Chapter 435 The Long Wait

This time, Francine didn’t hold back and quickly said, “I told her that her family would marry her off to that man if she didn’t take her own life. That man had already beaten two of his wives to death. So, you

sec…

Tears streamed down Francine’s face as she continued, “I told her that living like this is worse than death itself. If she were to die, her family would inherit a fortune, and she would be free from this miserable life. If she doesn’t choose death, she’s bound to end up with that old man!”

“Why did you relay a message for Fielding, then?”

Upon hearing the mention of Fielding. Francine was so infuriated that she w

practically seething with

“He’s the one who led me astray! He told me that the girl was an easy target! He promised me a million if I could just push her over the edge! It was a million for just a few words! I couldn’t resist the temptation! I’ve never seen so much money in my entire life…”

As Francine continued rambling on, Fielding’s expression grew increasingly grim. Maisie’s face had long since lost all color. Even though Kallum had used illicit means to force out the truth, at this moment, no one was blaming him. Everyone stepped back, clearing a circular space. Fielding and Maisie were sitting on the ground, unsure of what to do next.

Having clarified the facts, Kallum lost interest in dealing with them. The unfortunate girl was already dead, so what awaited them was merely the harshest condemnation from both the law and morality.

With a casual wave of his hand, he ordered for the evidence to be delivered to the police station.

The wrongdoers were severely punished, and the crowd gradually laid down their arms. Having made all the fuss only to realize that they had been used as pawns, they felt utterly frustrated.

Someone stirred the pot again, saying. “We’re only half an hour away from six o’clock. The three–day agreement is almost upon us, but we still haven’t seen Calista. She hasn’t run off, has she?”

Kallum glanced at the person and said, “What’s the rush? We still have half an hour.”

His voice sounded indifferent, yet it inexplicably sent a chill down the spines of those who heard him.

With just one sentence from him, no one else dared to speak again.

The horizon was gradually starting to lighten, and the winter dawn was bitterly cold. During the previous emotional upheaval, the chill hadn’t registered. But now, the final half hour seemed to stretch on endlessly.

“What a lively scene!”

A group of people slowly approached. With a surge of energy, Kallum turned toward them and said in greeting, “Mr. President.”

The public was in an uproar. Is the President! The President has actually come in person!

demeanor. He feared that an irreparable conflict would arise. However, when he called Kallum, the latter assured him it would be okay, that he could handle it. So, he decided to hold back and not act

Kallum nodded. “It’s just a minor issue and has been taken care of.”

The President looked at Kallum with approval in his eyes. Despite his young age, Kallum’s work ethic was truly commendable. If he were to run for a seat in the council, participate in the elections, then the future. of Chanaca would be in good hands. However, it was clear that his ambitions were elsewhere.

The President let out a good–natured chuckled as he said, “It’s fine as long as everything is handled well. Seeing as the time is almost upon us, I thought I’d join in the fun. Who knows, I might even witness a miracle.”

Kallum invited the President to come in and have a seat, but he declined and said, “No worries. It won’t be long, so I can stand for a bit.”

And so, Kallum ordered all the lights in Fairchild Manor to be turned on. In an instant, the manor shone like a beacon in the night, casting a faint glow over the darkness and stretching Kallum’s silhouette long.

He had done everything that needed to be done. Now, all that was left for him to do was to wait.

At that time, a steady stream of people arrived, many of whom were foreigners.

After saluting the President, a tan–skinned man said eloquently in Chanaean, “I heard that the results will be out soon. I’m here representing my homeland, a country that has been tormented by the K Virus. On the other side of the globe, everyone is eagerly awaiting the outcome.”

For the first time, the President was not surrounded by the usual multitude of bodyguards. He was smiling pleasantly and personally told him, “Sure; let’s wait together.

Taken aback by the President’s response, the tanskinned man nodded in agreement. He held his phone, livestreaming for the folks back home. There were many others like him, with the same intent. They came one after another, each giving a respectful salute to the President before silently standing aside. Despite the fact that their livestreams were blowing up, they themselves remained incredibly calm.

Furthermore, a large number of journalists had also arrived. In fact, they had been there for quite some time. However, the previous chaos caused by the crowd had frightened them, making them hesitant to approach and only daring to observe from a distance.

Now they had arrived, Quintus sought approval from Kallum. Kallum gave a slight nod and said, “Let them come over.“”

And so, the reporters entered, brimming with excitement.

This time, however, their movements were gentle. Despite being in a large group, not a single person spoke. It was as if they were afraid of disturbing something. This was undoubtedly the first time these journalists had ever been so quiet.

Gradually, the perimeter of Fairchild Manor was surrounded by over fifteen thousand people. Through them, countless others stayed up all night, eagerly awaiting the final outcome.

Would it be a success, or a failure? Would there be a miracle, or would it all turn out to be a joke?

If it has been successful, why would it take this long? Well, it is the K Virus we’re talking about, after all. If it has failed, how would the Fairchild family handle the aftermath?
