Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 6 How To Live With Enemies His large frcclose and his deep-set eyes were filled with distrust, his rage suffocating her.

Every the was angry, even his father didn't want to argue with him. In her previous life, Calista was even more fearful than his father, but now she was not afraid at all.

"At that tyou made sure nobody knew that you slept within order to spite me, so only both of us know this happened. Just now they were trying to rape me, and these bruises are from trying to resist them, but they didn't manage to do anything to me. If you don't believe me, you can check!" Kallum thought he heard wrongly. The calmer Calista was, the angrier he became.

"The extent you would go in order to makesleep with you! So that's what you meant by inspecting your body? DREAM! ON!" He let go of Calista and opened the door to leave, but Calista offered in a distant voice, "Didn't you want to call off the engagement all this time? As long as you say that I wasn't defiled, I'll call off the engagement first thing tomorrow." Kallum stopped in his tracks and snorted.

"The moment I walk back downstairs and tell everyone your body is full of love bites, your reputation will hit rock bottom, and this d*mned engagement will be considered invalid." He had no intention of doing so, however - insulting a woman was beneath him. But when he saw how Calista was determined to cut ties with him, and even blackmailed him with this engagement, he didn't want to lose this fight! But Calista took his word for it, and said boldly, "Fine, then everybody will know that I cheated on you with not just one, but two men! It'll make a good show!" Upon hearing these words, Kallum spun around violently, his steely gaze enough to swallow her whole! Calista knew that this would not be a threat to him since she wasn't officially married to him yet.

So after these words she suddenly closed her mouth, and her straight back somehow looked slightly weak in the light.

"Look...we grew up together, and I've already offered to back out of this engagement, won't you helpthis once? You don't have to lie because I'm innocent in the first place, and if you don't believethen you can check! If you don't check then I'll take it that you believe me! Unless you insist on ruining the reputation of this woman who once loved you so deeply?" She bet everything on Kallum having a tiny bit of kindness towards her, and she looked so pitiful now! She knew that as long as she could make it past the night and keep her reputation, she would be able to face a brand-new future ahead, so she was willing to compromise anything.

Strangely enough, while Kallum was originally waiting for Calista to surrender and admit defeat, when she really did so, Kallum didn't feel any joy from it.

Especially as Calista stood there with her body covered with wounds, her thick fringe covering her eyes, and she did look very pitiful...

Wait, what? He actually felt pity for this woman? After several moments, she heard his angry voice shouting, "Get out!" Kallum marched out of the room and headed downstairs. The moment he appeared, he caught the attention of the crowd once again.

Seeing the nasty look on his face made Quincy look forward even more to what he was about to say.

Mr. Kallum's words carried great power and influence! He was born into a family of high standing and could not possibly lie for someone he hated so much! Wanda looked at him with hope in her eyes, hoping that her son saw the text message she just sent.

""How is it?" Her voice trembled - this would affect the rest of this young lady's life! Kallum was annoyed just seeing these people, so he icily declared, "She's fine, you don't have to worry anymore!" With that, he turned to go upstairs, not caring what reaction the crowd had.

Calista had put her clothes back on and was standing at the top of the stairs. Kallum brushed past her, staring straight ahead with a steely gaze and a frigid expression. "How is it possible?" Quincy blurted out loudly.

Everybody turned to look at her, and even Benedict looked at her questioningly. She suddenly remembered where she was, and whose words she was doubting now.

She quickly covered her mouth, then awkwardly laughed and said, "I mean, I mean how is it possible that my sister was raped...it's a misunderstanding after all!" Even though that was what she said, her earlier outburst made everyone present think twice about the younger Shang daughter - the guests could tell she was no simple person, and there was probably more to this than meets the eye, but they were probably not going to be privy to further details. Calista walked down one step at a time, her expression calm, and nobody could tell if anything was wrong. She walked right up to Wanda's side, and looked a little worriedly at her, then finally broke into a smile.

"Mrs. Fairchild, since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I'll make a move first. After all, it seems like Mr. Kallum is not happy to see me." Her words affirmed the fact that Kallum disliked her.

The suspense and doubts in the guests' hearts were now replaced with disappointment that they couldn't continue watching this show.

Wanda took Calista's hands in hers and said, "Don't worry, I will make sure that you don't get unfairly treated!" Calista nodded, then shot a cold stare at Benedict. "Dad, let's go home." Benedict was suddenly awoken from his stupor, stammering as he said, "Ah? Oh yes, yes! Let's go home!" To this, Yelena and Quincy did not say anything, and just followed Benedict out of the door.

Before letting them leave, Wanda insisted that Calista at least wash up and get a fresh change of clothes first - she was genuinely kind to Calista.

Benedict's mind was in a whirlwind from everything that had just happened. But at the sthe was not stupid - he knew things were not so simple.

He saw that both his wife and his younger daughter had nasty expressions on their faces, and wondered why they weren't happy that the elder daughter was fine after all.

The car had barely left the Fairchild Manor when Yelena started getting angry.

She turned around to glare at Calista.

"Callie! What's wrong with you tonight? Coming in looking like a mess and creating a scene, what an embarrassment!"

If not for Benedict's presence, she would have said even nastier things. She and Quincy had revealed a little of their ugly side in front of Benedict today, and she had to push the blentirely on Calista to salvage this situation. Yelena's fierce expression made Calista stop breathing for a moment. She had grown up being subject to Yelena's moods, and her first instinct was to shrink back in fear when Yelena becangry. She used to be like that - her stepmother was like a large mountain pressing on her.

But now that fear was quickly overtaken by excitement! What could be more satisfying than tearing fear to pieces with her own hands?

Seeing that Calista had gone back to being her quiet self, Quincy quickly ме took the chance to cry out piteously, "Calfie, was trying to help you, and perhaps I didn't phrase it well, but you...how could you talk aboutlike that in front of other people..."

When Benedict saw his younger daughter cry, his heart softened, and felt that Callie had gone too far - tonight - from the start her words attacked Nouincy, she had been unnecessarily sarcastic to his wife, and then she admitted that she had slept with Kallum in front of so many people. Even though they were engaged from a long tago, it was still a shameful thing to say in public. When Yelena saw Benedict frown, she knew he was feeling upset, so she pretended to push him in anger.
