Chapter 345 Eat The Money
Kallum’s smirk deepened as he addressed Calista, “This woman isn’t complying, how do you propose we handle her?”
Calista’s checks flushed with a surge of anger as she fixed her gaze on Yelena, her eyes blazing with intensity. “Why aren’t you eating? Listen, if you don’t start eating, I’ll ensure Quincy is killed in prison!”
“You wouldn’t dare!” Yelena exclaimed, her voice shaking with panic and disbelief.
Instinctively, Calista sought reassurance from Kallum. It felt like she was thirteen again, with Kallurn standing beside her as her steadfast pillar of support.
Encouraged by a firm nod from Kallum, her resolve hardened, her eyes narrowing. “Dare me if you want! Don’t forget, it was I who had her locked up!”
A wave of despair crashed over Yelena at those words. She shouted, defiant yet desperate, “Calista! I’m ready to fight you to the very end!”
“Bring it on! If you don’t manage to eat all this money before the Langley family gets here, Quincy will suffer the consequences in prison. Think I’m bluffing? Argue with me one more time, I dare you!”
The cold, murderous look in Calista’s eyes completely overwhelmed Yelena. She felt utterly powerless before her, as though her life hung by a thread that Calista could sever with a single word.
“Eat!” Calista commanded with chilling simplicity.
The room fell silent, and then, Yelena broke down, tears streaming down her face. “All right… I’ll eat, I’ll eat!”
In a frantic scramble, she began picking up the scattered money from the ground and stuffing it into her mouth. Calista, observing her, felt a mixture of satisfaction and relief. She might have stomped on the money first if she were more ruthless, but she refrained–just as she would never actually harm Quincy. Yet, witnessing Yelena kneeling and crying while eating the money, Calista felt a rush of vindication.
As they heard voices outside, Calista signaled to Kallum, her voice light. “Well, look at that. Everyone’s arriving now. Remember, you said you’d get me out of here. I really don’t want to bump into the Langleys.”
Kallum, with a slight smirk, replied casually, “I’ve always said, all you need to do is trust me. Once she’s finished eating, we’ll leave.”
Wait for me to finish eating?
A spark of resentment flickered in Yelena’s heart. She pretended to choke, secretly hoping that Kallum would get caught by the Langley family. After all, mistreating a helpless woman would surely tarnish the reputation of the Fairchilds.
Kallum, reading her intentions, scoffed, “It seems you really don’t care about Quincy’s wellbeing.”
Yelena was stunned. Could it be true that Calista had threatened her, implying harm would come to

At this juncture, Yelena had abandoned all hope of seeing Kallum and Calista caught. Instead, she found herself praying for the Langley family’s delayed arrival, fearing the consequences if they were apprehended.
But reality seemed to conspire against her. A commotion erupted outside, signaling that Joanna was encountering resistance and causing a scene. This prompted more members of the Langley family to get involved, their arrival imminent.
Subconsciously, Yelena hastened her actions, driven by urgency, while Kallum remained calm. Observing his composure, Calista felt reassured.
Seeing Yelena struggling to swallow the money quickly, Calista flashed Kallum a triumphant smile. “Your turn now! They’re almost here!”
As Calista extended her hand, Kallum took it with a grin. “All right. Let’s go!”
Before they departed, Kallum glanced sidelong at Yelena. “Remember, you didn’t see who was here. Say anything out of line, and your daughter pays the price.”
Ignoring Yelena’s pale, shocked face, he departed with Calista.
Just as they stepped outside, Hans‘ voice echoed angrily. “What’s going on? Why all the noise?”
Joanna’s exasperated voice followed, “Someone was blocking my way into Yelena’s room, but I heard a man’s voice from inside!”
“What?” Hans voice thundered as he hurried toward Yelena’s room.
Kallum and Calista were just leaving when they nearly collided with Hans. Just then, the hallway lights suddenly went out, plunging the corridor into darkness.
