Chapter 82 Tearing Up The Contract

–

Calista’s words left Yelena battered all over every statement from Calista was peeling a layer of skin off her face, making her face sting with pain, and she really wanted to hide herself in a hole now.

“Such audacity!” Matthew heard the report from his servant and ran over to the main hall even though he wasn’t done changing. Rage was written all over his face.

“Do you think I’m dead? How dare you say such things in my own house!”

Matthew was followed closely by Hans, who lifted his hand to slap Wyatt, but didn’t slap him in the end.

“What’s wr

with you? You let someone bully your aunt like that?!”

Wyatt had seen enough to know what sort of person Yelena really was, and suddenly he felt deep disappointment in his family. His expression grew complex as he asked in a soft voice, “Isn’t Calista my cousin?”

What cr*p cousin is this! Hans wanted to shout this at his son, but since there were so many people watching, he gave a deep scowl but did not say anything in response.

Yelena saw that her father and brother were here, so she quickly put on a pitiful face and ran to hide behind them. There was a strange expression on the guests faces – Calista had silenced Yelena with just a few words, and it didn’t take a genius to know who was lying and who the real victim was. But now Yelena was still trying to act pitiful, putting on a great act to fool everyone.

Benedict pulled Calista behind him. He used to have complete trust in Yelena because he had felt guilty towards her and was grateful to the Langleys for helping him, but that didn’t mean he could allow Yelena to bully his daughter! Or allow the Langleys to humiliate the Staffords like this! He hadn’t married into the Langley family for crying out loud!

Matthew threw a nasty stare at Calista, and then smiled coldly at Benedict.

“Benedict, it’s ok if your daughter is just behaving immaturely since she’s young. I won’t chide her over it. But now she’s actually hit someone in public, so who knows, she might murder someone next? You’d better leave her here for the Langleys to teach her how to behave!”

Benedict ignored this statement, instead he asked, “Is what Callie said true? If she doesn’t listen to you, then you’d bankrupt the Staffords?”

He had a could

getting a divorce, but he would not tolerate others stepping all over the Staffords.

Matthew’s face tensed up and he used his walking stick to pound the floor.

“Nonsense! Why would I have said anything like that? This child must be lying!”

Calista lifted her exquisite face and immediately retorted.

“Then can you swear that the Langleys will never do the Staffords any harm for as long as you’re alive? And that if you break your promise, then all the Langleys will die horribly?”

“You’re outrageous!” Matthew became furious upon hearing this, pounding the walking stick even harder.

Chapter 82 Tearing Up The Contract

Calista dodged his hand easily, and continued in a cold voice, “The Staffords slipped into a financial crisis under very suspicious circumstances, but since that happened so long ago I’ll not talk about it. Let’s talk about what happened after the Langleys came out to help the Staffords – my father tried to return the money he borrowed from you but you didn’t want cash. Why did you insist on taking half of my father’s shares instead?

So in this way you could get half the interest without doing anything? The Langleys say that they are charitable and loyal, but all of you are obviously leeches seizing the opportunity to suck us dry! My father agreed to your ridiculous request out of gratitude towards your family, but aren’t you afraid that someone would eventually expose all your dirty deeds? Or are the Langleys so poor that they have to rely on a son- in–law to survive?”

Matthew nearly spat blood out in front of all the friends and family of the Langleys. Calista’s words were. capable of murder, stabbing exactly where it hurt the most.

None of the guests expected that this was really what happened when the Langleys helped the Staffords back then, that they had asked for so much in return for their help. And only someone as easily bullied as Benedict would have agreed. Nobody else would have agreed to as much as half of their shares!

Benedict didn’t know how to respond either. His personality was kind and weak, and he felt obligated to take care of Yelena for the rest of her life since she had helped him so much, let alone the fact that he had destroyed the rest of her life with his one act of drunkenness. So after the Langleys pressed him hard, he agreed in the heat of the moment

When he thought about it, he must have been really

“Nothing to say to that? It’s a bit difficult to investigate the issue with the medical drugs my family sold back then since it’s already been eighteen years. But since you can say so easily that you want to bankrupt the Staffords, could it be that you already did that back then? Looks like I have to get my fiancé to check this for me!”

Calista smiled viciously before spitting out that last sentence, causing all the Langleys‘ expressions change immediately.

Calista was threatening them now, and they were sure she must have found out something, or otherwise she wouldn’t be saying such things. It wasn’t really that hard to replace out about that incident where they had swapped the Staffords‘ drugs for problematic ones and even if the Staffords couldn’t get to the bottom of the matter, it didn’t mean the Fairchilds couldn’t

Matthew realized that everyone had reached the same conclusion, so he quickly decided to settle it and said, “Go

Contract! The one about the Stafford company shares!”

Everyone

hocked – he was going to take the contract out already?

It wasn’t because Matthew was nervous, but that Calista was simply too brilliant.

First she made a scene and caused everyone to lose faith in Yelena. Then she started talking about the. selling of shares so that everyone would think that the Langleys were a shady family that took advantage of others.

Lastly, she threatened them with what happened eighteen years ago. Kallum was now interested in her, so if he interfered with this matter and confirmed everything the Langleys did back then, the Langleys were in danger of losing their reputation.

So it was better that he took out the contract now and appeased Calista, since there was no point in

pursuing this matter further. This way the Langleys could avoid the terrible possibility of their reputation going down the drain.

Indeed. Matthew was a very decisive man, even if it meant that he had to be at a disadvantage sometimes.

Hans was indignant, but he knew that they were up against a formidable enemy, so after some thought, he eventually went to get the contract.

Calista seemed rash at first, but she had actually had it all planned out! He had underestimated her.

Everyone exchanged glances, as if they were wondering if the Langleys were really generous enough to give up these shares.

After the contract was brought to him, Matthew explained, “I wanted those shares from your family because I was afraid that Benedict might mistreat my daughter, and I intended to return the shares once Quincy had grown up! I didn’t expect you to demand them from me now, but since you want them, you can have them back!”

Benedict started feeling anxious. The Langleys took out the contract so easily and didn’t seem to care, and it made him feel guilty was he being petty now?

–

But then Calista unexpectedly walked out and took out a copy of the same contract from her handbag- she was already prepared!

“Alright then. I, Calista, would like everyone here to be our witness! These two original copies of the contract will be torn right now, and the contract is considered invalid!”

Benedict was shocked! How did Callie know the passcode to his safe? How did she get her hands on this

contract!

But regardless of how shocked he was, or how indignant and stunned the Langleys were, the moment Calista tore up the contracts in front of everybody, it meant that this was a done deal.

And this wasn’t the end. After tearing up the contracts, Calista took out another contract from her bag with the words “Agreement for Transfer of Shares‘ written right on the front, and all the Langleys could see these words very clearly.

“So as to avoid future disputes, I will need the head of the Langleys to sign right here.”

Calista even took out a pen for Matthew to use.

Math

ow pushed to the edge. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her murderously.

“Young lady you’ve just gained the upper hand and you’re not going to show any pity? Aren’t you afraid that you might be left with nothing someday? You still want to go up against your in–laws?”
