Her Rebirth of Retribution

"All right."

Suddenly, Calista felt a hint of sweetness rising from the depths of her heart. In terms of a mother, Wanda fulfilled all her yearnings and expectations. She was her solace in this life and the previous one.

After Calista left, Kallum returned but they missed each other. Given the vastness of Fairchild Manor, it was quite normal for such a miss to occur. "How's it going?" he asked Wanda.

Wanda responded, "I was just about to inquire myself. Your timing is perfect. Let's go together and find out if Callie's situation is serious or not..."

At that moment, Wilbur was deep in thought. Upon seeing Kallum enter, he rose to his feet, offering a courteous smile. "Mr. Kallum, Mrs. Fairchild."

"There's no need to be so formal, Mr. Sutton. You were chatting with Callie for quite a while. What do you think..." she asked straightforwardly as soon as she opened the door.

Upon hearing the name "Callie," Wilbur paused briefly before he slowly responded, "Actually, there's no need for you all to worry so much. From my observations of Ms. Stafford, although she has some psychological issues, they're not severe." "Then what exactly is her problem?"

Kallum took a seat where Calista had previously sat. His close-fitting deep purple shirt accentuated his well-defined physique. Whether he was standing or sitting, he exuded an intimidating presence. At least, that was how Wilbur perceived him. Kallum seemed to be the kind of person who had a clear distinction between love and hate and was domineering and arrogant. People like that were usually not easy to approach. Wilbur couldn't understand how he could have developed such deep feelings for Calista. Without uttering a word, Wilbur simply played back the recorded conversation he had previously had with Calista.

The reason he acted in such a way was because he wanted the Fairchilds to truly understand the kind of life Calista had lived before.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

After the recording finished playing, Wanda was already sobbing uncontrollably. The content wasn't anything shocking, merely the process of a child telling their first lie. However, when Calista relayed it in such a calm and meticulous manner, anyone who heard it would feel their heart ache immensely.

"Before, I merely thought Yelena wasn't a good person, but I didn't expect her to be so cruel toward a child! Callie was still so young back then. Did she really need to humiliate a child like that over just thirty-five?"

She had reached an age when she started to appreciate beauty and desire to look attractive. Having been suppressed for so long, she naturally yearned to dress up just once. She didn't even plan to buy that dress, merely to rent it, yet even such a simple wish went unfulfilled.

In some impoverished households, this might have been acceptable, but not in her family. They were well-off. Her sister lived like a princess, yet she had to resort to lying just to get hold of thirty-five.

It would have been fine if she had successfully deceived Yelena. Yet, the process through which she obtained it was by being brutally slapped in the face with money, a deep humiliation! And it happened in front of her friend.

No wonder Callie had no friends when she was young. The careless remark from her friend before she left might have left her feeling guilty about the concept of friendship for the rest of her life.

What's even worse, under the

oppressive rule of Yelena, Callie

could have potentially succumbed to a submissive nature, becoming more and more timid. She would have been terrified of Yelena to such an extent that even as she grew up, she would never dare to harbor any thoughts of rebellion. That is the

true tragedy.

A glint of intense hostility flashed in Kallum's eyes. Since Yelena had been hiding in the Langley residence, avoiding people for quite some time, he had let her be, choosing not to engage in petty disputes with a woman. However, after he had listened to Calista's past experiences, all his notions of not holding grudges against women flew out the window. He was determined to make this woman pay the price.

The thought of all the indignities Callie had suffered from her childhood till now filled Kallum with rage. He wished he could go back in time, knock that woman off her feet, and protect Callie. How could anyone treat the woman he cherished so poorly? Callie must have suffered greatly at the hands of Yelena in her previous life. Otherwise, she wouldn't have transformed so drastically upon her reincarnation. She had evolved from a sensible and patient character to the person she was now. Upon witnessing their reactions, Wilbur immediately understood Calista's position within the Fairchild family. For some inexplicable reason, he felt a great deal of relief.

"Mr. Kallum, Mrs. Fairchild, we can

get a lot of information from Ms. Stafford's words. Firstly, she feels guilty about lying and swindling money. Secondly, she feels remorse for involving her classmate. Thirdly, she has a clear understanding of her own predicament. To put it simply, she has a strong sense of right and wrong. Generally, people who maintain this kind of moral compass aren't likely to have severe psychological disorders."

Wilbur's words brought considerable comfort to Wanda, but she posed another question. "But Callie is so different now. How would you explain her current state?"

Wilbur put away his voice recorder

and replied calmly, "She seems to be

exhibiting a hyper-rational

personality. Often, such

personalities are largely shaped by family influences, or it could possibly be due to some form of trauma experienced during childhood, causing her to become

hyper-rational when it comes to emotions. For instance, if someone were to share with her the pains of their love life, it wouldn't stirany emotions within her no matter how much she listened. It's difficult for her to empathize with others when it comes to matters of the heart.

Moreover, her views on familial love, romantic love, and friendship are all incredibly subdued. She can't

comprehend why relatives need to

frequently visit each other. During

holidays, she might prefer being alone. As for love, she loves without reservation when she's in love. But when it comes to breakups, she can detach herself completely in a very short time. The same goes for friendships. She won't feel sad because of someone's coming and

going, believing that such

separations are inevitable."
