Her Vengeful Rebirth Chapter 140

Kallum dared not touch Calista’s wound. After all, he himself was also in grave danger. Yet, Calista’s selfless— protection of him sent tremors through his body and soul. Holding her, Kallum found himself somewhat at a loss.

At that moment, Quintus rushed over and was taken aback upon seeing Calista’s condition.

“Mr. Kallum, perhaps it would be best if you handed Ms. Calista over to me. I’ll take her to get bandaged up.”

Upon seeing Calista’s evident discomfort, Kallum, albeit reluctantly, let her go. His heart was filled with a lingering sense of unwillingness. However, even after Calista had left, he remained. His chest was filled with pent–up rage that needed to be vented.

As the cries of alarm grew louder, many people who heard the commotion came out to see what was happening. When they arrived, they discovered that someone had fallen into the water. Yet, amidst all this, Kallum stood by the poolside, unmoving.

“Quick, save her!” Without a second thought, Wanda urged others to rescue the  person.

“Who dares to make a move!” Kallum suddenly raised his voice in a furious shout. The anger he was suppressing seemed as if the person drowning in the water was his most despised enemy.

Under Kallum’s intimidating presence, everyone around fell silent. Shockingly, they all just stood there, watching the girl flounder in the water. It was only when Mirabelle’s parents recognized their daughter’s voice that they let out a gasp and rushed over immediately.

“Mirabelle!”

Regina was just about to send someone to rescue her daughter, but her father coldly held her back. At that moment, he surprisingly asked Kallum with a respectful yet tense demeanor, “Mr. Kallum, I’m unsure of what my daughter has done to warrant such punishment from you?”

Kallum shot him a glance, the anger in his eyes making George shudder. He had dealt with Kallum before, but he had never seen that ever–superior man, actually having such a furious moment.

However, at that moment, his daughter’s cries were growing fainter. Fear gripped his heart, yet he mustered the courage to ask, “My daughter can’t swim. This could end in disaster! Mr. Kallum…”

“Right, Kallum…” Wanda also walked over, a hint of urgency in her voice. “How about we focus on rescuing her first?”

Kallum suddenly let out a cold, mocking laugh. “Fine, save her.”

Upon seeing him relent, everyone hurriedly scrambled to rescue Mirabelle. In no time, Mirabelle was sprawled on the edge of the swimming pool, gasping for breath. Her makeup was completely smeared, and she was crying hysterically while coughing up water. Her face was in such a state that it was almost unbearable to look at. Just as everyone was about to help Mirabelle up, Kallum suddenly stepped forward, blocking everyone from reaching her.

The expressions on the faces of the Yost family members changed drastically. Could it be that Kallum had a change of heart.

Just moments ago, she was in the water, desperately calling for help. Yet, in her peripheral vision, she saw that Kallum was merely watching from the sidelines with an indifferent gaze. He didn’t speak, and those around him didn’t come to her aid either. For a moment, she thought she was going to die right there.

Suddenly, she found herself wishing that if she could live, she would never aspire to be the lady of the house again. This man was terrifying. After knowing him for so many yes could actually watch her

die without batting an eyelid. She was heartbroken and filled with extreme fear. If possible, she would have loved to distance herself from the Fairchild family forever.

At that moment, she was gazing at the man standing loftily by the pool, only half a meter away from her. Her hand slipped, nearly plunging her back into the water. Fortunately, the man who had saved her from the water steadied her from behind.

-What’s Kallum trying to do? Does he have to drive me into a corner? Hadn’t he decided to let me go already?

Kallum glanced at her, his gaze cold and unwavering. In the end, he let out a mocking laugh.

“Ms. Yost, could you tell me how you, a non–swimmer, managed to rescue me from a pool nearly as deep as this one nine years ago when I was unconscious?”

Mirabelle’s face turned ashen in an instant.

Kallum chuckled again, his imposing presence radiating fiercely around him, silencing everyone present. For all these years, whenever he lost his temper, even his own father would steer clear of his wrath, let alone these outsiders.

“I… I’m sorry…”

Mirabelle finally snapped back to reality, realizing that Kallum had discovered her deception! She pleaded in a low voice, instinctively wanting to play the victim to get through the situation. However, due to her fear of Kallum, even her attempts to appear pitiful were pathetically unbearable to witness,

Suddenly, she reached out and clutched onto Kallum’s pants, her wrist trembling lightly. This time, she was truly fearful.

“Kal… no, Mr. Kallum! Mr. Kallum, I won’t dare to do it again… cough, cough… I truly won’t, considering our childhood friendship…”

“Given our history as childhood friends,” Kallum slowly pulled up his pants, his smile chilling. “I’ve decided to shorten your time in jail by a few days.”

“Jail?” The Yost family members‘ already tense expressions shifted instantly. What on earth had their daughter done to face imprisonment?

Kallum slightly lifted his refined chin, speaking slowly with his eyes half–closed.

“Just now, she tried to murder Callie right in front of me. That’s attempted homicide. Mr. Yost, brace yourself for a lawyer’s notice!”

After speaking, he couldn’t beag to look at Mirabelle anymore. He strode away, the thought of Calista losing so much blood making him frantic with worry. The menacing aura that hung around him gradually dissipated. Even Ryder, who was following behind him, couldn’t keep up.
