Chapter 156 Dealing With Snakes

That’s why it was crucial to prevent Calista from causing any havoc.

She fixed her gaze on Calista, her voice laced with a veiled threat. “Callic, how about we head back first? You haven’t been home in a while, don’t you miss it?”

Benedict let out a sigh. Despite his disdain for his younger daughter’s actions, he understood that the family’s reputation was paramount while they were in public.

Emmett looked confused, while Quincy was secretly thrilled in her heart.

Benedict was taken aback, while Yelena and Quincy felt a sense of unease and confusion stirring within them.
