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!-

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

How lovely...we meet again.

make things difficult for the Fairchilds by slandering me?" Upon hearing the phrase 'make things difficult for the Fairchilds', Yelena panicked and quickly replied, "What are you going on about? I am merely concerned about you! I'm so afraid that you're only interested in having fun and end up embarrassing the Fairchilds! Look
