Chapter 308 Breaking His Legs As An Apology

"Enough," Calista declared sharply, waving her hand in a dismissive gesture as she sat elegantly on the couch, her legs crossed and her tone frosty. "I'm not interested in observing how you discipline your child. Jason and Quincy conspired against me. Were it not for Kallum's timely intervention, and frankly, a good dose of luck, I would have lost it all. Even if I had managed to survive, my reputation would be in shreds, my marriage would be in jeopardy, and let's not forget..." Her voice trailed off as she sported a mischievous grin and gently patted her stomach, "Have you all forgotten? I am carrying a child, you know."

Titus was visibly taken aback by her revelation. Had Calista not mentioned it, he might have completely overlooked such a crucial detail!

Kallum, with a slight lift of his chin, looked disdainfully upon them. "Had it not been for my swift action in catching Callie, she would've hit the ground, and we would've lost this child. This positions Jason as the culprit in an attempted murder against the future heir of my family! And you dare to dismiss this with a mere punishment?"

Titus' forehead was slick with sweat that seemed never to stop. The Wendells, relying on the business ties between their families and a general disregard for the sanctity of a woman's life, didn't deem ruining a woman's life a significant transgression. But an attempt on the heir of the Fairchild family? That was a grievous misstep..

At that moment, Jason burst out laughing. "Ha! A child? Kallum, you think you can fool anyone with that line, like my idiot father?"

He squinted maliciously at Calista. "Ms. Stafford's a virgin, isn't she? Even if not, she's hardly been involved in adult matters. You claim she's pregnant? That's utterly absurd. Is she pregnant on her first try?"

Dealing with Jason, a notorious womanizer, had its pitfalls. Seeing Calista enter that secret room, utterly unfazed by the scandalous sights within, he was convinced of her naivety. The notion of her being pregnant seemed utterly preposterous to him.

He couldn't resist taunting Kallum further. "But Kallum, are you impotent? Such a beautiful woman and you could resist not making a move?"
