Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 183 Lock Her Up Kallum snorted as he eyed them. "Since I wasn't dismissed, why didn't you listen to me?" Everyone was taken aback by his response. Then, they all knelt on one knee, not daring to utter another word.

For the first time, Shaun could sense Kallum's murderous intent.

Though only twenty-four years old, Kallum had already disposed of numerous people. He was generally easygoing, but when his mood turned, a single glance from him was enough to send chills down one's spine.

He scanned them with his dark eyes. Then, speaking slowly and deliberately, he asked, "Why don't you answer me? Why did you let my treasure go?" Gunner raised his head. "Mr. Kallum, I was the one who let Ms. Stafford go. The others knew nothing about it." "Mr. Kallum, if you must punish someone, let it be me! I had my suspicions, yet I still let her go," Quintus piped up guiltily.

Kallum gave a grim laugh that dripped with mockery. It was unclear whether he was laughing at them or himself.

A sense of foreboding crept over Shaun. I'm certain we won't be able to escape punishment today. What I'm more afraid of is that we'll all be replaced. After all, if there's one thing the Fairchild family doesn't lack, it's staff. Sure enough, Kallum sneered, "Since you disobeyed me, then-" However, a monotonous ringing suddenly pierced the air. Kallum's phone was ringing.

Whoever it was, that person was unlucky to have chosen to call at such a time.

Kallum stared at his phone for a while, pressing his thin, pursed lips even tighter together. In the end, he still could not bring himself to reject the call. "Awake already?" He heard Calista's detestable voice on the other end of the line. She sounded cheerful as though feeling very smug that she had fooled him and slipped away. That d*mned woman! She's truly unbearable! His silence did not scare her. She said, "Don't punish them. They were all deceived by me. Instead of punishing them, why not wait until I return to punish me?" "Do you think you can escape?" He could not stop himself from responding but felt a pang of regret immediately after that. Why on earth did I have to rise to this ruthless woman's bait? She chuckled. "Let's get straight to the point, then. I called to explain why I left so suddenly. To be honest, even though I had considered it before yesterday, I hadn't planned on acting so quickly. I've started a new subject at university, so do you know how much it costto leave so abruptly?" "And yet you just up and left!" he exclaimed, finally losing his composure. His eyes swept the room in anger, prompting everyone to swiftly step outside. A reprisal for a wrong should be directed at the perpetrator, so they felt it was only fitting that Calista bore the brunt of his fury.

Once everyone had left, Kallum could no longer contain his anger and cursed bitterly, "You d*mn woman! Don't even think of fooling me. Do you think a simple phone call will ear my forgiveness? Letmak things clear. I won't let you off the hook! If you know what's good for you, you'll cback right this instant!" She held the phone far away from her and only placed it back to her ear when he was done shouting. "I called you out of goodwill to explain things. Aren't you going to hear what I have to say?" "Not a chance!" he retorted. Does she think she can escape punishment with just a simple explanation? Impossible! This time, I'm determined to teach her a lesson! I'll make her understand that I have the final say! Let's see if she dares to leaveagain. She sure has sguts! "If you don't, you'll regret it. Are you sure you won't listen?" He snorted. "Unless you cback immediately, I don't want to hear a single word!" "But the place I'm heading to has no signal towers, and I left in such a hurry that I didn't bring a satellite phone. If you don't hearout now, you might never get to do so." Frustration surged through Kallum, but he managed to snap, "Levi went with you. There's no way he didn't bring a satellite phone." Calista sighed. "It seems you've no intention of listening to what I have to say. So be it, then. Goodbye."

"Wait!" His blood was boiling. This infuriating woman! It's bad enough that she ran away, but to think she actually wants to hang up without hangyp uttering a single word of apology Does she think I've no way of getting to Corleon? If that's the case, she's seriously underestimating me! Just wait! Once I get my hands on her, I'II... Although I haven't quite figured out what I'll do, I won't let her off lightly, that's for sure! Chuckling softly, she asked, "What's this? Do you want to listen now?" He merely grunted in response and did not say anything.

"If you're not going to talk, I'll hang up-" "Calista Stafford!" he hissed through clenched teeth. He could not help thinking how she was the bane of his existence. She was a woman he loved deeply yet despised with the sintensity!

Seeing that he was on the verge of losing his temper, she finally suppressed her laughter and spoke in a serious tone. "Thave an idea. Senda selfie. If I find your expression interesting enough, I'll go back immediately-" Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a sudden thud followed by silence on the other end.

Did he smash his phone? Laughing, she remarked, "You're quite spirited. It seems that sticking it out for a month won't be an issue."

"Calista! You're such a jerk!" Kallum paced back and forth in the room. His phone lay shattered on the floor, making for a pitiful sight. He almost stepped on it several times, and each eTx the did, he would kick it away in frustration. He was nothing short of livid! "D*mn it! D*mn it! That insufferable woman! I'm going to tie you up! That's right. And lock you up!" The thought of seizing her and confining her to his room, forbidding her to go anywhere, strangely filled Kallum with a twisted sense of anticipation.
