Chapter 297 Aiming For A Child
“It isn’t actually that dangerous,” Calista analyzed. “Since they choose to kill him by staging an accident, it shows that the person only dares to operate in the shadows. They’re not really a threat, so there’s no need to mobilize so many people.”
“Why shouldn’t I?” Kallum raised an eyebrow, stating firmly, “I won’t let anything disrupt our wedding!”
Calista couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re taking this so seriously, so I guess I have no choice but to aim for a child at the same time?”
Kallum also laughed. “That would be perfect!”
At that moment, Paul suddenly approached, speaking with a hint of hesitation.
“Mr. Kallum, Mr. Yost and his daughter are requesting to meet you.”
Kallum’s heart skipped a beat as he glanced at Calista somewhat uneasily. This is strange. I haven’t done anything wrong, so why am I feeling guilty?
Calista, however, said with great interest, “The Yost family? Perhaps they have to beg for mercy. Let them
in.”
Upon hearing Calista’s instructions, Paul promptly set off to carry them out. After all, everyone knew that Calista’s commands were essentially Kallum’s wishes.
“Callic, if you don’t want to meet them, you really don’t have to.”
With a huff, Kallum grudgingly added, “It’s not like they are anyone of importance.”
“No, I just wanted to see what Mirabelle has become after a year in prison.”
After all, there was nothing more satisfying than witnessing one’s adversary’s misfortune.
Before long, she caught sight of Mirabelle, gracefully adorned in a white dress. Considering the weather, it was quite a feat for the latter to wear such a thin dress. Mirabelle seemed unchanged from a year ago, which left Calista somewhat disappointed.
If Mirabelle knew what Calista was thinking, she would surely be livid.
Her life was anything but unchanged. In just over a year, the reputation she painstakingly built in the entertainment industry was ruined. After the scandal at school, she could no longer attend it. She had always aspired to marry into a prestigious family, but now, no one would ever marry a convicted felon, let alone the Fairchild family.
In the past, Mirabelle was a lady of high society, desired by many. However, she had fallen from grace, her current status barely a notch above Quincy.
“Kal” Mirabelle first gave Kallum a pitiful glance, then turned her attention to Calista. “Callie…”
Her father, George, also appeared distressed. “Mr. Kallum, Ms. Stafford, I’ve come with my daughter to apologize.”
He appeared considerably thinner, bearing the marks of a life filled with hardships. “We hope that you will

Silas was not at home, and Wanda had even less tolerance for them, so she didn’t show up. If it wasn’t for Calista’s request to see them, it was uncertain whether the Yost family would have even been allowed in..
With a scoff, Kallum said, “Don’t you think coming to apologize now is a little too late?”
George was immediately awash with embarrassment. They hadn’t even sat down yet, but Kallum’s intention to kick them out was crystal clear.
“Mr. Kallum, there might be a misunderstanding here. We have come with a sincere heart…”
Seeing that her words didn’t sway Kallum, Mirabelle darkened her gaze. However, she quickly shifted her attention to Calista and spoke.
“Callie… there are some things I’d like to discuss with you privately. Could you step out for a bit and let our father chat with Kal in private?”
“Whatever it is, you can say it here. I am her husband. There’s nothing I shouldn’t hear.”
Upon hearing that Mirabelle planned to spend time alone with Calista, Kallum was instantly reminded of the previous incident where Mirabelle smashed Calista with a stone. He instantly grew wary.
Mirabelle put on a look of hurt, but she didn’t back down. She was determined to see Calista today, no matter what.
“Callie, do you not want to know about your sister’s affairs?”
“Quincy?” Calista suddenly seemed interested. She pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and said, “Alright then, let’s go for a walk.”
“Callie?” Kallum held onto Calista’s hand, the disagreement on his face was telling. “I’m staying with you. After all, I don’t have anything to talk about with Mr. Yost.
“Mr. Kallum..” George pleaded, breaking into a cold sweat. “Please, grant me another chance. The Yost family sincerely wants to offer our apologies…
Calista waved her hand dismissively. “No worries. You just stay here and chat with Mr. Yost. As it happens, I too would like to catch up with Ms. Yost.”
Upon seeing that Calista’s mind was made up, Kallum, despite his disagreement, could only direct his frustration at the Yost family. I can’t believe them. Hasn’t Callie suffered enough? Why can’t these people take the hint?
Kallum’s concern nearly drove Mirabelle to grit her teeth in frustration, as Kallum had never cared so much for someone before. If she hadn’t witnessed it herself, Mirabelle would never have believed it, but seeing it with her own eyes only fueled her resentment.
“This way please.”
Calista spoke to Mirabelle, prompting her to finally pull away the lingering gaze she had no Kallum. Then, she left with Calista.
Within the garden of Fairchild Manor, the weather was gloomy, looking like it was going to rain. Consequently, some of the valuable flower species had been moved indoors.
“Go on, what do you wo tell me?”

“Callic.. Mirabelle said with a hurt tone, “Do we really have to be this distant? Over the past year, I’ve been filled with regret every day in jail. Now, I truly regret my actions. Could you give me another chance for us to continue being friends?”
Her face was pale as she spoke earnestly. If it had been the old Calista, she might have wavered
momentarily. But now….
