Chapter 82 Tearing Up The Contract

Calista's words left Yelena battered all over - every statement from Calista was peeling a layer of skin off her face, making her face sting with pain, and she really wanted to hide herself in a hole now. "Such audacity!" Matthew heard the report from his servant and ran over to the main hall even though he wasn't done changing. Rage was written all over his face.

"Do you think I'm dead? How dare you say such things in my own house!"

Matthew was followed closely by Hans, who lifted his hand to slap Wyatt, but didn't slap him in the end.

"What's wrong with you? You let someone bully your aunt like that?!"

Wyatt had seen enough to know what sort of person Yelena really was, and suddenly he felt deep disappointment in his family. His expression grew complex as he asked in a soft voice, "Isn't Calista my cousin?" What cr*p cousin is this! Hans wanted to shout this at his son, but since there were so many people watching, he gave a deep scowl but did not say anything in response.

Yelena saw that her father and brother were here, so she quickly put on a pitiful face and ran to hide behind them. There was a strange expression on the guests' faces - Calista had silenced Yelena with just a few words, and it didn't take a genius to know who was lying and who the real victim was. But now Yelena was still trying to act pitiful, putting on a great act to fool everyone.

Benedict pulled Calista behind him. He used to have complete trust in Yelena because he had felt guilty towards her and was grateful to the Langleys for helping him, but that didn't mean he could allow Yelena to bully his daughter! Or allow the Langleys to humiliate the Staffords like this! He hadn't married into the Langley family for crying out loud!

Matthew threw a nasty stare at Calista, and then smiled coldly at Benedict.

"Benedict, it's ok if your daughter is just behaving immaturely since she's young, I won't chide her over it. But now she's actually hit someone in public, so who knows, she might murder someone next? You'd better leave her here for the Langleys to teach her how to behave!"

Benedict ignored this statement, instead he asked, "Is what Callie said true? If she doesn't listen to you, then you'd bankrupt the Staffords?"

He had agreed to anything the Langleys asked out of gratitude, but not to be threatened or humiliated! He could accept not getting a divorce, but he would not tolerate others stepping all over the Staffords.

Matthew's face tensed up and he used his walking stick to pound the floor.

"Nonsense! Why would I have said anything like that? This child must be lying!"

Calista lifted her exquisite face and immediately retorted.
