Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 48

Calista rubbed her eyebrows as if she was having a headache and said, “Let me think…so at first when you thought that the person in the footage was me, why didn’t I see you wail like this? Or could it be that because it was me, you were ok with it. But when you realized it was someone else, you became angry and preferred to insist it was my trap?”

Calista’s words were sharper than knives. Yelena was so angry that her lips trembled, but not a single word could come out.

But even though she couldn’t speak, Benedict could. Regardless of which daughter was in the footage, he was thoroughly embarrassed by what happened!

He shouted, “What you crying about! You still dare to wail and cry here? Quincy, go back to your room now!”

Quincy cried even louder, “Daddy! You have to believe me! I only drank a glass of wine and this happened, I don’t even know how this happened!”

Everyone had mixed expressions on their faces – earlier in the footage, Quincy’s face was very red, but her words were clear and logical, and certainly didn’t sound like someone who had lost control of herself, who would believe this excuse?

After that she went to beg Calista, “Callie! Callie, say something! I don’t even know Jonathan, why would I…Callie, you’re the one who sees him every day!”

Even at such a time, Quincy still hadn’t forgotten to take every chance to smear her. Calista merely smiled calmly and didn’t refute any of her words, while Benedict shouted at Quincy to go to her room again.

Benedict truly doted on Quincy and even though he was really furious, he couldn’t find it in himself to say anything nasty. Meanwhile, Jonathan saw that the situation wasn’t looking good, and made his escape from the window!

A gardener came running over and reported, “Sir, someone slid down the pillar from Ms. Calista’s room, I tried to give chase but he hit me!”

Benedict suddenly remembered there was another guilty party and clenched his teeth as he shouted, “Go after him now!”

Then his eyes lit up when he noticed Wyatt.

“Wyatt! Help to call the police! There must be more than meets the eye!”

Wyatt was full of mixed feelings as he helped to call the police, and Jonathan instantly became a wanted man. But to Calista, who was watching coldly by the side this whole time, she felt that her father was still…as biased as before.

Quincy realized both her parents were on her side, so she didn’t want to embarrass herself any further and cried while running back to her own room.

Yelena wanted to immediately ask her what happened, but there were so many people present, so she had to grit her teeth and bite her tongue and try to clean up this mess for her daughter.

“I’m really, really sorry about what happened today! Someone must have plotted against Quincy, our Quincy has always been obedient and mature, and would never do something like this! All of you are Quincy’s friends, please don’t tell anybody what happened today, otherwise Quincy will be ruined for life!”

She cried and pleaded and tried her best to erase all guilt from Quincy, but no matter how well she phrased it, these people would not necessarily want to keep mum about the matter, especially those few girls who didn’t like Quincy, even though they all agreed on the outside.

But it would be hard for Quincy to find a man from a good family to marry within Horington now.

The more Yelena thought about it, the angrier she became, and her head hurt!

All this must be Calista’s fault! If it wasn’t for her, Quincy wouldn’t have been so embarrassed! Why didn’t Calista just die!

And that Jonathan ought to die as well! He went for Quincy even though she had instructed him to go for Calista! He couldn’t do anything right!

Because of Wyatt’s rank, the police came very quickly, and Benedict busied himself with cooperating with the police officers, allowing them to check all the food and drinks in the living room. Yelena continued pleading with the guests as she sent them out, and only Calista and Wyatt had nothing to do.

When he saw Calista turn to leave, Wyatt grabbed her wrist without thinking, “Where are you going?!”

At the door, Calista looked back at her wrist in Wyatt’s hand, and narrowed her eyes. “Why? You think I know where Jonathan is and you want to arrest me now?”

Wyatt had to admit that he did think for a moment that Calista knew Jonathan’s whereabouts, but once he was exposed by Calista like that, he suddenly felt discomfort in his heart, and he asked painfully, “Calista, about Quincy…was it you?!”

Quincy had an unnatural redness on her face, and so she was definitely drugged. His aunt was suspicious, but she wouldn’t have harmed her own biological daughter like this! So the only explanation was that his aunt wanted to harm Calista, but she realized it early and turned the tables on them, pushing Quincy into the pit of fire instead.

He couldn’t believe that Calista would be so cruel. There were many ways to seek revenge, but Quincy was only seventeen! How could she harm her like this?
