Chapter 253 I Will Still Be Your Enemy "I made myself clear during the divorce! Calista, are you purposely trying to humiliatehere?" Calista glanced at her. At that moment, her, Yelena, Harvey, along with Quincy and Owen, found themselves in a tense standoff. Everyone could feel the palpable tension between them! With a smile, Calista replied, "But I've heard a different version of Quincy's background too." Those words took Harvey and Yelena by surprise.
Harvey cast a warning glance at Yelena, but all he saw was her tear-streaked face looking back at him, as if to say she hadn't told anyone about what happened years ago. There was no way her father, Matthew, would spread such a matter around either.
Calista keenly observed their expressions, and with a casual, storytelling tone, she revealed an incident that was enough to utterly embarrass them.

However, she was a woman unwilling to settle for mediocrity, always striving for a better life. Coincidentally, Matthew saw an opportunity to use his daughter for his own ends. Thus, through Matthew's machinations, Yelena found herself one day in a nightclub called Vortex Lounge-." ""Enough! You! You're talking nonsense!" Before Calista could finish, Yelena suddenly leapt up from the ground, screaming. She was on the verge of losing her mind. At that moment, she didn't care about confronting Harvey. Instead, she rushed over, seemingly wanting to silence Calista! But as soon as she approached, she was restrained by Derek. Harvey also regained his senses, and his bodyguards hurried forward to intervene. However, Levi and his men stepped in first, blocking them. Due to the mistake in Corleon previously, Kallum had demoted them. It was thanks to Calista's plea that they were not reduced to third rank. Therefore, now Levi and his men all regarded Calista as their leader! The atmosphere was thick with tension, like two drawn swords ready to clash at any moment. The group of reporters found themselves caught in the middle, feeling somewhat trapped and unsure of how to proceed as the current atmosphere seemed a bit ominous. "What's the rush? I haven't finished speaking yet." Calista chuckled lightly, casting a glance at the desperately struggling Yelena, who had been gagged.
"I haven't even mentioned how you tried to seduce Mr. Loden, only to be led away by Mr. Hadley into a private room. Nor have I spoken of how you were toyed with by a group of men, and that's not all..." "Enough! Calista, do you really have to be so ruthless? Will you not stop till one of us is dead?" Harvey roared, effectively cutting off Calista's words. If he had let her continue, he would have lost all dignity! If Calista were to continue speaking, there would be no end to this matter.
Calista took a step forward, moving ahead of the men who were guarding her. In stark contrast to Harvey's fury, she was incredibly composed. Her captivating eyes seemed as if they could draw people in and shatter them, emanating an increasingly intense aura of menace.
"Until one of us is dead? You've got it wrong. I'm not looking to have a fight to the death with you; we've already been in that situation for a while now! If you don't kill me, kill you. Even without the support of the Fairchild family, I'd still be your enemy until I've killed you.
Calista's words made Harvey's pupils constrict.
The reporters grew increasingly uneasy. This was no longer a matter of idle gossip; it had escalated to a matter of life and death! Why was this woman so brave? She had fearlessly declared war against the Wolford family, and under her own nat that! Was she not afraid of death? Harvey's heart sank bit by bit, his gaze gradually turning fierce and bloodthirsty. Since Calista was determined to sever all ties, he had no choice but to strike first. With just one glance from him, all the bodyguards behind him drew their guns! Upon witnessing the scene, the reporters let out a series of shocked exclamations. Many people turned to run, but Harvey's men fired several warning shots. Harvey himself bellowed, "No one is allowed to leave!" He had initially despised these reporters, but now, he suddenly didn't want them to leave.
The moment Harvey drew his gun, the people behind Calista did the sin unison. On the bridge over the sea, amidst the chilling wind and drizzling rain, the barrels of their guns faced each other, escalating the situation to a full-blown standoff! The reporters all hunkered down, clutching their heads. At this point,
any news or story had long since gone out the window. Yet, they didn't dare to flee after witnessing Harvey's menacing demeanor forbidding them from leaving. They were like sitting ducks, too afraid to make a move.

Harvey pointed his gun at the reporters, a malicious grin spread across his face. "Calista, given how things have escalated today, I'm not afraid of you anymore! If I were to kill a few of these reporters here, who do you think people would cafter,or Kallum? After all, he's the one who left these people here!"
Calista was surrounded and targeted by countless guns, yet also shielded by them. Her expression didn't m change in the slightest. "Trying to stir up trouble to the point where it's not something I can handle, are you? Too bad, I'm afraid things won't go as you wish." With a wave of her hand, Calista signaled to the police officers behind Harvey, who then simultaneously raised their guns.
"Don't move!" It was only then that Harvey remembered the presence of the police. He was caught in a pincer attack, with neither numerical nor positional advantage.
"You all..." Harvey's dark gaze swept over the people behind him. He hadn't expected that these police officers would actually listen to Calista.
"Mr. Wolford, I implore you to put down the gun. We're in our homeland, not spersonal fiefdom. Are you really intending to challenge the authority of the state single-handedly?"
