Chapter 246 Incredibly Foolish.
Calista’s smile was somewhat frosty. “It’s because they could return to Harvey’s side and because he is wealthier and more influential than you. It’s as simple as that.”
Benedict thought about Yelena’s character, and it was evident that she was indeed competitive. Perhaps, just as Callie had suggested, it was Harvey who had previously rejected her. Since Harvey showed interest, Yelena naturally sought to rise to the occasion.
What about Quincy? Benedict’s gaze was filled with complexity. Even though Quincy was not his biological daughter, she was the girl he had favored for over a decade. The one at fault was Yelena, so it was difficult for him to sever his feelings for Quincy in a short span of time.
Thus, he asked a question that, in Calista’s view, was incredibly foolish. “Do you think… Will Quincy come back?”
Finally, Calista couldn’t help but laugh.
Her laughter was chilling, her gaze gradually sharpening.
Observing Benedict, who was deeply tormented and utterly disoriented, she asked slowly, “Are you serious?”
Cupping a cup
in her hands that she hadn’t taken a single sip from, she inquired in a slow, surprised tone, “Do you get a kick out of raising someone else’s child? Is that why you want to continue?”
Though Calista hadn’t uttered a single harsh word, her voice and demeanor exuded an air of ridicule, which finally brought Benedict to his senses and left him a bit shaken with retrospective fear. What have I just said? I can’t believe I have the audacity to say such things in front of Callie.
Calista stared at him coldly. Outside, the sun shone brightly, but inside the room, it felt as if ice had enveloped everything.
“Now, I finally understand why Grandma and Grandpa chose to live in the mountains rather than face you.” Calista sneered, “Both of them were dominant throughout their lives, and that’s probably why your ended up being so weak. Their biggest mistake in life was raising you to be too naive, and by the time they realized it, it was already too late. You know, I really pity you. Would you dare to repeat those words at their graves?”
Benedict paled as he stared at her, dumbfounded. Isn’t it human nature to feel this way? I’d feel attached even if I was raising a dog, much less a daughter I thought was mine for years. How could I just let go so easily?
It seemed as if Calista understood Benedict’s thoughts and sneered, “If you’d put a little more thought into it, you’d realize what your standing is in Quincy’s heart. Yes, she’s very obedient in front of you, and you like that. However, have you considered this? If Yelena knew from the start whose child Quincy was, and she hadn’t initially planned to reurite Quincy with her biological family, why has she suddenly changed
her mind now?”
Benedict understood what Calista meant. His lips turned pale instantly.
Calista continued ruthlessly, “It’s because Quincy had discovered her true identity and realized she was the sole heiress of the Wolford family. She insisted that Yelena take her to reunite her with her true father. In

He closed his eyes, struggling to speak. “Humans are emotional creatures. I’m just having a hard time accepting it at first. You’re right. I was naive to think so highly of everyone. If I continue like this, it’ll be the death of me!”
