Chapter 445 Please Spare Quincy

At Calista's order, Quintus chuckled and replied, "Yes, Ms. Calista. I'll ensure she won't be able to utter a single word."

Upon seeing that Quintus was serious, Yelena began screaming while shielding her head, “Have you no shame, Calista? Do you want the entire world to know how ruthless you are?"

With a smile, Calista motioned for Quintus to step back. Then, she teased her by saying, “If the price of fame is to respond to hostility with kindness, I'd rather remain obscure."

Yelena's face was pale, but after over a decade of oppression, she could still stand up to Calista even when she was suppressed to that extent.

She shouted fearlessly, "I am your stepmother! I'm a cleaner here, but you sit here and eat like royalty! Aren't you afraid of the world's condemnation?"

Calista grinned wickedly. "You're right. It's a bit inappropriate that you work here while I dine here. But don't worry. You'll soon be let go, and this issue will cease to exist."

The moment she threatened suicide, a ripple of unease spread through the crowd. The boss and staff, in particular, were so terrified that their faces drained of all color. Yet, Calista merely watched her with a smile.

"That'd be easy. Just bang your head against that pillar. Please don't stop her, ladies and gentlemen. If she dies, I'll take the blame."
