Chapter 432 More Than Meets The Eye

"What did Mr. President say?" Calista hit the nail on the head with her question.

Shaun replied, "Mr. President trusts us. He expressed deep remorse about this incident. Even though he suppressed the news immediately, the word still managed to get out. I suspect it's the work of people from the other major families or possibly even a foreign conspiracy."

Calista gave a slight nod. "Who was it that died? Did Mr. President mention how that person passed away?"

Shaun responded, "The cause of death was asphyxiation, but there are just too many factors that could lead to such a demise."

Calista lowered her head, choosing to remain silent.

While Shaun was lending a hand, he seemed a bit distracted. Seeing that Calista was still working methodically, neither speeding up nor slowing down, he finally couldn't help but speak up. "Ms. Calista, aren't you worried? There are many people outside pressuring Mr. Kallum to hand you over. Some are even threatening to burn you alive in public!"

Unable to hold back, Calista asked, "Like they did when they burned witches at the stake?"

"Ms. Calista!" Shaun's tone intensified. "Why aren't you the least bit worried?"

"Is there any use in worrying?" Calista asked as she gently poured one vial of medicine into another of a different color, waiting for its reaction to change. Didn't you mention that Kallum has already returned to take care of things?"

"You can't just not worry at all. We're talking about a matter of life and death here..."

When Calista saw the medicine gradually fuse together, a smile finally graced her face. "He said it himself. With him around, he told me not to worry. So, what's there for me to worry about?"

Suddenly, Shaun fell silent. Based on his understanding of Calista, he was well aware that this was the first time she had trusted someone so wholeheartedly. Mr. Kallum, have you finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel? Let's hope we can get through this crisis without a hitch.

With that thought, Shaun quickly composed himself and hastened his actions.
