Calista arched an eyebrow and glanced at her. “When I slapped you right in front of him, he didn’t even. say anything.”
Mirabelle almost passed out from anger upon hearing that.
That was her sore spot. Kal is clearly on my side, so why did he indulge Calista last time? He must’ve been too stunned and infuriated by Galista to react. That must be it!
In a fit of rage. Mirabelle began speaking thoughtlessly, “All these years, Mr. Kallum has always been nice to me. He’d give me everything I asked! We’re childhood sweethearts! But what about you? Has he ever shown you any kindness since you were a child?”
Calista felt disgruntled to hear that, but her smile only grew brighter. “But when we were kids, he didn’t dare to mistreat me either. It’s not my fault that Mrs. Fairchild favors me over you.”
Glancing at her own fingertips, she added, “Oh, I almost forgot. Last time, when I mentioned I wasn’t a good fit for the Fairchild family and suggested that Mrs. Fairchild find herself another daughter–in–law, even recommending you, do you know what she said to me?”
Mirabelle, intending to retort, fell silent when Calista brought that up. Curious to know what Wanda thought of her, she held her breath and waited for Calista to finish her sentence.
I’m the epitome of elegance in Horington. Mrs. Fairchild should be satisfied with me, right?
Calista let out an exaggerated sigh. “It’s such a shame that she said you were too pretentious. She even told me she’d never consider giving you a chance even if I refused to get engaged to Mr. Kallum. Oh, she also told me Linda was a suitable choice…
Mirabelle finally lost it and shrieked, “You’re talking nonsense! She’d never say something like that! She has a good impression of me!”
Calista’s eyes narrowed, and her expression turned serious as she questioned pointedly, “So, you’re admitting that I’m Kallum’s fiancée, that Mrs. Fairchild likes me, and that Kallum and I are childhood sweethearts?”
Bystanders could see things more objectively, and all the onlookers heard everything loud and clear. Mirabelle said that Kallum had never liked Calista since they were young, but she didn’t refute it when Calista claimed to be Kallum’s fiancée. She only refuted the part of Wanda having a bad impression of her.
That meant Calista was Kallum’s girlfriend, and Mirabelle was the mistress.
Mirabelle’s face turned pale. She had been overwhelmed by the anxiety of not being able to see Kallum recently, and it didn’t help that Calista was so harsh, causing her to lose her composure and give Calista the opportunity to strike back.
Since when did Calista become so good at this?
Calista revealed a mocking smile. “Do you know why I slapped you and Kallum didn’t stop me? That’s because I have the right to! Shameless Mirabelle!”

After she finished speaking, the room fell into a deafening silence. Aside from the troublemakers who felt embarrassed, everyone else felt inexplicably satisfied.
It’s always exhilarating to see the troublemakers try to pick a fight but end up humiliating themselves! Seems like Calista’s looks isn’t the only thing that has changed. Her mean words almost destroyed Mirabelle and her friends!
Mirabelle, defeated, was about to leave with her gang when Janice spoke up. “What’s going on? Mirabelle, didn’t you say that Mr. Kallum had feelings for you, and it was Calista who interfered? Also, I thought Calista was just a pauper. How could she be engaged to Mr. Kallum?”
Calista spoke slowly. “Though my family isn’t wealthy, we’re far from poor. The Royal Pharmacy is ours.”
“What’s going on, Mirabelle? How could you be a mistress? Even if Mr. Kallum doesn’t like Calista, you can’t just do this!” Before Janice could finish her sentence, Mirabelle had already disappeared from sight. Her pace quickened with each step, as if she wished to vanish completely.
Janice wasn’t a fool, so she realized she had been deceived. She never expected the gentle and graceful Mirabelle to lie to her.
