Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 133 Thumb Ring

Only then did Kallum lift his gaze toward her.

During the period of constant companionship, Kallum had grown accustomed to unconsciously seeking her out. He didn't want anyone else to interfere with anything that concerned her.

Kallum found himself surrounded by a group of people, obstructing his view of Calista. He cast a displeased glance at them, leaving everyone with an inexplicable sense of having done something wrong.

"How are things going with the Wolford family?" Kallum suddenly asked in front of the mirror.

At that point, Quintus had already become much more composed.

They had to shut down several subsidiaries and were even considering a marriage alliance between Sterling and someone from Clouden Bank of Summerbank. Although they disparaged Sterling's humble background, the bank CEO's daughter was smitten with him at first sight."

With a cold chuckle, Kallum looked into the mirror. His flamboyant good looks were still the same, yet he had a ruthless glint in his eyes.

I'm just that indulgent toward my wife. Of course, if I were to die suddenly, these pieces of evidence would still be sent to the authorities. The Wolford family won't be able to escape justice.
