Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 242

“All right... Let's talk in the living room then,” Quincy hesitantly agreed, subtly glancing at Yelena.

Benedict was oblivious to the underlying tension between the two women and cheerfully guided Yelena aside. Once Benedict was out of sight, the strained smile on Quincy's face faded away.

“Speak up! What is it that you want to say?” Quincy was perched on the couch, legs crossed, her hand subconsciously reaching into her pocket before halting midway. Calista surmised that she must have developed a smoking habit. After all, abroad, even some drugs were commonplace, much less smoking.

Calista didn't point out the obvious and took a seat on the couch to Quincy's left, chuckling lightly. “Actually, I can totally relate to how you're feeling right now. Do you feel like everyone is revolving around me, and all the good things are falling into my lap? Even though we both carry the surname Stafford, our situations couldn't be more different, could they?”

Quincy stared at her with somewhat vacant eyes. “Isn't that the case?”

Her demeanor gradually became more subdued, and in the end, she glared at Calista like a venomous snake. That was a stark contrast to how she was when Benedict was around!

Quincy spat, “Did you come here to gloat? You b*tch, you stole everything from me! You were the reason I was disgraced and expelled from school. Now, you've successfully won over Mr. Kallum and become the most esteemed woman in the city. Are you pleased with yourself?”

Calista, however, continued Quincy's words. “Meanwhile, you have to make a living from those people you looked down upon.”

Calista looked at her with a hint of sympathy. “You disdain the identity of Ms. Stafford, thinking it's beneath you. You scorn Benedict, yet you're forced to appease him, for without him, even this lowly status would be beyond your grasp. Also, you look down on Yelena. Despite her wholehearted good intentions toward you, you still see her as petty. Everything you've ever wanted, everything you value, is now in my hands. You're envious of me, wishing you could replace me, isn't that right?”

Quincy gritted her teeth, maintaining a semblance of rationality. She knew she couldn't yell at Calista while Benedict was present. Yet, what Calista had just said left her so infuriated that she could barely breathe!

“If you're talking to me just to humiliate me, then we have nothing more to discuss! You b*tch, you'd better keep enjoying this while you can...” The look in Quincy's eyes seemingly oozed with venom.

If given the chance, she would have definitely crushed Calista when she was at her lowest!

Seeing that Quincy wanted to leave, Calista slightly grinned and asked in a low, mysterious voice, “Don't you want to turn things around?”

Quincy paused while a hint of mischief lurked in Calista's smile.

Regardless of what was going on in Quincy's mind, Calista continued to speak. “Indeed, you are Harvey's biological daughter. This is something I was informed about by Kallum.”

Quincy's eyes suddenly brightened a bit. After all, Kallum represented authority! So, she believed he couldn't possibly lie!

However, there was something that popped into Quincy's mind.

“It can't be.” Quincy's voice wavered between excitement and calm. “If what you're saying is true, there's no way my mother wouldn't have told me. Calista, are you concocting this scheme just to get at me?”

Calista chuckled lightly, her lips pursed. “Yelena kept you in the dark wasn't because she didn't want to tell you. It was Harvey who forbade her. He didn't like Yelena, so naturally, he had no expectations for you. Yelena, being too obedient, didn't dare to defy him. That's why she ended up marrying you off to Benedict. Otherwise, why do you think someone as strong-willed as Yelena would choose a man like Benedict in the first place?”

Quincy was getting restless. She believed that Calista had no reason to lie as she could simply ask Yelena about it to know the truth.

Precisely because of that, Quincy was ready to take action! If what Calista said was true, if she were indeed the daughter of the prestigious Wolford family, then everything would change!
