Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 257

“I heard that Harvey was swearing in the hospital about not letting the Fairchild family off the hook, nor would he spare Calista. It's uncertain what he might do.”

“What else can he do? Even at the height of his power, he wasn't a match for the Fairchild family. Now... let's just say he's been cornered, and he's starting to act out of desperation!”

They weren't the only ones discussing the affairs of the Wolford family, as others were also talking about it. After all, it was no small matter. Of course, another topic that had everyone buzzing with excitement was about Yelena and Quincy.

Wealthy people often lived life in the fast lane, but few were as extreme as Harvey. He treated the illegitimate daughter of a minor family as if she were a mere plaything, disregarding her humanity. Such a man was met with disdain from many women.

However, what shocked people even more was Yelena's actions. Many high-society ladies commented that if they were in Yelena's shoes, they would have ended their own life! To them, living like that was nothing short of a disgrace. Furthermore, those who were once close with Yelena now wished they had never known her. It was one thing for a woman to climb the social ladder as long as the unscrupulous methods she used remained unknown, but once they came to light, it would immediately become public knowledge in high society.

After the incident occurred, the reporters didn't go into detail, primarily out of respect for the Fairchild family and consideration for Benedict's reputation. However, the shocking secret revealed by Calista that day still caused a sensation throughout the entire city of Horington.

Yelena and Quincy were probably too embarrassed to show their faces in public again after that incident.

“He's here! Mr. Kallum has arrived!”

It was unclear who had called out, but Silas and Wanda, went over to greet their son with a smile. They knew for certain that someone would be adamant in causing a fuss, so they had to brace themselves for it.

“Dad, Mom,” Kallum casually greeted, then gave a slight nod toward the person next to them.

Many people came to congratulate Kallum. Seeing him still so spirited a month later and that he didn't look like a sick man at all, their expressions became significantly more genuine.

Once everyone had exchanged greetings, the visiting individuals, with smiles on their faces, approached while holding their drinks. Behind them, some people were jotting down notes in small notebooks. Using recording devices wasn't an option, so they had to resort to this traditional method of conducting interviews.

“Mr. Kallum, have you truly made a complete recovery?” asked a female reporter with a notably sharp face and a wide grin. “Pardon my frankness, but this is probably the question on everyone's mind tonight.”

Kallum had summoned them in order to quell the circulating rumors. Thus, he raised his chin slightly, responding with an air of arrogance.

“Of course, it's merely the K virus, hardly something to be afraid of.”

The other reporters broke into laughter. “Indeed, Mr. Kallum, you're no ordinary man, so you naturally have nothing to fear. But there are always some particularly timid folks around. I wonder how you plan to silence these scaredy-cats?”

Kallum changed the topic. “However, to ease some people's worries and to prevent any annoying rumors from spreading, I will publicly undergo a blood test today. I hope that from this day forward, the matter of the K virus will be completely resolved.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone brought over a bowl, half-filled with water. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Calista used a syringe to collect a few drops of blood from Kallum. She then dripped the blood into the water, before pulling out an object that resembled a pen.

“I'm sure everyone is familiar with the infectious disease detector. All it takes is to dip its tip into a blood sample, and it can diagnose whether the blood contains any infectious viruses.”

Everyone knew about the infectious disease detector. Besides the K-virus, there were many other contagious diseases in everyday life. Hence, most households would keep such a device at home. If the device lit up red, it indicated that the blood was infectious. If it lit up green, then the blood was normal.

Seeing that everyone had understood, Calista said seriously, “Now, please make sure you understand the test results. In the future, we don't want to hear any speculation about the K virus.”

With that, everyone's gaze was fixed on Calista's hand. They watched as she dipped the tip of the test kit into the bowl. As expected, the test kit lit up with a green light.

Upon witnessing the scene, Calista silently breathed a sigh of relief. Noticing the various expressions of the guests below, she asked with a smile, “Now, does anyone still have any doubts?”
