Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 307 Momentary Lapse In Judgment

This uncharacteristic behavior did not escape Kallum's notice, prompting concern. "What happened? What did they do to frighten you?" he inquired with evident worry.

Calista, looking somewhat subdued, replied, "I just feel... I depended too heavily on my own recollections. That's what led things astray this time. I accept a significant portion of the blame. I shouldn't have erred in such a way..." Her voice carried a hint of despondency, clearly impacted by her own perceived failings.

Kallum, attempting to lighten the mood, chuckled softly and affectionately tousled her hair. Noting her lack of resistance, his heart softened. "Silly girl, everyone makes mistakes. Don't hold yourself accountable for today's events; the fault lies with those despicable b*stards."

Despite his reassurances, Calista remained downcast. She had placed excessive trust in her memory, which not only led her into perilous situations but also jeopardized her survival. This was wholly inexcusable to her, and she struggled to readily forgive herself. "Geez..." Kallum murmured, sitting close and planting a tender kiss on her temple. "How did I ever fall for such a silly girl like you?"

Calista frowned slightly. I'm not silly! This mistake has been a rare lapse since my reincarnation. From now on, I can't rely solely on her memory of my previous life.

Upon learning of the machinations against her by Quincy and Jason, Kallum's expression darkened significantly. "It turns out it was that scoundrel. Years ago, a woman he fancied declared her affection for me publicly, which he took as a personal affront. Not only did he ruin her life covertly, disfiguring her, but since then, he's harbored a vendetta against me. I've never taken him seriously, but who could have imagined that he would be audacious enough to target you!"

The more Kallum dwelt on the subject, the more his anger intensified. A fierce sparkle appeared in his violet eyes. "Just wait and see, Callie. I'll make sure he pays for this!"

Calista nodded, her emotions mixed. Unexpectedly, she found herself expressing, "It's really nice to have you."
