Calista slightly raised an eyebrow. “No rush. I still have some things left unfinished.”

Jarrett wore a look of disappointment, half–jokingly leaning in closer. He whispered into her ear, “Actually, I don’t care if the child in your belly is mine or not. Won’t you consider me, especially after Kallum called off the wedding?”

“What are you talking about?”

Without anyone noticing, Kallum had suddenly walked over. He wore a smile on his lips, but his whole demeanor radiated an intense chill. It was as if he was ready to drive out intruders from his territory. Kallum’s hostility made everyone around feel uncomfortable.

Jarrett took a step back, expressing a hint of regret. “Look at this. It’s been so long, and we don’t even have time to catch up.”

Kallum would never forget Jarrett’s subtle ambition toward Calista. His guard was up, at an all–time high. Without a hint of emotion, he stepped between the two. His tall figure completely shielded Calista as he scoffed coldly.

“It’s not that I don’t want to, but Callie has been having a tough time lately. I’m sure you’re aware that carrying a first baby is always like this.”

Jarrett’s expression finally took a turn for the worse. He let out an ambiguous laugh. “If that’s the case, I won’t overstay my welcome.”

He glanced toward Calista, a flash of light behind his glasses. “Take care of yourself. In crucial moments, don’t forget our agreement.

Calista nodded, watching him as he left.

Kallum hadn’t expected that Calista actually had an agreement with Jarrett.

He couldn’t help but burn with jealousy, especially when Calista ignored him and engaged in an animated conversation with another man. He was seething with resentment.

“What did you agree upon with him?”

Kallum glared at her with a warning look, his words seething through clenched teeth. “Don’t forget. You’re still my woman!” And, of course, she would always be. “So, you better not harbor any unnecessary thoughts.” She shouldn’t even think about other men.

Calista felt somewhat helpless as she’moved closer to him. From an outsider’s perspective, it looked as if they were in an embrace.

“Mr. Kallum, I’m pregnant now. Who would be interested in me? You’re being too sensitive.”

Her soft lips inadvertently bruslied against Kallum’s sensitive spot, causing his cars to flush red instantly and his breathing to hasten slightly

In the past, he and Calista were close whenever they wanted to be. But recently, their cold war had lasted so long, he hadn’t… With that thought, Kallum felt his heart suddenly flare with warmth, and his gaze on Calista became fervent./

And at that moment, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

Suddenly, a woman crawled out from under the long table. She was holding a wine bottle in her hand and was screaming at Calista.

“B*tch! Go to hell!”

No one had anticipated this situation. She had attacked Calista, who was standing in front of Kallum. When Quintus, who was behind Kallum, wanted to intervene, it was already too late.

A hefty wine bottle came swinging down fiercely! Calista instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late. At that moment, Kallum swiftly turned around to see her in his arms, the wine bottle brutally smashed into the back of his head. With that, the entire banquet was thrown into chaos.

Kallum’s injured?

When the woman was pulled away, she was still hurling shrill curses like a madwoman.

“Go to hell! Go to hell! Calistal Just Go to hell!”

Calista hadn’t expected such a spectacle to unfold in front of the large crowd, and the crazed woman at the center of it all was none other than the star of the day, Quincy.

“What the hell is happening?”

Kallum’s face darkened, causing everyone around to be filled with terror. Horatio, looking utterly bewildered, rushed over. “Mr. Kallum, are you… are you all right? I have no idea what’s going on. After Quincy became pregnant, she suddenly went mad! I was afraid she might hurt people so I locked her up, but I didn’t expect her to actually escape…”

Kallum scoffed. Only a fool will believe such words!

Calista snapped back to reality from the sudden accident. As she noticed a speck of blood on the shattered glass on the ground, her pupils abruptly constricted in shock.

Oh no!

Kallum also realized the issue at hand. Quintus quickly led his men to separate the crowd, and with a cold. voice, he said, “We demand an explanation for today’s incident on behalf of Mr. Kallum. If not, it would seem as if you had this planned all along!”

Kallum’s face fell. “Enough. Let’s go!”

It was considered a major faux pas to leave a banquet hosted by a reputable family on bad terms. However, the Fairchild family’s reaction could be deemed reasonable. After all, they were inexplicably assaulted, and the perpetrator was a lunatic, no less. It was feared that this incident might strain the relationship between the two families in the future. All things considered, the Ingram family had truly been caught in an undeserved disaster.

Only those privy to the inside story knew that there was more than meets the eye.

“Mr. Kallum…” Horatio expressed with deep regret, hastily trying to keep him from leaving. “All this is my uncle’s fault. How about this? Please stay. Let me have someone attend to your wounds first?”

His demands were reasonable and seemed sincere. In the presence of so many individuals with unique

statuses, if Kallum insisted on causing a scene, it would only raise suspicions. After all, his injuries were not severe; he had only bled a little. However, Horatio was a senior who had been on good terms with the Fairchilds since Kallum’s grandfather’s time.

Kallum was stopped in his tracks, a flash of defiance briefly crossing his eyes.

“Mr. Ingram, I respect the bond you had with my grandpa, hence my respect toward you. But don’t mistake that as an invitation to play your cunning games in front of me, all right?”

He positioned Calista behind him, pointing in the direction where Quincy was dragged away. “If my memory serves me right, you invited everyone to the engagement party of Quincy and Horatio. But since I arrived, all I’ve seen is a lunatic! Since when did the Ingram family become a charity house, even accepting a madwoman as a daughter–in–law? If I’m not mistaken, you already have two grandsons!”
