Her Rebirth of Retribution -
Chapter 42 The Scheming Mother And Daughter
He had hoped to see some hesitation and unwillingness in Calista's eyes when he said that.
"I will not regret it. As long as you remember our deal," replied Calista coldly as she stared at him.
Her words made Kallum turn pale and red at the same time - this was the biggest humiliation he had ever suffered all his life! So after he had done all these stupid things for her thinking she still carried a torch for him, she actually really didn't like him anymore. "Calista! You're really good at this! You want to be the Fairchilds' goddaughter? Fine! I'll fulfil this wish of yours!"
Kallum flung the door open and walked out, his fury enough to burn the whole building down.
Calista was confused by his reaction because she was very sure that her body was merely reacting as part of a normal biological process. Now that she had a second chance at life, she wasn't going to waste any time on Kallum, not a single second. When she thought about all the other important things she had to do, Calista quickly got changed and headed back to the Stafford residence. There was a good show coming up, and she hoped Jonathan wouldn't let her down. When she reached the door, Calista could hear her father shouting in anger. With a little smile on her face, she walked in to replace the usually snobbish Yelena kneeling on the floor and crying as she held onto Benedict's leg. "Benedict! It's not what you're thinking, I...I...I must have been drugged! I don't know who that man is, I don't know anything!"
Benedict kicked her aside, but Quincy came running at him and cried, "Daddy! Daddy, you must believe Mummy! Why would Mummy betray you? Someone must have drugged Mummy!"
Benedict laughed coldly. "Drugged? Who would have drugged her in this house? I didn't catch that guy, but it doesn't mean you can take me as a fool!"
Benedict angrily turned and went upstairs. Yelena was still crying when she spotted Calista and her expression became threatening.
"Was it you? It must have been you! Only you hate me so much you would drug me! You little despicable woman! I've underestimated you! You're doing such despicable things at such a young age!"
Calista smiled. Looks like Jonathan was pretty obedient. The first thing she had told him to do was to let her father replace out that Yelena was having an affair, but she didn't expect him to do such a perfect job of it - he was definitely great at plotting against others. "What are you smiling about!" Yelena asked furiously. The more she thought about it the more suspicious she became of Calista. She couldn't have been so desperate for sex in her own house and dragged Jonathan into bed, so she must have fallen into some trap laid by Calista!
Calista shook her head and laughed, "If you always walk outside late at night, you'd eventually run into a ghost, Mrs. Stafford. You're a real cougar, but it's better to control yourself at home."
"You idiot girl! Shut your mouth!"
Yelena made a pounce for Calista like a madwoman upon hearing these words, but Quincy held onto her. She threw her mother a look to tell her not to do anything stupid now, and not to forget their plan!
Quincy stood in front of Yelena and asked angrily, "Callie! You've gone too far! Mummy has been falsely accused and you still mock her!"
Calista was about to respond when Benedict walked out and shouted, "Yelena, who allowed you to scream and shout like this? Get out of the house! I don't want to see you ever again!"
Yelena's face paled and didn't dare to continue quarreling with Calista. She quickly ran upstairs to seek forgiveness from Benedict - she couldn't afford to be chased out now.
After Yelena had gone upstairs, Quincy didn't let Calista go. Instead she approached Calista angrily and quietly said, "Callie, this is your doing, right? You're so good at mixing medicines, and it's not as if you've never made an aphrodisiac before. You don't have the guts to admit your crime?"
Calista was smiling at first, but suddenly her expression changed and she caught one important word.
"An aphrodisiac? How did you know I've made an aphrodisiac before?"
She had never told anyone else that Mirabelle asked her to make such a drug before.
Quincy's face paled and she tried to avoid the question, but Calista stepped forward and glared at Quincy dangerously. Calista couldn't believe this.
"So you were in cahoots with Mirabelle from such an early stage!"
Then she and Mirabelle watched together as she was misunderstood by Kallum, and Quincy must have been elated to watch her get labeled as a shameless woman by Kallum, right?
The more she understood what was happening, the more she hated Quincy!
She felt that Quincy needed a psychiatrist too. Otherwise, how could a normal seventeen year old girl do such evil things?
Quincy was cornered and she started to panic. She didn't expect that Calista already knew the truth about how she had lost her virginity, and now that she thought about it, Calista must have become sharper with each day precisely because she already knew what they had done!
When she thought about it this way, Quincy was suddenly no longer afraid. Calista wasn't capable of doing much - so what if she found out about them? Kallum wouldn't believe her anyway!
The only unfortunate thing that
happened after that drugging incident was that Kallum was very quick to stop this news from spreading, so they didn't manage to destroy Calista's reputation back then. That was why she had to make a second attempt that night during the party at Fairchild Manor.

She looked up and said mockingly, "Calista, what are you shouting at me for? You were the one acting shamelessly - if you hadn't insisted on staying with Mr. Kallum after he had been drugged and chased everyone else out of the room, you think he would touch you? You've obviously gotten what you wanted but you're here pretending that you've been bullied - how thick skinned!"
Calista was so angry that she chortled. Her eyes looked like a black fog was taking over, and whoever looked into her eyes now would freeze over instantly.
"What I don't understand is, you like Kallum, and so does Mirabelle. How did you two manage to work together without being disgusted with each other?"
Quincy decided not to pretend anymore, and she replied with a cold laugh, "That's because such a useless idiot like you was engaged to Mr. Kallum! Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror and think about how unworthy you are!"
Quincy had become aggressive, and her eyes were full of deep hatred and anger!
Calista knew very well from her previous life how two faced Quincy was, but now she thought it laughable that she was driven to death by such a person.
She took a quick glance upstairs, and then purposely said something to spite Quincy, "I don't care how angry you are about it, but Kallum is mine."
Seeing that the anger had intensified in Quincy's eyes, Calista curled her lips slightly and looked down at her.
"Are you very angry and furious now? I just love the way you look when you try to kill me but can't - it just shows how useless you are."
"You! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
Quincy was finally agitated - recently nothing had gone her way, and her temper became worse and worse. And now that she watched this useless idiot suddenly gain the upper hand, she refused to let herself be bullied anymore and she couldn't wait to tear Calista apart! Quincy's screams made Benedict suddenly angry again!
Initially when he saw Yelena tearfully tell him how she had fallen into a trap, his heart was swayed. But once he heard Quincy scream and shout, he finally lost all hope in this family! And he lost all patience with Yelena!
"Enough! You said someone tried to harm you, who is it? Are you going to say it's Callie?"
Benedict pointed a finger outside as he said, "Callie has mental issues and you want to smear her? Can you see how spoilt Quincy is now? She's behaving like a madwoman now! Marrying you was the worst thing that could have happened to this family! If you don't leave now, I'm going to call someone to drag you out!"
