Chapter 5 Make A Decision About Calista
“Mrs. Fairchild! You have to make a decision about my sister! She and those two bad people…”
Everyone present was reminded of what Zane said before getting dragged away. They looked at the filthy clothes on Calista and thought, Were there really love bites beneath her clothes?
It was hard not to suspect – those two scumbags were well capable of doing such a thing!
Wanda furrowed her brows and was about to berate her, when Calista suddenly smiled at her.
“It’s alright, Mrs. Fairchild – all the wounds on my body were inflicted when I ran away from the killers. If you don’t believe me, you can do a physical check.”
Many people stopped looking at her suspiciously when she made such a magnanimous offer. But Quincy was certain that Calista was just pretending – they were gone for so long, Zane couldn’t have done absolutely nothing!
So she chimed in between sobs, “For the sake of clearing my sister’s name, we will have to trouble you, Mrs. Fairchild!”
Wanda looked at Quincy unhappily when she heard this response, but Calista’s words made her turn back in shock.
“Well, since I’m Mr. Kallum’s woman, he should be the one checking my
body!”
Another round of murmuring went through the crowd.
Let Mr. Kallum check her body? Mr. Kallum was the only son of Silas, the sole heir to the Fairchild business empire and their new CEO!
Kallum n was usually y very busy with company matters, and so he seldom attended small parte this. Calista must have purposely requested for him because he probably wasn’t around.
Unexpectedly, Wanda only froze for a while and then said, “Sure, I’ll call him over.”
Mr. Kallum was at home? Everyone was surprised.
Calista smiled and said, “Sorry for the trouble, Mrs. Fairchild.”
She knew he was home, and since his mother was around, he’d definitely appear!
Suddenly everyone let out a gasp. Calista looked up and saw that Kallum had heard the commotion and had walked over.
Kallum stood at the top of the exquisite mahogany wood staircase as he nodded slightly at His deep purplish black eyes narrowed as he looked down, sending hearts fluttering.
the
guests.
The elegant and luxurious furnishings were now merely a backdrop to his handsome features and poised figure. Just like a king walking out of his palace, he had an aura of confidence and commanded respect, and it would seem disrespectful to look him straight in the eye.

Calista’s words made Kallum snort, his demeanor ready to attack, and his voice aggressive.
“You want me to inspect your body? Why should I?”
His voice rang low and clear, but his face was full of disgust.
“Also! Who said you are my woman?”
Mr. Kallum! He was actually at home! But that wasn’t the point – the point was that the rumors about him hating his fiancée were true after all.
Everyone, especially the ladies, were always excited whenever they saw Kallum! If not for the current situation, they would have gone up to try to chat him up by this time. Kallum was the one man that all the women in the country wanted to marry!
Normally, it was so hard to even catch a glimpse of him, never mind seeing him up close!
“The heat was rising in the room from the excitement, but the moment Calista saw him, she immediately froze over.
Her face was warm with excitement, but the rest of her body was trembling.
She realized she hadn’t seen him for five or six years now….Calista closed her eyes for a while, opened them and looked at him squarely in the eye.
then she
“On account that you’ve had me for one night – why am I not considered as your woman now?”
Her words sent shockwaves rippling through the crowd.
The guests were practically staring holes into Calista’s back.
The honorable Mr. Kallum had a fling with the fiancée he claimed to hate? The one who w shocked was Benedict he had thought that this marriage might not eventually happen, b knew all these other things happened.
“Have you no shame?”
–
Kallum furrowed his brows and turned to go upstairs.
Seeing him turn, Wanda quickly called out, “Kallum! Wait!”
st
Quincy took a step forward and added, “Mr. Kallum! This concerns my sister’s reputation, please help!
At that time, Kallum had been drugged, and very few people knew that he had slept with Calista. Moreover, Kallum thought it was Calista who had drugged him, and so he started to hate her. Even though Quiney had no idea why Calista wanted Kallum to be the one to inspect her body, the thought of Kallum hating Calista even more after seeing all the love bites on her body made Quincy even more
excited!
Perhaps Calista wants to plead with Kallum to help her this once, Quincy thought. Stupid girl, Mr. Kallum is never going to help you!

your mother, please!”
She had decided that if Callie really had such marks, she wanted her son to help Callie keep this secret.
Kallum frowned.
“Take it as your mother is the one pleading with you!”
Wanda pretended to cough a couple of times she had heart disease and if there was anyone that the man would listen to, it would be Wanda.
He looked back down at the woman who clung onto Him since they were children, his eyes full of loathing.
“Come upstairs!”
His tone was extremely nasty, but Calista still smiled gratefully at Wanda and headed up to the stairs.
Everyone looked forward to what would happen – Mr. Kallum wouldn’t lie, and he just needed a quick look at her wounds, it should be pretty quick.
Calista followed behind him, quietly looking at him from the back.
This was the man she had loved for more than twenty years, so even though he had always hated her, she still tried to please him in every way possible but they still ended badly.
It took her a long time before she finally understood that his personality was very extreme, and it was very difficult to change his opinion on a person’s character. So even after decades, centuries or even millennia, he would not look at her even once.
In the past, when she thought about this, her heart would ache. What she did not expect was now she no longer felt pain, but felt joy instead.
Pain was proof of her existence, whereas love….was it comparable to life?
Kallum was a very tall man. Once she had entered the room he turned around and loomed ove
“Didn’t you want me to inspect your body? Remove your clothes!”
Remove her clothes? He wanted her to remove all her clothes in front of him?
Calista laughed a little, and felt that Kallum was just purposely trying to make things difficult for her, since she used to be a shy and cowardly person.
But she had lost all shame after her body had been repeatedly touched for the sake of research in her previous life.
Calista pulled her dress’ zip down without reservation, and the dress fell off her body in an instant.
Under the bright light, all her wounds were clearly seen. There were several small fresh cuts, and even more bruises and nail scratch marks, which were a result of her struggling before she awoke in the
room.

Furthermore, she was wearing nothing inside!
Her slender figure and fair skin made the wounds appear even more strikingly, but also showed obviously that she had suffered greatly, and it was impossible that any man would remain unmoved by this sight!
Kallum’s eyes faltered, but the next second he suddenly felt tremendous anger when he saw those nail scratch marks. Those two b’stards deserve to die – how dare they touch his fiancée!
But what stood out even more was how calm Calista was, as if she did not care what had just happened
to her.
He suddenly reached his hand out and pushed her against the door, and said with an icy laugh, “You dare to ask me to inspect you when your body is full of such bruises? You want me to lie for you? Dream on!”
