Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 84 The Greatest Humiliation Of The Langleys Everyone was caught by surprise.

Was that Mr. Kallum? He was somebody who didn't even attend his own family's functions, so what was he doing at the Langleys? Even Calista was surprised. Wasn't Kallum very busy? What was he doing here? Hans dare not slap Calista in front of Kallum.

Kallum walked towards him with large strides, pushing himself between both of them and pulled Calista into his arms, and stared at Hans with unfriendliness in his eyes. "Why? You want to hit her? Do you know who she is?" Kallum's intimidating presence enabled the four men who cin with him to glare fiercely at Hans, all of them ready to kill, and the temperature in the hall hit freezing point.

Hans meekly took his hand back quickly. There was no more of that commanding and arrogant attitude that he had earlier in front of Benedict. Hans' face had now gone pale and didn't dare to say anything. Instead, Matthew was the first one to snap out of his shock and replied respectfully, "I see Mr. Kallum has come, I apologize for this mess. Earlier was...a misunderstanding. Callie and my daughter, Yelena, had sargument and Callie slapped Yelena twice, so in a fit of anger, my son..." As he spoke, Matthew turned to one side slightly, and Yelena quickly went in front to show her red and swollen cheek.

Kallum snorted. "So the Langleys were ready to hit someone precious toover an illegitimate daughter? How bold!" Matthew's smile froze on his face. Nobody ever dared to actually say out loud that Yelena was his illegitimate daughter, but there was nothing he could do about it - the person saying this was Kallum, and he represented the entire Fairchild family.

Matthew was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood out, but he had to swallow it right back. He went silent for a few moments, then suddenly reached out and gave Hans a tight slap! This slap was so fierce and with such great force that Hans' face was turned to one side from the impact.

"Dad!" Hans looked at Matthew with disbelief. But when he met Kallum's murderous look, he suppressed the anger in him.

"Don't you dare callDad! How many times must I say that the Langley family is a family that has high moral values and we value being reasonable! Callie is still young, but despite being an elder, you are picking a fight with her - aren't you embarrassed? Apologize to Callie now!" Hans could barely believe his ears. Calista had hit his sister but he had to apologize to her? What sort of logic was this? Calista smiled as she saw how Matthew was able to hold his anger in and grovel at others' feet, and she was sincerely impressed. With this ability to change his attitude depending on the situation, it was little wonder how the Langleys had remained such a strong family after so many years.

Matthew was really able to hold his anger in when needed, but he was also more vicious than others when necessary.

Calista touched her face and smiled gently. In her previous life, Matthew had hired someone to make many slits on her face because he was afraid she would use her beauty to her advantage. Even after she had healed up, there were still several scars left on her face. The pain and despair she felt as she was being disfigured - she would remember it for life! Hans shrank back under Matthew's fierce glare, and he finally bent his high and mighty head in front of everyone and clenched his teeth as he said to Calista, "I'm sorry...Callie, I was wrong." Calista was held in Kallum's embrace and didn't say anything until she heard murmurs among the onlookers and Hans' face was burning from holding his anger in. Then she asked mockingly, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly." "You!" Hans looked up and his knuckles cracked from being clenched so hard. If Kallum wasn't here, he would have bashed her up long ago! Didn't Calista understand how to leave a bit of breathing space? Wasn't she afraid that she won't be shown any pity if she was in trouble?! In any case, he was never going to forget the humiliation he had suffered that very day.

"I'm sorry! I want to apologize to you because I shouldn't have wanted to hit you! You got that?" Hans said in a loud voice, his eyes burning holes into Calista.

Kallum cast a disdainful glance at him. "Looks like you still have grievances towards my fiancée here." This simple statement made Matthew's expression change instantly. He quickly pulled Hans aside with his walking stick, glared hard at Hans, before turning back to talk to Kallum very sincerely, "This is a misunderstanding! Hans was angry about something else earlier already, and since he was young he had trouble controlling his anger. I'll discipline him later, and I hope Mr. Kallum doesn't take this to heart." Hans wanted to retort, but his wife, Joanna, quickly dragged him to one side. They would be in deep trouble if he offended Kallum again.

Calista laughed as she asked in a cold and distant voice, "The next head of the Langley family can't even control his own temper, and the Langleys still want to educate me? And you still wantto stay in this house to be educated for an entire month?" Matthew obviously didn't dare to insist on this matter anymore. His face trembled a little before he clenched his teeth into a smile and said, "Oh no no, that was just a joke. Callie is so obedient, you don't need us to teach you anything. I just wanted to invite you over to our place to have fun and spend squality ttogether, since we're in-laws after all." Everyone was impressed by how thick-skinned Matthew was. He was wearing a hypocritical smile and lying through his teeth. If Kallum hadn't appeared, Calista would definitely have been forced to stay. Given what happened earlier, these two families couldn't remain as in-laws, and were going to becenemies instead. Calista laughed coldly but didn't continue making things difficult. She was going to claw back everything that the Langleys owed her and her family - today was only the beginning.

"If that's the reason then forget it. I don't like going out and I feel more comfortable at home." Matthew laughed along with her, but only he knew what he was really thinking about.

Kallum looked at the mess on the floor and frowned. He had cto m back Callie up, to tell the Langley's ve who was supporting Callie! But he was no longer interested in doing this, and just wanted to bring her out from this house. "That's enough for today, but I hope you will remember that Calista is one of mine. Before any of you cross her, you'd better think about whether you're able to first." Kallum scanned the hall with his pair of bright and beautiful almond shaped eyes, ready to kill. Nobody dared to look him in the eye, but everyone understood what he had said.

Quintus was standing behind Kallum and wiping his sweat. After Mr. Kallum had fallen for Ms. Calista, he was making enemies everywhere he went. Even though these people were nothing to worry about, he didn't have to spoil Ms. Calista like that! It would get to her head! Kallum waited until there was absolute silence in the hall before he snorted satisfactorily and walked out of the main door with Calista and his bodyguards. Benedict knew it would be awkward for him to stay, so he quickly took his leave after Kallum had left.

After these people had left, there was a tense atmosphere left in the hall. Every member of the Langley family looked terrible - this must be the greatest humiliation the Langleys had ever suffered in all these years! Matthew was silent for a while, and

then pointed a finger at Wyatt, his face deathly pale, "You! Go to the d kneel before your ancestral hall and kne ancestor's, and you're not getting up until you know what you've done wrong!" The Langleys were a traditional family that maintained an ancestral hall, but this was the first tWyatt was told to kneel in the hall.
