Her Vengeful Rebirth ( Calista ) Novel

Chapter 263 He Might Feel The Sting 

Another wealthy lady chuckled and said, “It must be soon. After all, they already have a child.” 

With a mix of surprise and uncertainty, Hendrick looked at Calista, who appeared calm and composed despite the situation. He was taken aback by her serene demeanor. 

That’s impossible! If Calista was in that kind of relationship with Kallum, thy would she be constantly monitored by him? Ihy would he even have her father under surveillance! Leaving other matters aside, let’s take tonight for instance. Il’hy did Kallum choose to play his tricks precisely at the moment when blood tests were being conducted in public? The only explanation is that Calista is lying! She has been manipulated by Kallum, and now she has no choice but to help him clear his name, hence the deliberate claim of her being pregnant! 

After coming to a realization, Hendrick’s expression became serious, and he suddenly said, “You’re pregnant, Ms. Stafford? That sure was rather quick. As it happens, I brought a military doctor with me. How about you grant me a defeat that will leave me utterly convinced?” 

Kallum had completely run out of patience with Hendrick. Now that the crisis was over, there was no need for further chatter. He looked at Hendrick with displeasure and said, “Are you done yet? Paul, escort Mr. Hendrick out! Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Noticing that Kallum was ready to have a thorough falling out, Hendrick had to leave this matter unresolved unless he was truly confident enough to risk that. 

Just as Hendrick remained hesitant, Calista suddenly pecked out from Kallum’s embrace. 

“What could you offer me in return if I allowed you to examine me?” 

Snapped back to reality, Hendrick hastily replied, “The five docks that Harvey gave me will be yours!” 

After all, in a way, whether Calista was pregnant or not would show if Kallum had lied. Therefore, this news was indeed valuable. 

Calista extended two fingers and said, “I’m aware of the five docks Harvey gifted you, located on the southern coast. Between those five docks, there are two docks which belong to the Murray family. If you agree to hand them over to me as well, I will allow you to conduct a blood test.” 

After all, in the early stages of pregnancy, a blood test was the most convincing examination. 

Hendrick hesitated for a moment. If he agreed, the entire southern coast would belong to the Fairchild family. However, his hesitation didn’t last long. Compared to Kallum, who casually bet all the maritime resources, Calista’s request could be considered rather mild. 

Considering the many uncertainties surrounding the situation, he believed Calista was likely bluffing. As such, he gritted his teeth and said, “All right; I agree!” 

Calista chuckled lightly and gently extended her hand. “Go ahead and draw my blood, but be careful. I’m afraid of pain.” 

Her composed demeanor only increased Hendrick’s sense of unease. However, due to a shred of unwillingness in his heart, he still ordered the military doctor to draw her blood. 

Although many guests no longer harbored any doubts about the matter, they still kept their eyes intently on Calista, eagerly awaiting the results of the blood test.

This time, Hendrick arrived fully prepared, so the results of the blood test came out immediately. 

The military doctor looked a bit distressed as he quietly told Hendrick, “It indicates a pregnancy, but due to the early stage, the exact duration of the pregnancy cannot be determined yet.” 

The words that followed fell on deaf ears for Hendrick, and his expression turned extremely unsightly. 

With a mysterious smile, Calista pressed a hand against her bleeding wound and asked, “Now we can clear Kallum’s name, can’t we?” 

She tilted her head, smiling as she continued, “Or are you implying that this child isn’t Kallum’s? In that case, I can only wait for you to return in a few months for a DNA test using my amniotic fluid.” 

Her playful tone made everyone burst into laughter, leaving Hendrick, who originally intended to question the pregnancy, speechless. 

“What a joke! Would Mr. Kallum ever raise someone else’s child?” 

Their gazes gave Hendrick a feeling of constant uncase. He could almost envision the severe punishment that awaited him upon his return. Especially when others looked at him with an expression that was part mockery and part amusement, he felt like a fool, toyed with by the couple before him. 

“Arc 

you satisfied now?” Kallum asked with a distinctly displeased expression. He was certain that Calista must have done something to get these results, but it didn’t matter at that point. Even if it was all an act his confidence was not diminished in the slightest. 

Seemingly struggling to accept the outcome, Hendrick didn’t respond. 

Calista nestled in Kallum’s arms, chuckling mischievously as she said, “This is great! I’ve gained so much without doing anything! It’s like winning the lottery! All of Horington will be green with envy tomorrow!” 

They were indeed envious, their jealousy had already surfaced. It was seven docks, all connected, which was equivalent to taking over almost half of the southern coast. They had to work for so many years to earn these things, yet Calista only needed to shed the first drop of blood to have it all. 

Upon seeing Calista having a good time, Kallum sarcastically followed her lead and said, “You should thank Mr. Hendrick properly when he sends the items over, Callie. He may not cherish what others give him, but he might feel the sting for a while for the two things he’s given away himself.” 

The two of them were growing more and more in sync. Even without prior discussion, they had the ability to leave others utterly exasperated. Hendrick’s face turned ashen, and he was so taken aback that he couldn’t utter a single word for quite some time. 

Even if he was filled with reluctance, there was no way he could force a blood test on Kallum in the latter’s territory. 

Calista still wasn’t satisfied and added deliberately, “I suppose Mr. Hendrick must be very occupied, right? We won’t overstay our welcome, then. I’ll be waiting for your handover agreement at the Fairchild residence. If possible, please send my regards to Harvey.” 

She then continued with a mischievous smile, “You could also tell Harvey that if he wants to give me a gift, he doesn’t have to be so subilé about it. I’ve always welcomed good things with open arms. Please ensure that you inform Harvey at the earliest opportunity that I have successfully received his five docks. I’m certain he’ll be overjoyed. Given his sincerity, I won’t cause him any trouble as long as he behaves well in the future.”
