Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 81

“Yelena, I was afraid of you and the Langleys, so I never defended myself against all the things you said about me to others. Now that everyone is around, let’s thrash things out now!”

Panic flashed in Yelena’s eyes, and the host of the day’s event had finally come over to see what was happening. When he saw Calista, Wyatt hesitated for a moment but pulled her aside anyway.

“Calista, today is an important day for the Langleys. Can you settle your personal matter privately?”

Calista pulled herself out of Wyatt’s grip and glared at him as she smiled coldly. “Settle it privately? My family is about to go bankrupt, why should I settle this privately? Do you know what your grandfather and father said to me just now? They said that if I dare to disobey Yelena, your family is going to bankrupt mine! What power your family wields! I don’t know if Yelena married into my family or my father married into hers! Mrs. Stafford, you’d better explain this now!”

Benedict’s expression darkened and forgot about trying to upkeep his image. He asked with an angry face, “They…they actually said that?!”

Wyatt looked a little guilty – he knew that his grandfather had called everyone to the back earlier over his aunt and uncle, and actually this had happened before but he never bothered himself about it.

In the past, Calista always came running out and crying and he had no idea what happened. His mother only told him that it was because Calista was disobedient and they had scolded her a little, but he never knew the actual situation was like this!

All the guests were waiting to watch a good show now. The Langleys were really flexing their muscles here, saying things like that. Usually daughters were married off into their husband’s family, and for them to control their daughter’s husband in their own house…what busybodies they were!

“How could that be? We…we would never say something like that!”

Yelena was starting to feel out of breath but she continued angrily, “You’ve hit your stepmother in front of so many people, you….you! You’ve thoroughly embarrassed the Staffords! And you still think you are in the right?!”

She tugged at Benedict and pleaded, “Benedict, say something…”

Benedict looked back at her coldly, and that cold glare made Yelena take her hand back in fright.

Calista chortled as she scanned the crowd and asked, “In the past, Yelena badmouthed me to other people and I quietly endured it. But today, I will endure it no longer! Today I want to ask everyone what you’ve heard from Yelena, and we’ll sort it out right now!”

One lady had a bone to pick with Yelena from long ago, so she pretended to be angry as she said, “You’re such an immature child! Yelena is so nice to you! She gives you fifty grand of allowance money, but only five grand to Quincy. Yet you still hit her!”

“That’s a good one,” Calista stared straight at Yelena, “Fifty grand. Did you give that to me in cash or by bank transfer?”

Yelena saw that all eyes were on her, Wyatt wasn’t helping her and the rest of the Langleys were still in the back annexe. She had no way to escape, so she trembled as she said, “Sometimes cash, sometimes transfer…”

Calista smiled again. “Then did you use your phone to make the transfer or your computer?”

Yelena couldn’t understand what Calista was trying to do, and because she was so nervous, she went along with Calista and said, “Sometimes my phone…”

“Ok, take your phone out now and check. If you can show that one of your recipients is my name and my bank account number, I’ll take it that you’ve transferred money to me before.”
