Chapter 21 Mistake Kindness for Weakness
Into the living room of Frost Manor stepped Calista, Olivia in
tow.
On the sofa sat Stephanie and Alice Frost, Killian’s older sister, who was patting Stephanie’s back to calm her frayed
nerves.
At the sight of the newcomers, disapproval twisted Alice’s
features, and she lashed out without hesitation.
“Olivia, get over here and apologize! Don’t you know the
award ceremony video’s gone viral? Your grandma was so enraged she nearly fainted!”
Calista pulled Olivia behind her, defenses up. “She did nothing wrong. Why should she apologize?”
Rising to her feet, Alice sized Calista up with a sideways
glare.
“Calista, Killian works himself to the bone to provide for this family. He’s supported you for years. What more could you want? Are you really willing to throw your husband hd son:38

how to respect his wife.”
Alice scoffed, circling Calista slowly.
“So it’s just jealousy, then. Men are all the same. Turn a blind
eye, and it’ll blow over. To be honest, you’re past your prime and out of shape; you can’t compete with young girls. Forget
about divorce and start fixing this mess.”
As a fellow woman, she thought she was doing Calista a
favor with her candor.
Who else would tell her the truth?
Everyone else was just waiting for Calista to step down so they could pounce on the title of Mrs. Frost.
Straightening her back, Calista smiled faintly, “I hear your husband has been traveling nonstop lately. I hope you never have to endure what I’m going through.”
“You!” Alice’s cheeks jiggled with anger as she rolled her
eyes.
She was the beloved sister of the Frost Group’s CEO. With a powerful family backing her, her husband would never dare Zheat!

“Amanda, you’re just in time. Talk some sense into her,” Alice
said.
Soft-spoken by nature, Amanda opened her mouth but had no idea what to say.
Gregory plopped down next to Stephanie, ordering Calista around like a servant, “Calista, make me a coffee. Yours is
always my favorite.”
These little tests of obedience were everywhere.
Once, for the sake of her husband and children, Calista had
let such trivialities slide.
However, her gentle nature had led them all to mistake
kindness for weakness.
Calista stood her ground, shedding her usual docile
demeanor.
Calm and collected, she fixed her gaze on Gregory.
“Gregory, Killian has secretly given you 36.7 million dollars,
R5 properties, and a Ferrari sports car over the years.”
