Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 364

“I don't care what tricks you're playing, but since you've decided to involve me, you should pay the price! From now on, it would be best if our families ceased contact.”

Kallum's words had left Horatio looking rather displeased. Many people had started to sense a different undercurrent. Yes, why had the Ingram family arranged an engagement for their precious son with a lunatic? The banquet that day seemed to have been planned with ulterior motives.

At this moment, Horatio was surprised that Kallum remained completely unruffled. If Harvey were to die, it wouldn't be unjust at all.

Seeing Kallum determined to confront him, he pleaded anxiously, “Mr. Kallum, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean it like that...”

At that moment, a flustered butler rushed over, exclaiming loudly, “Something terrible has happened, Mr. Ingram! Earlier, when we tried to stop Ms. Quincy, she accidentally cut someone's arm with the wine bottle she was wielding at Mr. Kallum. Now, that person has developed a fever!”

How could this be? Calista was sure of it. The half bottle of wine that Quincy had taken away didn't contain any of Kallum's blood. In other words, Horatio had indeed come for Kallum today.

But why? Their families had a close relationship. The Ingram family had only reached their current status due to the support of the Fairchild family. Why would he do such a thing?

Many people, unaware of the real situation, subconsciously took a step back from Kallum after finding out the truth.

Wait a minute. Wasn't the matter of Kallum falling ill already clarified? How did something like this still happen?

Kallum couldn't figure it out. What was Horatio's motive? Wasn't his actions akin to shooting himself in the foot?

In the presence of so many people, Horatio didn't even bother to put on a pretense. Instead, he scolded with a feigned innocence, “What on earth are you talking about?”

Suddenly, he pulled out a testing device from his pocket. Pointing at the bloodstain on the ground, he said, “Look, this is Mr. Kallum's blood right here on the ground. I'll test it for you right now!”

No sooner had he stepped forward than Kallum had grabbed him by the collar.

“Horatio, what are you implying?”

Kallum lowered his voice, his tone grim. “What are you scheming? What do you want from me?”

After being pulled up, Horatio stopped those who wanted to rush forward to save him, lowering his voice as he spoke with a smile.

“Mr. Kallum, you seem quite agitated. I'm merely trying to dispel everyone's doubts. After all, those who are here today are all friends and honored guests. But you're obstructing me, Mr. Kallum. Is there something secretive you wouldn't want to share?”

“State your intentions,” Kallum said.

“You enjoy playing games, but I don't have time for your riddles.”

Everyone exchanged glances, unsure of what they were up to. What was once a pleasant banquet had now turned into a complete mess, leaving a sense of unease among the crowd.
