Chapter 29 The Secret Of The Voice Recorder
At these words, Calista smiled demurely and put down the teapot.
Just two seconds earlier everyone thought Calista was going to smash the teapot on Jonathan’s head, and Jonathan was relieved to see her put the teapot down.
“You’ve passed the test. Dr. Larkin. I’ll be a good patient, and I believe you will have wonderful memories of your time with the Stafords!”
Calista finished with a smile and went upstairs. Since this person was here, then…well there was plenty of time to deal with him.
She checked her bank balance and realized that Jarrett had acted pretty quickly, and there was really $1.2 million dollars in the bank! This was a huge amount of money to her now!
Even though she would get fame and fortune after becoming the Fairchilds‘ goddaughter, she always remembered that Kallum still did not like seeing her around, so she had to show some accomplishments first before getting his support, and only then could she get back at her enemies.
So she’d have to spend this $1.2 million carefully.
But there was something else that was more urgent to settle now!
She picked up her phone and called Wanda.
After picking up Calista’s call, Wanda was pleasantly surprised. She didn’t sound like she knew that the two scoundrels arrested that night were instigated by Quincy, otherwise she wouldn’t still be this calm and gentle. It was obvious that Wyatt had used his authority to cover up this matter so as to keep the reputations of both the Lin family and Quincy.
Calista smiled and just threw the matter to the back of her mind. She didn’t intend to use what happened that night to confront Quincy. After all once the truth of the matter was revealed, all people cared about was whether that night’s plan had worked or not, and wouldn’t think about anything else, so she decided to let Quincy off for the time being.
She had called Wanda over a different matter.
“Mrs. Fairchild, while running away from those bad guys, I dropped my phone in the compound of the annexe. Could you help me look for it? I have something very important inside.”
Wanda immediately agreed this was the first time Callie had asked anything of her!
Calista laughed and her tone was much gentler now. “I’ll come over now ok? It’s really important, sorry to trouble you!”
This small matter was no trouble at all!
Wanda immediately ordered the servants to go out and find it, and promised that she would have found it by the time Calista arrived.
Calista breathed a sigh of relief. Kallum should still be in the office, so she should be in time to find it before him.

recorder on her cell phone, forgetting that while there was indeed a recording of Mirabelle asking her to make an aphrodisiac, there were many other recordings
When she thought about these other recordings, she became perplexed and ran out of the door.
Over at Fairchild Manor, at the time Wanda had ordered the servants to find the phone, the butler had already passed the inconspicuous voice recorder to Kallum, who had just arrived home.
Kallum had come back early just for this voice recorder, Calista said that she wasn’t the one who drugged him, and Mirabelle had approached her to make an aphrodisiac, so he had to at least confirm that part.
But before he could listen to anything, he heard that Calista had arrived.
When Calista realized what was in Kallum’s hands, she felt that she was about to explode.
Her sparkling eyes grew wider, then she immediately calmed down. “Mr. Kallum, that’s mine, please return it to me.”
Kallum saw that Calista had run all the way to the Fairchild Manor just for this small thing, and a cheeky smile spread over his perfectly handsome face.
Calista walked nearer to him, trying to catch her breath as she said, “There are some results of my research. over the years inside as well, and these are all confidential information. I was too rash yesterday and forgot about those. As for evidence, it’s just a short recording and can’t prove much.”
“That’s not necessarily true,” Kallum haughtily raised a brow. “Without this recording, there will be nothing stopping me from suspecting that you’re definitely the one who drugged me. You don’t want to prove your innocence anymore?”
Kallum saw that this was a rare show of her emotions, and taunted her, “Come and get it.”
Kallum instinctively caught her round her waist. “If you’re so anxious, then I’d think you have some dirty secrets inside. Or perhaps, something to do with me.”
