, let alone the Fairchild family.
In the past, Mirabelle was a lady of high society, desired by many. However, she had fallen from grace, her current status barely a notch above Quincy.
“Kal.” Mirabelle first gave Kallum a pitiful glance, then turned her attention to Calista. “Callie...”
Her father, George, also appeared distressed. “Mr. Kallum, Ms. Stafford, I've come with my daughter to apologize.”
He appeared considerably thinner, bearing the marks of a life filled with hardships. “We hope that you will be able to forgive us, Mr. Kallum.”
Silas was not at home, and Wanda had even less tolerance for them, so she didn't show up. If it wasn't for Calista's request to see them, it was uncertain whether the Yost family would have even been allowed in.
