Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 231 Throw Him Out Kallum was never one to hold back his words, especially when it cto protecting Calista from any affront. His intolerance for disrespect toward her was a clear trigger for his ire, and he never hesitated to express his displeasure openly.

Warrick's face soured upon hearing Kallum's unabashed defense, yet he persisted with his scheme, seeing no direct way to challenge Kallum's influence. Instead, he targeted Calista in an attempt to create a rift.

"Mr. Kallum, your favoritism toward Ms. Stafford is quite apparent! She's a treasure, isn't she? Could we perhaps understand why? What has brought about such a tic change in your attitude? It's well-known around Horington that there was a twhen you harbored no fondness for Ms. Stafford. Maybe Ms. Stafford herself could enlighten us?" The crowd around them, far from intervening, listened with rapt attention, their interest piqued. Over the year, Kallum's public appearances had been rare, but his business exploits were well-recognized in the city. Moreover, he was often seen with Calista, clearly very close, though his affection displayed more brotherly than romantic. Kallum and Calista exchanged a silent glance, choosing not to comment. Their relationship, for multiple reasons, was in a delicate balance-too complicated for public discourse.

Warrick pressed on, eager to provoke a reaction. "If we were to speculate that you harbored romantic feelings for Ms. Stafford, then she wouldn't now be considered your sister, right? Once we rule out that possibility, only one remains." He seemed smug with his deduction, confidently asserting, "Ms. Stafford must surely provide sextraordinary benefits to you, wouldn't you agree, Mr. Kallum? Ordinary advantages wouldn't suffice to capture your interest. Given Ms. Stafford's recent endeavors, it seems she's quite focused on acquiring the K Virus, no?" "If Ms. Stafford's efforts could solve significant global challenges, that would indeed bring immense benefits and prestige to the Fairchild family. So, that must be why Ms. Stafford continues to enjoy the Fairchild family's favor, right? Perhaps, Ms. Stafford, you could explain your sudden trip to Corleon? What sparked your intense interest in the K Virus? With your achievements in cancer research already paving your way to fand success, why choose to pursue such a dangerous path?" Warrick continued.

The force of his interrogation turned the room's attention squarely onto Calista, their eyes probing, assessing whether such a young woman truly held the power he insinuated.

Have we stumbled upon sgroundbreaking information? If not, how else can we explain Mr. Kallum's protective stance toward her? Warrick cleared his throat nervously before launching into the speech he had meticulously prepared beforehand "Let us consider for a moment that my theory holds water-that Ms. Stafford possesses an incredible talent and has made noteworthy advancements inher research on the K Virus. It's perfectly understandable why Mr. Kallum holds her in such high esteem and ensures she remains by his side.

However, that is not the crux of what I wish to discuss today!" He paused, allowing the suspense to build, his words capturing the attention of everyone present. In that moment, Warrick, though small in stature, felt a surge of exhilaration as the spotlight figuratively turned to him, his suppressed excitement slowly bubbling to the surface.

His eyes intensely focused on Calista as he continued, each word enunciated with precision, "Now, imagine if Ms. Stafford has indeed discovered something phenomenal-if she has actualdeveloped a technique to mask the presence of the K Virus. Wouldn't that signify she has achieved what no one else could? Suppose she has developed a treatment that allows those infected to recover rapidly from a fever or to appear as healthy as anyone uninfected..." His suggestions were heavy with innuendo, almost overtly insinuating that Calista's high standing with Kallum was because she had managed to conceal his supposed infection with the K Virus.

The implication was clear-Kallum was only seemingly uninfected because of Calista's secret intervention.

Many in the crowd, especially the

more cautious ones, instinctively C retreated a step, pondering the plausibility of Warrick's assertions They found it difficult to accept that Kallum's recovery was merely due to the rare success of the antibody injection, suggesting that Warrick's speculation might indeed Phold struth. "Are you done?" Kallum's voice cut through the murmuring, his expression one of unmistakable disdain.

Despite the heavy scrutiny from the no no signs of crowd, Calista alatant smirk, she unease With a With responded, "I must concede, your 'theory' is rather entertaining." Kallum, his brow furrowed in irritation, had already made decisive move. "Throw this attention-seeker out!" At his command, two figures promptly stepped forward, seizing Warrick firmly by each arm.

Warrick was taken aback, not expecting Kallum to so completely dismiss the speculation swirling around them. Without offering any defense or clarification, Kallum was prepared to get rid of him!
