Her Vengeful Rebirth ( Calista ) Novel

Chapter 260 The Accusations 

His statement was somewhat exaggerated, as not many people outside of his profession would pay attention to the world’s problems. However, he had intentionally exaggerated to draw the attention of the guests present. 

He conmued, “Ms. Stafford has been making quite a name for herself in Corleon. Many believe she will be the first to conquer the K virus. However, it’s peculiar that I haven’t heard a whisper of this back home. Is someone trying to prevent her from gaining fame, or is it that Ms. Stafford can’t publicize her research achievements, even if she has made progress?” 

His words started to hint at conspiracy theories. After all, everyone wanted to be famous. From his perspective, if Calista truly achieved something, it would be strange for her not to announce it. 

Unless someone didn’t want her to disclose it because once she did, certain secrets would be revealed… 

For a moment, all the guests present began to speculate. 

With a scoff, Kallum retorted, “Do you think everyone is as vain as you? Since you’re not here as guests, get out of my house!” 

Kallum’s hostile attitude caused Hendrick’s tone to become increasingly confrontational. 

“Are you in such a hurry because you’re trying to hide something, Mr. Kallum?” 

Hendrick glanced around at everyone, not seeing Calista only confirmed his suspicions further. “Given Calista’s achievements in Corleon, it’s not difficult to extend the life of a patient suffering from the K virus. So, how can we trust your blood test results from just now?” 

The crowd was in an uproar, as Hendrick had indeed come because of the K virus. After all, this was the first time Kallum had ever slipped up, and even his enemies wouldn’t easily let this opportunity go. 

The Wolford family, who previously suspected that Kallum was infected with the K virus, has already been ruined. And now, the Murray family is still not giving up? They just can’t stop causing trouble, can’t they? 

“So, what you’re saying is, not only did I contract the K virus, but I also held Calista captive and have her secretly treat me? And even if her treatment worked, she isn’t allowed to disclose her achievements? I must say, your imagination is quite rich.” 

“If it wasn’t for the fact that she is at your mercy due to your threats against her, why would a vulnerable woman like her knowingly play the part of your lover when you were infected with the K virus?” 

Hendrick was convinced that Calista and Callum were at odds. If Calista truly had feelings for him, there would be no need for Callum to arrange a pick–up and drop–off for her every day, nor would there be a need to constantly have two people accompany her. The only explanation was that Calista was being blackmailed, forcing her to play along with Callum’s act. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

His expression was filled with contempt. “I bet you manipulated Calista through Benedict, didn’t you? I should have thought of that! And a year ago, you had your right–hand man follow Benedict around. Kallum, did you contract the K virus a year ago?” 

A single remark sparked countless speculations, yet no one had dared to conceive such a wild notion 

before.

Chapter 260–The Accusatione 

Many people expressed disbelief, as they couldn’t fathom that anyone could survive more than a year 

under the torment of the K virus. 

Moreover, Calista was still young. No matter how much of a genius she was, at most, she could only extend someone’s life by a few months, while a year was simply impossible. 

Yet. Hendrick firmly believed in his own deduction. He combined Callum’s behavior over the past year with Harvey’s speculation to conclude what he thought was the truth. 

“Why did you suddenly return from Lostaria a year ago, right at the crucial moment? And why did you start avoiding people after returning? You practically disappeared for an entire year, why?” 

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Hendrick relentlessly presented his findings. Every piece of information he had gathered from his investigation was meticulously laid out. 

“Not only that, but I also knew that after the Fairchild family returned from Country I., they secretly assembled a multitude of virus experts. As a result, they formed a special task force and are now secretly researching the K virus in Corleon. What could possibly compel them to abandon fare, status, and family, to venture into a dangerous nation for volunteer work? It can only be explained by someone having bribed them with power and wealth! Linking all these together, the truth isn’t hard to guess anymore… 

The air was filled with danger, the situation on the cusp of a deadly escalation. The bodyguards of the Fairchild family and the officers brought by Hendrick were in a standoff, their oppressive aura leaving everyone else too tense to even breathe. 

If what Hendrick had said was indeed the truth, then they had been conducting business with a dangerous K–virus carrier for the past year. The thought itself was utterly terrifying. 

The crowd gradually began to show signs of fear, with the more timid among them subtly edging backward, as if doing so could put more distance between them and danger. 

Those who were close to the Fairchild family naturally spoke up in their defense. 

“I feel that this is absolutely impossible! Everyone has just witnessed the results of Mr. Kallum’s blood test. He wasn’t infected at all!” 

“Yeah, how could anyone possibly survive more than a year after contracting the K virus?” someone added. 

“Moreover, Ms. Stafford doesn’t seem like she was being forced at all…” 

The scene was chaotic, marking the first time a sense of unease had gripped the Fairchild family’s banquet. The panic that had been so painstakingly suppressed erupted once more, stronger than ever before. 

Nevertheless, Kallum’s expression was as indifferent as always.
