Second Chance His Unending Love (Calista Hartwell) novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107

The man I dismissed as a pretty boy is actually the sole heir of the wealthiest family, the powerful magnate

Evander!

Fiona watched the shifting expressions on Killian’s face, raised an eyebrow, and said with a smile, “Isn’t the reason you’re dating me precisely because the Sullivan family and the Hayes family are related, so you can use that to climb up to Evander? Well, my cousin is right here. Why don’t you speak up now?”

Fiona was unaware of the finer details of the situation.

Her unintentionally revealed truth only made Killian feel even more mortified.

Calista and Evander exchanged a glance, finally understanding why Killian was here and why he was being so patient with Fiona.

Killian’s clenched fists were almost digging holes into his own palms.

identity, but it was only for a fleeting moment.

Because he simply couldn’t fathom why a man like

Evander, born with a silver spoon, would be interested in Calista.

It was this single point that made him miss the truth, time and again.

“Evander, Calista, Olivia, let’s head inside first.”

Fiona led the way, ushering the three of them away.

Only after they had gone did Austin withdraw his sullen gaze and tug at Killian’s sleeve.

“Dad, what on earth is going on? Why isn’t that woman you called ‘my stepmom’ even looking at us?”

Even though Killian didn’t want to accept this reality, he

had no choice but to force himself to in his shock.

He patted Austin’s shoulder and let out a somewhat despairing sigh.

“Austin, the Frost family… might be finished.”

With Calista standing between us, Fiona definitely won’t

marry me now.

The cooperation with Bradley will also completely end next quarter.

Not only will the Hayes family be of no use to me, but they might even turn against me because of Calista.

Twenty years of the Frost family’s accumulation will likely be destroyed by Calista’s hand.

Austin had never seen his father look so defeated. The man who stood like a mountain seemed to have his backbone suddenly ripped out, collapsing in on himself.

He stared at the retreating figures, his gaze growing

increasingly gloomy.

Fiona led Evander and the others to a separate reception

room.

Inside the room, the two couples were still chatting.

When they entered, Kristen and Byron were momentarily

stunned.

“Calista?”

Calista was also taken aback. She knew Kristen and

Byron.

She hadn’t seen the couple since her marriage.

She felt too ashamed to see them and no longer had the standing or right to.

This meeting was purely coincidental.

“Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, how have you been?”

Kristen opened her mouth, but a thousand words turned into a choked sob, and she simply nodded.

After Calista greeted them, she then had Olivia present the chosen The Heron by the Lake to Serena.

“Madam Sullivan, I’ve prepared a humble gift for you. Happy Birthday.”

Calista had guessed who the birthday celebrant was

tonight.

Olivia promptly handed it over.

Serena accepted the scroll in a daze.

“Fiona, aren’t you going to introduce everyone for us?”

Fiona smiled with pursed lips, “Better let Evander do the introductions.”

Evander, still with his usual cool and detached demeanor, greeted the elders, placed his hands on Calista’s

shoulders, and introduced formally, “Dad, Mom, Aunt, Uncle, this is Calista, a very important friend of mine, and this is her daughter, Olivia.”

The four of them had never seen Evander act so

intimately with a woman before, and he had even specifically emphasized “very important.”

They clearly sensed that if circumstances allowed,

Evander would have announced “this is my girlfriend” on the spot.

Fiona asked curiously, “Uncle, Aunt, you know Calista?”

Byron explained, “Calista was originally the

daughter-in-law we had our hearts set on…”

“So Calista is the one who ran away from being Evander’s arranged marriage partner?”

Calista turned her face away in shame.

Evander immediately scolded Fiona, “Don’t speak carelessly! That’s rude.”

Fiona quickly covered her mouth. “I’m sorry, Calista, don’t blame me! I was just too shocked! So after going around in circles, you two are still the most suitable for

each other!”

With things said to this extent, Kristen and Byron naturally understood their son’s feelings now.

The one in his heart has always been Calista, hasn’t it!

No wonder this kid suddenly ‘got it.’ It’s not that he decided he wanted to get married. It’s because Calista got
