Chapter 242 Oblivious To Underlying Tension

“All right… Let’s talk in the living room then,” Quincy hesitantly agreed, subtly glancing at Yelena.

Benedict was oblivious to the underlying tension between the two women and cheerfully guided Yelena aside. Once Benedict was out of sight, the strained smile on Quincy’s face faded away.

“Speak up! What is it that you want to say?” Quincy was perched on the couch, legs crossed, her hand subconsciously reaching into her pocket before halting midway. Calista surmised that she must have developed a smoking habit. After all, abroad, even some drugs were commonplace, much less smoking.

Calista didn’t point out the obvious and took a seat on the couch to Quincy’s left, chuckling lightly. “Actually, I can totally relate to how you’re feeling right now. Do you feel like everyone is revolving around me, and all the good things are falling into my lap? Even though we both carry the surname Stafford, our situations couldn’t be more different, could they?”

Quincy stared at her with somewhat vacant eyes. “Isn’t that the case?”

Her demeanor gradually became more subdued, and in the end, she glared at Calista like a venomous snake. That was a stark contrast to how she was when Benedict was around!

Quincy spat, “Did you come here to gloat? You b*tch, you stole everything from me! You were the reason I was disgraced and expelled from school. Now, you’ve successfully won over Mr. Kallum and become the most esteemed woman in the city. Are you pleased with yourself?”

Calista, however, continued Quincy’s words. “Meanwhile, you have to make a living from those people you looked down upon.

Calista looked at her with a hint of sympathy. “You disdain the identity of Ms. Stafford, thinking it’s beneath you. You scorn Benedict, yet you’re forced to appease him, for without him, even this lowly status would be beyond your grasp. Also, you look down on Yelena. Despite her wholehearted good intentions toward you, you still see her as petty. Everything you’ve ever wanted, everything you value, is now in my hands. You’re envious of me, wishing you could replace me, isn’t that right?”

Quincy gritted her teeth, maintaining a semblance of rationality. She knew she couldn’t yell at Calista while Benedict was present. Yet, what Calista had just said left her so infuriated that she could barely breathe!
