Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 136 I Will Only Dance With Calista Silas and Wanda had previously arranged for someone else to open the dance floor with Calista out of concern for Kallum's health. However, seeing their son showing interest now, they were naturally more than happy to facilitate it.

At that moment, the music in the hall changed. Kallum bent forward slightly. Amidst the envious glances of many women, he extended a gentlemanly invitation gesture toward Calista.

It's happening! We've never seen Mr. Kallum dance before! Calista felt immense pressure under the scrutiny of numerous gazes from every direction. Yet, Kallum said with a smile, "Beautiful lady, I wonder if I might have the honor..." Before he could finish his sentence, suddenly, a mood killer appeared.

"Kal! Are you feeling better now?" Mirabelle appeared in a white, puffy dress, a vision of innocent beauty. Her long, brown curly hair framing her almond-shaped eyes made them appear charming and enticing.

The gazes of the surrounding people subtly shifted as soon as she began to speak. The former fiancée and childhood sweetheart on the sstage is intriguing. People had always whispered about Mr. Kallum's complex feelings for Mirabelle. Indeed, she's the epitof innocent beauty, but compared with Calista, the difference is clear as day! If Kallum hadn't chosen Calista and gotten together with Mirabelle instead, his aesthetic taste would certainly be questionable.

Kallum's expression shifted subtly, and he slowly straightened his posture. "Do you need something?" His aloof demeanor and the tone he just used with Mirabelle were worlds apart. Anyone around them could tell that Mirabelle had fallen out of favor.

Mirabelle was visibly in disbelief. I can't believe Kallum is so indifferent at our next meeting. He only allowedto take care of him up close previously. How did things change so drastically in such a short period? It must've been Calista intentionally sowing up discord! Mirabelle glanced at Calista. Suppressing the resentment in her eyes, she smiled and said, "You look stunning tonight, Callie. However, since you're Kal's former fiancée, it wouldn't be appropriate for you to share the opening dance with him. After all, your statuses are different now. It's such a pity, as I was looking forward to seeing you and Kal open the dance floor together!" Calista raised an eyebrow. Looking forward? Without hesitation, she grabbed Kallum's hand. "Since someone's looking forward to it, let's not dampen their spirits. Let's do the opening dance!" At that moment, the hall had cleared to form a dance floor, waiting for the evening's main characters to commence the dance. Upon hearing Calista's words, the surrounding people began to cheer, encircling the two of them.

Mirabelle's eyes widened, and she turned green.

I'm most certainly not looking forward to it! Has Calista completely ignored my earlier words? I'd clearly stated that it isn't appropriate for her to dance with Kallum with her current status! So, she quickly forced a laugh, saying, "Callie, you've misunderstood. I meant that considering you're now practically half a daughter of the Fairchild family, and given your previous relationship with Kal, it wouldn't be appropriate for you two to dance together. So, how about this? You should dance with my cousin instead!" As she spoke, she pushed a man forward.

Calista scoffed, thinking she would be out of her mind to give the Yost family a chance to steal the limelight.

Before she could even speak, Kallum's reaction was even more intense than hers.

He gave the man a cool, piercing glance before leading Calista off the dance floor, declaring assertively, "In this world, I'll only dance with Callie!" Mirabelle was taken aback. What does Kallum mean by that? She quickly took a few steps to catch up, exclaiming, "Kal! You..." Kallum halted in his tracks, his thick eyebrows furrowing deeply. "Also, who gave you permission to calllike that?" He shot Mirabelle a displeased glance. "You think you're worthy?" Mirabelle's face instantly turned ashen. She could even hear mocking laughter behind her.

A wave of relief washed over Calista after hearing his words.

She peeked out from behind Kallum and added, "Another thing, don't callCallie. We're not close." Someone burst out laughing, believing Mirabelle would be too embarrassed to show her face for stime. Disregarding whatever expression Mirabelle had, the two of them entered hand in hand, dancing the opening number. After giving Mirabelle a harsh lesson, Calista was in a great mood, her lips quirked up high, reflecting her inner joy.

Only then did Kallum realize how simple it was to please Calista. It looks like Mirabelle can indeed cause trouble a bit longer... Mirabelle had already run off in tears. If she didn't leave then, she would have had to endure even more humiliating remarks.

How could this happen? How could Kallum treatlike this? Even though he was aloof in the past, he was always accommodating toward me. Why did things change? Could he have forgotten that I "saved him back. then? Or could he have already discovered that Calista was the one who saved him in his childhood? The thought startled Mirabelle, causing her to feel a little apprehensive about looking at the bustling crowd behind her. A chill began to creep up her spine en Swr .n

It must've been the case. Otherwise, what can explain Kallum's sudden indifference towardand shift his affections to Calista? No... It's impossible. If Kallum knew the truth, why wouldn't he marry Calista? Besides, Calista couldn't provide any evidence to prove that she was the one who did it. After all, who would believe that a nine-year-old girl could rescue a thirteen-year-old boy from the water? Hence, Calista must've done something! She must've sowed sdiscord. Otherwise, Mr. Kallum wouldn't treatlike this! That d*mned woman! Just then, a figure from the crowd started walking toward her.
