Chapter 251 Forgotten About Me
âYou forced me into this! You forced me!â Owen shouted as he pulled Quincy back, retreating. He would have preferred to kill Harvey, but the distance was too great. He knew he couldnât reach Harvey, so the only option left was to kill Harveyâs daughter.
Upon seeing him retreat, Harveyâs eyes lit up. Yet, his face was filled with an expression of urgency.
âWhat are you planning to do? If you want to end your life, do it on your own and let my daughter go! Sheâs my only child, do you intend to let me be heirless?â
The word âheirlessâ deeply provoked Owen. He threw his head back in a cold, scornful chuckle, which eventually escalated into a hearty laugh.
âYes, yes, yes! I almost forgot, you canât have children anymore! Hahaha, you wished for my familyâs downfall⦠I wish you to be heirless!â
As he spoke, he was about to leap down with Quincy in his arms. At that moment, Harvey held his breath.
âIf you really took the leap, then you would be falling right into his trap
A cool female voice came through, inexplicably extinguishing Owenâs raging fury. It felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over his head, preserving Owenâs precarious sanity.
The crowd was parted by a group of bodyguards dressed in black. Calista, clutching her umbrella, made her way from behind. Her black attire almost blended with the night, and under the light, her face was strikingly pale. The contrast of black and white, mysterious and dangerous, slowly approached.
Upon seeing her, Harvey couldnât help but take a few steps buck. He knew who Calista was, even though he had never met her before.
Initially, Calista had no intention of coming out, as she didnât want to interact with this group of detestable people. However, witnessing Owen driven to the brink of suicide, she gave it some thought and decided to step in personally
Initially, Kallum had refused, but Calista was insistent. They had come this far, and for the final push, she wanted to be the one to see it through
When Owen laid eyes on Calista, it was as if a flame met ice, instantly cooling his fervor. He watched her warily, uncertain whether she was there to aid him or to side with Harvey.
Beneath the gently falling rain, Calista slightly curved her lips, speaking to Owen, âIâm here to help you. The reason why there are so many reporters here is because I called them. The fact that youâve been able to perform here for so long without being taken away is also due to my tacit approval. So, youâd better stay calm. Otherwise, you wonât get to see your enemyâs downfall.â
With each word she uttered, Harveyâs face grew paler. Yet, he had been the head of a prominent family for many years. After Calista stepped out, Harveyâs bodyguards subtly closed in, boosting his confidence slightly.
He questioned Calista with a stern and intimidating demeanor, despite being scared himself, âMas, are you implying that you intend to openly oppose my family? What gives you the right to say such things?â

Chapter 251 Forgotten About Me
But how could Calista be afraid of him? Not to mention the imposing Parker Guards behind Calista, who were even more intimidating than Harveyâs men. As for Calista herself, she was a woman who had endured three years of hell without giving up, a lunatic who had been forced to fight back against all her enemies with her own strength, starting from an innocent girl who knew nothing. Her aura was stronger than Harveyâs, more fierce, and sharper!
Calista chuckled softly.
âWhat right? I was once Quincyâs sister and the adopted daughter of the Fairchild family. I wonder, do these identities grant me the right to stand here?â
Seeing that Calista was not easy to deal with, the faint aura of danger around her even sent chills down his own spine. Harveyâs face darkened, his confidence waning even further.
He took a deep breath, his eyes dark and sharp, carrying an implicit threat. He questioned her loudly, âSo, youâre here challenging the Wolford family. Is this the intention of the Staffords, or the Fairchilds? Do you think you can represent both families?â
He deliberately sneered, switching to a dismissive look as he gazed at Calista. It was as though he was telling her she was incapable of taking charge, and that she should get lost quickly.
Calistaâs starry gaze gradually fell upon him. Everywhere she looked, it seemed as though the drizzle had transformed into frost, sending involuntary shivers down othersâ spine.
âYouâre mistaken,â she declared. âI stand here, not by the Staffords decision, nor by the Fairchild familyâs will, but by my own choice. I am here, singleâhandedly challenging you. You may interpret this as, Iâm here to settle a score with youâ
Her words, laced with a smile, stirred up a wave of commotion. The reporters went wild. Wasnât this the same girl who had been publicly proposed to by Kallum Fairchild? She had the audacity to openly challenge the Wolford family, and that was no ordinary family. After all, it was the Wolford family from Summerbank. Although they were not on par with the Fairchild family, would Kallum just let her go around making enemies?
However, considering that the influence of the Fairchild family was evident everywhere tonight, it seemed that Kallum truly indulged her beyond all reason, letting her act as she pleased.
Suddenly, Harvey felt a wave of panic. He had this overwhelming sense that he was going to fall flat on his face here tonight
He opened his mouth, intending to maintain his fierce expression. But what he didnât know was that his feeble demeanor had already given him away.
âDid⦠Did we ever have a problem?â Although his words lacked assertiveness, he felt suppressed by Calistaâs intimidating aura. He suddenly didnât want to do anything. He just hoped to get through the day unscathed. But since Calista was here, it was impossible for Kallum not to be. He felt like a trapped bird. With Kallum controlling the situation and Calista fueling the fire, he could no longer predict how things would unfold.
âCelebrating?â Calista glanced at Owen, who was nervously watching them and gave a slight smile. âIâm just like him, left with nothing because of you. Do you have so many enemies that youâve forgotten about me?â
