Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 46

She put on a sad face and beat her chest, “It’s so hard being a stepmother. If I’m too strict, then Callie would think I have bad intentions. But if I don’t care about her, I’m afraid she’ll be led astray. But she’s still my daughter after all, I don’t want her to be enchanted by some lecherous man. You must understand, Callie is already engaged to be married!”

She purposely emphasized on the words ‘engaged to be married’, so as to bring out Calista’s promiscuity.

Wyatt wanted to reject the idea of watching the CCTV, but everyone in the living room thought it was a fantastic idea!

“Oh goody! I’m really interested in how psychiatrists treat patients!”

Another girl laughed and couldn’t hide her expression while she said, “Sure, let’s watch it first, in case we’ve misunderstood her!”, but she obviously hoped that the camera footage would be scandalous.

When Yelena had obtained support from the guests, she got ready to play the camera footage on the TV in the living room. But Benedict thought he had heard Yelena’s voice and walked out to check what was happening. When he saw it was indeed her, he couldn’t help but yell, “What are you doing back here!”

There were many people around, so Benedict couldn’t really shout too loudly at her. But Yelena was much more thick-skinned, and so her eyes lit up when she saw Benedict and she quickly dragged him to the living room and said in a loud voice, “I came back for a good reason – I found out that Callie might have fallen for Dr. Larkin.”

Benedict nearly fainted. Callie and Dr. Larkin? How could that be? They almost fought when they first met!

Yelena saw that Benedict did not quite believe her, so she quickly turned on the TV and used the remote control to switch to the CCTV channel while speaking, trying to get the footage up on screen before Benedict could refute her.

The large TV screen in the living room moved to the CCTV channel and a black folder icon appeared. Once she clicked it open, she would be able to see what was happening in Calista’s room right now.

When Wyatt realized Benedict didn’t understand what was going on, he quickly shouted, “Aunt Yelena! Do you really want to look at the CCTV footage in front of so many people? This is invasion of Calista’s privacy!”

Benedict suddenly realized that the screen on the TV did indeed look like a CCTV interface, and he quickly tried to stop Yelena with a shock.

Yelena was irritated that Wyatt had tried to interrupt – this wasn’t his family! Why did he have to stick a foot in?!

Yelena tried to dodge her husband while quickly saying, “Hubby! This is all for Callie’s good! Don’t you want to see how that Dr. Larkin is treating Callie behind closed doors? Callie is still so young, I’m afraid she’ll be led astray!”

What she said did make some sense, but still they couldn’t just play the footage in front of so many people!

So Benedict’s expression became even fiercer than before. “Give it to me! Yelena! What are you trying to do!”

Benedict almost got his hands on the remote control when Yelena quickly started playing the footage on screen before he could.

What was she trying to do? She was trying to kill off Calista! She wanted her reputation to go down the drain and lose everything she had!

The huge screen immediately lit up and everyone couldn’t help but look at it. Yelena was more eager than anyone else to watch how Calista would embarrass herself!

But when the footage played, there was absolutely nobody in the room! Yelena’s expression froze. How could it be? Didn’t Quincy say everything was settled already?

Everyone was initially prepared for a good show, but now there was nothing to see, and they were upset there was no exciting live streaming to watch.

“What’s going on? I thought you all said you didn’t see anyone come out?” Yelena asked everyone in the living room.

Wyatt breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to go snatch the remote control from Yelena, but luckily nothing bad had turned up on the screen.

Benedict snapped out of it and shouted angrily, “Yelena! Are you nuts? Who allowed you to install a camera in Callie’s room? She’s my daughter, not a criminal!”
