Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 42

He had hoped to see some hesitation and unwillingness in Calista’s eyes when he said that.

“I will not regret it. As long as you remember our deal,” replied Calista coldly as she stared at him.

Her words made Kallum turn pale and red at the same time – this was the biggest humiliation he had ever suffered all his life! So after he had done all these stupid things for her thinking she still carried a torch for him, she actually really didn’t like him anymore.

“Calista! You’re really good at this! You want to be the Fairchilds’ goddaughter? Fine! I’ll fulfil this wish of yours!”

Kallum flung the door open and walked out, his fury enough to burn the whole building down.

Calista was confused by his reaction because she was very sure that her body was merely reacting as part of a normal biological process. Now that she had a second chance at life, she wasn’t going to waste any time on Kallum, not a single second.

When she thought about all the other important things she had to do, Calista quickly got changed and headed back to the Stafford residence. There was a good show coming up, and she hoped Jonathan wouldn’t let her down.

When she reached the door, Calista could hear her father shouting in anger. With a little smile on her face, she walked in to find the usually snobbish Yelena kneeling on the floor and crying as she held onto Benedict’s leg.

“Benedict! It’s not what you’re thinking, I…I…I must have been drugged! I don’t know who that man is, I don’t know anything!”

Benedict kicked her aside, but Quincy came running at him and cried, “Daddy! Daddy, you must believe Mummy! Why would Mummy betray you? Someone must have drugged Mummy!”

Benedict laughed coldly. “Drugged? Who would have drugged her in this house? I didn’t catch that guy, but it doesn’t mean you can take me as a fool!”

Benedict angrily turned and went upstairs. Yelena was still crying when she spotted Calista and her expression became threatening.

“Was it you? It must have been you! Only you hate me so much you would drug me! You little despicable woman! I’ve underestimated you! You’re doing such despicable things at such a young age!”

Calista smiled. Looks like Jonathan was pretty obedient. The first thing she had told him to do was to let her father find out that Yelena was having an affair, but she didn’t expect him to do such a perfect job of it – he was definitely great at plotting against others.

“What are you smiling about!” Yelena asked furiously. The more she thought about it the more suspicious she became of Calista. She couldn’t have been so desperate for sex in her own house and dragged Jonathan into bed, so she must have fallen into some trap laid by Calista!

Calista shook her head and laughed, “If you always walk outside late at night, you’d eventually run into a ghost, Mrs. Stafford. You’re a real cougar, but it’s better to control yourself at home.”

“You idiot girl! Shut your mouth!”

Yelena made a pounce for Calista like a madwoman upon hearing these words, but Quincy held onto her. She threw her mother a look to tell her not to do anything stupid now, and not to forget their plan!

Quincy stood in front of Yelena and asked angrily, “Callie! You’ve gone too far! Mummy has been falsely accused and you still mock her!”

Calista was about to respond when Benedict walked out and shouted, “Yelena, who allowed you to scream and shout like this? Get out of the house! I don’t want to see you ever again!”

Yelena’s face paled and didn’t dare to continue quarreling with Calista. She quickly ran upstairs to seek forgiveness from Benedict – she couldn’t afford to be chased out now.

After Yelena had gone upstairs, Quincy didn’t let Calista go. Instead she approached Calista angrily and quietly said, “Callie, this is your doing, right? You’re so good at mixing medicines, and it’s not as if you’ve never made an aphrodisiac before. You don’t have the guts to admit your crime?”

Calista was smiling at first, but suddenly her expression changed and she caught one important word.

“An aphrodisiac? How did you know I’ve made an aphrodisiac before?”
