Chapter 263 He Might Feel The Sting
Another wealthy lady chuckled and said, “It must be soon. After all, they already have a child.”
With a mix of surprise and uncertainty, Hendrick looked at Calista, who appeared calm and composed despite the situation. He was taken aback by her serene demeanor.
That’s impossible! If Calista was in that kind of relationship with Kallum, thy would she be constantly monitored by him? Ihy would he even have her father under surveillance! Leaving other matters aside, let’s take tonight for instance. Il’hy did Kallum choose to play his tricks precisely at the moment when blood tests were being conducted in public? The only explanation is that Calista is lying! She has been manipulated by Kallum, and now she has no choice but to help him clear his name, hence the deliberate claim of her being pregnant!
After coming to a realization, Hendrick’s expression became serious, and he suddenly said, “You’re pregnant, Ms. Stafford? That sure was rather quick. As it happens, I brought a military doctor with me. How about you grant me a defeat that will leave me utterly convinced?”
Kallum had completely run out of patience with Hendrick. Now that the crisis was over, there was no need for further chatter. He looked at Hendrick with displeasure and said, “Are you done yet? Paul, escort Mr. Hendrick out!
Noticing that Kallum was ready to have a thorough falling out, Hendrick had to leave this matter unresolved unless he was truly confident enough to risk that.
Just as Hendrick remained hesitant, Calista suddenly pecked out from Kallum’s embrace.
“What could you offer me in return if I allowed you to examine me?”
Snapped back to reality, Hendrick hastily replied, “The five docks that Harvey gave me will be yours!”
After all, in a way, whether Calista was pregnant or not would show if Kallum had lied. Therefore, this news was indeed valuable.
Calista extended two fingers and said, “I’m aware of the five docks Harvey gifted you, located on the southern coast. Between those five docks, there are two docks which belong to the Murray family. If you agree to hand them over to me as well, I will allow you to conduct a blood test.”
After all, in the early stages of pregnancy, a blood test was the most convincing examination.
Hendrick hesitated for a moment. If he agreed, the entire southern coast would belong to the Fairchild family. However, his hesitation didn’t last long. Compared to Kallum, who casually bet all the maritime resources, Calista’s request could be considered rather mild.
Considering the many uncertainties surrounding the situation, he believed Calista was likely bluffing. As such, he gritted his teeth and said, “All right; I agree!”
Calista chuckled lightly and gently extended her hand. “Go ahead and draw my blood, but be careful. I’m afraid of pain.”
Her composed demeanor only increased Hendrick’s sense of unease. However, due to a shred of unwillingness in his heart, he still ordered the military doctor to draw her blood.
Although many guests no longer harbored any doubts about the matter, they still kept their eyes intently on Calista, eagerly awaiting the results of the blood test.

you satisfied now?” Kallum asked with a distinctly displeased expression. He was certain that Calista must have done something to get these results, but it didn’t matter at that point. Even if it was all an act his confidence was not diminished in the slightest.
Seemingly struggling to accept the outcome, Hendrick didn’t respond.
