Chapter 3 Seeing Her Enemies Again

If the old Calista heard that she was making the Fairchilds unhappy, she would have chosen to remain

silent.

But now she knew that if she did not explain herself in front of everyone right now, who knew what terrible rumors would spread tomorrow!

Calista looked at the guests and laughed hollowly even though she could feel her body weakening.

“I’m upset too! The Fairchild family is having a party and yet someone is trying to murder me! I’ve just narrowly escaped death, but you’re accusing me of debauchery. Such care and concern you have for me, my lovely sister!”

Quincy was unable to respond to this. The word ‘murder’ sent another uproar through the guests.

Benedict finally came back to his senses and rushed over to Calista, “What? Someone wants to kill you? Who?”

The elegantly dressed lady beside him merely frowned while taking a step forward and smiled, “Benedict, don’t listen to Callie babble on. She must have just gone out to have fun. This is not some lawless country and we’re in the Fairchilds house – who is so daring as to attempt to murder here?”

What she really meant to say was that Calista had gone out to have so much fun, she ended up looking like this, and then simply said someone was trying to kill her to cover

Cover up.

The moment she started speaking, Calista turned her gaze to Yelena Langley, her stepmother.

How lovely…we meet again.

Calista looked at her and stopped herself from saying more slanderous words.

‘make things difficult for the Fairchilds’, Yelena panicked and quickly replied, “What are you going on about? I am merely concerned about you! I’m so afraid that you’re only interested in having fun and end up embarrassing the Fairchilds! Look at what you look like
