Chapter 3 Seeing Her Enemies Again

If the old Calista heard that she was making the Fairchilds unhappy, she would have chosen to remain silent.

But now she knew that if she did not explain herself in front of everyone right now, who knew what terrible rumors would spread tomorrow!-

What she really meant to say was that Calista had gone out to have so much 'fun', she ended up looking like this, and then simply said someone was trying to kill her to cover up.

The moment she started speaking, Calista turned her gaze to Yelena Langley, her stepmother.

How lovely...we meet again.
