Her Rebirth of Retribution
Chapter 86 No Strength To Defend

The screen immediately turned dark and the most d*mning part of the conversation was not played. But this bit of exchange was enough to throw Mirabelle into an abyss.

But Mirabelle was very certain that since whoever did this had a copy of this video, so he wasn't going to stop here. Her expression became extremely nasty. Who could have done this? Who actually dared to do such a thing? Wasn't he afraid that that the Fairchilds would go after him? Who in this city didn't know how well Kallum treated her!

Meanwhile, there was an uproar in the crowd.

"Isn't it strange? I thought Mirabelle's famous dance was her own creation? This dance won more than ten awards at the prestigious Red Sleeves Awards and she became famous overnight for it. But according to what we just watched, this dance belongs to someone else?"

"And Mirabelle tried to buy it but the other party refused to sell. So how did Mirabelle get this dance?"

"She's a liar! All that talk about her being the youngest and most talented dancer is all garbage! She's really a thief!"

"Who was the guy in the video? Call him out to explain things!"

There was more and more murmuring among the crowd and it became noisier and noisier. Calista saw how Mirabelle looked on with a pale and helpless face, and she began to slowly let go of her tightly clutched hands.

There was no point in watching the rest, so Calista turned the TV off and asked Kallum, "So where's Xandra? You said you met him, so give him to me."

Kallum couldn't figure out what Calista was thinking at all. Was she happy or not? If she was happy, why did she still look so distant? Wasn't revealing Mirabelle's true colors the outcome Calista wanted?

But Kallum only replied in a low voice, "He asked me to make sure justice was served, and he left after I agreed."

This was the truth. Kallum wasn't sending a fairly good looking man over to Calista, even if he was mute. Anyway he had already arranged a safe place for Xandra, so he wouldn't suffer anymore.

Calista remained silent for a while, then she stood up. "That was a very good show, thanks for the hospitality, Mr. Kallum. I have to get going."

"Calista!"

Kallum suddenly grabbed Calista's hand. "Are you happy now? Or angry?"

Calista narrowed her sparkly eyes and tilted her head as she looked at him. "Is whether I'm happy or not important?"

"Very!"

"Fine, I'm very happy, so please let go."

"No!" Kallum's eyebrows were tightly knit as he repeatedly opened his mouth then closed his thin lips again, and it was obvious that he was struggling in his heart.

"What are you unhappy about? The look in your eyes tell me that you're resisting me!"

Calista heard this and violently tried to pull her hand free.

"Resisting? That's a pretty appropriate word to use. Actually I like what I saw, but then I feel that...you are very scary!"

"I'm scary?"

Kallum felt like an arrow had been shot through his heart. It was suffocating and it ached. He wanted to be angry, but could only suppress it with all his might.

Calista smiled coldly. "Aren't you? You love to the extreme and you hate to the extreme. If one day you lose interest in me, or you're tired of me, are you also going to throw me into the depths of hell like that?" This was distorting the truth!

Kallum clenched his teeth. "I won't do something like that to you! I..."

"Don't say you like me!"

Calista's gaze suddenly became intense, and in that instant, Kallum finally saw the rage that she had been hiding all along.

"So what if one day you replace that the person who tricked you was me, you realize you've trusted the wrong person, you replace out that the person who saved you back then was really Mirabelle - what would you do?"

Calista answered her own question before Kallum could. "You would be frustrated to the point of fury? You would make my life a living hell? Mr. Kallum, you are a person who can do absolutely anything you want, so it's really dangerous to be by your side, and it frightens me!" With that, she finally broke free from Kallum's grip and headed towards the door when Kallum suddenly shouted.

"I won't!"

Calista stopped.

"Even if you lie to me! Even if you use me! Even if you are immoral or vicious, I will still like you! I just do! You know very well that I would never hurt you. What are you running away from?"

Calista was about to move when Kallum suddenly hugged her from the back.

"I've never liked anyone before, and I have no idea what I should be doing, but I just like you! You don't have to accept it, but you shouldn't doubt me!"

Calista pursed her lips together and didn't say anything.

"Give me a chance? Or do you have a better person in mind? You have so many enemies, and I'm the only one who can protect you." Everything Kallum said was true.

He was still investigating the link between Yelena and the Wolfords, and the Wolfords would eventually go up against the Staffords. The Staffords couldn't even go against the Langleys, so how could they fight against the Wolfords? Only he, Kallum, would be able to protect her without regrets, and do anything for her!

"Even if I make use of you, you're willing?"

Calista slowly calmed down, and her low and hoarse response made Kallum's heart leap for joy.

"I'm willing!"

He was sure that Calista would be moved by him, so there was no way he wasn't willing.

His immediate response froze Calista on the spot. She really couldn't understand how Kallum could like her so much in such a short time.

"I have to think about it."

Kallum's eyes opened wider. He hadn't expected Calista to give in- this was a pleasant surprise.

He turned Calista to face him, his eyes shining as he said, "I'll give you time! In fact, I have to go away on a business trip, so I'll wait for your good news after I return?"

Calista finally sighed.

She had been cold, angry and thorny toward Kallum, but he was still so passionate towards her, as if he hadn't seen any of this.

Sometimes she felt like she couldn't do anything to defend herself...when someone was determined to be with you with all his heart and mind, his warmth might really melt a glacier.

Kallum took the chance to pinch her face and his lips curled in to a smile. "Silence means consent!"

Calista slapped his hand away and glared at him. "We'll talk when you're back!"

It was hard to imagine that there were times when she hesitated.

Kallum behaved like she had agreed, his eyes smiling, and even the mole at the corner of his left eye was shining brightly. From her previous life till now, Calista had never seen Kallum like this. He used to be arrogant and cold, but now he was smiling so brightly in front of her.

On the other side, Mirabelle was on the verge of going mad.

She was still angry even after

thrashing the entire backstage area. She couldn't believe something like that could happen after that perfect thank you speech and final dance item. The image that she had built up so painstakingly over the years was now destroyed.

"Have you found out anything? Who the hell did this?! I want him to die horribly!"

Mirabelle had a threatening look on her face now, and it was the complete opposite of the gentle look that she had earlier on stage.

A crew member wiped his sweat as he replied, "The hacker is too powerful, I...I can't get to the source!"

"You're useless!"

Mirabelle sat down on a chair, breathing hard. Then she quickly gave instructions, "Keep close tabs on the internet - if any videos of this leaks, shut it down immediately, got it?!"

A woman next to her said

comfortingly, "Don't worry, we won't

let any videos leak onto the web, so don't be upset anymore. Don't forget, dancing is just to pass time, and ultimately you'll be the

aw of the Fairchilds, so

you have to hold it in!"
