Chapter 445 Please Spare Quincy

At Calista’s order, Quintus chuckled and replied, “Yes, Ms. Calista. I’ll ensure she won’t be able to utter at single word.” 

Upon seeing that Quintus was serious, Yelena began screaming while shielding her head, “Have you no shame, Calista? Do you want the entire world to know how ruthless you are?” 

With a smile, Calista motioned for Quintus to step back. Then, she teased her by saying, “If the price of fame is to respond to hostility with kindness, I’d rather remain obscure.” 

Yelena’s face was pale, but after over a decade of oppression, she could still stand up to Calista even when she was suppressed to that extent. 

She shouted fearlessly, “I am your stepmother! I’m a cleaner here, but you sit here and eat like royalty! Aren’t you afraid of the world’s condemnation?” 

Calista grinned wickedly. “You’re right. It’s a bit inappropriate that you work here while I dine here. But don’t worry. You’ll soon be let go, and this issue will cease to exist. 

That was the veritable truth. Not only had the manager rushed over, but even the boss made an appearance, gritting his teeth in frustration as he looked at Yelena. If it weren’t because Calista was still talking to her, she would have been thrown out long ago. 

Yelena looked back at the crowd, her voice trembling. 

“You’re so heartless! After all the trouble I went through to find a job, and with everyone watching, you want to back me into a corner? You won’t even leave me a lifeline? What’s the point of me living, then? I might as well drop dead right before your eyes!” 

The moment she threatened suicide, a ripple of unease spread through the crowd. The boss and staff, in particular, were so terrified that their faces drained of all color. Yet, Calista merely watched her with a 

smile. 

“That’d be easy. Just bang your head against that pillar. Please don’t stop her, ladies and gentlemen. If she dies, I’ll take the blame.” 

Her words left Yelena as pale as a sheet. Facing off Calista, who was impervious to all forms of persuasion and manipulation, one wrong move could be fatal

Kallum’s brows furrowed. He cut the foie gras into small pieces and fed a piece to Calista, murmuring, “That’s about enough. We wouldn’t want to spoil your appetite.” 

Calista nodded. She looked at Yelena’smilingly. 

Only after she had swallowed the foie gras did she say, “Go ahead.” 

Yelena burst into tears at the top of her lungs. “This is outrageous! The heartless Calista is pushing her stepmother to death!” 

Kallum fed Calista another bite of food, looking at her in exasperation. 

“It’s too noisy,”

She waited until Yelena had finished wailing before asking, “You didn’t even get to see Quincy, did you?” 

Taken aback, the weeping Yelena paused momentarily. 

Calista continued, “I heard that Quincy is currently seeking the favor of a tycoon from Sunmerbank. She probably doesn’t have time for you. How about this? I’ll take you to see her. I’m sure once that tycoon finds out she’s still involved with you, he will definitely cut ties with her. Quintus, take her to see Quincy.” 

“Yes, Ms. Calista!” 

As soon as Quintus moved, Yelena, who was in a daze, let out a yelp and clung to the nearby table. 

“No! I’m not going! I’m not going to see her! I’m not going!” 

If I were to ruin Quincy’s relationship, she would despise me even more! 

Seeing her all fearless and serious, Calista could only shake her head and sigh. 

“If you don’t go, it puts me in a difficult position. After all, you ruined my dinner. I need to punish you in some way. Otherwise, people might think I’m a pushover. What should I do?” 

By then, Yelena was eating out of Calista’s hand. Just a few words had her in a state of panic. Crying, she pleaded for mercy. This time, her tears were genuine. 

“Please don’t take me there! I beg you…. please spare Quincy!” 

“Spare her?” Calista shook her head. “She’s living the high life. Plus, you kept parading yourself in front of me. Every time I see you, I feel like venting it on her. What do you suggest I do?” 

“I… I’ll leave right away! I promise to never appear in front of you again…” Yelena started crying, a genuine display of her vulnerability and helplessness instead of an act. 

At that moment, Calista found herself suddenly annoyed with her. She dismissed her with a wave of her hand. “Remember what you said. If I see you again, I’ll crush Quincy. It so happens that I have some score to settle with her anyway.” 

“I’m leaving! I’m leaving right now!” 

After Yelena said that, she scampered off. 

Noticing that Calista seemed to be in a bad mood, those who came over to greet her tactfully left their business cards without disturbing her further. 

Kallum also sensed that something was off with her. He quickly asked, “What’s wrong?” Recalling her importunate stepmother, he added, “Did she do something to upset you just now?” 

Calista shook her head. “What can she possibly do to upset me? So long as I pose a threat to Quincy, she would even lick my shoes if I asked it of her. She’s ruthless to outsiders, but she’s genuinely good to Quincy. Unfortunately, Quincy doesn’t care for her anymore. Hmph! I guess that’s karma. 

Knowing she was thinking of herself, Kallum couldn’t help but console, “Don’t overthink it. Even the worst people have a good side. But as long as Yelena targets you with the evil side of her, she doesn’t deserve your forgiveness. If you really find those people unbearable, I’ll drive them all away for you

Calista shook her head, a cold laugh escaping her lips. “Let them be. They pose no threat to me now, and

most of my enemies are already dead.” 

That was indeed true.

Mirabelle had long since learned to keep a low profile, not to mention Quincy, who would hide at the mere mention of Calista’s name. Yelena, once such an arrogant individual, was then working as a lowly cleaner. Sterling and Harvey were dead, while Horatio had been sentenced to life imprisonment. As for the others… they didn’t matter anymore.
