Her Vengeful Rebirth.
Chapter 350 Shall We Talk
Since that day long ago, Rainey had vanished from her life completely. The apology Calista had always wanted to offer but never dared to, coupled with Rainâs piercing words, âI hate you,â had been buried deep within her memory, only to resurface now in a flood of emotion.
She found herself pondering the hesitant glance Rainey had given her when she had left back then. Had Ramey also harbored words left unsaid? Did she want to say something to Calista at that moment?
Noticing her pensive expression, Kallum queried softly, âDo you want to go in, or should I call Rainey out here?â
Calista shook her head slightly, her voice quiet. âLetâs wait a bit, until she comes out.â
They turned to find a nearby bench, but before they could take a step, the door behind them swung open. Rainey emerged, her eyes visibly red from crying. She had been on her way to work, yet the sight of Calista halted her in her tracks.
âIs that you⦠Calista?â
It was no surprise that Rainey recognized Calista instantly. From their childhood, Calista had possessed a distinctive beauty that made her unforgettable.
Calista, appearing slightly tense, held her posture rigidly.
At this juncture, Kallum intervened, stepping forward to hand Rainey the bag he was holding. âThis is to cover the surgery fees.â
Rainey, caught off guard by the gesture, stared in confusion. Who is this guy, and why is he offering me a bag of money?
Before his arrival, Kallum had already ascertained the kind of person Rainey was through previous inquiries; she was a proud individual, averse to accepting charity despite her circumstances. Therefore, knowing that she desperately needed the money, he explained, âThis quarter of a million, itâs a loan to you, Rainey. You were once a friend of Calistaâs. She knows about your familyâs situation and has offered this out of goodwill. We hope you wonât refuse.â
Raineyâs initial defenses melted away at his words. She clutched the money close, overwhelmed by a wave of relief and joy. If her own relatives had been willing to lend them money, she would never have considered such drastic measures as selling herself for just a hundred thousand.
This isnât a dream, is it?
At that moment, Raineyâs father, Lucas Levine, approached with a puzzled expression. âWhatâs going on? Rainey, are they your friends?â
Rainey nodded slowly, still dazed, as she responded to her father. Her eyes met Calistaâs again, filled with a mix of guilt and uncertainty.
âShould we⦠talk? Rainey suggested, noticing that Calista seemed different nowâmore reserved, yet not hostile.

Meanwhile, even as Lucas unexpectedly came into a significant amount of money, he remained completely in the dark about where it came from. Nevertheless, Kallum promptly took him to settle the bills. They were under pressure: Raineyâs motherâs health was deteriorating, and it was crucial that she received medical attention as quickly as possible.
Observing Rainey, Calista could see a similar restraint mirrored in Raineyâs demeanor. It seemed to both of them as though the entire world had transformed into a mysterious puzzle. Rainey had previously felt as if the world was on the verge of collapse, overwhelmed by pervasive darkness and rampant injustice. However, the situation took a turn when an old friend from her childhood, whom she had wronged in the past, came forward to offer assistance. The unexpected help felt as miraculous as winning a grand prize lottery!
âShall we⦠go sit over there?â Rainey suggested, pointing toward a breakfast place adjacent to the hospital.
Calista agreed without hesitation.
After they settled down and Calista finished her meal, she did not order more. Instead, Rainey, appearing to have unburdened herself, ordered a considerable amount of food.
During this moment. Rainey received a phone call. After answering, she said firmly to the caller, âIâm Sorry, but I quit. Youâll have to find someone else!â
Upon ending the call, Rainey cheered triumphantly, a wave of satisfaction washing over her.
âCalista, do you know? I was actually supposed to help pick up the kids at the kindergarten this morning. But the principal there is so temperamental and downright rude, not to mention creepy! Iâve been wanting to resign for a while now!â Raineyâs candidness quickly diminished any awkwardness between them. Once she began talking, Calista felt a significant weight lift from her shoulders.
âGood that you quit, then,â Calista responded.
She was on the verge of revealing that she controlled a vast fortune of ten billion. If Rainey was agreeable, she could easily lead her into a radically different lifestyle.
However, Rainey shook her head and stated, âI still need to work later today and tonight. Donât worry, I will definitely repay you as soon as I can. Please donât judge me by my present circumstances; Iâve just been really unlucky latelyâ¦â
Recalling her motherâs prolonged illness, she sighed deeply and promised, âThree years, I promise Iâll repay everything, with interest.â
Calistaâs response was neutral; it mattered little to her whether Rainey repaid the debt or not. Yet, she felt uncertain about how to respond, which added a certain stiffness to their interaction.
It seemed that Calistaâs distance was not intentional but rather a genuine uncertainty about how to interact, which made her appear rather nervous. As Rainey took a bite of her ravioli, she suddenly laughed. and remarked, âYouâre not here just because you still feel guilty about that time your stepmother scolded me because of you when we were/kids, right?â
âTo be honest, your stepmother really is quite fierce! How are you managing these days? Is she still treating you poorly?â Rainey asked rapidly, almost convinced that Calistaâs past silence was heavily influenced by her stepmotherâs harshness.

Having secured the necessary funds for the surgery. Raineyâs demeanor softened. With a face full of empathy, she said, âItâs obvious that your stepmother is not a good person. You must have suffered a great deal over the years
