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.

Yet, Calista didn't catch his gaze and took advantage of the time to study. Exams were just a couple of days away. Whether she could advance and join the combined master's and doctoral program hinged on that one instance.

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.

After the injection, everyone assisted Kallum in changing his clothes and ushered Calista behind another partition to get dressed, as she was the star of the day.

"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.

"The Wolford family has been struggling with their capital flow for quite some time. What was initially a minor issue had escalated into a major problem after several failed collaborations. 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.

"Young ladies are always fickle-minded and infatuated with handsome men. Tell Donati, I've chosen a decent girlfriend for him."
