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.

“Could you please go back, Callie? Consider it as a favor to your father, wiil you?” said Benedict.

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.

Calista then addressed Emmett openly.
