Chapter 167 A Year Later
“Loves me?” Calista couldn’t help but chuckle. Seeing the discomfort on Benedict’s face, she patted his shoulder and said. “Don’t force yourself if you can’t say it, Dad. I have to tell you that the Langley family already considers me an enemy. It’s time for you to face reality.”
The color drained from Benedict’s face. He brushed off Calista’s hand and opened his mouth before closing it again. He couldn’t utter a word in rebuttal.
“All right, I’m off to class now.” Calista glanced at the time and left with a smile.
As Benedict watched Calista’s retreating figure, he let out a long sigh. He wasn’t clueless. He just yearned. for the past harmony.
There and then, he thought perhaps it was a good decision for Quincy to go abroad.
The roar of a plane taking off filled the air as Quincy departed, carrying with her Yelena’s admonitions and her resentment toward Calista.
In school, Calista seemed to sense something, her gaze drifting toward the sky. A cold smirk suddenly appeared on her face. When she reincarnated, her only thought had been to end things swiftly, to eliminate the person she despised the most. At that moment, however, she had suddenly become. composed. Let’s play a cat–and–mouse game!
A year later, as soon as a figure appeared, the group of reporters at the school gate swarmed toward it.
“Hurry! Hurry! Calista has come out!”
Calista was engaged in conversation with someone nearby, her demeanor even colder and more resolute than a year ago. However, the hostile aura that used to surround her had significantly diminished. Mainly because, over the past year, all the annoying individuals had vanished from her life, allowing her to fully immerse herself in her research. In addition, her dealings with the Fairchild family had kept her mind intensely focused on conquering K Virus. She rarely reflected on her unpleasant past experiences. As a result, she was even more radiant and unstoppable than before.
“Calista! Is it true that you developed MAC39? It’s reported that you’re only nineteen. How did you manage to do it? Who helped and inspired you?”
“Calista! Calista! The introduction of the MAC39 vaccine will benefit women all over the world. With such an achievement under your belt, could you be the next head of the Stafford family?”
“Calista, would you be interested in an interview for In Focus? The public has always been quite intrigued by you.”
Calista was just surrounded when two men behind her swiftly escorted her through the crowd, guiding her to a car not far away. It was clear they were some sort of bodyguards. However, upon seeing the car’s emblem, the reporters hesitated to go after her. After all, this was the car of the head of the Fairchild family. No one would dare to stay in its way.
This goddaughter of the Fairchild family was indeed well–protected. Any reporter who managed to snap a photo and tried to fabricate stories would receive a stern warning from the Fairchild family, forcing them to erase the photo. As a result, since Calista became famous, there hadn’t been a single piece of negative nour shout her Namellu no one dared to be the first to heark this trend

Calista was somewhat puzzled. “Why go to Havenrock Villa? Can’t we celebrate at Fairchild Manor?”
Quintus certainly couldn’t admit that Fairchild Manor was teeming with people and that Kallum had long desired to have some private time with Calista alone.
Hence, he answered earnestly. “Mr. Kallum mentioned that the new medicine has been launched, but the specific response is still uncertain, so it’s not appropriate to make a big deal out of something. He wants to celebrate with you privately for now.”
When Calista heard his organized explanation, she didn’t probe any further. However, she did murmur to herself. “With his health in such a terrible state, why is he still running around? Ugh…”
