Chapter 12 The Two Faced Younger Sister
Even though she had only touched his lips for one moment, Calista immediately felt happier. She had wanted to do it since a long time ago but didn’t dare to. So now that she wanted to try, why not?
She licked her lips, relishing the moment.
“Just as I thought, you’re cuter when you don’t say anything.”
“Calista!” Kallum stood up suddenly. He was definitely not going to admit that he had felt something like electricity passing through him when she kissed him. How could he have such feelings toward such
a woman?
He was taller than Calista by a head, and his stare was very imposing. “You really have no shame!”
Calista looked up at him innocently. “You said I was playing hard to get, so I decided to take some initiative. You said I don’t have any shame, so I should take some advantage of you to make this humiliating title worthwhile. You think I’m downright disgusting, so you don’t have to appear in front of me in the future you know?”
“You!” Kallum narrowed his eyes at her, and shocked to see this darned woman looking excited and provocative.
She used to be so clingy and timid, how did she turn into a different person overnight?
Unfortunately for him, Wanda came back. She saw them standing next to one another and talking, and couldn’t help but smile. “What are both of you chatting about?”
Kallum wanted to draw back, but the young lady in front of him beat him to it, and that determination) in her eyes to draw the line clearly with him made him extremely unhappy.
“Mrs. Fairchild…” Calista smiled gently at Wanda and said, “I didn’t realize I’d been out for so long. My father must be getting worried, so I will take my leave now.”
“You’re leaving already?” Wanda’s disappointment was written all over her face. She saw her son standing at the side looking extremely annoyed and she wondered if they had quarreled again. So event though she couldn’t bear to let Calista leave, she let her go home.
Before leaving she kept reminding Calista to come to the house often.
“I will, Mrs. Fairchild. You don’t have to see me out,” Calista responded obediently. In front of Wanda, she remained to be that gentle and obedient girl.
Wanda nodded, sighing in her heart. Calista was such a lovely child, it was a pity that she did not have the privilege of having Calista as her daughter-in-law.
The butler arranged for someone to send her home, and Calista did not refuse this offer since she didn’t have any money on her..
Wasn’t that interesting – who would have thought the eldest daughter of the Staffords did not have a single penny to her name?

Any money she had was from her grandparents when she was a child. She used very little and saved up as much as she could.
But in the end she used up all her savings to install the security alarm.
Her father never bothered himself with financial matters, and her stepmother obviously did not give her any money. Everything that she used in school were paid for in advance, and even her clothes were low quality items bought by her stepmother, and they all made her look fat and ugly. She went to school with her sister and they carried the same surname, but nobody knew they were sisters because the difference was just too great. Her father even thought she fancied those clothes, thinking she preferred this conservative look.
Whenever Calista had to attend parties, her stepmother would bother dolling her up only for the sake of her own image. Her father would always say that she should wear such pretty clothes more often because she looked nice on them.
She always remained silent, because she never had such clothes to wear. The fancy dresses she wore to parties were ‘on loan’ from her younger sister, but she couldn’t bring herself to say so, and she didn’t dare to say so.
Sitting in the Fairchild family’s luxurious car, Calista looked out at the scenery outside, her heart heavy with thoughts. She had been given a second chance at life, so she must cherish this chance to live life independently and true to herself, and not be continually swayed or manipulated by others. But first, she had to be financially independent.
Money was necessary for her to carry out her plans….
Soon, the car reached a small estate where many well-to-do families lived, and Calista got main gate and walked to her house.
