Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 257 The Public Blood Test "I heard that Harvey was swearing in the hospital about not letting the Fairchild family off the hook, nor would he spare Calista. It's uncertain what he might do." "What else can he do? Even at the height of his power, he wasn't a match for the Fairchild family. Now... let's just say he's been cornered, and he's starting to act out of desperation!" They weren't the only ones discussing the affairs of the Wolford family, as others were also talking about it. After all, it was no small matter. Of course, another topic that had everyone buzzing with excitement was about Yelena and Quincy.

Wealthy people often lived life in the fast lane, but few were as extras Harvey. He treated the illegitimate daughter of a minor family as if she were a mere plaything, disregarding her humanity. Such man was met with disdain from many women. However, what shocked people even more was Yelena's actions. Many high-society ladies commented that if they were in Yelena's shoes, they would have ended their own life! To them, living like that was nothing short of a disgrace. Furthermore, those who were once close with Yelena now wished they had never known her. It was one thing for a woman to climb the social ladder as long as the unscrupulous methods she used remained unknown, but once they cto light, it would immediately becpublic knowledge in high society.

After the incident occurred, the reporters didn't go into detail, primarily out of respect for the Fairchild family and consideration for Benedict's reputation. However, the shocking secret revealed by Calista that day still caused a sensation throughout the entire city of Horington.

Yelena and Quincy were probably too embarrassed to show their faces in public again after that incident.

"He's here! Mr. Kallum has arrived!" It was unclear who had called out, but Silas and Wanda, went over to greet their son with a smile. They knew for certain that someone would be adamant in causing a fuss, so they had to brace themselves for it.

"Dad, Mom," Kallum casually greeted, then gave a slight nod toward the person next to them.

Many people cto congratulate Kallum. Seeing him still so spirited a month later and that he didn't look like a sick man at all, their expressions becsignificantly more genuine.

Once everyone had exchanged greetings, the visiting individuals, with smiles on their faces, approached while holding their drinks. Behind them, speople were jotting down notes in small notebooks. Using recording devices wasn't an option, so they had to resort to this traditional method of conducting interviews.

"Mr. Kallum, have you truly made a complete recovery?" asked a female reporter with a notably sharp face and a wide grin. "Pardon my frankness, but this is probably the question on everyone's mind tonight." Kallum had summoned them in order to quell the circulating rumors. Thus, he raised his chin slightly, responding with an air of arrogance.

"Of course, it's merely the K virus, hardly something to be afraid of." The other reporters broke into laughter. "Indeed, Mr. Kallum, you're no ordinary man, so you naturally have nothing to fear. But there are always sparticularly timid folks around. I wonder how you plan to silence these scaredy-cats?" Kallum raised an eyebrow and laughed brazenly. "Since everyone is so concerned, then let's just do a blood test. After all, I have nothing to fear." After he finished speaking, he didn't utter another word.

When word got out that Kallum was conducting a public blood test, many, in a show of loyalty, approached Silas sycophantically, assuring him there was no need for such a test. They all professed their faith in Callum and the Fairchild family. Regardless of what they had to say, conducting the blood test was inevitable. After all, they had been prepared for it.

Kallum didn't waste any time. Once everyone had gathered, he slowly made his way to the platform in front of the spiral staircase. Looking down at the crowd below, he broke into his usual dismissive smile. From the look in his eyes, an air of arrogance was evident.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he went straight to the point.

"I'm aware that everyone chere with a single purpose in mind- to find out if I, Kallum, am still alive." He scoffed, "I'm afraid smight be disappointed to learn that I'm doing quite well. Moreover, the K virus that everyone fears is nothing more than a mere trifle to me." Despite the smiles on everyone's faces, no one knew what they were truly thinking.

Kallum changed the topic. "However, to ease speople's worries and to prevent any annoying rumors from spreading, I will publicly undergo a blood test today. I hope that from this day forward, the matter of the K virus will be completely resolved." No sooner had he finished speaking than someone brought over a bowl, half-filled with water. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Calista used a syringe to collect a few drops of blood from Kallum. She then dripped the blood into the water, before pulling out an object that resembled a pen.

"I'm sure everyone is familiar with the infectious disease detector. All it takes is to dip its tip into a blood sample, and it can diagnose whether the blood contains any infectious viruses." Everyone knew about the infectious disease detector. Besides the K-virus, there were many other contagious diseases in everyday life. Hence, most households would keep such a device at home. If the device lit up red, it indicated that the blood was infectious. If it lit up green, then the blood was normal.

Seeing that everyone had understood, Calista said seriously, "Now, please make sure you understand the test results in the Ve future, we don't want to hear any speculation about the K virus." With that, everyone's gaze was fixed on Calista's hand. They watched as she dipped the tip of the test kit into the bowl. As expected, the test kit lit up with a green light.

Upon witnessing the scene, Calista silently breathed a sigh of relief, .om Noticing the various expressions of the quests below, she asked with a smile, "Now, does anyone still have any doubts?"
