Chapter 4 The Wounds Beneath The Clothes
His words sent another shockwave through the crowd.
The crowd wondered, did he mean that it was Calista who seduced them, but someone happened to walk by and she wanted to cover up what happened, so she purposely made herself look like a complete mess and turned around to accuse the man she slept with? Or the two men?-This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Quincy smirked on the inside when she heard the crowd making guesses on what happened, but she pretended to cry and said, "Callie! No wonder you were so angry! I believe you didn't want to do that, they must have forced you to!" Regardless of whether she meant to or not, it still meant that Calista had been defiled!
Benedict was greatly angered when he heard these comments and didn't care whether he was embarrassed or not anymore. He demanded, "Callie! What on earth happened?"
Yelena took this chance to smear her further, "Callie, you took a glass of wine earlier and said you were drunk, so I sent you to the annexe to have a good rest, I can't believe you ended up doing something like this..."
This very scene of mother and daughter continuously making false statement one after another brought back memories of what happened in her previous life - Quincy had brought people to find her in a state of undress, sharing the room with these two men. The last time these two men were also equally adamant that they had sex with her, making sure everyone knew that the future daughter-in-law of the Fairchilds was actually a loose woman, seducing two strange men in her own fiancé's house, that she was an utterly shameless woman!
At that time, she was only eighteen with a weak personality, so when everyone laughed at her or blamed her, she couldn't defend herself and just cried!
As a result, the rumors got worse and worse, destroying her reputation and the engagement was eventually called off.
Now she had a second chance at life, and it happened to be this particular night - this was the will of God!
And this time she must not go soft on them...and she definitely cannot be weak!
The butler saw that the situation was getting out of hand, so he secretly called Madam Feng.
Seeing that the murmuring was getting louder and louder, Calista took in a deep breath and blocked out the voices. Then she turned to look at these two scumbags that ruined her previous life and said calmly, "You want to kill me because I overheard about your crimes." Her overly calm and cold voice made everyone quieten down.
Zane froze for a while, then gave a sly smile as he said, "Come on, Ms. Stafford, don't try to change the topic. You weren't like this just now! You were so passionate like you had never seen a man before, and your skin is really..." Calista suddenly laughed.
Everyone thought she was mad - how could she still laugh at such a time?
Her laughter echoed through the large hall, sending chills down everyone's spine. Finally, she fixed her eyes back on Zane.
"Who's trying to change the topic here? Three months ago, there was a party in the countryside. You both got drunk and were trying to force yourselves on the younger daughter of the Lloyds, but in the end she tried to escape, knocked her head on a rock and died! You were afraid that someone would find out, so you've buried her body in Yael's summer chalet's garden..."
"That's nonsense!" Zane immediately cut in, his face threatening.
"All we did was have sex with you, and you want to malign us with such a serious crime?"
He was in a terrible panic, but tried his best to look calm.
"Malign you?"
Calista's eyes fell upon Yael and said, "Look at him over there, does it look like I've falsely accused you?"
This sudden change of the situation sent an uproar through the guests.
A murder was way more scandalous than sex! Everyone turned to look at Yael, to find this six foot man trembling in a corner suddenly burst into tears!
"My daughter!"
It turned out that the Lloyds were one of the guests tonight - Mrs. Lloyd had been heartbroken from not being able to find her younger daughter for a while now, and Mr. Lloyd had insisted on bringing her to the party in hope to lift her spirits, and now they heard this shocking piece of news!
"No..... You despicable woman! Don't you dare accuse us of such a thing!"
Zane shouted while pushing Yael, trying to hint that he had to quickly make a phone call to destroy the dead body. But the Lloyds had already made their way over. Mrs. Lloyd grabbed at Yael, repeatedly demanding to know, "Did you kill my daughter? DID YOU?!" The entire hall was now in complete chaos, and Calista called out to Mr. Lloyd through the noise, "Mr. Lloyd, if you don't quickly make a call to locate the body, they're going to find someone to destroy the evidence."
Mr. Lloyd stared at Calista for a while, but he had no time to think - this was about his daughter's death after all, so he quickly made a call.
On the other side Yael was slowly reaching his breaking point as Mrs. Lloyd kept on asking him about whether he had killed her daughter.
He put his hands over his head and squatted down, "I.... I didn't mean to! She fell on the rock herself!"
"ARGGHHHH!!! I'm going to KILL BOTH OF YOU!!"
The moment Mrs. Lloyd heard this confession, she went all out to punch and kick him, not caring what she looked like.
Zane had also went into a panic, wondering how Calista could have known about this. It was not possible!
Calista curled her lips - in her previous life, these two remained free for ten years before they were put into prison for this murder.
At that time she was extremely depressed, but when she heard about their arrest, she finally felt like justice had been served. So this time round she was determined to catch them with her own hands!
Everyone suddenly grew fearful of the two men, and the butler quickly rounded them up.
When Zane saw that their cell phones were taken away, he knew they couldn't even make any arrangements to save themselves, and he finally snapped.
He suddenly broke free from the security guards and reached out to strangle Calista, but the security guard managed to catch him back just before he reached her.
"You despicable woman! How dare you malign me! I will not let this go! Your acting is really good huh? Beneath your clothes are nothing but love bites from both of us! No matter how you try to defend yourself, the truth is you've had sex with us!"
His hands were like claws, and they were just a few inches from Calista's neck. Calista took a step back and felt her heart pounding. Fear, anxiety, joy- these feelings filled her heart with so much excitement and her heart kept pounding faster and faster! She was a completely different person now - so this was how good it felt like to get revenge?
She heard herself saying in a voice way calmer than it should have been, "You will be convicted for attempted rape and first degree murder. Go to hell, you animals."
""You slut!"
Zane tried to kick her but the security guards hauled him away. She watched as the hands trying to reach out and strangling her got carried further and further away from her, then suddenly she smiled and turned towards Quincy.
That smile sent chills down Quincy's spine. She suddenly felt that Calista was now different, and she was afraid of her..
Quincy quietly clenched her teeth, and seeing that everyone was still caught up with what just happened, she patted her chest and then said with a sly voice, "Sis... is what he said true? you and those two really..."
Those words attracted the attention of everyone present once more. Quincy was determined to smear Calista tonight.
"What nonsense are you going on about!"
The mistress of the Fairchild family walked over quickly - she heard Quincy's words from a mile off, which made her blood boil.
Wanda Leighton regretted leaving the party at a bad time, and something like that even happened. She apologized to the guests, "The Fairchilds are responsible for what happened tonight. It is unbelievable that we allowed these scumbags in - we will be answerable for everything." After that, she got the butler to send the devastated Lius to the police station. The guests had mixed reactions - at first they thought they were in for merely some scandalous gossip, but it turned out to be a murder case!
Seeing Wanda had arrived, Quincy pinched herself hard and then ran to her, crying.
