Chapter 480 Nothing To Be Jealous Of

Jarrett had been watching them from behind for a long time. It wasnât until Calista got into the back seat and waved goodbye that he snapped out of it.
What was he obsessing over? According to the familyâs psychiatrist, no matter how many times you tell Calista, âI like you,â to her, itâs like saying. âIâll treat you to a meal.â She might feel awkward for a moment, but that wouldnât reach her heart.
Kallum had reached his current position not only because he had planted himself firmly in her heart from the beginning but also because he had repeatedly faced lifeâandâdeath situations, spending a long time and effort. His rewards came from opportunities he seized.
There really was nothing to be jealous of
With these thoughts, Jarrett hopped onto his bike and rode off. This time, however, he didnât wear a helmet, letting the cold wind scrape against his face like a knife.
Kallum rode in the opposite direction from Jarrett. His speed wasnât fast, which puzzled Calista. After all, she had expected Kallum to speed away. He didnât seem like the type to ride slowly.
âWhy arenât you going faster?â
Kallumâs muffled voice came through his helmet, somewhat intermittent.
âI want you to hold me a bit longer.â
Calista was momentarily speechless. As the bike rode along the mountain path at a slow pace, she could clearly see the beautiful sunset. Her negative emotions gradually dissipated, making her feel lighter.
However, Calista wasnât destined to have dinner at Fairchild Manor because at that moment, Benedict called her for li
When she answered, her previously serene expression turned cold.
âI might need to go back to the Stafford residence.â
Calista unhappily nuzzled against Kallumâs back. Her unconscious action melted Kallumâs heart, and he immediately said, âNo problem. We can go back after youâve taken care of things.â
And so, they rode the motorcycle to the Stafford residence.
Before they could even get in, they could hear someone crying inside. The voice was pitifully familiar to Calista.
âDad, you
you must help me this time, I wouldnât come to you if I werenât desperate. I promise this is the first and last time. After this, Devon and I will go abroad and never bother Callie again. Please, you have to help
me.â
Quincy knelt on the ground, crying her heart out. She sounded earnest as she just needed his help this one
time.
Benedict had initially intended to refuse, but Quincy wouldnât get up from the door. People around were pointing and whispering, making him feel awkward.

He could be harsh with Yelena because she had deceived him first, but Quincy hadnât done anything wrong in principle. Although she wasnât his biological daughter, he had doted on her for eighteen years. Seeing her now, haggard and pleading, he felt a twinge of pity.
In short, Benedictâs heart was too soft
âCallie will be back soon. You should ask her first about her opinion.â
After dealing with Yelena, Benedict had learned his lesson and dared not make promises, lest Calista blame him.
Hearing this, Quincy quickly wiped her tears and said confidently, âDad, Callie has always listened to you. Please put in a good word for me. Devon will be your sonâinâlaw one day. Youâ¦â
âDad, when did you get another daughter?â
Calista interrupted her and walked in. Her sudden appearance startled everyone in the living room.
With Kallum standing by her side, the noisy living room instantly fell silent.
âWhatâs going on?â Kallumn asked Benedict with displeasure. Although Benedict was kindâhearted, he was too easily swayed, which could easily cause trouble for Calista.
Benedict instinctively stood a bit straighter when Kallum questioned him. He hadnât expected Kallum to come too and was just as flustered as Quincy.
After a moment of surprise, the chubby man in the living room quickly came over to greet them.
âMr. Kallum? Itâs an honor to meet you. Iâm Isaac Webb, chairman of Havelock Corporation. I didnât expect to see you here, what a lucky day.â
Kallum glanced at his outstretched hand and frowned, but he didnât shake it
âI asked, what are you all doing in my fatherâinâlawâs house?â
Hearing Kallum acknowledge Benedict as his fatherâinâlaw, Isaac immediately lost his contempt for Benedict. He awkwardly withdrew his hand but continued to smile.
âTo be honest, Mr. Kallum, Iâm here to ask for help.
He pointed to a sullen man in a wheelchair and sighed, âMy son has a strange illness. Weâve been to many hospitals, but no one can cure him. I originally wanted to ask Ms. Calista for help a long time ago, butâ¦â
As Kallum was concerned about Calistaâs safety, all her patients were strictly screened.
Additionally, patients who violated certain taboos or had bad character wouldnât be accepted by her. Isaacâs son, Devon Webb, was one such person. He was unable to even get an appointment with Calista due to his bad character.
Calista glanced at the man, then at Quincy, who was silent. âSo, you came to my house to ask for help? If you need help, just ask. Why all the crying? I could hear it from far away. Itâs bad luck.â
