Chapter 144 A New Friend
After returning home, Quincy relayed everything she had seen and heard that day to Yelena. As she spoke, there was still a hint of lingering fear in her voice!
Calistaâs previous actions had already frightened her. When Kallum arrived later, she hastily slipped away, thankful for her quick escape. Otherwise, if Kallum had discovered her spying, he would undoubtedly have taken his anger out on her!
After hearing everything, Yelenaâs head achie
She began to confide in Quincy, sharing her deepest thoughts and feelings..
âQuincy, you must grow up quickly⦠Your father hasnât slept with me for a long time, from now on, I have to rely on you in this family. If you donât step up, thereâll be no future for us.â
Upon reflection, Quincy realized it was true. Calista was practically a member of the Fairchild family now, making it incredibly difficult to do anything to her in the future.
But how was she supposed to prove herself? She couldnât even find a mentor at the moment! Staying at Bayview University was nothing short of embarrassing!
Suddenly, Quincy remembered that Calista was about to take her combined masterâs and doctoral program examination. If she wasnât mistaken, besides the examination, the students were also required to independently concoct a medicine to demonstrate their medical aptitude. Many could only manage to improve existing medicine, but Calista was different. She was exceptionally talented in medical research and was sure to present her own findings. If she could just get her hands on that, she would be guaranteed to be able to find a mentor.
At that moment, the Yost family was steeped in an atmosphere of gloom and despair.
âIn other words, Kallum realized youâve been deceiving him for nearly a decade! Mirabelle! Why didnât you learn to swim?â
George sternly questioned while Mirabelle cried her heart out.
âI did learn! I really did, but I didnât learn for very long. That pool was so deep, and Mr. Kallum was so intimidating! I was scaredâ¦â
Her mother couldnât bear to watch anymore. Holding Mirabelle, she choked out, âWhat do we do now? Are we really going to send our daughter to prison? What kind of future would she have? Donât forget, sheâs a celebrity. If she goes to prison, her life will be ruined! George, you have to think of something!â
âWhat else can she do besides crying? How many times have I told her not to act impulsively? Look at what sheâs done! How could she threw a rock at someone else! If that had hit them in the head, there would be no need for prison, itâd be a death sentence!â George said indignantly.
âWhat do we do now, George? I donât care! My daughter canât go to prison, canât we find someone to take her place?â Mirabelleâs mother clung tightly to her, as if afraid someone might snatch her away.
âThereâs no other way! Either Calista willingly drops the case, or we find a way quell Kallumâs anger! Thereâs simply no other solution!â
At this point, Mirabelle was seized by fear. She hurriedly said, âIâll beg Calista! Iâll kneel and plead with her!

Naturally, George didnât want Mirabelle to end up in jail. So, in a serious tone, he said, âThe court officials will be here soon. Iâll find a way to stall them. Mirabelle, go to school and talk to Calista. As long as she doesnât press charges, youâll be fine!â
Mirabelle hastily wiped away her tears, quickly composed herself, and went off to school. However, deep down, her resentment toward Calista had reached its peak!
The Yost family had always been affiliated to the Fairchild family. In terms of relations, they were far more connected than the Stafford family! She felt that she didnât deserve any of this.
When it came to status, the Yost family was also leagues ahead of the Stafford family!
Why should she, a young lady from the Yost family, have to plead with Calista?
Mirabelle displayed a crazed expression. âCalista, oh Calista, you better behave! Otherwise, if I have to go to jail. I wonât make things easy for your family!â
Since the exams were just around the corner, Calista spent her lunchtime engrossed in her books. As for the incident that happened the previous night, Kallum had assured her that he would take care of it. She naturally treated it as if it never happened, after all, the exams were her current priority.
Although she possessed advanced knowledge, the fact that she hadnât completed her university education in her previous life was a lingering pain in her heart.
Moreover, there were many gaps in the knowledge she had acquired, which required foundational information to fill. At times, she even needed guidance from a mentor. Hence, she had to continuously pursue higher learning to further improve herself and to avoid squandering her talent and gifts.
âCalistal Calista, Mirabelle announced in the square that sheâs looking for you!â
Calista finished off the last bite of her meal, and immediately, a servant sent by the Fairchild family came to clear it away.
Feeling intrigued that Mirabelle had sought her out, Calista rose and headed outside.
âCalista, be careful,â warned her female classmate, noticing Calistaâs nonchalant expression. âI have a feeling she might be up to no good!â
The gossip of Mirabelle crying wolf and accusing her of being a homewrecker previously had already spread like wildfire throughout the school!
It was then that everyone found out that Calista was also a wealthy young lady. They had always liked her for her modesty and diligence, so at this moment, seeing that Mirabelle had came prepared, they kindly warned her.
Calista rarely conversed with strangers, as she was inherently quite reclusive. However, she did acknowledge their kindness.
âThank you,â Calista said, somewhat unaccustomed.
âNo worries!â The girlâs eyes were firmly fixed on Calistaâs delicate face. âMy name is Tabitha! Can we be friends?â
Calista paused in her stride. The mention of friends brought Mirabelle to mind. However, she was no longer the naive girl she used to be. She had learned how to read people.

This Tabitha, at first glance, was clearly a simple and straight forward girl. Her eyes shone brightly as she looked at her, harboring no ill will.
What she didnât know was that Tabithaâs sparkling eyes were filled with infatuation! She used to be too shy to converse with Calista, but now that she could, she was beyond thrilled. It was such a refreshing change!
