Chapter 262 What A Ridiculous Idea

Hendrick gritted his teeth. Observing Callum’s nonchalant and contemptuous expression, he couldn’t tell- whether Callum was genuinely unafraid or simply putting on an act. However, gambling so much on a single blood test was clearly unwise.

Just as he was caught in a state of indecision, one of the parties involved made a belated appearance.

“I was only gone for a short while, and this place has suddenly gone quiet. What’s going on?”

Calista and Wanda arrived together. In contrast to Kallum’s innate nobility, Calista exuded a feistiness that was cultivated over time. Even when she was smiling, her gaze was so piercing it was impossible to meet.

Upon seeing Calista, a wave of relief washed over Hendrick, who exclaimed aloud, “Calista, you finally showed up. Tell me, are you being held by the Fairchild family against your will?”

Before anyone could react, he seized the initiative and then carefully observed Calista’s expression. It wasn’t just him; others were doing the same, eager to know if Calista was indeed held captive by Kallum as Hendrick had speculated.

“Why would you ask that?”

Much to everyone’s disappointment, Calista’s reaction was anything but dramatic.

She arched an eyebrow, casting a glance at Kallum. With a grin, she said, “What a ridiculous idea.”

“Stop pretending!” Seeing Calista involuntarily looking at Kallum’s expression whenever something happened, the wavering Hendrick suddenly became a bit more resolute.
