I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 205

Calista was clear-headed, yet she felt sorrow.

However, she felt relieved after that. She had seen through everything and knew that those who would love and protect her were only Jason, Joanna, and Oliver. Only those three people would unreservedly love her, unlike Frederick, who had been spoiled since childhood.

Frederick had only demanded from her without showing his love toward her.

Looking at him, who was still the same, asking for more at the moment, Calista felt he was no longer worth helping.

She said inwardly, “Oliver was right. Frederick would never have enough, like a wolf who could never be full.”

So she took out 40 dollars for Frederick to cut off her relationship with him as a sibling.

Frederick looked at Calista’s resolute expression and shuddered with his mouth open.

He thought, “I never expected nor could I get help from Candice. As someone like me, all I can count on in my life is Calista, but she has changed!”

“Calista, I-I’m your biological younger brother!” Frederick said in a trembling voice.

Calista smiled and replied, “Frederick, you have developed a personality of fooling around since childhood. You spent money indiscriminately, and all you did was ask for money from me. Actually, I don’t care about these. I knew that you had spent on dining and entertainment. But you’re my biological younger brother. No matter how hard it is, I’m willing to save money for you to spend because I love you!”

Then, Calista shook her head while looking at Frederick, who was in a -daze, and continued, “I don’t mind you leading a life of debauchery, but when Jason was sick and needed money to save his life, you refused to help. At that time, you had cut our relationship off. You know, after my marriage to Jason, he knew I had given you his hard-earned money from working on the construction site and also knew that you spent it indiscriminately and wouldn’t pay us back. However, he still had no regrets and never said no in front of me. He’s such a nice person. That’s fine, even if you didn’t lend a hand or pay us back. But how could you say

such heartless words? Are you even a human being? Even if you didn’t have the money at that time, we would still be siblings today as long as you didn’t say something so heartless to Oliver. But you said it. Do you think I’m stupid or owe you anything? Even if I owe you, I’ve done my part of acting like a mother to raise you.”

Frederick was stunned and suddenly burst into tears. “Calista, I’m sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me! Please!”

Calista replied indifferently, “It doesn’t matter anymore. I don’t hate you nor blame you, but I don’t have that affection anymore, so you don’t need to pretend to be sad and miserable in front of me. It’s useless. If I give you another 20 dollars, I’ll feel sorry for Oliver. I won’t do anything wrong to him!” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Frederick felt heartbroken to hear that because Calista had wiped out his last fortune.

Calista added, “But you don’t have to worry about Yancy. Oliver is a person who values his relationship with others. If you respect him, you’ll have his respect as well. Yancy has been close to him since she was a child. So he’s willing to spend money on her, but don’t you waste your -time trying to trick him by using Yancy. It’s useless. I’m tired. I’m going to

rest.”

Frederick wiped his tears and watched Calista enter the room, but he could not speak.

He thought, “She’s right. Even if I didn’t have the money to lend to Oliver back then, as long as I didn’t say such ruthless words and tried my best to pool money for him to save Jason, what would my relationship with Oliver be like now? Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world.”

At that moment, Frederick could clearly understand the true meaning of “Do not underestimate the poor.”

To put it bluntly, he thought Calista’s family were honest people who could not make a fortune all their lives. He would not act like that if it were Candice’s family.

Frederick had never taken advantage of Candice but had fawned over her. He could not help but feel shameless when he recalled those memories.

Then, he realized it would be difficult for him to receive money from Calista’s family anymore.

Frederick, Frederick…”

At that moment, his mother-in-law, Melinda, quietly came over and called out to him with averted eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Frederick wiped his tears away randomly. It was rare for people to see a hooligan like him crying. He looked like a mess, and it made him embarrassed.

Melinda looked at him and glanced around. Making sure no one was around, she whispered, “Frederick, just now… Just now, my neighbor next door called and informed me that the priest is back.”

“What priest?” Frederick was a little confused.

“L-Let’s talk about it when we go back,” Melinda replied, turned around and left the room.

Frederick followed her back to the presidential suite where he lived. Lillian was also there. She stood guard by the door of the living room. After seeing Melinda and Frederick enter, she softly closed and locked the door.

“Come here.” Lillian ran into the room quietly. In truth, even if they were in the living room, no one could hear them outside the door.

When the three of them entered the room, Lillian closed the door and whispered, “Frederick, my mom’s neighbor told her that the priest is spiritually effective and powerful. Should we ask the priest to check on Yancy, who is in such a state?”

Frederick nodded and replied, “I’m okay with it. There is nothing we can do about Yancy now. That’s our last-ditch effort. The more powerful he is, the better.”

Lillian said worriedly, “But fees for the priest are very expensive. Although Calista and Oliver agreed to pay for Yancy’s treatment, will they believe it, and agree to do it? If they don’t believe it, it’ll be in vain. Otherwise, will you pay for it if we ask for the priest’s help?”

Frederick was stunned for a moment and thought she was making sense. A while ago, Calista had assured him not to worry about Yancy’s treatment, since she and Oliver would pay for it. However, Oliver would certainly be the one who makes the decision. He was not easy to fool. Frederick wondered, “Will he believe such a ridiculous thing as asking a priest to exorcise evil spirits?”

Gradually, Frederick came to his senses. After thinking for a while, he

said, “Since Calista and Oliver agreed to pay for Yancy’s treatment, he naturally has to agree to this plan. I don’t think there is anything else to say. Just explain it directly to them and let them decide.”

Although Frederick did not know how much it would cost to cure Yancy, he was sure that even if it cost a few million dollars or even exceeded 20 million dollars, Oliver would definitely pay for it as long as it could cure Yancy. So, Frederick had nothing to worry about.

Lillian and Melinda did not know about the conversation between Frederick, Oliver, and Calista a while ago, so they murmured, “What if they don’t agree?”

“I think it’s better not to tell them for now. If they disagree, there will be no way out. Why don’t we make a move first by inviting the priest over and only then tell Oliver? He won’t turn against us and drive the priest away, right?”
