Chapter 15 A Human Head Discovered
He snorted when Calista nodded her head in response, thinking that this girl was indeed the way his aunt had described – a compulsive liar!
“Tell me, why do you think she would do such a thing Besides, the two men have plenty of money and influence, what would Aunt Yelena bribe them with?”
Calista sighed quietly, “Of course she has nothing to offer them, but what about my lovely sister? If money doesn’t work, what about sex?”
“Utter nonsense!”
Wyatt stood up with a deep frown on his face, disagreeing with Calista.
“Ms. Stafford, I know you have issues with Aunt Yelena, after all it is difficult for many children to accept a stepmother. But Quincy is only seventeen! As her elder sister, how could you say something like that!”
What does she mean by using sex, he thought to himself. Does Calista think that Quincy could be so scheming at such a young age that she’s learnt how to use her body to exchange for what she wants?
Calista merely blinked she had anticipated that Wyatt would be unhappy to hear any of this.
“You can go and interrogate those two and see if I’m telling the truth or not. They’re currently detained at your station, right?”
“You…” Wyatt hesitated.
“Since you

a pretty accurate intuition…” Calista was smiling as she said this, and even though it was a complime it sounded more like sarcasm!
Wyatt furrowed his brows even harder.
He didn’t think that Calista would simply accuse anyone, but then he also refused to believe that Quincy was that sort of person!
He decided not to continue the conversation and turned to leave.
“Wait up,” Calista called out to him.
Wyatt ignored her and continued walking. He was already prejudiced against Calista, so he wasn’t going to listen to her tell tall tales.
But he was useful to Calista, and there was no way she was going to let him leave just like that.
*Officer Langley, regarding the murder case involving a headless female corpse that happened a month ago-no leads yet, right?” Calista suddenly said these shocking words as she took a sip of tea and smiled confidently.

“I have some clues that could help you, are you interested?”
Wyatt suddenly stopped in his tracks.
After a few moments he turned around, frowning, and coldly warned her. “Ms. Stafford, giving false leads is considered obstruction of justice, and you can be legally charged for doing this.”
Calista tried her best not to laugh and stood up. “Well I can’t convince you with my words, but I could show you. I’m sure Officer Langley is a very professional man, and you wouldn’t ignore the chance of getting your hands on evidence because of your own personal prejudice, right?”
Wyatt felt convinced for the first time, especially as Calista brushed past him. He was unable to think of any counter argument, and could only follow her out.
That case didn’t belong to him, but he was very curious to see what the Ms. Calista of the Staffords was trying to do.
Their conversation was not very long, so by the time Yelena had calmed down from the fright earlier and changed her clothes to meet Wyatt, the servants told her he had gone out with Calista!
When she heard that they had gone out together, Yelena scrambled to call Wyatt, only to find that he had turned off his cell phone!
In the car, Wyatt took back his phone with some annoyance.
