Her Rebirth of Retribution -
Chapter 63 Boiling Anger
Kallum glared straight at Calista, his upbringing not allowing him to scream and shout in public. He wanted to see if Calista was really bold enough to auction this ring off!
Calista was already mentally prepared for the excitement from the crowd. She wasn't worried that this ring would land in anybody else's hands - she just wanted to tell Kallum very clearly that she didn't want to marry him at all, not a single bit! So when she saw Kallum's angry expression, she suddenly smiled.
"Starting from 10 million!"
She had the guts!!
Before Kallum could said anything, a woman immediately called out, "1 billion!"
What an exciting auction it was! The bid price went from 10 million to 1 billion immediately!
But of course, a billion was nothing. Immediately someone else shouted, "2 billion!" and another "3 billion!" and the bids couldn't stop going up, the crowd's passion shooting through the roof.
Kallum couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly he pushed the small table in front of him to the floor.
"Let's see who the hell still dares to bid!!"
The loud sound of the table hitting the floor and the cutlery smashing to pieces silenced the hall.
Kallum gave up keeping up his aristocratic image and started shouting in public. He even loosened his tie and started walking towards the stage with large strides.
Kallum was really furious now! Everyone who was excited just moments earlier immediately became quiet. And when they heard Kallum's angry voice through chattering teeth, the crowd suddenly felt that this princely man was about to beat someone up! Kallum grew angrier with each step he took. He stared so hard at Calista, and his teeth were about to be chattered to pieces.
"Where did you replace the guts to do this?!"
He kicked the speaker that got in his way off the stage with one kick, his anger boiling over uncontrollably.
"What the hell do you take me for?!"
The entire crowd watched in fear and didn't make any sound. But Calista looked surprised that Kallum had made his way all the way up here.
She had thought that Kallum would quietly tolerate, be the one to win the bid on the ring, and then never have anything to do with her again.
She did guess that he would be angry since she was embarrassing him in front of so many people, but she wasn't sure what to do now that he had actually come right up to her and questioned her.
What happened to his pride? And gentlemanliness? Was he coming up to get stepped on by her some more?
Calista hadn't said a word but Kallum had reached out and pulled her right in front of his face. The host had made a run for it even before Kallum had reached the stage. After all, nobody had the guts to face Kallum's fury head on, besides Calista who didn't seem afraid to die! "Say it! What are you trying to do?"
Kallum drew closer to her and Calista felt like she was being set on fire from his fury. But she felt that this was not fair at all. What right did he have to be angry? When he hated her, she could only suffer quietly. Then when he liked her, she could only accept? He had a tight grip on her clothes, but Calista looked up and said defiantly, "Can't you see?
Her words were amplified by the speakers and nearly drove everyone mad.
There were some who were happy to see how defiant Calista was, because Kallum might just give the ring to someone else in a fit of anger! Besides, after being embarrassed so badly by this woman, it would only be normal of him to choose a new fiancée right in front of her.
After hearing Calista's calm response, Kallum was so angry that he couldn't say anything.
But when he saw Calista turn her head to tell the host to continue the auction, Kallum yelled, "I'll see who dares to continue!"
He glared straight at the host and articulated his words clearly, "To hell with charity auctions and tradition! If you dare to auction off this token, I'll make sure both your auction firm and Unity Trust close down!"
The host nearly knelt down when he was glared at by Kallum's bloodshot eyes.
He quickly waved his hands and said, "We...we don't accept this sort of item for auction..."
"Why not?" Sterling had no idea why Calista was out to embarrass Kallum, but since there was a chance to embarrass him, why not make it worse?
"Since you've brought it out, then it can be auctioned! I'll put up 5 billion!"
Kallum laughed coldly as he stared at him, "Sorry but you're too ugly for me to marry!"
A gasp ran through the whole crowd. Kallum was well known to be very direct with his words, but it was also Sterling's own fault for speaking up at such a time. Kallum couldn't be bothered about the expression on Sterling's face now. He let go of Calista, then took the ring from the table and forcibly put it back on her finger. Calista's entire body stiffened, her heart cold and bitter, and she was not touched at all.
"Why do you do this? Even if you give it to me, I won't marry you."
Kallum pursed his thin lips together very tightly when he heard this.
He looked at Calista, and then suddenly declared loudly in front of everybody, "That's your business. I only want you!"
With that, he pulled her into his arms and bit down hard on her lips!
That's right, he bit her! Calista was doing this tonight was definitely to step on his pride, and there was that one moment when he thought of just winning the bid on the ring and then forgetting about this woman completely. But he didn't want to admit defeat! He was not willing to! He...couldn't...couldn't bear to...
Now that he liked her, what right did she have to just say she didn't like him? Was she playing with him? If so, then he was going to insist on giving her what she didn't want!
Calista was angered by Kallum's fierce kiss in front of so many people that her face had turned red, but she had no strength to push him away. Kallum kissed her so hard and so urgently, as if he was about to swallow her whole.
Calista was prepared to fight back
with everything she had, but then she suddenly noticed a deep pain in Kallum's reddened eyes, and she realized that no matter how strong a front he had put up, her actions had indeed hurt him. He had placed the world at her feet and she had kicked everything aside in his face, and it must have hurt the arrogant Kallum very deeply.
Seeing him like this, Calista eventually stopped struggling...
She had been too rash in coming up with this method to agitate him. But she didn't have a choice either - Kallum kept closing up the distance between them and was controlling the relationship remotely, making her feel extremely uncomfortable and pushing her to do something like this.
The scene of the two of them kissing in each other's embrace pierced the hearts of many women.
If she was already willing to auction off the ring, then why didn't she fight to the very end? Then at least they stood a chance!
But it was an undeniable fact that all the women were jealous of Calista. Kallum was so furious earlier but did not hurt her at all. Instead he said that he only wanted her...what was this even! Who was Calista and how could she deserve this?! Sterling was deeply embarrassed by that one statement from Kallum. After tonight, he was surely the laughingstock of the entire nation!
Kallum, Calista! Good on both of you!
When he saw that Calista had calmed down, Kallum breathed a sigh of relief, even though he knew his actions were not right either. He even thought to himself, if Calista didn't act up, he would listen to anything she said.
It was only after he had let her go,
did Kallum suddenly realize what he had just done...but what was done was done, and Kallum was not one to regret his actions. Many people had said he was arrogant anyway, so adding new descriptions of him being temperamental and rude was no loss to him.
So he pulled Calista back into his arms and declared coldly, "You guys can continue the auction by yourselves!"
He randomly pulled a ring off one of his fingers and threw it on the auction table. "Emerald ring, from the Renaissance. This will be the item my fiancée is putting up for auction."
After that, he dragged her out with him, his face still a little angry. Once they had left, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
