Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 394

Calista raised an eyebrow slightly, reminiscing about that night when she barged into the Langley residence and grinning.

Seeing Calista smile, Benedict felt even more uncertain.

“I had intended to pay her medical bills out of the kindness of my heart, as we had shared a brief acquaintance, and then leave. However... she clung onto me. She claimed she was homeless, and if I wasn't willing to take her in, she might as well have been left to die in the hospital!” Benedict shook his head. “She also said that she'd do anything, even slave away, as long as I was willing to take her in. She mentioned that she had no other choice back then and now she feels deeply sorry for me...”

Benedict furrowed his brows in distress. “Moreover, she looked miserable. Her face was so thin it was almost unrecognizable. It seemed she really learned her lesson.”

Strictly speaking, Benedict was a kind-hearted man with a forgiving nature. Despite the way Yelena had treated him in the past, which had initially filled him with resentment, time had softened his anger. Seeing Yelena's miserable state, he no longer harbored such intense resentment and even felt a strong sense of sympathy toward her.

Calista set down her cup. “Where is she now?”

“She's at our place,” replied Benedict.

Upon hearing that Benedict had arrived, Kallum thought that his soon-to-be father-in-law was there to claim someone. Without a second thought, he quickly wrapped up his work and returned from the office, only to find Calista packing clothes.

“What are you doing?” Kallum's towering figure blocked the doorway. His brows furrowed in a clear display of displeasure as if he was on the verge of losing his temper.

Meanwhile, Benedict was off to one side, trying to mediate the situation. “Yeah, Callie, with all the chaos at home right now, perhaps it's better if you don't return right now.”

Kallum raised an eyebrow slightly, noticing that Benedict didn't want Calista to return. It seems something is up. No matter. I won't let my wife leave this building! Hmph!

Calista looked at Kallum. Seeing that he had returned so quickly, she walked over and spoke with a hint of resignation. “I want to go home for a few days.”

Kallum was taken aback. Just as he was about to voice his disapproval, Calista swiftly covered his mouth with her hand, emphasizing her point. “Just for a few days!”

Kallum glanced at Benedict, asking with discontent, “What's the point of going back?”

Benedict was off to the side, sweating bullets. My daughter isn't even married yet, so why can't she return to her parents' home? Why do I feel guilty every time I meet the gaze of my prospective son-in-law?

Calista chuckled lightly. “Yelena has nowhere else to go, so she slaving away at our place. She used to bully me so much. Now that I have the chance to turn the tables, of course I want to go back and enjoy it!”

“Her again?” Kallum frowned in disdain, feeling that even though those people were insignificant, they clung to her like superglue, impossible to shake off no matter how hard she tried.
