Chapter 14: Beating Her Face to a Pulp

At Kaitlynn’s urging, Lexie briefly recounted her

encounter with Grayson at the hospital, as well as the drama involving Callum and

Abbie.

Fortunately, Kaitlynn’s attention was diverted by

Callum and Abbie. “These

two are really nauseating! If it were me, I’d beat her face

to a pulp!”

“Hopefully, this time she’ll learn from her mistakes,”

Lexie said, her eyes turning icy.

She didn’t plan on wasting much time and energy on

Abbie. However, if Abbie

didn’t take her words

seriously, Lexie wouldn’t

mind teaching her another

lesson.

She was never a good girl.

Kaitlynn nodded in

agreement, “But letting

Callum off the hook like this

is hard to swallow!”

“So?” Lexie looked at her

curiously.

“I’m pulling out my investment!” Kaitlynn

casually stated, “I only invest in the Wallace Group

because of you. Since they

turned their backs on us,

why should I play the game by the rule?”

“At least you should have

discussed it with me before

making such a decision,”

Lexie said, “The West Bay

project has potential for growth. Suddenly

withdrawing your

investment means losing

tens of millions! It’s your

money! Girl!”

Feigning a heartbroken expression, Kaitlynn ran to

Lexie, “Tens of millions,

darling! My heart is

bleeding. You better

compensate me well.”

“Why should I compensate you? It’s you who didn’t talk

to me…”

While laughter echoed on

one side, Callum wore a

serious expression in his

office.

The West Bay project was the Wallace Group’s major endeavor in recent years, and few in the company had supported it initially.

To push the project forward, Callum had faced numerous

challenges, engaging in

social events to attract

investments. Now, at a

critical point in the project, withdrawal of funds was a

fatal blow.

“I don’t care how you make

it, just make sure to contact the Lara family as quickly as possible!” Callum’s voice .

carried a hint of icy resolve.

The assistant on the other

end of the phone responded, “Yes, Mr. Wallace.”

After hanging up, Callum

took a deep breath and

returned to the hospital

ward.

Inside the room, Melina

sighed as she looked at the

wound on Abbie’s forehead.

“She’s truly a rude,

uneducated country girl, unable to change her rough and barbaric nature. Luckily, Callum broke up with her. If

she married into our Wallace

family, who knows how

many scandals she would

have caused!”

Callum overheard his

mother’s words and

furrowed his brows slightly.

Abbie noticed Callum’s

expression and, with a

pitiable look, said, “No, this is my fault. I shouldn’t have appeared at this time,

causing misunderstandings

between you and Lexie. I

shouldn’t have affected their

relationship…”

“It’s not your concern,”

Callum interrupted her,

taking an apple being peeled by his mother. He explained calmly, “The wedding was a

deal based on mutual

benefits. Even without your

presence, it wouldn’t have lasted long.”

“With her background, she’s not worthy of the Wallace family. It’s just that Callum is

kind-hearted and couldn’t

bear to refuse her,

succumbing to her persistent pursuit,” Melina spoke of Lexie with evident disgust.

From the start, she had

disapproved of Callum

marrying Lexie, but Callum

seemed determined, and she

became the subject of gossip

among the elite circles for a

while.

Abbie, with drooping eyes and a tearful appearance, like a battered white flower,

evoked sympathy, “When my dad got wrongly accused, worried I’d get caught up, he shipped me off overseas overnight. I didn’t realize was messing with Callum’s true feelings and indirectly hurting Lexie. I owe Callum big, but I just couldn’t quit my feelings for him after all

these years…”
