Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 219 Being A Clown

Noticing the crowd's gaze on her, Calista felt a sense of bewilderment. Could it be that Sterling had obtained some sort of evidence and, in the face of death, wished to drag her down with him, hence the reason for this banquet?

But what difference would his evidence make? Even if she were to hand the money over, it wouldn't benefit him. Regardless of the worst outcome, she would remain unscathed. So, what was Sterling's real intention? She scoffed, "I have no idea what you're talking about. Uriah? I've never even heard of his name."

Inside the banquet hall, Calista and Sterling confronted each other, their auras starkly contrasting. One emanated icy reserve, while the other exuded a sinister and mysterious presence.

Sterling's lips curled into a sardonic smile. "Let's dispense with the pleasantries. I once collaborated with Uriah, supplying him with a considerable arsenal. Yet, in an hour's time, the police will arrive to apprehend me. I can't help but feel aggrieved. I worked alongside Uriah, only to face arrest now. Meanwhile, there are others who engaged in dealings with him, even pocketed a hefty sum from his coffers. Why haven't their misdeeds been brought to light?"

The insinuations in Sterling's words twisted Calista's expression sour. "Me? Collaborating with Uriah? If it weren't for your involvement, orchestrating my capture by Uriah, I'd never have crossed paths with him. Or are you implying that since you're headed for a jail cell, this is your final act of defiance before confinement, dragging innocent bystanders into your downfall?"

Calista paused, a wry smile dancing on her lips. "Yes, the auction incident was a huge blow to your finances, but surely, you don't hold such a grudge?"

The doubts sown in the crowd's minds lessened significantly. Before her induction into the Fairchild family, Calista was just an ordinary girl from a respectable lineage. How could she possibly be connected to Uriah? Conversely, Sterling bore a palpable grudge against Calista. Her previous deception, tricking Sterling into acquiring worthless land, still stung. That night, Sterling seethed with fury, nearly bursting a vein.

Witnessing Calista's effortless escape from his grasp left him dumbfounded. That idiot Quincy, without external aid, would have crumbled under Calista's cunning within three moves.
