Chapter 291: WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
Calista turned on the shield she once used on the Green family. Her deceased former husband’s family when she threatened them at their house after Benita went far with her shamelessness.
It was a shield that could freeze anything in time for a while, whilst consuming her vitality. It was something that she didn’t like using much, but at moments like these, she couldn’t help but want to sacrifice a bit just to get her revenge.
She knew that by tomorrow morning, the manor would be on fire. She trusted that Nayeli would spread the rumors far and wide. The family would be the topic everyone would be talking about tomorrow and many days to come.
Rumors were scary once they spread. They cause scandals and scandals are capable of destroying lives. An angel could be turned into a devil because of a single rumor.
Thankfully, in this case, everything was very true. Just that it was never seen or heard of before.
After freezing time, Calista walked into the old lady’s house and snickered when she saw her sleeping.
This old lady had caused the deaths of so many people, and for what?
Haha, Calista couldn’t help but laugh mockingly at herself as she remembered the lame excuse the old lady used when flogging her while other slaves were watching fearfully and trembling at night.
"She seduced her master!"
She, who was so young, without any flesh and her periods were very irregular. Why should she even seduce a man when she couldn’t even feed herself?
With such a thorny and thin body, she was given the crime of seducing her masters and got killed for it.
She was busy thinking of how to survive and not about a man. So how could she do that?
She killed her discriminately when she was the one in the wrong. Was it a crime to be a slave?
If it was, then she was going to give her a taste of her medicine. She wanted the old lady to suffer so badly and experience what it was like being helpless and unable to save herself.
Once she got into the room, she walked towards her bed and her movements aroused the old lady from sleep.
The old lady didn’t panic like other people who wake up and see others in their private room. Rather, she sat on the bed and looked at her curiously, perhaps coming up with several methods to deal with the situation.
Calista appreciated the old lady’s wisdom or rather courage for being so calm in such a matter. Who didn’t know that those who came at night wearing black weren’t good people?
"Who are you?" after seeing Calista not speaking, the old lady asked.
Calista smiled throughout the veil and sat across from the old lady on a stool. She tilted her head playfully as she tried to gauge the old lady’s current emotions, but the other was too experienced and it made it hard for her.
She saw that she couldn’t play with the old lady as she wanted and that she would be wasting her vitality, which she desperately needed. She decided to cut the story short and end the play sooner.
So, in response to the old lady’s question, Calista removed the veil from her face and revealed her face. And felt glad that she did. As she saw the old lady’s unfazed expression finally cracked.
’It seems that I got her good!’
Lady Thomas couldn’t believe what her eyes were seeing. She was feeling like her eyes were failing her. Otherwise, why would that obedient and slightly naughty child be in her bedroom unscathed when there were so many guards and maids outside?
"You .... How could you be here?"
Calista spread her arms as she shrugged nonchalantly, a rude gesture to the elderly, but didn’t care about it at all.
The old lady was furious when she saw that. She opened her mouth and started calling for the maids, but Calista laughed mockingly at her as she stood up.
"Old lady, there is no use to call anyone. No one will hear you. Even if I kill you now, no one will know!" Calista dissuaded the old lady with a mocking tone while approaching her.
The old lady didn’t dare not believe what she had just heard, although she was a bit skeptical about everything.
"You .... why are you doing this? Is it money that you want? Is that why you approached my family?" the old lady started asking questions, holding onto her quilt with strength.
Calista applauded the old lady for reacting in such a manner despite her fear of death. When facing the unknown, she was interested in knowing about her intentions. Wasn’t she afraid of death?
"Why are you asking the wrong questions? Aren’t you afraid that I might kill you here?" Calista curiously asked, a sly smile on her face.
The old lady scoffed as she looked at Calista and answered, "If you wanted me dead, I would be dead already. There should be a reason why you revealed yourself. You wanted me to find you and see you. Now that you have achieved it. Why don’t we talk about it?"
"Oh~" Calista amusedly exclaimed with a sparkle in her eyes. This old lady’s courage was something that was needed in life.
If she couldn’t sense that fear emitting from the old lady, she would be the one panicking.
"Who sent you? Who paid you? I can pay you double or triple!" the old lady made an offer.
When Calista heard that, she scratched her chin thoughtfully, and that made the old lady sigh with relief.
A person who could be negotiated with was better than one who couldn’t. As long as she manages to get out of this bind, she will return this favor in the future and make Calista regret messing with her family like that.
After some thought, Calista answered, "I don’t need money. I don’t lack it. However, there is something that you can give me. As long as you do so, I will leave you intact. How about it?" and suggested slyly.
When the old lady heard that, she looked suspiciously at Calista. Was it really possible not to suffer any consequences?
Calista, as if sensing the old lady’s thoughts, smiled mysteriously at her and started stripping off.
"You.... What are you doing?" the old lady asked with a stutter as she looked in disbelief at the person undressing in front of her.
Calista smirked as she stood in her undergarments in front of the old lady and answered, "I don’t have any weapon on me. Which means that I didn’t come here to kill. Do you believe me now?"
Teasing the old lady was truly fun. Besides, she wasn’t here to kill anyone and even if she wanted to kill, her weapons were all stored in the storage ring. She just needed to think about it and it would appear. Why bother carrying weight when she could be smart?
