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!-

Calista looked at the guests and laughed hollowly even though she could feel her body weakening.

"I'm upset too! The Fairchild family is having a party and yet someone is trying to murder me! I've just narrowly escaped death, but you're accusing me of debauchery. Such care and concern you have for me, my lovely sister!"

Quincy was unable to respond to this. The word 'murder' sent another uproar through the guests.

They were all people of high status and feared for their lives too. If not for the fact they trusted the Fairchilds and were bound by social rules, they would have started running in a panic by now!

Benedict finally came back to his senses and rushed over to Calista, "What? Someone wants to kill you? Who?"

The elegantly dressed lady beside him merely frowned while taking a step forward and smiled, "Benedict, don't listen to Callie babble on. She must have just gone out to have fun. This is not some lawless country and we're in the Fairchilds' house - who is so daring as to attempt to murder here?"

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.
