Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 269

Regina immediately became anxious. She clutched George's sleeve and asked in an urgent manner, “What should we do now? Mr. Kallum was fine tonight, wasn't he? The Fairchild family shouldn't do anything to us, right?”

George's face darkened. “How can they not retaliate? The Fairchild family wants to suppress the rumors, but you went and did something like this! What happens to our family next is now up to fate!”

He muttered in frustration, “No, I can't just be passive! I can't let the Yost family be ruined in my hands!”

George's words suddenly struck a chord with Regina. She stopped crying abruptly, her expression turning peculiar as she said, “Maybe it is not just rumors...”

Seizing this as a lifeline, she glanced at the driver, lowered her voice, and whispered in George's ear, “There might really be something off with Mr. Kallum. After I touched that water today, I tested it with a test strip, and it changed color. That was not pure water! This means that Mr. Kallum's blood test tonight was off!”

George had been anxiously thinking of ways to regain the Fairchild family's favor—or at least not be their enemy. Suddenly, a gleam appeared in his eyes after he heard Regina's words.

“You mean Harvey's suspicions were correct? Kallum is really...”

Regina nodded. “Unfortunately, I could not bring the evidence out, but it is true. The water Mr. Kallum used for his blood test was tampered with. If he was not infected, why would he need to do this?”

George covered her mouth to stop her from speaking further. This matter was too significant! If they had evidence of this, it would be a massive blow to the Fairchild family!

His mind was in utter chaos. For a moment, he could not decide whether to be worried or elated. He knew he needed to go back and think things through. Perhaps he could use this to his advantage, to deter the Fairchilds from making a move against him...

Just then, his phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, George frowned. Why is Harvey so persistent? The Wolford family had already harmed my family this much, and now Harvey is calling me? We are not even close!

But given the situation, he also wanted to know what Harvey wanted.

“Harvey? You still dare to call?”

George's tone was harsh, making Harvey grit his teeth. Although they weren't affiliated, George had always been respectful in public. Now he could call him by name in a brazen manner and speak condescendingly!

But now was not the time to dwell on this. Harvey swallowed his resentment and said hoarsely, “Why wouldn't I dare? Your woman could not even handle a simple task and got caught. That's her stupidity, not my problem.”

His words angered George, but the latter also thought Regina was foolish. However, her success was already a considerable achievement.

After a couple of peaceful days, suddenly, a piece of news came in, shattering the tranquility with a vengeance.

K Virus patient found in Horington!

The news caused a nationwide uproar! Chanaea had stringent disease control measures, so as soon as a few K Virus patients were identified, they were immediately isolated. Shockingly, these individuals had all attended the Fairchild family banquet a few days prior.

Rumors quickly spread throughout Horington, a densely populated metropolis. The mere mention of the K Virus sent the city into a panic. In smaller towns, it might have led to a full lockdown.

A couple in the news agency discussed the news in a nervous manner.

“Did you hear? Several people who attended the Fairchild family banquet contracted the K Virus!”

“That's terrifying. How did this virus get into the country?”

“Who knows? But the most suspicious party is the Fairchild family. And let's not forget about Calista, who not only researches the K Virus but also just returned from Corleon.”
