Chapter 232 Something To Hide 

It appeared that the onlookers also harbored suspicions that the Fairchild family was attempting to conceal something significant. The swift manner in which they dealt with the disruptor, Warrick, seemed to confirm their suspicions. Is this not a sign that they indeed have secrets to hide? 

The bystanders felt powerless; they could do nothing but observe as Warrick was forcibly removed, his protests echoing loudly through the hall. 

“Wait!” Warrick’s voice carried a palpable sense of urgency as he continued to shout. “Mr. Kallum, you owe everyone an explanation! Just clarify your sudden change of heart toward Calista! Tell us, and we’ll believe there’s nothing dubious going on between you two!” 

Kallum couldn’t help but find the whole situation rather amusing. He looked over the crowd with a faint smirk, raising an eyebrow as he asked sarcastically, “So, you all believe I owe you an explanation?” 

The crowd, caught off guard, quickly shook their heads, though internally many disagreed. On the surface, however, they aligned with Kallum’s perspective. 

“Of course, we’ve always trusted you! That Warrick was clearly just trying to cause trouble.” 

Some began to vocally affirm their loyalty, though their true thoughts remained hidden. 

“Absolutely, absolutely. And as for your newfound affection for Ms. Stafford… well, she certainly has her charms. But that’s a personal matter, isn’t it?” 

Yet, even as they said this, their eyes couldn’t help but dart curiously toward Calista. 

The dramatic shift in Kallum’s behavior toward Calista, as well as her unexpected decision to research the K Virus in Corleon, had certainly raised eyebrows. 

Moreover, Calista’s known brilliance in medical research only added to the speculation. Could she really have discovered a way to swiftly conceal Kallum’s symptoms or even prolong his life dramatically? 

Even if Kallum were to pass away, as long as it wasn’t from an illness, it likely wouldn’t cause much of a stir. However, if it came to light that he had contracted a disease and chose to treat it secretly, risking public safety, it would plunge the Fairchild family into a severe crisis of credibility. 

The atmosphere in the room was charged with tension, the underlying currents of unrest palpable event after Warrick had been expelled. 

Amid this chaos, Calista and Kallum exchanged glances, signaling that it was time to unveil the explanations they had meticulously prepared. 

Suddenly, Calista grasped Kallum’s hand, her laughter ringing softly in the air. “I never imagined everyone would be so curious about me. Since that’s the case, it seems only fair that I don’t keep secrets anymore.” 

The crowd’s attention sharpened, a collective breath held in anticipation. Are they about to reveal some shocking secrets? 

Calista motioned to silence the music and stood confidently beside Kallum, who relaxed visibly at her touch. “Do you want to know why Kallum’s feelings for me changed? Why he suddenly began to treat me

touch his heart…” 

A hush fell over the room. What? Kallum and Calista are in love with each other? That seems far–fetched; surely, this is a facade to cover the real truth! 

Regardless of the stir below, Calista continued, her voice calm and clear, “He didn’t care for me initially because of a misunderstanding. After some time, I stepped back and was adopted into the Fairchild family. We e spent a great deal of time together, which cleared up any misunderstandings. Eventually, my persistent affection reached him, and he began to accept me. It’s rare to find someone who can continue loving another for so long as I have…” 

Though it was all an act, something genuine seemed to stir within Kallum as Calista’s fingers interlaced with his, her subtle fragrance enveloping them. Kallum’s expression softened, a small, almost 

imperceptible smile forming on his lips. Unbeknownst to him, there was a noticeable sparkle in his eyes as he looked at Calista. 

Surprisingly, many of the women in the room started to believe the narrative. Could it be true that Mr. Kallum has indeed fallen in love? 

This new understanding evoked a mix of envy and admiration. 

Calista, noting the change in Kallum’s eyes, felt a rush of satisfaction. With a poised smile, she explained further. “When we confirmed our feelings for each other, I had just recently become the Fairchilds‘ goddaughter. It wasn’t the right time to announce our changed relationship. Plus, I’m still quite young, so we opted to keep this a secret for now and planned to talk about it openly in a few years. I didn’t anticipate it would lead to such misunderstandings.. 

Her voice carried a hint of frustration as she continued, “My fascination with the K Virus stems from a deep–seated curiosity. I believe every genius possesses a relentless spirit. Faced with some of the world’s most daunting challenges, the toughest viruses naturally spark my interest. That’s what drew me to Corleon.
