Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 77 Standing On Trial

By the time Calista reached home, three hours had already passed. She was full of energy after that long nap, so she rejected Kallum's candlelight dinner offer and went straight home.

Quintus saw that Kallum dare not move for several hours just so that Calista could sleep comfortably, and his shoulders must be aching by now, so he couldn't help but say, "Ms. Stafford is a bit too..." He really wanted to say that she was too heartless in pushing Kallum aside after she had taken what she needed from him...

Even though he had not said out his actual thoughts, his eyes had betrayed how he really felt.

Kallum had taken a day off work and there must be a huge pile of work waiting for him now - who was it for? All the bodyguard cars and his car had gone round a quarter of Horington - who was that for? But Ms. Calista had rejected Mr. Kallum's simple request to have a candlelight dinner together just like that! Poor Mr. Kallum...

Kallum rolled his shoulders and threw him a dirty look.

"If you say anymore, I'll exchange you for Julian in Liberia!"

Quintus quickly shut his mouth after that. Julian Parker had sent some news back earlier, saying that Liberia was now infected with the K Virus and the government was unable to do anything about it, so there was a lot of internal conflict happening there. Going there was as good as punishing himself! No way was he going there!

Kallum saw that he was silent, and he smiled a little.

He felt that Calista seemed gentler towards him, and that wasn't just his own imagination! He had a feeling that he was going to win her over soon!

...and that's why it's often said that men's intuition isn't accurate.

When Calista got home, she noticed that the atmosphere in the house was very heavy. She hid away her good mood after getting a good rest earlier, smiling coldly as she walked in. "What's going on?"

She saw that none of the servants were around, but Benedict, Yelena and Quincy were all seated in the living room waiting for her, and she could guess what this was about.

"Callie, don't you know? The house that Grandpa and Grandma used to live in has been burnt! Burnt to the ground!"
