Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 449

Calista raised an eyebrow slightly. “You said Kallum went to a room with a woman?”

“Yes, yes! But I believe he must be innocent. That woman must have done something to him!” Yulissa said.

Calista looked at her with a half-smile. “Kallum is a cautious man. It's usually difficult for people with ulterior motives to get close to him. I reckon that woman is someone he knows, so he'll be fine. Just stay calm.”

Yulissa's eyes widened in disbelief. Her fiancé has gone into a room with another woman, yet she's asking me to stay calm! Did I hear her right?

She silently swallowed her rage, clutching onto Calista's gown. “That woman doesn't look like good news at all. She's heavily made-up and all seductive. I'm worried sick about Kallum... Shall we go and check on him?”

With her wine glass in hand, a soft laugh escaped Calista. Her black gown was undeniably sexy, yet it emanated an icy chill when worn by her, just like the color black itself, mysterious and dangerous.

“Don't worry. Kallum isn't someone who's easily set up by others... If we rush over there, I'm afraid we might disrupt him from catching up with an old friend... So, I'm not going.”

Kallum ended up caving in to Yulissa. But the moment he swallowed the pill, a pang of regret hit him because he understood Calista and vice versa.

It's uncertain whether she would be taken in by Yulissa or if she would even come. If she doesn't come...

A surge of heat welled up from within him, causing him to let out a stifled grunt, his voice low and seductive. His vision gradually blurred. All that were signs that the aphrodisiac was taking effect.

“Mr. Kallum... how about I tie your hands behind your back?” Marsha cautiously asked, staring at him intently and swallowing.

That was also one of Yulissa's outrageous schemes. She intended to immobilize Kallum, feed him a potent aphrodisiac, and fabricate a scenario where he appeared to be set up and taken advantage of. Then, she would have Calista come over to play damsel in shining armor.

When Calista arrived, they would quickly lock the door. In a situation where the aphrodisiac had no cure save for having sex, they didn't believe Calista would stand by and let Kallum suffer all night.

Moreover, even if Calista did nothing, it wouldn't matter. They would only pretend to tie him up. When the time was right, Kallum could free himself and pounce on her to get the deed done.

Strictly speaking, the plan was flawless. However, Yulissa failed to consider the slim chance of Kallum being set up in his own home, something Calista was well aware of.

Seeing that Calista refused to go and check on Kallum, Yulissa was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof and continued persuading her.

That was why she was so hesitant at that moment.

Yulissa used a mix of persuasion and coercion, only to see Calista staring at a single spot indifferently as if she hadn't heard a word she said. Seeing her doing so, Yulissa suddenly felt a pang of aggravation. It wasn't because she didn't get the top-notch sports car Kallum promised. Instead, she felt aggrieved on behalf of her cousin.

She could see how the outstanding man loved Calista wholeheartedly, his thoughtfulness and care in every possible way.

However, the same couldn't be said of Calista. She didn't seem to care about Kallum at all.

In his pursuit of her, Kallum was even willing to try something as foolish as taking an aphrodisiac. He would never have resorted to such a measure if he weren't desperate. He loves her deeply, yet she remains indifferent throughout it all. He deserves better!

“You actually don't care about Kallum at all, do you?” In a corner of the party, Yulissa's expression suddenly turned icy. “Otherwise, why are you still unmoved when I've persuaded you for so long?”

Calista turned to look at her, her starry eyes shimmering with fragmented light, making it difficult for anyone to discern the emotions within.
