Just as Calista decided to ignore her and pass her by, Mirabelle suddenly asked in a hushed voice, âCould we step aside for a chat?â
Someone grabbed her arm in the hallway, so Calista had no choice but to turn around. She looked at Mirabelle somewhat helplessly and replied, âI really donât have anything to say to you.â
Darren stood off to the side, somewhat perplexed. âMs. Stafford, who is this?â
Before Calista could respond to him, Mirabelle had already drawn Calistaâs attention back to her.
âHow could there be nothing to talk about? After all, weâve known each other for over a decade. Or is it that you now feel too superior to exchange a few words with us ordinary folks?â Mirabelle asked.
Upon hearing Mirabelleâs words, Darren felt a bit awkward standing off to the side. He responded with a smile, âSince Ms. Stafford has run into a familiar face, feel free to chat. I will wait for you in the conference room upstairs with the other experts.
After speaking, he tactfully led the others away.
Calista felt somewhat helpless. She actually hadnât wanted to converse with Mirabelle. Yet, Mirabelle seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
âNow, Ms. Stafford, do you have some time to chat with me?â Mirabelle asked.
âWhat do you have to say?â Calista glanced at her. This former enemy of hers looked worn out then, her face pale and haggard. Though she was still dressed in white, she no longer had that graceful and innocent aura. She was more like an innocent woman who had been through hardships. There was also an indescribable gloominess between her brows.
âWhatâs the rush? Oh, wait. Youâre quite the sensation now. Everyone out there is practically lifting you up to the heavens, so why would you have time for a small fry like me?â
Calista couldnât bear her sour and prickly tone anymore. âIf youâre not busy, I still have much to do, and besidesâ¦
Calista glanced at the medical examination form in Mirabelleâs hand. âYou must have just finished your checkâup and are in a hurry to leave, right? I wonât hold you up.â
Calistaâs casual comment greatly provoked Mirabelle. Mirabelle moved the papers in her hand behind her back and responded with a cold laugh, âDo you know why I came here? Let me tell you. Iâm pregnant!â
Calista was taken aback, and she immediately furrowed her brows. âWhat does your pregnancy have to do with me?â
Since she was standing a step higher than Mirabelle, she looked down at her condescendingly, finding her a bit perplexing-
A flash of hostility flickered in Mirabelleâs eyes when Calista dismissed her as if she were nothing.
âWell, thatâs because Iâm carrying Kalâs child!â Mirabelle said.
Hearing that, Calista looked at her.

Mirabelle gave you know what Kal does when he leaves the house? You didnât even know he was in bed with me!â
a cold laugh, her eyes filled with hidden implications. âEven though you live together, do
Calista squinted her eyes. Secing Mirabelle inexplicably reminded Calista of Quincyâs words from her previous life, right before her death. Quincy had said that Kallum was engaged to Mirabelle
A glint of mystery flashed in Mirabelleâs eyes when she saw Calistaâs concerned look. She then chuckled lightly and said, âLady, you should not set your expectations too high. You ought to understand that a manâs patience is finite. Moreover, which man doesnât cheat on their partner? Especially when it comes to a woman who is obedient toward him. Men simply relish in it!â
Calista let out a soft chuckle. âAre you done speaking?â
She didnât believe a word Mirabelle said. Her upset expression earlier was merely due to the unpleasant memories from her previous life resurfacing.
âYou donât believe me?â Mirabelle was intentionally trying to provoke her. Many people were coming and going down the spiral staircase, but none of them knew what they were talking about. They assumed they were just friends having a chat.
Mirabelle leaned in and said, âYou have no idea how passionate Kal is toward me⦠I bet you canât satisfy him. Otherwise, he wouldnât be so drawn to meâ¦â
Mirabelle gradually found herself at a loss for words because Calista looked at her with an extremely cold gaze. The mockery hidden within Calistaâs indifference made her feel like a clown.
âIâve got things to handle, so I canât stick around to entertain you. Youâll have to carry on without me.â
After finishing her words, Calista was about to leave. At that moment, Mirabelle reached out to grab her am Without looking back, Calista shrugged off her grasp, only to hear Mirabelle let out a sharp scream.
Calista turned around, only to see Mirabelle tumbling downward. Instinctively, she wanted to reach out and grab her, but Mirabelle didnât extend her hand toward her.
Everyone downstairs turned their attention in the direction of Mirabelleâs shrick. Calista had her hand extended, making it look as if she was the one who had pushed Mirabelle.
Panic surged through the crowd instantly. Some attempted to catch her, but it was already too late. Mirabelle had tumbled all the way down from the top to the
bottom.
Everyone had gathered around, and Mirabelle was hunched over, clutching her stomach on the ground. Thick blood was seeping out from under her, a shockingly unsettling sight.
Mirabelle tilted her head back in agony, looking in the direction of Calista, and tears immediately started to stream down her face. âCalista⦠IâIâm already in sâsuch a state of misery! Wonât you let off?â
Calista? Upon hearing this wellâknown name, everyone turned their heads toward the top of the spiral staircase. There stood a young girl, her demeanor cold and detached. Indeed, it was Calista
Mirabelleâs tears continued to fall relentlessly when she saw Calista keeping mum. âThis is Mr. Huntingtonâs first child⦠HâHe wanted to have a shotgun wedding. Calista, yâyouâre ruthless!â
Even though Mirabelle was in extreme pain, she still gritted her teeth and spoke to everyone, word by word.

Her words caused many to regard Calista with disapproving looks. A doctor rushed over to assist Mirabelle, who conveniently collapsed weakly into the doctorâs arms.
