Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 11 You Have Very Mesmerizing Lips

Calista let out a sigh of relief. She removed the thumb ring from her hand and placed it on the table.

This thumb ring signified that she was the next mistress of the Fairchild family, and had rights to 20% of the family assets. This ring was coveted by countless women, but yet when Calista removed it, she felt much lighter. "Thank you, Mrs. Fairchild."

Wanda couldn't bear to part with her - Callie was so obedient and so mature, it hurt her to watch Callie suffer. She couldn't help but blurt out, "Even without this engagement, you must come and visit me often..." Suddenly she had an idea!

"Or how about I adopt you as my goddaughter?"

Calista wanted to reject her at first, but once she thought about how she would benefit from being a goddaughter of the Fairchild family, she hesitated. After all, given her current situation, she would need some assistance.

So she did not immediately reject, instead saying with a smile, "This is no small matter. Why don't you decide after discussing with Mr. Fairchild?"

Then she stuck her tongue out and said playfully, "If I really become your daughter, I might embarrass the Fairchilds though."

Wanda quickly promised her, "There's no problem at all! You're my daughter, how could you be an embarrassment?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this would work out. Her husband did not really approve of Callie being his daughter-in-law, but Callie had come to call off the engagement of her own accord today. So if she were to adopt Callie as her goddaughter, her husband wouldn't say anything anymore!

Calista smiled and prepared to leave as she had to attend to more things after this, but Wanda couldn't bear the thought of her going back and insisted that she stay and have lunch.

Calista thought, Kallum hates sitting at the same table with me, so he's definitely not coming down to eat, and agreed to stay.

They chatted for a while more, and Wanda nagged her about many things before finally adjourning to the dining hall.

The Fairchilds were extremely wealthy, nobody could deny this.

This old mansion stood on more than two thousand square miles of land, and even simple things like serving trays exuded luxury.

There were many who thought that Calista was merely after the family wealth, so even though Kallum didn't like her, she held onto this engagement. Perhaps only a small handful of people knew that she genuinely liked Kallum for who he was.

- she really, really liked him. Perhaps liking him had even drained her lifetime's worth of courage and strength from the weak personality she had, but unfortunately, feelings
