Chapter 135 Persecution From Every Direction 

But it doesn’t seem like Mr. Kallum dislike her- 

“You don’t know that!” someone speculated maliciously. “Perhaps Mr. Kallum looked pleased today. because he finally got rid of her. That’s probably why he was being nice to her!” 

Kallum held tightly onto Calista as they walked toward their parents under the watchful eyes of the crowd. The scene was strikingly similar to a dream Calista had long ago. 

Why are you here? You’re not in good health. Didn’t I tell you to just show your face for a bit and then go rest?” Calista asked in a hushed tone. 

Kallum responded in a similar tone. “Others will hold you with greater esteem if I did so. The outsiders 

might not be a problem, but not the relatives. They can be quite annoying and hard to hand//tsiders 

Calista followed Kallum’s gaze and believed him. Although Kallum was Silas‘ only son, the other branch families had sons and daughters respectively, so they had long been eyeing the main family covetously. 

When Kallum hadn’t shown up, they looked at her with scrutiny and disdain as if questioning her value for Silas to view her with great importance. 

However, after Kallum arrived, their attitude became much more cautious. Even though Kallum was young, since taking over, he had proven to be even more assertive, wise, capable, and vibrant than Silas. He was acknowledged as the head of the family. Being favored by him naturally elevated Calista’s goddaughter status to new heights. 

All eyes were focused onstage, while the atmosphere was tense and chaotic offstage. Embarrassment crossed Yelena’s and Quincy’s expressions when they looked at Benedict beaming on stage. 

The Fairchild family had only invited Benedict up onstage, making it clear they didn’t want anyone else from the Stafford family involved. Moreover, Benedict also reaped the benefits from Calista’s sudden rise in status. That wasn’t good news for Yelena. 

“Mom! What has that b*tch ever done to deserve being a part of the Fairchilds?” 

Originally, Quincy was quite pleased when Kallum finally broke up–with Calista. Calista’s goddaughter status was likely of little importance, merely a compensation the Fairchild family gave to placate her. 

Contrary to expectations, the reality was entirely different. The Fairchild family had held such a grand party for Calista. Moreover, Kallum personally accompanied Calista, which was completely different from what she had imagined. 

Upon seeing Calista in all her glory, Quincy grounded her teeth in frustration, seething with envy. 

She’s the goddaughter of the Fairchild family! That’s far more glamorous than the lady of the Stafford family! 

Yelena said, “Isn’t it because her biological mother is close to Wanda?” Suddenly, she burst into laughter. “But this is good, though. Calista is now considered a member of the Fairchild family. As Calista’s sister, doesn’t this mean you can visit Fairchild Manor more? Now that Kallum is no longer engaged, you can win him over! Calista’s status as a goddaughter is nothing compared to you.”

Chapter 135 Persecution From Every Direction 

The Yost family shared a similar sentiment as them

ఉ 

Mirabelle’s features were twisted, but her mother was quite optimistic. “Well, that’s a relief. The d’mned engagement is finally broken off With my daughter’s excellence and closeness to Kallum, no one is more suited to be the lady of the Fairchild family than our Mirabelle!” 

However, Mirabelle’s father, George Yost, was quite rational

“That’s not necessarily the case. Mr. Kallum’s engagement has indeed been broken off, but have you ever considered the socialites, who had watched from the sidelines, are ready to take action? It might have been better when he’s engaged, given Mirabelle’s intelligence, she could’ve taken things step by step.” 

Glancing around, Mirabelle noticed that many eyes were indeed fixated on Kallum, their gazes sparkling with interest. 

Instantly, her mood plummeted. In her eyes, Calista was undoubtedly conniving. By being a part of the Fairchild family, she could gain an advantage by being in a favorable position. What a crafty plan indeed! 

Mirabelle’s mother, Regina, proposed, “Mirabelle, you could ask Kallum to dance with you later. It’s been quite some time since you last saw him. There might have been some misunderstandings between you two from someone’s instigation. You must seize the opportunity to clear things up!” 

Mirabelle nodded. “Don’t worry, Mom, I won’t let Calista succeed!” 

In the past. Kallum only had eyes for me. This will never change! 

Perhaps the happiest person in the room was Benedict. He had originally thought Calista couldn’t win Kallum’s affection and thus had their engagement called off. Yet, he didn’t expect her to be a part of the Fairchild family. Could there be a better outcome than that? 

Therefore, Benedict gave Calista a hearty pep talk, then cheerfully went to the drinks tables. Since his status had soared, he had found his confidence and was on cloud nine, exuding an air of triumph with every step he took

After making a grand introduction of Calista to everyone, the banquet reached a crescendo. Calista, while responding to the toasts of the crowd, spoke to Kallum. “Your health isn’t at its best right now, why don’t you get some rest?” 

How could Kallum just stand by and give others an opportunity to take advantage of pursuing Calista? 

“I feel fine.” 

In reality, he was experiencing a prickling sensation throughout his entire body, yet not a trace was reflected on his face. Instead, he looked quite enthusiastic. 

“It’s been a while since it’s been this lively. I’ll stay here a bit longer.” 

How can I possibly pass up the chance to dance the opening dance with her later?
