Her Rebirth of Retribution
Chapter 83 Who Dares To Touch My Woman

At this point, Benedict didn't know what to think anymore. On one hand, he hoped Matthew would sign the document, but on the other hand, he was afraid that others would think he was being ungrateful. Calista's stand remained strong.

She smiled calmly, and everyone could see that she was now standing straight and politely, with no trace of the viciousness and violence she displayed earlier. Her eyes that sparkled like the stars seemed to have been infused with infinite intelligence, and now she looked especially confident.

"Mr. Langley, just sign it," she raised an eyebrow, "Who knows anything about the future?"

She was obviously threatening him if he listened to her, then she would just take back the shares and not pursue the past anymore. If he didn't, then she would get the Fairchilds to investigate, and once that was done, the Langleys didn't just have to return the shares but would also have their name sullied! For a family like the Langleys, who valued reputation above all else, this was a fatal blow.

Hans wanted to make a scene but Matthew threw him a glance, so he stood back and glared nastily at Calista.

Calista used both hands to bring the contract to Matthew and made eye contact with Matthew. As she looked straight at him, Matthew felt like there were daggers inside her eyes, and he could feel like those daggers were stabbing right into his skin. Matthew's heart immediately froze and he bent down to sign the contract without even reading any of the clauses.

Calista was satisfied with this response and she put the contract back into her bag. She could let Benedict sign the contract after they went home.

A small quarrel had turned into a transfer of shares - many people realized that Calista was no simple woman after they thought through the series of events that led to this.

Yelena knew she was in deep trouble now. She had made the Langleys give up the delicious meat that they had eaten, and Matthew wasn't going to let her off easily.

Matthew had a very nasty expression on his face as he looked at Benedict and said, "Your daughter is really impressive! I had good intentions, since these shares would give me a reason to help the Staffords if your business ran into any trouble. I wanted to return the shares in the future, but you think we were trying to take advantage of your family? If I really wanted to take advantage of you, I wouldn't return these shares so easily! You two will really be...really be the death of me!"

Benedict looked embarrassed by all this and didn't dare to say anything. He was feeling a little guilty, but at the same time he was relieved that the shares had been returned. Now he didn't have to bear with the Langleys all the time anymore, and he was able to stand more confidently.

But some of the Langleys' relatives felt that they should say something.

"Benedict, I really didn't want to say this, but the Langleys are such a big corporation, why would they eye that tiny bit of benefit from you? Without these shares, the Langleys would have no reason to help you if anything happens to your business, you know? I hope you don't regret this!"

These in-laws of the Langleys were such petty people.

Calista laughed - so they were wrong in taking the shares back? Her father had wanted to return them in cash but they didn't want to accept it, asking for so many shares instead. The shareholder interest that her father had paid out over these years to them had already exceeded the amount they originally loaned him, so it was obvious who had really benefitted from this entire transaction.

Someone else chipped in, "You Staffords are really heartless. Even if you've regretted transferring these shares, you didn't have to ruin a celebration party like that. The Langleys allowed you to marry their daughter but..."

Matthew used his walking stick to hit the floor again so as to shut them up. Benedict looked uncomfortable, but Calista was still smiling happily, so it was obvious that nothing they said was working. Looks like he had to replace a hitman to kill her off later, so that Calista wouldn't actually get the Fairchilds to investigate further.

"We will not talk about the shares now..." He had said this with a calm voice, but he was furious in his heart. Benedict owned a pharmaceutical company and the yearly shareholder interest was a lot of money! But no matter what he said, everyone here could see clearly who was truly benefitting from the shares, so he had to quickly hand the contract over to minimize the damage to his reputation and to make people think that he didn't care for that money and was a magnanimous person.

He suppressed the anger boiling inside and continued speaking, "Benedict, forget about the shares, that's just a small matter. But Calista has hit her stepmother, everyone here is a witness! One of my family members has been hit just like that, so how do you intend to settle this?"

Before Benedict could respond, Calista asked, "What do you want?"

Hans snorted and said in a loud voice, "My father is saying, you can forget about leaving this place today! You shall stay here for a month, and the Langleys will take this time to educate you! Even though you Staffords have been unethical and ungrateful, my father is a kind man and doesn't want to see you continue down the path of wrongdoing! That's why he's actually taking the effort to teach you!"

He then clenched his teeth and looked towards Benedict, "Benedict, this is for the sake of your family's future! Don't tell me you're not agreeable?"

Benedict was still feeling a little guilty about taking the shares back and wanted to say yes, but he knew deep down in his heart that the Langleys were a nasty bunch, and if Callie stayed in this house for a month... "And if I say no?"

Calista was smiling broadly. She had fought and quarreled today already, so there was nothing she didn't dare to say anymore.

"Calista! Don't you know what's good for you? You're still so arrogant after hitting a person - do you want me to send you to the police station?"

You don't say - didn't Wyatt represent the police?

Calista glanced at Wyatt, who looked at her with mixed feelings, and she shook her head.

"Didn't Yelena tell you that I have a mental problem?"

Calista pointed at her own head while saying this, and then suddenly pulled the table cloth next to her hard! All the food and beverages on the table shattered to the floor.

Calista was on a roll now, and she laughed coldly as she said, "It's not a crime for crazy people to commit murder you know? You Langleys are really not afraid to die!"

Matthew was so angry that his face was completely pale. He clutched his chest and nearly collapsed. After being alive for so many years, this was the first time he had seen someone as bold, wild and

ov

audacious as Calista.

"You bloody b*stards! What are you standing there for? Calista's gone mad, hold her down now!"

Hans roared with bloodshot eyes as

he rushed to support his father. He had already thought of how he was going torture Calista for the next month. With such a pretty face, she was perfect for him to send offto his lecherous friends for a taste! He wanted to see if she could still be so bold after that, and whether Kallum would still want her after that!

Of course, Calista knew what Hans was thinking. She wasn't afraid of staying in the Langley residence, because at most they'd all die together - no matter what, she was going to give the Langleys a hard time!

When she saw someone catching

up with her, Calista pulled another table cloth off and flung it over, sending gasps and screams throughout the hall. The guests all quickly ran to the side, looking at Calista as if she had really gone crazy.

Benedict was frightened by all this, but he was afraid the Langleys might hurt Calista, so he quickly stood up to stop them.

"Father, Callie really has some mental issues. Please don't hurt her, I'll take her home right now!"

But Matthew had no more pity left in him and didn't say a word. In order to prevent Calista from making trouble again, they had to keep Calista here and discipline her. The Langleys were best at torturing others. When he saw that none of the servants were able to even get close to her, a fierce look flashed in Hans' eyes as he walked towards Calista with large strides.

"I don't care if you're sick in the head or not! You've made my father so angry he nearly vomited blood, so I have to teach you a lesson!"

He ignored Benedict's attempts to block him and wanted to rush forward and slap Calista to get back on behalf of Yelena.

Suddenly the main door opened once more, and when Kallum saw what was happening, his smiling face suddenly became serious. In an instant, it was as if the main hall had caught fire. "Let me see who dares to touch my woman!"
