Her Rebirth of Retribution
Chapter 144 A New Friend

After returning home, Quincy relayed everything she had seen and heard that day to Yelena. As she spoke, there was still a hint of lingering fear in her voice!

Calista's previous actions had already frightened her. When Kallum arrived later, she hastily slipped away, thankful for her quick escape. Otherwise, if Kallum had discovered her spying, he would undoubtedly have taken his anger out on her! After hearing everything, Yelena's head ache.

She began to confide in Quincy, sharing her deepest thoughts and feelings.

"Quincy, you must grow up quickly... Your father hasn't slept with me for a long time, from now on, I have to rely on you in this family. If you don't step up, there'll be no future for us."

Upon reflection, Quincy realized it was true. Calista was practically a member of the Fairchild family now, making it incredibly difficult to do anything to her in the future.

But how was she supposed to prove herself? She couldn't even replace a mentor at the moment! Staying at Bayview University was nothing short of embarrassing!

Suddenly, Quincy remembered that Calista was about to take her combined master's and doctoral program examination. If she wasn't mistaken, besides the examination, the students were also required to independently concoct a medicine to demonstrate their medical aptitude. Many could only manage to improve existing medicine, but Calista was different. She was exceptionally talented in medical research and was sure to present her own replaceings. If she could just get her hands on that, she would be guaranteed to be able to replace a mentor.

At that moment, the Yost family was steeped in an atmosphere of gloom and despair.

"In other words, Kallum realized you've been deceiving him for nearly a decade! Mirabelle! Why didn't you learn to swim?"

George sternly questioned while Mirabelle cried her heart out.

"I did learn! I really did, but I didn't learn for very long. That pool was so deep, and Mr. Kallum was so intimidating! I was scared..."

Her mother couldn't bear to watch anymore. Holding Mirabelle, she choked out, "What do we do now? Are we really going to send our daughter to prison? What kind of future would she have? Don't forget, she's a celebrity. If she goes to prison, her life will be ruined! George, you have to think of something!"

"What else can she do besides crying? How many times have I told her not to act impulsively? Look at what she's done! How could she threw a rock at someone else! If that had hit them in the head, there would be no need for prison, it'd be a death sentence!" George said indignantly.

"What do we do now, George? I don't care! My daughter can't go to prison, can't we replace someone to take her place?" Mirabelle's mother clung tightly to her, as if afraid someone might snatch her away.

"There's no other way! Either Calista willingly drops the case, or we replace a way quell Kallum's anger! There's simply no other solution!"

At this point, Mirabelle was seized by fear. She hurriedly said, "I'll beg Calista! I'll kneel and plead with her! I don't want to go to jail. If I'm sent there, I might as well be dead!"

Naturally, George didn't want Mirabelle to end up in jail. So, in a serious tone, he said, "The court officials will be here soon. I'll replace a way to stall them. Mirabelle, go to school and talk to Calista. As long as she doesn't press charges, you'll be fine!"

Mirabelle hastily wiped away her tears, quickly composed herself, and went off to school. However, deep down, her resentment toward Calista had reached its peak!

The Yost family had always been affiliated to the Fairchild family. In terms of relations, they were far more connected than the Stafford family! She felt that she didn't deserve any of this.

When it came to status, the Yost family was also leagues ahead of the Stafford family!

Why should she, a young lady from the Yost family, have to plead with Calista?

Mirabelle displayed a crazed expression. "Calista, oh Calista, you better behave! Otherwise, if I have to go to jail, I won't make things easy for your family!"

Since the exams were just around the corner, Calista spent her

lunchtime engrossed in her books.

As for the incident that happened

T

the previous night, Kallum had assured her that he would take care of it. She naturally treated it as if it never happened, after all, the exams were her current priority.

Although she possessed advanced knowledge, the fact that she hadn't completed her university education in her previous life was a lingering pain in her heart.

Moreover, there were many gaps in

the knowledge she had acquired, which required foundational

information to fill. At times, she even needed guidance from a mentor Hence she had to continuously pursue higher learning to further improve herself and to avoid squandering her talent and gifts.

"Calista! Calista, Mirabelle announced in the square that she's looking for you!"

Calista finished off the last bite of her meal, and immediately, a servant sent by the Fairchild family came to clear it away.

Feeling intrigued that Mirabelle had sought her out, Calista rose and headed outside.

"Calista, be careful," warned her female classmate, noticing Calista's nonchalant expression. "I have a feeling she might be up to no good!"

The gossip of Mirabelle crying wolf and accusing her of being a homewrecker previously had already spread like wildfire throughout the school!

It was then that everyone found out

that Calista was also a wealthy young lady. They had always liked her for her modesty and diligence, so at this moment, seeing that Mirabelle had came prepared, they kindly warned her.

Calista rarely conversed with strangers, as she was inherently quite reclusive. However, she did acknowledge their kindness.

"Thank you," Calista said, somewhat unaccustomed.

"No worries!" The girl's eyes were firmly fixed on Calista's delicate face. "My name is Tabitha! Can we be friends?"

Calista paused in her stride. The mention of friends brought Mirabelle to mind. However, she was no longer the naive girl she used to be. She had learned how to read people.

This Tabitha, at first glance, was clearly a simple and straightforward girl. Her eyes shone brightly as she looked at her, harboring no ill will.

What she didn't know was that Tabitha's sparkling eyes were filled with infatuation! She used to be too shy to converse with Calista, but now that she could, she was beyond thrilled. It was such a refreshing change!
