Chapter 48 Forget It If You Do Not BelieveCalista rubbed her eyebrows as if she was having a headache and said, "Letthink...so at first when you thought that the person in the footage was me, why didn't I see you wail like this? Or could it be that because it was me, you were ok with it. But when you realized it was someone else, you becangry and preferred to insist it was my trap?" Calista's words were sharper than knives. Yelena was so angry that her lips trembled, but not a single word could cout.
But even though she couldn't speak, Benedict could. Regardless of which daughter was in the footage, he was thoroughly embarrassed by what happened! He shouted, "What you crying about! You still dare to wail and cry here? Quincy, go back to your room now!" Quincy cried even louder, "Daddy! You have to believe me! I only drank a glass of wine and this happened, I don't even know how this happened!" Everyone had mixed expressions on their faces - earlier in the footage, Quincy's face was very red, but her words were clear and logical, and certainly didn't sound like someone who had lost control of herself, who would believe this excuse? After that she went to beg Calista, "Callie! Callie, say something! I don't even know Jonathan, why would I...Callie, you're the one who sees him every day!" Even at such a time, Quincy still hadn't forgotten to take every chance to smear her. Calista merely smiled calmly and didn't refute any of her words, while Benedict shouted at Quincy to go to her room again.
Benedict truly doted on Quincy and even though he was really furious, he couldn't find it in himself to say anything nasty. Meanwhile, Jonathan saw that the situation wasn't looking good, and made his escape from the window! A gardener crunning over and reported, "Sir, someone slid down the pillar from Ms. Calista's room, I tried to give chase but he hit me!" Benedict suddenly remembered there was another guilty party and clenched his teeth as he shouted, "Go after him now!" Then his eyes lit up when he noticed Wyatt.
"Wyatt! Help to call the police! There must be more than meets the eye!" Wyatt was full of mixed feelings as he helped to call the police, and Jonathan instantly beca wanted man. But to Calista, who was watching coldly by the side this whole time, she felt that her father was still...as biased as before. Quincy realized both her parents were on her side, so she didn't want to embarrass herself any further and cried while running back to her own room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYelena wanted to immediately ask her what happened, but there were so many people present, so she had to grit her teeth and bite her tongue and try to clean up this mess for her daughter.
"I'm really, really sorry about what happened today! Someone must have plotted against Quincy, our Quincy has always been obedient and mature, and would never do something like this! All of you are Quincy's friends, please don't tell anybody what happened today, otherwise Quincy will be ruined for life!" She cried and pleaded and tried her best to erase all guilt from Quincy, but no matter how well she phrased it, these people would not necessarily want to keep mum about the matter, especially those few girls who didn't like Quincy, even though they all agreed on the outside.
But it would be hard for Quincy to find a man from a good family to marry within Horington now.
The more Yelena thought about it, the angrier she became, and her head hurt! All this must be Calista's fault! If it wasn't for her, Quincy wouldn't have been so embarrassed! Why didn't Calista just die! And that Jonathan ought to die as well! He went for Quincy even though she had instructed him to go for Calista! He couldn't do anything right! Because of Wyatt's rank, the police cvery quickly, and Benedict busied himself with cooperating with the police officers, allowing them to check all the food and drinks in the living room. Yelena continued pleading with the guests as she sent them out, and only Calista and Wyatt had nothing to do.
When he saw Calista turn to leave, Wyatt grabbed her wrist without thinking, "Where are you going?!" At the door, Calista looked back at her wrist in Wyatt's hand, and narrowed her eyes. "Why? You think I know where Jonathan is and you want to arrestnow?" Wyatt had to admit that he did think for a moment that Calista knew Jonathan's whereabouts, but once he was exposed by Calista like that, he suddenly felt discomfort in his heart, and he asked painfully, "Calista, about Quincy...was it you?!" Quincy had an unnatural redness on her face, and so she was definitely drugged. His aunt was suspicious, but she wouldn't have harmed her own biological daughter like this! So the only explanation was that his aunt wanted to harm Calista, but she realized it early and turned the tables on them, pushing Quincy into the pit of fire instead.
He couldn't believe that Calista would be so cruel. There were many ways to seek revenge, but Quincy was only seventeen! How could she harm her like this? The pain in his eyes grew as he looked at Calista.
Calista laughed strangely. "Don't you already have an answer in your heart? Let go of me!" Normally Calista would have the energy to pull her hand away, but she was beginning to feel the effects of the drug and her body was losing energy. She hadn't expelled the sexual desire that was inside of her, and it was all converted into pure anger now. "So it was really you..." Calista's words had sucked all the energy from Wyatt for a moment, but then he glared back at her and gripped her wrist tighter! "How could you do that? Quincy is only seventeen, how do you expect her to face anybody in the future? What do you get out of harming an innocent young girl?" Calista suddenly smiled, clenching her teeth with every word, "I want to ruin Quincy!" Her eyes looked like two torches of fire! "She's innocent? Yes, in your heart she will forever be the most innocent one! So what are you doing now? Why don't you go and comfort that wonderful younger sister of yours? Why are you harassinginstead?!" Wyatt was even angrier now. Calista had harmed someone and she didn't feel guilty at all! He couldn't tell if it was heartache or something else - he was upset thinking that the woman he liked was willing to harm an innocent party for the sake of revenge.
"There are so many ways to take revenge! Why did you have to cause harm to others? Go back in and apologize!" Calista was so angry she burst out laughing. "Could you get more ridiculous than this? Or is it because they're your relatives so you're blinded to the truth? Then you'd better not be a policeman anymore, otherwise someone might die for nothing!" She finally managed to free her wrist
from his grip, and she rubbed her wrist as she continued mockingly, "Was I the one who called for the m gathering? I was the one who found that doctor? I was the one who added those drugs? I was the one I who played that footage? Have you ever thought about what would have happened if I were the one who was the victim of all this?!" The more she said, the angrier she became, and her sparkling eyes becdeathly cold.
"I don't have a good brother like you to help me, I don't have a father to investigate this matter for me, I don't have a mother to helpcover up either if the person in the footage was me, it won't even take a day for the entire Horington to know what happened to me! What would have becof me!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWyatt didn't know how to respond to all this, but he still insisted, "If someone else tried to plot against you, that's definitely her fault. But as long as you cbut unhurt, that's good enough, right? Why did you have to push Quincy into the fire?" Calista looked hard at him and suddenly calmed down. "This is why I said, we will never be friends, and will definitely never be relatives! Stop getting in my way, we're not close at all!" Calista then turned and left. Her last few words were like needles that pierced right into Wyatt's chest.
But Wyatt didn't think he was wrong! He didn't believe that the young Quincy would know how to plot against Calista, and he believed Quincy was innocent, so Calista should not have done such a thing! But when he saw that Calista's face was also unnaturally red, he suddenly thought of something and the thought shocked him. He tried to run after her, but Calista had already disappeared from sight.
Calista was indeed feeling great discomfort. Quincy had really given her all just to land her in trouble. Earlier, Calista had bathed herself in cold water for a long tand was able tokeep her composure, but now the effects of the drugs were taking over, and even her. acupuncture skills were useless.
Calista was afraid that Yelena would find sway to put the blback on her if she remained alone in the house, so she ran out. She thought of returning to her rented apartment, but she simply couldn't get a cab. So at the last moment, she thought of where she could get help...
Kallum was having a meeting. After that last unhappy encounter with Calista, he didn't bother about her anymore.
And because he was in a foul mood, there were dark clouds over the office since that last encounter, and everyone was extremely tense and afraid that their boss might find fault with them. Suddenly a cell phone rang and everyone looked around, thinking who was the one who wasn't afraid to die - how dare he or she forget to switch off the phone during a meeting with the boss! Then they realized the ringing phone was their boss' phone!
