Her Vengeful Rebirth
Chapter 360 Is That How You Perceive Me
However, she didn’t want to argue. In a nonchalant tone, she said, “Here’s your black card. Consider it as compensation for the damage I’ve caused to the reputation of the Fairchild family.”
Inexplicably, a black card had been thrust into his hand, leaving Kallum at his wits‘ end.
He gritted his teeth. “The neighborhood isn’t safe! I heard about a girl who lived alone and was targeted for a robbery!”
Seeing that Calista remained indifferent, he added threateningly, “She was
even brutally murdered!”
Calista finally crossed her arms and looked at him. “And dismembered too? How odd that such big news was only witnessed by you?”
Kallum was completely drained, a fiery agitation surging in his chest. Couldn’t Calista see that he was giving in? Couldn’t she give him an out, a chance to turn the page?
“Old Mr. Yancey really doesn’t want you to leave!”
His face turned beet red, and after much effort, he managed to squeeze out these words.
Calista hauled the suitcase back. “He’s so understanding, so he won’t stop me.”
“The butler hates to see you go too!” Kallum said with a scowl, “And so does Mr. Haught, Quintus, and the rest. They don’t want you to leave! Unlike some people, they actually develop feelings after spending time. “with others!”
Calista looked at him, a question arising without reason. “Even the gardener’s dog can’t bear to part with me, right? I remember feeding it.”
“Calista! Are you trying to make me lose my temper?!”
Whenever Kallum tried to back down, Calista never gave him any room to breathe, pushing him to the point where he could no longer contain his anger. He grabbed her hand, forcing her to look at him.
“So you’re just going to leave? Do you think of Fairchild Manor as a place you can come and go as you please? And what do you take me for? A plaything to be used and discarded at will?”
your
Calista looked up at him, a hint of helplessness in her voice. “I don’t seem to recall ever playing with feelings. Please don’t accuse me of crimes I didn’t commit. Or have you forgotten? You said you wouldn’t beg me anymore. So, what is this now? Are you speaking on behalf of those who ‘can’t bear to let me go?”
Calista remained indifferent, causing Kallum’s anger to reach its boiling point.
“I’m not begging you!”
A flicker of sadness flashed through his eyes, his irises filled with anger and pain.
“It has always been like this! One minute, you claim to love me, yet the next, you say you don’t love me. Have you ever truly loved? Or have you just been playing me all this time?”
His words left Calista momentarily stunned, a hint of icy mockery tugging at the corners of her mouth.

now it’s still you who wants to love me. Can’t you just stay consistent for once and completely ignore me from start to finish?”
“D“mn it!”
Kallum’s temper had suddenly flared up. He could no longer keep his composure, speaking almost recklessly. “If you hadn’t done so much, do you really think I would have fallen for you?”
No sooner had he spoken than he regretted it. But before he could say anything to remedy the situation. Calista had already begun to scoff coldly.
“So, you’re saying that my actions have touched you? That’s quite unexpected. But it seems like you’ve misunderstood something. The kindness I showed you initially was not without motive. I was simply looking to exploit the power you held to effortlessly suppress my enemies. So, saving you was merely a transaction. It was a partnership. There’s really no need for you to be moved by any of my actions.”
When Calista disassociated herself, it truly infuriated Kallum even more. From the way he glared at her, it was as if even the air around them had caught fire.
“So what you’re saying is, aside from using me, you have absolutely no other feelings for me? All this while, it’s been me deluding myself with feelings?”
“You can see it that way, Calista said with a smirk.
Her smile made Kallum feel as though something was clutching his heart, causing a suffocating pain. rationality was consumed by rage, leading him to speak without thinking
“You never truly loved me!”
Calista was taken aback.
His
“In the previous life, as per your account, our paths diverged after you turned eighteen. In other words, there was no connection between us after that age. So, how did you love me for the next decade or so? Was it through memories!”
He shook his head, a hint of self–mockery in his expression. “You just feel like you’re stuck in a quagmire, already tainted. So, that initial flutter of the heart became your eternal beacon of light and faith! You’ve turned your feelings for me into a nostalgic remembrance of the past and an inability to let go. But once you give up on this final ray of light, you’ll plunge into darkness, transforming into someone else entirely…
Suddenly, Calista burst into laughter.
“For instance, becoming like me now?”
The two were engaged in a heated rivalry, one hot, the other cold. When their gazes met, sparks seemed to fly.
Calista’s eyes sparkled as she looked at him. “Are you suggesting that my feelings for you are nothing more than a nostalgic longing for my lost innocence, and my decision to let you go is an acceptance of reality? So, in your view, I never truly loved you, but merely romanticized my feelings for you? Is that M?”
Although he was reluctant to accept this analysis, for it questioned her feelings and undoubtedly negated their current relationship, Kallum couldn’t think straight in his anger and stubbornly stuck to his conclusion.

“Indeed!”
Calista narrowed her eyes dangerously, taking a step forward to press closely against his body.
“So, in your heart, is that how you perceived my feelings?”
“What else, then?” Kallum’s eyes dimmed, his voice growing colder. “If you loved me, you wouldn’t have left. Not only that, but you also despise me. Even though I’ve done nothing wrong in my life, even though you say you’re not confused, you still hate me. You’re taking your anger out on me, and yet you won’t admit it!”
