Her Rebirth of Retribution
Chapter 128 Mirabelle Lied

Calista arched an eyebrow and glanced at her. "When I slapped you right in front of him, he didn't even say anything." Mirabelle almost passed out from anger upon hearing that.

That was her sore spot. Kal is clearly on my side, so why did he indulge Calista last time? He must've been too stunned and infuriated by Calista to react. That must be it!

In a fit of rage, Mirabelle began speaking thoughtlessly, "All these years, Mr. Kallum has always been nice to me. He'd give me everything I asked! We're childhood sweethearts! But what about you? Has he ever shown you any kindness since you were a child?" Calista felt disgruntled to hear that, but her smile only grew brighter. "But when we were kids, he didn't dare to mistreat me either. It's not my fault that Mrs. Fairchild favors me over you."

Glancing at her own fingertips, she added, "Oh, I almost forgot. Last time, when I mentioned I wasn't a good fit for the Fairchild family and suggested that Mrs. Fairchild replace herself another daughter-in-law, even recommending you, do you know what she said to me?" Mirabelle, intending to retort, fell silent when Calista brought that up. Curious to know what Wanda thought of her, she held her breath and waited for Calista to finish her sentence.

I'm the epitome of elegance in Horington. Mrs. Fairchild should be satisfied with me, right?

Calista let out an exaggerated sigh. "It's such a shame that she said you were too pretentious. She even told me she'd never consider giving you a chance even if I refused to get engaged to Mr. Kallum. Oh, she also told me Linda was a suitable choice..." Mirabelle finally lost it and shrieked, "You're talking nonsense! She'd never say something like that! She has a good impression of me!"

Calista's eyes narrowed, and her expression turned serious as she questioned pointedly, "So, you're admitting that I'm Kallum's fiancée, that Mrs. Fairchild likes me, and that Kallum and I are childhood sweethearts?"

Bystanders could see things more objectively, and all the onlookers heard everything loud and clear. Mirabelle said that Kallum had never liked Calista since they were young, but she didn't refute it when Calista claimed to be Kallum's fiancée. She only refuted the part of Wanda having a bad impression of her.

That meant Calista was Kallum's girlfriend, and Mirabelle was the mistress.

Mirabelle's face turned pale. She had been overwhelmed by the anxiety of not being able to see Kallum recently, and it didn't help that Calista was so harsh, causing her to lose her composure and give Calista the opportunity to strike back. Since when did Calista become so good at this?

Calista revealed a mocking smile. "Do you know why I slapped you and Kallum didn't stop me? That's because I have the right to! Shameless Mirabelle!"

When Mirabelle was left speechless, another girl behind her fumed, "You! You're just twisting facts! Everyone knows that Mr. Kallum despises you. If you hadn't intruded, Mr. Kallum and Mirabelle would've already been engaged!" "Enough!" Mirabelle interrupted her friend.

Calista laughed triumphantly. "So,

even your friends know that you haven't succeeded yet! It's ridiculous that you all had the nerve to come here and accuse me of being a mistress. He has always been mine. Why do I need to steal something that's rightfully mine?"

After she finished speaking, the room fell into a deafening silence. Aside from the troublemakers who felt embarrassed, everyone else felt inexplicably satisfied.

It's always exhilarating to see the troublemakers try to pick a fight but end up humiliating themselves! Seems like Calista's looks isn't the only thing that has changed. Her mean words almost destroyed Mirabelle and her friends!

Mirabelle, defeated, was about to

leave with her gang when Janice

spoke up. "What's going on? Mirabelle, didn't you say that Mr., Kallum had feelings for you, and it was Calista who interfered? Also, I thought Calista was just a pauper. How could she be engaged to Mr. Kallum?"

Janice's words dealt Mirabelle another severe blow.

Calista spoke slowly. "Though my family isn't wealthy, we're far from poor. The Royal Pharmacy is ours."

Mirabelle swallowed her anger upon sensing the surrounding crowd's curious gazes, shot Janice a fierce glare, and walked away.

"What's going on, Mirabelle? How

could you be a mistress? Even if Mr. Kallum doesn't like Calista, you can't just do this!” Before Janice could finish her sentence, Mirabelle had already disappeared from sight. Her pace quickened with each step, as if she wished to vanish completely.

Janice wasn't a fool, so she realized she had been deceived. She never expected the gentle and graceful Mirabelle to lie to her.

Calista couldn't be bothered to deal with Janice. Distancing herself from Mirabelle and her gang might just be the best thing that'll ever happen to her.

Glancing at the time, Calista realized it was getting late and she should head back, not to the Stafford residence but to the Fairchild Manor.

She told Benedict that Kallum was injured and since she had medical knowledge, she wanted to take care of him personally in order to build a stronger bond with him. Without hesitation, Benedict agreed.

The goddaughter matter could wait, for Kallum's condition had just stabilized. It wasn't the right time for the Fairchild family to hold any big events.

Sitting in the car, Calista unbuttoned her collar, feeling slightly annoyed. Should I be entitled to some form of compensation since Kallum has brought me so much trouble?
