Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 140

Kallum dared not touch Calista's wound. After all, he himself was also in grave danger. Yet, Calista's selfless protection of him sent tremors through his body and soul. Holding her, Kallum found himself somewhat at a loss.

At that moment, Quintus rushed over and was taken aback upon seeing Calista's condition.

“Mr. Kallum, perhaps it would be best if you handed Ms. Calista over to me. I'll take her to get bandaged up.”

Upon seeing Calista's evident discomfort, Kallum, albeit reluctantly, let her go. His heart was filled with a lingering sense of unwillingness. However, even after Calista had left, he remained. His chest was filled with pent-up rage that needed to be vented.

As the cries of alarm grew louder, many people who heard the commotion came out to see what was happening. When they arrived, they discovered that someone had fallen into the water. Yet, amidst all this, Kallum stood by the poolside, unmoving.

“Quick, save her!” Without a second thought, Wanda urged others to rescue the person.

“Who dares to make a move!” Kallum suddenly raised his voice in a furious shout. The anger he was suppressing seemed as if the person drowning in the water was his most despised enemy.

Under Kallum's intimidating presence, everyone around fell silent. Shockingly, they all just stood there, watching the girl flounder in the water. It was only when Mirabelle's parents recognized their daughter's voice that they let out a gasp and rushed over immediately.

“Mirabelle!”

Regina was just about to send someone to rescue her daughter, but her father coldly held her back. At that moment, he surprisingly asked Kallum with a respectful yet tense demeanor, “Mr. Kallum, I'm unsure of what my daughter has done to warrant such punishment from you?”

Kallum shot him a glance, the anger in his eyes making George shudder. He had dealt with Kallum before, but he had never seen that ever-superior man, actually having such a furious moment.

However, at that moment, his daughter's cries were growing fainter. Fear gripped his heart, yet he mustered the courage to ask, “My daughter can't swim. This could end in disaster! Mr. Kallum...”

“Right, Kallum...” Wanda also walked over, a hint of urgency in her voice. “How about we focus on rescuing her first?”

Kallum suddenly let out a cold, mocking laugh. “Fine, save her.”

Upon seeing him relent, everyone hurriedly scrambled to rescue Mirabelle. In no time, Mirabelle was sprawled on the edge of the swimming pool, gasping for breath. Her makeup was completely smeared, and she was crying hysterically while coughing up water. Her face was in such a state that it was almost unbearable to look at. Just as everyone was about to help Mirabelle up, Kallum suddenly stepped forward, blocking everyone from reaching her.

The expressions on the faces of the Yost family members changed drastically. Could it be that Kallum had a change of heart?

Mirabelle was also trembling.

Suddenly, she reached out and clutched onto Kallum's pants, her wrist trembling lightly. This time, she was truly fearful.

“Kal... no, Mr. Kallum! Mr. Kallum, I won't dare to do it again... cough, cough... I truly won't, considering our childhood friendship...”

“Given our history as childhood friends,” Kallum slowly pulled up his pants, his smile chilling. “I've decided to shorten your time in jail by a few days.”

“Jail?” The Yost family members' already tense expressions shifted instantly. What on earth had their daughter done to face imprisonment?

Kallum slightly lifted his refined chin, speaking slowly with his eyes half-closed.

“Just now, she tried to murder Callie right in front of me. That's attempted homicide. Mr. Yost, brace yourself for a lawyer's notice!”

After speaking, he couldn't bear to look at Mirabelle anymore. He strode away, the thought of Calista losing so much blood making him frantic with worry. The menacing aura that hung around him gradually dissipated. Even Ryder, who was following behind him, couldn't keep up.

Ryder was shocked, for it had been a long while since Kallum let his emotions show. Moreover, Kallum had blood on his hands, and his murderous aura was so intense that even he could hardly bear it. No wonder the guests were taken aback.
