Chapter 345 Eat The Money
Kallumâs smirk deepened as he addressed Calista, âThis woman isnât complying, how do you propose we handle her?â
Calistaâs checks flushed with a surge of anger as she fixed her gaze on Yelena, her eyes blazing with intensity. âWhy arenât you eating? Listen, if you donât start eating, Iâll ensure Quincy is killed in prison!â
âYou wouldnât dare!â Yelena exclaimed, her voice shaking with panic and disbelief.
Instinctively, Calista sought reassurance from Kallum. It felt like she was thirteen again, with Kallurn standing beside her as her steadfast pillar of support.
Encouraged by a firm nod from Kallum, her resolve hardened, her eyes narrowing. âDare me if you want! Donât forget, it was I who had her locked up!â
A wave of despair crashed over Yelena at those words. She shouted, defiant yet desperate, âCalista! Iâm ready to fight you to the very end!â
âBring it on! If you donât manage to eat all this money before the Langley family gets here, Quincy will suffer the consequences in prison. Think Iâm bluffing? Argue with me one more time, I dare you!â
The cold, murderous look in Calistaâs eyes completely overwhelmed Yelena. She felt utterly powerless before her, as though her life hung by a thread that Calista could sever with a single word.
âEat!â Calista commanded with chilling simplicity.
The room fell silent, and then, Yelena broke down, tears streaming down her face. âAll right⦠Iâll eat, Iâll eat!â
In a frantic scramble, she began picking up the scattered money from the ground and stuffing it into her mouth. Calista, observing her, felt a mixture of satisfaction and relief. She might have stomped on the money first if she were more ruthless, but she refrainedâjust as she would never actually harm Quincy. Yet, witnessing Yelena kneeling and crying while eating the money, Calista felt a rush of vindication.
As they heard voices outside, Calista signaled to Kallum, her voice light. âWell, look at that. Everyoneâs arriving now. Remember, you said youâd get me out of here. I really donât want to bump into the Langleys.â
Kallum, with a slight smirk, replied casually, âIâve always said, all you need to do is trust me. Once sheâs finished eating, weâll leave.â
Wait for me to finish eating?
A spark of resentment flickered in Yelenaâs heart. She pretended to choke, secretly hoping that Kallum would get caught by the Langley family. After all, mistreating a helpless woman would surely tarnish the reputation of the Fairchilds.
Kallum, reading her intentions, scoffed, âIt seems you really donât care about Quincyâs wellbeing.â
Yelena was stunned. Could it be true that Calista had threatened her, implying harm would come to

At this juncture, Yelena had abandoned all hope of seeing Kallum and Calista caught. Instead, she found herself praying for the Langley familyâs delayed arrival, fearing the consequences if they were apprehended.
But reality seemed to conspire against her. A commotion erupted outside, signaling that Joanna was encountering resistance and causing a scene. This prompted more members of the Langley family to get involved, their arrival imminent.
Subconsciously, Yelena hastened her actions, driven by urgency, while Kallum remained calm. Observing his composure, Calista felt reassured.
Seeing Yelena struggling to swallow the money quickly, Calista flashed Kallum a triumphant smile. âYour turn now! Theyâre almost here!â
As Calista extended her hand, Kallum took it with a grin. âAll right. Letâs go!â
Before they departed, Kallum glanced sidelong at Yelena. âRemember, you didnât see who was here. Say anything out of line, and your daughter pays the price.â
Ignoring Yelenaâs pale, shocked face, he departed with Calista.
Just as they stepped outside, Hansâ voice echoed angrily. âWhatâs going on? Why all the noise?â
Joannaâs exasperated voice followed, âSomeone was blocking my way into Yelenaâs room, but I heard a manâs voice from inside!â
âWhat?â Hans voice thundered as he hurried toward Yelenaâs room.
Kallum and Calista were just leaving when they nearly collided with Hans. Just then, the hallway lights suddenly went out, plunging the corridor into darkness.
Surprised cries filled the air, but Hans could only discern two fleeting shadows. âWhoâs there?!â he demanded.
âRun!â Kallum whispered urgently to Calista, pulling her into a sprint.
His night vision was sharp, while Calista, nearly blinded by the darkness, relied entirely on him to navigate safely.
âQuick! Someoneâs broken in! Chase them!â Hans shouted from behind, his voice mingled with the sound of others joining the pursuit.
Kallum, aware of Calistaâs difficulty seeing in the dark, reassured her, âJust trust me!â His grip on her hand was firm, conveying not just guidance but also his joy in the thrill of their escape. âIâll guide you out of here.
Behind them, the number of pursuers swelled, leaving the Langley family bewildered and angry. They had been harboring two strangers without realizing it!
âWe must catch them!â Hans bellowed, determined. He couldnât see clearly who they were, but he sensed they were a man and a woman. As someone attempted to use a phone flashlight to illuminate the chase, Kallum knocked it away, ensuring their escape remained shrouded in mystery.
