âWhat did Mr. President say?â Calista hit the nail on the head with her question.
Finished
Shaun replied. âMr. President trusts us. He expressed deep remorse about this incident. Evert though he suppressed the news immediately, the word still managed to get out. I suspect itâs the work of people from the other major families or possibly even a foreign conspiracy.â
Calista gave a slight nod. âWho was it that died? Did Mr. President mention how that person passed away?â
Shaun responded, âThe cause of death was asphyxiation, but there are just too many factors that could lead to such a demise.â
Calista lowered her head, choosing to remain silent.
While Shaun was lending a hand, he seemed a bit distracted. Seeing that Calista was still working methodically, neither speeding up nor slowing down, he finally couldnât help but speak up. âMs. Calista, arenât you worried? There are many people outside pressuring Mr. Kallum to hand you over. Some are even threatening to burn you alive in public!â
Unable to hold back, Calista asked, âLike they did when they burned witches at the stake?â
âMs. Calista!â Shaunâs tone intensified. âWhy arenât you the least bit worried?â
âIs there any use in worrying?â Calista asked as she gently poured one vial of medicine into another of a different color, waiting for its reaction to change. Didnât you mention that Kallum has already returned to take care of things?â
âYou canât just not worry at all. Weâre talking about a matter of life and death hereâ¦â
When Calista saw the medicine gradually fuse together, a smile finally graced her face. âHe said it himself.
th him around, he told me not to worry. So, whatâs there for me to worry about?â
Suddenly, Shaun fell silent. Based on his understanding of Calista, he was well aware that this was the first time she had trusted someone so wholeheartedly, Mr. Kallum, have you finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel? Letâs hope we can get through this crisis without a hitch.
With that thought, Shaun quickly composed himself and hastened his actions.
After rushing back at breakneck speed, Kallum found the Fairchild Manor besieged by thousands of people.
Most of them were visibly outraged. Especially after the appearance of Kallum, they began to shout uncontrollably.
âLiar! Hand over Calista now! We wonât fall for your lies anymore! Hand her over!â
âIf you donât hand her over within ten minutes, weâll set this place on fire!â
In the past, their innate reverenice for the privileged as commoners would have prevented them from suggesting burning that place, how. But now, their emotions were running high. The anger from being deceived, coupled with the pain their loved ones were enduring, made them bold enough to consider such

crowd.
Finished
Surrounded and pointed at by a group of bodyguards clad in black, the crowd was undoubtedly not going to take it lying down.
âCharge! They definitely wonât dare to shoot!â
Someone attempted to stir up the crowd, but no sooner had the words left his mouth than a bullet. whizzed past his feet. His excited expression froze on his face, transforming into a comical one within a second. Seeing that the Fairchild family subordinates were indeed bold enough to fire a gun, the crowd hesitated to act for a moment.
Someone shouted angrily, âIf youâre so capable, lock us all up. Otherwise, Iâll just end my life right here and let the whole nation witness the tyranny of the Fairchild family!â
âThey actually have guns! How are ordinary folks supposed to live? Do they think theyâre so impressive just because theyâre rich and powerful?â
âHand over Calista, or Iâll end my life right here! My son is gone. I have no desire to live anymore.â
More and more among the crowd expressed similar sentiments. With a stoic expression, Kallum stood rooted to his spot, unfazed.
Seeing that everyone was intimated, he then turned to Quintus and said, âBring over the screen and the projector.â
Subsequently, he shared the latest news he had received with the commoners gathered before him.
âWho is a relative of Rhonda Chapman?â Kallumâs sudden question prompted those who were pointed with the muzzles of the guns to be slightly discontented.
-What are you planning to do now? Just because youâre rich and powerful, do you think you can toy with
copleâs lives?â
With patience, Kallum responded, âDidnât you all come here because someone had passed away? Who is Rhonda Chapmanâs family member?â
The crowd wondered. So, the one who died was a person named Rhonda Chapman?
Everyone exchanged glances. When Kallum announced the names of the deceased, there was an undeniable collective sense of relief. The crowd was grateful the deceased wasnât someone from their own family.
The crowd fell silent, all searching for Rhondaâs family member. After all, it was a matter of life and death for their loved one. They couldnât possibly not show up.
However, it was only after a long while that a shrill female voice finally broke the silence. âWhat are you trying to do? Isnât it enough that youâve already caused Rhondaâs death? What more do you want from us? Iâm telling you, even if we die, we wonât make things easy for you!â
Her tone was fitting for a victimâs family member, but the fact that she only showed herself after such a long time seemed a bit odd.

Upon realizing that Kallum knew their names, the two individuals couldnât help but display a hint of panic on their faces.
Maisie, a slender woman with a dark complexion, shricked, âSo what? What are you trying to do?â
A hint of mockery surfaced on Kallumâs face. âIâm just amazed. You guys are quite capable and very daring. It seems thereâs nothing you wouldnât dare to do.â
The scene gradually quieted down, leaving everyone puzzled by Kallumâs intentions. It was one thing for Kallum not to treat Rhondaâs parents with gentleness following her death, but his confrontational tone was entirely unexpected. The crowd wondered if there could be more to this situation than meets the eye.
