Chapter 464 She Fights Back
Calista stepped forward, pulling out the silver needle. Mirabelle’s blood, which had previously stopped, started to flow again.
She then heard the icy voice of Calista echo in her ears.
“Go ahead and sue me. There are plenty of people who can vouch that I’m innocent. Even if you manage to frame me, all I’ll lose is some money. As for you, you should focus on getting better. If you’re in a bad mood after a miscarriage, it could lead to lifelong infertility,” Calista said.
“Calista!” Mirabelle knew she had to seek treatment, but she couldn’t bear to see Calista so smug. She glared at Calista, gripping her collar, her eyes filled with bloodshot veins. “Why? Why do you have to do this to me? I should be the one basking in all this glory right now instead of you! You’ve taken everything from me!”
Every time Mirabelle heard people discussing how much Kallum doted on Calista, how he defended her and even risked his life to save her, she seethed with resentment. She believed Calista had taken everything away from her. Calista has ruthlessly taken what should have rightfully belonged to me!
“I love him so much! Don’t you know how much I love him? Why are you competing with me? Weren’t you my friend? Now, because of you, I’ve lost the good reputation I had built up and my glory. I even have to accompany a nouveau riche that disgusts me. Why would you do this to me?” Mirabelle grumbled.
Watching Mirabelle as she spoke, tears streaming down her face, the hand gripping her collar was visibly strained as if it wished nothing more than to strangle Calista.
Interestingly, Calista was often asked the same question by many people. Mirabelle, Yelena, and even Quincy asked her that question. They all wanted to know why she was causing them harm.
In her previous life, they were all highly respected. Somehow, Mirabelle managed to get engaged to Kallum when she was in her thirties, just as she had always wished. Moreover, she became a dance master, receiving accolades both domestically and internationally. Wherever she went, she was met with praise, unlike then, when she was hesitant, erratic, and almost like a resentful woman.
Quincy, on the other hand, exploited her reputation as Gorgeous Medical Genius to the fullest. She had pushed herself to the limit, bringing untold benefits to the Wolford family. When Harvey was pleased, he would bring her back, spending great effort to cleanse her humble origins and transforming her into the princess of the Wolford family, fawned upon by others. She used to navigate effortlessly among countless high–quality men, not like then, when she had to pull out all the stops to curry favor with an old man, her reputation sinking even lower than a social butterfly’s.
Back then, Yelena relied on Quincy, ultimately becoming Harvey’s most important mistress, perfectly poised to be his next wife. At the same time, she kept Hans on the hook, completely leaving Benedict behind.
When Benedict died, she felt nothing. It wasn’t like then, when she had no one to turn to, nowhere to go. In the end, she ended up as a cleaner in a restaurant, at the mercy of others.
No wonder they scolded her, for it was indeed her actions that had drastically altered their lives.
Right then, Calista’s eyes suddenly narrowed. However, their glory in my previous life was all achieved through
erbloiting and oppressing me! Mirabelle sorved discord and sabotaged my wedding Quincy was insatiably greedy

stepping on me, yet when I refused to be trampled upon, they played the victims. How shameless!
When Mirabelle saw that Calista remained silent, she thought the latter was feeling guilty.
Finished
Hence, Mirabelle raised her voice and roared, “Why aren’t you saying anything? We were friends for over a decade! Look at the state you’ve left me in! Are you satisfied now? You’re really heartless! So cruel!”
Suddenly, Calista’s cold hand gripped Mirabelle’s collar, trembling with rage. Using her height to her advantage, Calista loomed over Mirabelle and said, “If you utter one more word, I’ll make sure you find yourself in a sorry plight. Do you believe me?”
Calista’s voice was soft, audible only to Mirabelle, but the murderous intent in her words was heavy enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.
“You…” Mirabelle barely uttered a word before she was silenced by Calista’s intense gaze.
Calista abruptly shifted from her usual composure. Her icy gaze then seemed to hold a distinct impatience, hinting at a hidden ferocity.
“Despite your incessant bleeding, you still have the energy to talk so much. It seems like you really don’t want children in the future. You may have a lot of free time, but I don’t. That’s why I’ve been letting you off the hook. But if you provoke me again, you’ll get a taste of my real power. Remember those dead people? It appears you’re quite eager to join them in death, aren’t you?”
After finishing her statement, Calista let out a cold, mocking laugh.
Her laughter, however, caused Mirabelle’s legs to turn jelly. It was as if all her strength had been drained, leaving her unable to move.
Mirabelle wondered if Calista had truly been holding back all this while. If I’m already in such a state with Calista holding back, will I end up dead like Harvey and the others if she comes at me with all her might?
Kallum could sense the unusual chill emanating from Calista. Despite knowing he was walking into a minefield, he still approached her, taking her hand in his.
“Don’t touch me!”
Instinctively, Calista warned him to back off. But in the next moment, Kallum had embraced her from behind. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
