Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 137 I Am Done Dancing

"Mirabelle! I thought you were formidable. Yet you were completely suppressed by that despicable Calista!"

Seeing that they were alone, Quincy led Mirabelle toward a secluded spot by the swimming pool. "Don't tell me you've already decided to give up!" she exclaimed. Mirabelle had already composed herself when facing outsiders. She looked somewhat gloomily at Quincy, this person who was neither friend nor foe.

"You didn't make it clear over the phone. Why has Calista changed so much? It's as if she's a completely different person!"

Mirabelle's mention of it made Quincy feel wronged. She gritted her teeth and said, "How was I to know what triggered this d*mned woman? That day, I merely arranged for two men to assault her to annul the engagement. But who knew that after that night, she would turn as vicious as a mad dog, attacking anyone in sight! My mom has warned me to steer clear of her for a while."

Mirabelle shot her a look of resentment. "You must have given something away. She wouldn't be like this if she hadn't been deeply affected!"

Quincy looked at Mirabelle with distaste, scoffing. "You act as if your hands are clean. According to Calista, she already knows that you were the one who drugged her last time, causing her to lose her virginity. Do you dare to say you didn't contribute to her going mad?"

Upon hearing that, Mirabelle's eyes widened in fear, not because she was scared of Calista figuring out it was her. After all, she had made it quite obvious during that time. I fear that, back then, I had held Calista in contempt and employed not-so-clever tactics. I haven't left any traces behind, have I? Has she obtained some evidence that made Kallum trust her?

"What do we do now?" Mirabelle's face, devoid of any pretense of a smile, gave off a gloomy aura. "She's practically half a member of the Fairchild family now. Who knows, this could all be part of her scheming, trying to gain an advantage by being in a favorable position. We can't let her get her way!"

Upon hearing her say "we", Quincy couldn't help but curl her lips. However, with a sudden idea, she smiled and said, "I think Mr. Kallum still prefers you. After all these years, you are the only one he treats differently. I bet Calista has been sowing discord in front of him, and given how busy Mr. Kallum is, you won't know when you'll see him next if you fail to clear up the misunderstanding tonight. I'm sure you know that since Mr. Kallum is still recovering from his injury, Calista has been using her little medical knowledge as an excuse to stay at Fairchild Manor every day. This constant companionship..."

Her words made Mirabelle feel a great deal of pressure.
