Chapter 135 Persecution From Every Direction

"But it doesn't seem like Mr. Kallum dislike her-"

"You don't know that!" someone speculated maliciously. "Perhaps Mr. Kallum looked pleased today because he finally got rid of her. That's probably why he was being nice to her!"

Kallum held tightly onto Calista as they walked toward their parents under the watchful eyes of the crowd. The scene was strikingly similar to a dream Calista had long ago.

"Why are you here? You're not in good health. Didn't I tell you to just show your face for a bit and then go rest?" Calista asked in a hushed tone.

Kallum responded in a similar tone, "Others will hold you with greater esteem if I did so. The outsiders might not be a problem, but not the relatives. They can be quite annoying and hard to handle."

Calista followed Kallum's gaze and believed him. Although Kallum was Silas' only son, the other branch families had sons and daughters respectively, so they had long been eyeing the main family covetously.

When Kallum hadn't shown up, they looked at her with scrutiny and disdain as if questioning her value for Silas to view her with great importance.

However, after Kallum arrived, their attitude became much more cautious. Even though Kallum was young, since taking over, he had proven to be even more assertive, wise, capable, and vibrant than Silas. He was acknowledged as the head of the family. Being favored by him naturally elevated Calista's goddaughter status to new heights.

All eyes were focused onstage, while the atmosphere was tense and chaotic offstage. Embarrassment crossed Yelena's and Quincy's expressions when they looked at Benedict beaming on stage.

The Fairchild family had only invited Benedict up onstage, making it clear they didn't want anyone else from the Stafford family involved. Moreover, Benedict also reaped the benefits from Calista's sudden rise in status. That wasn't good news for Yelena. "Mom! What has that b*tch ever done to deserve being a part of the Fairchilds?"
