Chapter 447 Green With Envy

That aside, Yulissa, who was overly enthusiastic and insisted on helping her change, made Calista feel a bit 

uneasy

After Calista had, she emerged in a black halter gown adorned with countless tiny diamonds. The gown had a high slit on the side that reached her thigh, offering a glimpse of her long and slender legs as she moved. Even Yulissa felt as if she were about to drool. 

“Wow! You’re simply stunning! If Kallum were to see you, he’d definitely be riveted on the spot!” Yulissa stated confidently. 

Calista found her lower body and back chilly. The gown was indeed beautiful, but it was revealing, baring her legs, shoulders, and a great expanse of her gorgeous back, Her milky–white skin contrasted with the silver–black gown, creating an extreme allure and a sense of restrained beauty. 

“Was this gown really chosen by Kallum?” 

“Of course… Not

Yulissa stuck out her tongue, questioning her cousin’s taste in fashion. Admittedly, the gown Kallum chose was pretty. But that was mainly because Calista could pull off anything with her tall and slender figure. However, that gown that didn’t meet Yulissa’s aesthetic standards was already hidden away. The one Calista wore then was handpicked by her, a piece that could undoubtedly turn heads and make men swoon. 

Upon hearing that, Calista didn’t suspect anything and went out wearing the gown. 

The party that night was beyond lively. Other than numerous members of the Fairchild family’s board of directors, there were also many business partners. Even a significant number of political figures graced the event. It was indeed a gathering of the influential and distinguished. 

Initially, Calista felt a bit uncomfortable. But upon seeing women dressed even more daringly everywhere, she eased up. 

Most of the women who came that night were hell–bent on finding a wealthy husband. Kallum was naturally a target. If given the opportunity, they definitely wouldn’t let him slip away. But apart from him, there were many other options, so they’d rather make a mistake than miss out

At that moment, Kallum was engaged in conversation with an elderly man. The latter was one of the only three generals in Chanaea. They appeared to be enjoying their discussion immensely. 

That night, Kallum was particularly striking. He was dressed in a dark blue suit, his tall and upright figure making the outfit look incredibly stylish. His eyes, which resembled precious gems, crinkled slightly with a smile when he spoke to people, lending him an irresistible charm. 

His every casual gesture captured the undivided attention of the women around him. However, as soon as he caught sight of Calista, he was instantly taken aback. 

Calista had gathered her long hair up, securing it with a pearl hair clip. Her sensual attire and ascetic expression turned countless heads as she walked past. Some even nearly twisted their necks, trying to keep her in sight. 

Whoa! Is this the legendary Medical Genius? Not only is she incredibly accomplished at such a young age, but she’s also stunningly beautiful! How can we ordinary folks compete?

That was a bitter sentiment shared by all women.

Calista felt very uneasy under so many watchful gazes, but she was not one to easily show her emotions, thus remaining composed. 

She threw Kallum a wink. Only then did Kallum jolt back to his senses, his face flushing instantly. The next moment, a thought crossed his mind. His face turned even redder. But this time, it was out of fury. 

He strode over, removing his jacket and draping it right over Calista. His deep violet eyes seemed to be on the verge of spitting fire

“Who told you to dress like this?” 

He gritted his teeth, jealousy swamping him. Only I have the privilege to see such a sight usually, but now, these perverts have gotten a glimpse! How infuriating! 

Yulissa shrank back slightly. “Doesn’t it look good?” 

I just knew it was you

Kallum shot Yulissa a glare. Then, he helped Calista into her jacket, fastening each button securely. The men present heaved a sigh of regret, for they hadn’t had their fill of the view yet. 

At that moment, the general approached and said, “So, this is Ms. Stafford? Sure enough, she is as capable 

as any man.” 

Kallum made the introductions. “This is General Delgado.” 

Calista graciously extended a hand. “You flatter me, General Delgado.” 

“Good, good! When you two get married, I’ll definitely attend the wedding banquet!” 

Calista’s smile was somewhat stiff while Kallum promptly expressed his gratitude. “Rest assured that you will definitely be invited when the time comes? 

Following that, quite a few people came over to chat with Calista, separating the couple. 

That evening, Calista was undeniably the center of attention. Moreover, everyone found it far more enjoyable to engage with such a stunning beauty than those bald and plump men, not to mention that she was incredibly capable. 

Seeing Calista surrounded by people, Kallum went green with envy inwardly, his jealousy unbearable. Where are all these people looking? How I wish my jacket were long enough to wrap Calista up to her ankles! 

He was also surrounded by quite a crowd, most of them socialites. However, his eyes were fixed on the people around Calista, and he exuded an aura of displeasure. Those who initially wanted to chat longer with Calista felt a chill down their spines upon inadvertently catching a glimpse of Kallum’s gaze. They quickly wrapped up their conversations and slinked away. 

Relieved, Calista turned around, only to see Kallum. She couldn’t help but laugh. 

“You’re going to scare away the guests by acting like this.” 

Kallum excused himself from the people around him and walked over to her. He took her hand into his, his expression finally easing. “If they don’t even have this much discernment, they might as well not come

before me.” 

His smug and arrogant look made Calista burst into laughter. 

Her smile at that moment was quite different from before. The sudden blossoming of it was like fireworks in the dark or a fleeting fragrance that left one uncontrollably fascinated.
