Her Vengeful Rebirth
Chapter 20 Exposing The Hypocrisy Of Her Stepmother
Now she knew she had gotten it wrong all this while, and Mirabelle was scheming beyond her imagination. She used such intelligent tactics – able to lie like this at a tender age of thirteen! She realized she was lagging far behind in this aspect.
The raindrops continued to fall, drenching her hair.
Her heart suddenly felt so cold it was only two nights and a day into her reborn life, and she had seen how evil people could be, and it was truly a tough situation to be in.
She lost to these schemers in her previous life because she was always a step too late. She was always too late to see these enemies’ true colors, and spent too much time on futile things.
Her love for Kallum, her affection for her father, her friendship with Mirabelle – they were all in futility.
But this time she wasn’t going to make the same mistakes. No matter how strong her enemies were, she was going to protect everything that belonged to her
She had dreams, she was still young, it wasn’t too late, it wasn’t…
But why did she feel so miserable?
Calista held her hand up to her chest and slowly squatted down on the ground.
Hatred, anger, such unnecessary suffering, such unfair defeat…she felt utterly miserable,
Suddenly a car stopped next to her and Wyatt hurried over to her. “Hello there, are you ok? It’s you?!”
His face grew worried, “Why are you still here? I thought you went back a long time ago?”
When she heard his voice, Calista slowly pulled herself out from those painfully suppresso and let Wyatt help her to the car.
She was all wet, so Wyatt found an extra shirt in the trunk and gave it to her to wear.
Calista was quiet and cooperative, like a beautiful marionette.
Finally they were set to go, and Wyatt said, “I’ll send you home.”
With that, he started driving toward the Shang house
Suddenly Calista realized she didn’t want to go back to the house, because earlier that day Quincy had. said that her father wasn’t coming home that night, and she would get no peace if she went back.
Wyatt shot her a quick glance and asked, “Are you ok
Calista didn’t reply, so he thought for a while and then awkwardly said, “About what happened this afternoon. I’d like to apologize. Those two men are indeed connected to Quincy, but I’m sure there’s some misunderstanding somewhere!”

Chapter 20 Exposing The Hypocrisy Of Her Stepmother
Carson’s case was not under his charge, so in the afternoon he interrogated Zane and Yael, and it turned out that he had really misunderstood Calista.
Calista snorted and turned her head towards Wyatt, “You don’t have to apologize. You’re not related to me, so how you view me or whether you’ve misunderstood me or not doesn’t matter to me.”
Wyatt frowned and looked a little deflated, and finally managed to squeeze out a response after a while, “Aunt Yelena married into your family, so that makes me your cousin. How can you say we’re not related?”
Calista laughed when she heard this.
She raised an eyebrow and glanced at him. Her features were even more exquisite in the dim light, and her eyes were cold and there was an evil glint in them
“Ok then my dear cousin, since I helped the police to catch a criminal, do I get any reward?”
Wyatt was mesmerized by her smile for a while, before replying in a flat voice, “Some cash and a medal.”
It wasn’t much cash, so this eldest daughter of the Staffords wouldn’t care for it, he thought, thinking she would say she wanted the medal.
“I want the cash.” Calista’s words shocked Wyatt.
