Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 166

The thought of being expelled sent Quincy into a frenzy of destruction. I've already started my education late. Am I now expected to retake and re-sit the exams? I doubt I could even pass them! Why is it that at the same age of eighteen, I have to repeat a year to prepare for my university entrance exam, while Calista can skip several grades to pursue her combined master's and doctoral program? A genius? What a remarkable genius!

This time, Yelena did not bother with Benedict. She didn't see the point of behaving subserviently to gain favor when her only daughter had suffered such a blow. It would be better to comfort her daughter, lest she be so devastated that she couldn't recover.

“Quincy, don't be upset! If you don't go to Bayview University, you can go somewhere else. There are plenty of good universities out there. We're not short—”

Quincy simply couldn't keep her cool. Right in front of Yelena, she flipped the entire dressing table. “What's the point of my existence? In a few years, Calista will be seen as a genius in everyone's eyes! I'm being overshadowed to the point of insignificance! Even Dad supports Calista, and Granddad won't back me up! I'm nothing but a joke!”

The sound of shattering echoed, scattering debris all over the floor. With a heart filled with distress, Yelena embraced her daughter tightly. “Don't be upset. Don't be upset. You still have me!”

“What good are you?” Tears welled up in Quincy's eyes. “I want Calista dead! Can you help me kill someone?”

The more Quincy thought about it, the more desperate she felt. The mocking gazes of those at the school were still vivid in her mind. She feared she had already become the laughingstock of the entire Horington.

“Quincy... How about this? You should study abroad!” Yelena suddenly suggested, and the more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. “Calista is now favored in the Fairchild family, and she's conceited. We shouldn't confront her head-on. Give it some time. Mr. Kallum might grow tired of her. We can deal with her by then. There's no rush.”

“You want me to flee to another country?” Quincy's voice was filled with disbelief. “What about Granddad? Is he just going to stand by and watch me get bullied?”

Seeing her emotional state, Yelena had no choice but to reveal the Langley family's plans to her.

“Remember when your granddad was publicly humiliated by Calista last time? There's no way he'd let that slide. But being the cautious man he is and with the Fairchild family watching his every move, he couldn't make any drastic moves. But given the chance, he'd surely make Calista pay!” Yelena said.

Quincy's mood instantly cooled down when she heard that Calista was going to be in trouble. However, her expression still held a hint of distortion.

“How much longer?” Quincy was growing impatient, eager to see Calista's unfortunate predicament.

Calista raised an eyebrow, drawing the attention of passing students who couldn't help but steal a few extra glances at her. She was looking at Benedict, surprised that he would go to school and make such an unexpected request of her.

“I believe the last person Quincy wants to see is probably me.”

Benedict was skeptical. His temples were streaked with white, and recently, the chaos of family affairs had truly left him in a state of distress. However, he still harbored a certain kind of innocence and hope against the odds. “Does a family hold grudges overnight? Both you and Quincy were at fault in the last incident. Can't we just let bygones be bygones?”

Calista scoffed, observing her father, who appeared both pitiful and naive. “Dad, constantly backing down doesn't always lead to harmony, and maintaining an appearance of peace doesn't make everything fine. The moment I crashed the Langley family's wedding banquet, my ties with Quincy and Yelena were severed. We're no longer one family.”

Upon noticing Benedict's furrowed brows, as if he were about to lecture again, Calista added in a rather cold-blooded manner, “You don't need to feel indignant on their behalf. In their hearts, they only see the Langley family as their family. Do you really believe they value you that much? You're just deluding yourself. When push comes to shove, they'll sacrifice you for their family without a second thought, and they won't feel a shred of guilt.”

When Calista pointed it out so bluntly, Benedict's face couldn't help but fall. “Callie! Why do you always think the worst of them? There's a big misunderstanding between you guys! Yelena watched you grow up. I believe she still...”
