Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 258

On the surface, no one would dare have any objections.

“Now that there aren't any, I just want to reiterate that how can Mr. Kallum not be fine when he's standing right here?”

Someone chuckled and hastily said, “Exactly, those suspicious folks were up to no good from the very beginning!”

Compared to these Monday morning quarterbacks, those who were hoping for the downfall of the Fairchild family looked rather upset. In fact, there was no need for a blood test, as most of them had already believed Kallum's words. As the K virus was lethal, even if Kallum had tried every possible means to prolong his life, it was impossible for him to look as if nothing had happened after a month. It was now clear to them that he was truly very fortunate.

Just as the small bowl was about to be removed, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

A woman was forcefully shoved, causing her to stumble forward and crash into the housekeeper who was about to leave with the bowl. The impact was so severe that all the water in the small bowl was spilled.

Calista's pupils slightly constricted, silently locking eyes with Kallum.

The housekeeper kept apologizing incessantly, while the woman who had been shoved wore a curious expression. She shouted angrily, “Who was it? Who pushed me on purpose?”

Many people rushed to assist her, yet not a single person claimed to have seen who was responsible.

Kallum's face darkened as he waved his hand, and the soaked carpet was promptly replaced. Most people were oblivious to the implications of this incident, but Calista knew just how serious this matter was.

The banquet carried on as usual, while Kallum and Calista stepped away from the crowd, their expressions somewhat grim.

“Has the carpet been taken care of?” Kallum quietly asked Quintus.

“It's been taken care of. The lady who fell didn't know who bumped into her. She had already changed out of her drenched clothes, but we noticed that a small piece of fabric was torn from the corner of her garment. When asked, she didn't know when it got torn.”

“It seems we're being targeted, but we don't know by whom though...”

Calista felt a wave of frustration, her brows furrowing. She had tampered with the water just now and if someone were to get their hands on it for testing, things could get complicated.

“They couldn't have taken anything.” Kallum asked Paul in a deep voice, “Has anyone left the premises earlier than expected?”

The butler responded, “No, everyone is still in the banquet hall.”

“Just because they were in the dining hall doesn't mean they didn't spread the news. Even if they didn't take anything for analysis, we might have already been exposed.”

Kallum suddenly squinted his eyes. “Who was the first to help that woman when she fell just now?”

Someone recalled, then stated, “It was Mrs. Yost.”

Regina was somewhat bewildered. “What have you learned? You haven't even answered my question yet!”

However, before she could finish her sentence, Harvey had already hung up the phone.

The flustered Regina called again but received a notification saying that the line was engaged.

However, judging by Harvey's tone, regardless of what he had learned, it was clearly something detrimental to the Fairchild family.

Her expression transformed from fear to determination. In contrast to Harvey's desperation, Regina was merely seeking revenge for her daughter. So, when Harvey sought her out, she agreed without hesitation despite the danger, as she knew that this was her only chance.

Thinking about the imminent downfall of the Fairchild family, a somewhat sinister smile crept onto Regina's ordinary-looking face.

“Kallum, Calista, for harming my daughter, you must pay the price!”

However, her moment of triumph was short-lived. As soon as she turned around, she came face-to-face with the stern-looking Paul. He cast a glance at her, his voice laced with disdain as he spoke.

“Mrs. Yost, I presume? This way, please. Ms. Calista has something to discuss with you.”
