Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 10 Calling Off The Engagement

Her engagement to Kallum was an agreement between her late mother and Wanda when they were babies. The two ladies were the best of friends, and after Wanda had married up, she wanted to help her best friend as much as possible. Even after Calista's mother

passed away, Wanda insisted on keeping this engagement, otherwise Silas would not have agreed to let his son marry her.

In her previous life, after her reputation was left in tatters by those two men the night before, Wanda initially refused to call off the engagement, but after tremendous pressure from the family, she had no choice but to take back the emerald thumb ring. After that, whenever she was in trouble, Wanda would come to her rescue. Unfortunately she was a weak person in her previous life and felt that she had let Wanda down, so she eventually let herself be bullied to death and did not call for help. "Callie, you're here so early?"

Calista smiled, "I have to come in person to settle something, sorry to disturb you, Mrs. Fairchild."

Kallum lifted his head from behind the computer when he heard what the servant said.

He had a pair of beautiful but extremely sharp eyes, black yet slightly purplish. Each time he shot someone a stare, that person would feel under extreme pressure. "What's she here for?"

Kallum thought that she had come to harass him and furrowed his brows.

She did say that she would come to call off the engagement, but Kallum did not take those words seriously - if this woman is so obedient, I'll thank her instead.

The servant stuttered, "Mr. Kallum, she's here to call off the engagement..."

"What?!" Wanda got up with a start. "I will not agree to this!"

Calista already predicted that she would respond like this, so she smiled gently and tried to explain, "Mrs. Fairchild, listen to me..."
