Her Rebirth of Retribution -
Chapter 241 Unwilling To Let Things Go Easily
Kyven, of course, wasn't willing to let the matter rest easily. He had approached Harvey several times, intent on getting his money back first and foremost! Unexpectedly, Harvey never anticipated that Quincy's secret would be revealed. By that time, Quincy had already been taken away by Yelena. As such, he wondered if Yelena...
However, that was not the time for Harvey to dwell on that. It was impossible to expect him to cough up the money he had already spent. He even went to Kyven, stating that he didn't plan to acknowledge Quincy as his daughter. Additionally, he emphasized that she was a woman and lacked business acumen. Thus, even if he did acknowledge her, she wouldn't be the heir he wanted.
However, Kyven wasn't an idiot and didn't get fooled by Harvey. He wasn't someone to be trifled with, having both money and power under his command. If it hadn't been for Harvey's cunning schemes in the past, it was debatable whether Harvey would even have the chance to become the head of the Wolford family!
The Wolford family was in dire straits, but under the conscious control of Harvey and Kyven, the mystery of Quincy's origins had not yet been revealed. At that moment, Quincy returned!
Quincy wasn't supposed to return at that time, but after being kidnapped and frightened, she no longer dared to stay abroad alone. Even if Yelena's "friends" were there to look after her, it just wasn't enough!
Thus, under the tearful pleas of Yelena, Quincy returned to her home country ahead of schedule.
After a year apart, Quincy had changed significantly. She used to present herself as lively and adorable, but at that moment, she lacked the youthful vitality expected of an eighteen-year-old girl. Her eyes were gloomy, and when she looked at people, it inexplicably irked them.
As a member of the family, it was only natural for Calista to return home at that time to check Quincy out.
At that point, Benedict's attitude toward Calista had become much more reserved. Had he not been forced to acknowledge it at the previous banquet, he could never have imagined that Calista and Kallum were in that sort of relationship!
After the incident, Benedict called to inquire. Calista candidly admitted her relationship with Kallum. Instantly, her value in Benedict's eyes skyrocketed!
The goddaughter of the Fairchild family and the future lady of the Fairchild family were two entirely different concepts! Moreover, it was Kallum himself who publicly declared his intention to marry Calista. Given his reputation for always keeping his word, it seemed this wedding was all but certain.
Calista was oblivious to the fact that people outside had gone crazy over Kallum's two sentences because she was at home.
"Dad, you really don't have to do this." Seeing Benedict welcome her as if she were a guest, Calista felt somewhat uncomfortable.
In her past life, she was practically invisible in that household. It seemed her status determined the treatment she would receive.
Benedict wore that cautious
expression again. Even though he was her father, he had witnessed Calista's cold indifference over the past year. Moreover, Calista's personality had become incredibly sharp, a trait that Benedict naturally feared. Therefore, he no longer dared to assert his authority as an elder in front of her. After all, Calista was no longer the obedient and quiet girl she once was. "It's good that you're back. Come on... Quincy, quickly greet your sister! You haven't seen each other for a year. It's the perfect time to catch up."
At that moment, Quincy's mood was far from beautiful. If before she had the patience to feign civility with Calista, at that point, all she had left was jealousy!
Quincy had suffered so much abroad, yet Calista was thriving back home!
When Calista was kidnapped, she surprisingly received a public proposal from Kallum! Horington was buzzing with that news. Everyone envied and congratulated Calista, claiming they were a match made in heaven. Except, of course, Quincy, who thought that Calista didn't deserve Kallum.
Quincy gritted her teeth. We're sisters, so why are our circumstances so vastly different? Now, everyone only knows of the eldest daughter of the Stafford family, who's a prodigy and the lucky one held in high esteem by Kallum. As for those who remembered me, they probably only recalled my scandals!
"Quincy?" Benedict frowned.
"Callie." Quincy took a deep breath. She was not foolish, quite adaptable, in fact. Mirabelle still had a bit of a prominent young lady's airs about her, but Quincy didn't. After adjusting her attitude, Quincy even managed to put on a smile. "I was kidnapped overseas, so I'm a bit upset. I hope you won't take it personally."
Calista slightly raised an eyebrow. It seems that Quincy has grown up quite a bit. "Why would I be?" Calista laughed. "In fact, I came to present you with a grand gift." Quincy was taken aback. Would she really be so kind as to give me a gift?
Yelena felt an inexplicable unease stirring within her. Meanwhile, Calista spoke up, addressing Benedict before anyone else could "Dad, I have a few personal things I'd like to discuss with Quincy. I
ve
promise it's going to be a pleasant conversation. Could you and Mrs.
Stafford give us some space?"
In response, Benedict hesitated a bit. However, considering his humble wish for family harmony, he hurriedly agreed.
However, Quincy didn't want to chat with her. She found Calista too suspicious, which scared her a bit. So, she called out, "Mom!"
Yelena immediately stood up. "We're family. There's nothing you can't discuss openly."
Calista revealed a rather mysterious smile. "Quincy, what I have to say is definitely good news for you. However, if you really don't want to hear it, then let's drop it. Is the meal ready? I'm hungry." Quincy and Yelena exchanged a glance. Quincy was swayed by Calista's words, while Yelena felt an inexplicable sense of worry.
