Chapter 20 Exposing The Hypocrisy Of Her Stepmother

Now she knew she had gotten it wrong all this while, and Mirabelle was scheming beyond her imagination. She used such intelligent tactics - able to lie like this at a tender age of thirteen! She realized she was lagging far behind in this aspect.

The raindrops continued to fall, drenching her hair.

Her heart suddenly felt so cold - it was only two nights and a day into her reborn life, and she had seen how evil people could be, and it was truly a tough situation to be in.

She lost to these schemers in her previous life because she was always a step too late. She was always too late to see these enemies' true colors, and spent too much time on futile things.

Her love for Kallum, her affection for her father, her friendship with Mirabelle - they were all in futility.

But this time she wasn't going to make the same mistakes. No matter how strong her enemies were, she was going to protect everything that belonged to her.

She had dreams, she was still young, it wasn't too late, it wasn't...

But why did she feel so miserable?

Calista held her hand up to her chest and slowly squatted down on the ground.

Hatred, anger, such unnecessary suffering, such unfair defeat...she felt utterly miserable.

His face grew worried, "Why are you still here? I thought you went back a long time ago?"

When she heard his voice, Calista slowly pulled herself out from those painfully suppressed feelings, and let Wyatt help her to the car.
