Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 56

“No! No! It’s not true! Benedict, you have to believe me!” Yelena had gone into a panic. Didn’t Jonathan already agree to accuse Calista? Why did he suddenly turn on them? What was Sterling doing?

Quincy was also stunned by this turn of events. Didn’t her mother say that everything was already settled? Why didn’t Jonathan follow their plan?

Wyatt was also taken by surprise. Yelena’s behavior earlier made them all think that Jonathan would accuse Calista, but he didn’t, and even said that Yelena was the one who instigated him.

Calista was also confused for a while, but after thinking about it a little longer, she understood what happened. There was only one person who could make Sterling concede defeat…

Sterling used one hand to slap Jonathan on the face, causing Jonathan to collapse onto the floor, and then Sterling carefully wiped his hand.

“Spit it out! Why didn’t you follow my instructions?”

When he thought about how he got such a slap in the face after confidently telling Calista that she was going to jail, a murderous glint could be seen in his eyes.

Jonathan was slapped so hard that he spat blood out, and he laughed as he remained on the floor. “Why should I listen to you? You immediately tried to corner me from the beginning! Even if I listened to you, nothing good would happen to me!”

He wiped the blood from his mouth.

“I suppose you don’t know right? Before you came, someone else already came looking for me and said he has already put my wife and children somewhere safe, but my parents were captured by the mafia! He said that as long as I said the truth, he will help me save them. So why should I disregard someone who’s trying to protect me and listen to someone who threatens me?!”

The moment Sterling heard his explanation, he knew who that someone was. He wanted to kick Jonathan in anger, but someone walked in and prevented him from doing so.

“Apologies sir, the Staffords have pressed charges against Jonathan, can I take him away now?”

Sterling had never been humiliated so badly in his entire life, so of course he wasn’t going to let him take Jonathan away. He tried to punch the man who came in, but the man caught his fist.

“Mr. Wolford, if I were you, I wouldn’t go against the Fairchilds. This is Horington, not Summerbank. And even if we were in Summerbank, even Harvey would not be so reckless towards Mr. Kallum. You have already crossed the line.”

Sterling contorted his handsome face in anger, “And why does Kallum want to interfere?!”

The man stared at Sterling as if he was stupid, “Because Ms. Stafford is Mr. Kallum’s fiancée!”

But didn’t Kallum hate his fiancée very much?!

Sterling didn’t get to say this, and watched as Kallum’s men took Jonathan away.

He didn’t want to bother about these two useless women, but he knew that if he didn’t save Yelena and Quincy, they wouldn’t be able to do anything by themselves. So Sterling had no choice but to coldly make a phone call.

By the time she came out from the police station, it was already quite late at night.

But this didn’t affect Calista’s high spirits at all.

She had originally imagined that she would have a tough battle to fight, but everything was settled so easily! Benedict, on the other hand, continued quarreling with Yelena, and they stopped only because Quincy pretended to faint.

When she thought about the look of hatred in Yelena’s eyes before she left, Calista sighed. She had wanted to get back at Yelena and Quincy when Yelena had let down her guard. She didn’t want to stay in the same house as her enemies.

But because Sterling had suddenly interfered, if she didn’t manage to get Yelena out of the house this time, it would be hard to deal with them.
