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.

“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?”
