Her Vengeful Rebirth by Anastasia novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3 Seeing Her Enemies Again

If the old Calista heard that she was making the Fairchilds unhappy, she would have chosen to remain

silent.

But now she knew that if she did not explain herself in front of everyone right now, who knew what terrible rumors would spread tomorrow!

Calista looked at the guests and laughed hollowly even though she could feel her body weakening.

“I’m upset too! The Fairchild family is having a party and yet someone is trying to murder me! I’ve just narrowly escaped death, but you’re accusing me of debauchery. Such care and concern you have for me, my lovely sister!”

Quincy was unable to respond to this. The word ‘murder’ sent another uproar through the guests.

They were all people of high status and feared for their lives too. If not for the fact they trusted the Fairchilds and were bound by social rules, they would have started running in a panic by now!

Benedict finally came back to his senses and rushed over to Calista, “What? Someone wants to kill you? Who?”

The elegantly dressed lady beside him merely frowned while taking a step forward and smiled, “Benedict, don’t listen to Callie babble on. She must have just gone out to have fun. This is not some lawless country and we’re in the Fairchilds house – who is so daring as to attempt to murder here?”

What she really meant to say was that Calista had gone out to have so much fun, she ended up looking like this, and then simply said someone was trying to kill her to cover

Cover up.

The moment she started speaking, Calista turned her gaze to Yelena Langley, her stepmother.

How lovely…we meet again.

Yelena froze in shock when she saw the way Calista looked at her and stopped herself from saying more slanderous words. She was shocked – Calista was normally a very timid child, why does she look so frightening now?

“Mom, be careful of what you say. Today is a happy day for my fiancé’s family. Are you trying to make things difficult for the Fairchilds by slandering me?” Upon hearing the phrase ‘make things difficult for the Fairchilds’, Yelena panicked and quickly replied, “What are you going on about? I am merely concerned about you! I’m so afraid that you’re only interested in having fun and end up embarrassing the Fairchilds! Look at what you look like now! Who knows what you’ve been up to again!”

Only heaven knew that Calista had grown up under the tight rein of her stepmother, and her stepmother’s cruelty to her had traumatized her psychologically. And so even after she had grown up and became more capable, she still did not dare to go against her stepmother, her personality growing more and more timid, allowing anybody to step all over her. But now she actually managed to cheat death why should she still be afraid?

“Thank you for your concern.”

Calista looked back down at herself and laughed bitterly.

She was standing all wet and dirty in the cold of early spring, yet their first show of concern was to malign her.

“So this is what concern looks like huh – you’re not worried about why I look like this, instead you twist the truth about me being chased down by a murderer, and you even join my sister in slandering me.. Your sort of concern makes me really frightened.”

Her words left no room for mercy, and each word slowly drained the color from Yelena and Quincy’s faces.

“You little ingrate! What nonsense are you spouting!”

Yelena glared back at Calista and couldn’t contain her true self.

Quincy panicked and shouted in time, “Mom!”
