Yelena glanced at herself, then turned her gaze toward Calista. Her eyes blazed with twisted hatred.
Suddenly, she dropped the rag in her hand and headed toward Calista. The server responsible for Calista's table was taken aback and quickly tried to intervene. However, Calista merely said indifferently, “It's okay. Let her come over.”
Only then did Yelena charge over.
But the interruption earlier struck a brief moment of clarity in her mind that was clouded with rage.
She didn't dare cause a scene by flipping the table, hissing through gritted teeth instead, “Are you here to mock me? Let me tell you this. Quincy will be here to pick me up soon! Then, there's Hans. Once he's free, he'll come and look for me too! Don't be too hasty in rejoicing in my misfortune!”
Kallum's brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything.
Calista, holding a silver spoon in one hand and propping up her chin with the other, said with a smile, “I hadn't even said anything. Why are you emphasizing that?”
Because of Matthew, Kallum secretly gave the Langley family a hard time. Matthew was so livid that he was still in the hospital. Even if he were discharged, his days would probably be numbered.
And so, his children began to fight over the family inheritance. Hans ended up being suppressed by his two younger brothers. If it hadn't been for Wyatt stepping in, he would have likely been kicked out of the family. Now, Wyatt was the one calling the shots in the Langley family, and Hans had to live at the mercy of his son. Even if Hans wanted to bring home the woman who had caused all that, Wyatt would never agree.
As for Quincy, it was as clear as day. If she were willing to take Yelena home, the latter wouldn't have ended up there in the first place.
Calista's indifferent attitude was a great humiliation to Yelena. Had it not been for this b*tch before me, I would still be the glamorous Mrs. Stafford, the cherished daughter-in-law of the Langley family! It was she who ruined everything and ruined me!
Following that thought, her emotions surged once again.
“Calista, what kind of attitude is this? I've been your stepmother for over a decade, and this is how you treat me? Yes, you've achieved fame and success. I heard that the Ministry of Education even wants to use you as a teaching material. Pah! You don't even know filial piety, so don't mislead the younger generation! I'll expose you so the whole world knows your true colors!”
Yelena's voice was loud. Coupled with the recent buzz around the name Calista, she drew the attention of many diners.
Noticing the attention, Yelena held her head high like a triumphant rooster. She looked down on Calista as if she had some leverage over her.
Kallum planned to have Yelena thrown out. No sooner had he called Quintus' name than Yelena seemed to guess his intentions.
She plopped down onto the ground and began to wail loudly, “Quick, come and look! Calista is throwing her weight around and beating up her stepmother!”
