Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 79

Hans was furious when he realized she was still smiling.

“Benedict! Get out now – I think Calista is not going to repent for as long as you are around. She’s so immature, so her uncle here has to teach her a thing or two!”

Benedict looked worriedly at Calista, but Calista was also getting angry and wanted Benedict to go out too.

She couldn’t stand watching her father suffer this sort of humiliation any longer. This humiliation was not just directed at Benedict, but at the entire Stafford family!

“You’re still sitting here?!”

Hans used his commanding voice as if he was of a higher position than others, and Benedict had no choice but to go out. The moment he walked out, the faces of the Langley family members that looked ‘friendly’ earlier immediately changed.

“Calista, you’re in university already, but you don’t even understand basic things like being respectful and being grateful! Where did all your years of studying go?!” Hans glared at her while shouting in a high voice.

Calista finally experienced that feeling of being humiliated that she had felt before. Every time they came to the Langley residence, the Langleys would drag her and her father aside to ridicule them and put them down. This feeling was so familiar to her!

“Exactly,” Joanna snorted. “Everything that you’ve eaten and drunk was given to you by Yelena! You think that father of yours is so capable? The Staffords’ business would have failed in his hands by now! The reason why it’s still surviving is because of Yelena! Because of the Langleys!”

What she was implying was that she was merely a dog that the Langleys took care of out of their own convenience.

Hans laughed coldly, “You think his daughter doesn’t know how much her own father is really able to achieve on his own? He just looks good on the surface! In actual fact, Yelena is in charge of both the home and the office, but you’ve created extra trouble for Yelena! Looks like you’re not just unfilial and ungrateful, but you’re also a nasty and evil child!”

“Are you all done talking?”

Her icy voice suddenly cut through the agitated haranguing, and Calista slowly stood up.

The Langleys were completely shocked by this statement, and the hall immediately quietened down.

In the past, they would not stop until Calista was crying miserably from shame and apologizing profusely. But Calista was certainly not going to cry today. Her expression was completely cold, and she never wiped that irritating smile off her face.

Calista was smiling, but all who met her gaze could feel her fury.

The Langleys were the best at twisting the truth and saying shameless things.

Benedict had committed debauchery?

Yelena had set him up in order to hide the fact that she was pregnant with someone else’s child!

Back then, Benedict’s wife had just passed away from a difficult delivery, and the wife’s family had cut ties with the Staffords long ago. Benedict’s parents weren’t with him and all he had left was a helpless little baby girl, plus he wasn’t a guarded person and was easy to control, so he was the perfect choice for the Langleys to frame.

The Staffords went into a financial crisis?

But who created this crisis? It was the Langleys! In order to force Benedict to marry Yelena, the Langleys had created this crisis so that Benedict was completely helpless. Then Yelena appeared with this child and made a big show of saving his family business but took over half of the company shares in the process. After that Benedict ended up being grateful and courteous to the Langleys, and even brought up someone else’s child for free! They really played this game well.

Why did the last major investment from the Staffords fail?

Because the Wolfords interfered! In order to make sure that Yelena’s plan worked and to solidify Quincy’s position, the Wolfords came up with a disgusting scheme. Then Yelena had apparently gone to beg her family for money, but was she really trying to borrow money? Harvey was enjoying Yelena’s services for an entire month in that bungalow somewhere in the outskirts of Horington, wasn’t he?

Why was the head of the Langleys, Matthew, helping Yelena so much? It was to get benefits from Harvey!

Essentially, once they had Calista in their control, then if Kallum married her, the Langleys would benefit; if he didn’t, then Calista still had a pretty face they could use to their own benefit. Basically Calista had no way to take control of her own life!

The old man laughed hollowly when he saw that Calista did not react.

“Looks like she’s become ambitious now. She isn’t just ungrateful, but she even wants to turn around and bite her owner. Yelena, tell Benedict to leave Calista behind here and we’ll discipline her. I guarantee we’ll return him an obedient and mature young lady in less than a month.”

Yelena nodded and excitedly ran out.

A teacup landed and smashed right next to Calista’s foot. Hans couldn’t wait to beat her up himself.

“I told you to kneel, didn’t you hear me? You want to go bankrupt? I’ll help you!”

His words had finally agitated Calista, so she suddenly laughed, scanned the people in the room, then turned and walked out.

“Grab her!”

But Hans was too late. In order to quietly discipline the Staffords, there were only two people at the door, and the rest were elsewhere attending to guests.

They ran up to Calista and tried to grab her hand, and she immediately stopped smiling. Her frightening gaze sent chills down the spine of both of them.

“Get lost!!”

Those two words sounded murderous to them, and they felt like their hearts were being squeezed. They dared not to go any nearer to her and just watched her leave, unable to move.
