Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 220 Planted A Bomb "Why should I listen to someone who's about to be locked up in jail, acting like a rabid dog, biting at anyone in sight?" Kallum frowned, his expression revealing his discontent. "Callie, let's go," he said. "Let him say whatever he wants. Anyone who would believe him is probably as crazy as he is." Suppressing the odd sensation, Calista gave a slight nod.

Despite her efforts, she still couldn't figure out how Sterling had managed to dodge a bullet and avoid infection. Before she arrived, she had considered the possibility that Sterling might be, like her, an asymptomatic carrier. But observing his demeanor, she dismissed that possibility due to the lack of physical discomfort, However, since Sterling was going to jail anyway, any questions she had could be asked later. It was best not to linger in this place for too long.

"You're leaving?" Sterling finally broke the silence, smiling as a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

"I've planted a bomb here. If you take another step, we're all going to die together. You've pushedthis far, I don't even want to live anymore!" His words sent shockwaves through the crowd! A bomb? Did Sterling actually intend to kill them all? "Quiet!" Sterling's hand slid over a remote control. "Make another noise, and I'll press it!" His expression didn't seem feigned, he genuinely wanted to take everyone down with him! Calista looked at Kallum with a stern expression. However, Kallum was well-prepared for all of this. The people he had arranged beforehand had already infiltrated the Wolford residence. Even if there were explosives, dismantling them was only a matter of time. Hence, both of them remained composed.

Upon seeing that Kallum remained silent, everyone else also calmed down. However, they were still filled with a mix of fear and anger! "Sterling! Have you lost your mind? We trusted you. That's why we came. How could you even think of blowing us up?" "How could you do such a horrifying thing? My child is still at hwaiting for me..." "Drop the remote now! If you don't want to end up in jail, we're all friends here, we can find a way out for you. You don't have to go down this path alone." "Jerk! You'll go to hell for doing this!" Upon hearing the surrounding persuasions and insults, Sterling laughed in triumph. Everyone was focused on him, everyone despised him, yet they were powerless against him. At that moment, he was the man in charge! These people were nothing but ants to him! He toyed with the remote control. "It seems you are truly courting death." The deep, resonating voice of Sterling finally managed to calm them all down. Stried to subtly edge toward the entrance, only to find that all the doors and windows of the hall had been securely locked! "What do you want?" Calista asked calmly. Having experienced death once, she feared nothing. Of course, she also valued her life more than anyone else.

"What do I want? I want money...

The money you took was supposed to be mine! If I had it, I wouldn't have had to go to prison. Harvey, that b*stard, wouldn't have abandoned me, and my capital flow could have been restored. All of this... you've ruined it! You b*tch!" As Sterling continued to speak, his gaze grew increasingly fierce. Each word he uttered seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth! Calista chuckled lightly. "You look quite pitiful. Are you saying all this in hopes of gaining my sympathy?" A cold glint surfaced in her eyes as she scoffed. "What a pity. In my view, you are no different from Harvey. If he once favored you, it just means that you both share the snature. Discarding something when it's no longer valuable, isn't that a tactic you're quite familiar with? Or is it that you're the one being discarded now, and you can't bear the humiliation?" "Calista, are you deliberately provoking me?" His voice was laced with frustration. "Do you think what I'm holding is a toy? If they die, it's on you!" Sterling seized the chance to cast shade on Calista.

Calista scoffed coldly. "Pleading for mercy from a madman is as ludicrous as expecting a butcher to lay down his cleaver. Even if it means death, I won't beg you, not even a single word." Upon hearing this, Sterling revealed a peculiar expression. He held the remote, silent for a long while, his gaze swept over Calista and then over Kallum. Finally, he abruptly gestured toward Calista with a twisted smile. "How about this? If you cover, I'll hand you the remote. I know Kallum's men are still trying to locate the bomb, but they'll need time. All you need to do is cover right now, and I'll give you the remote." Upon seeing Kallum reach out to grab Calista, Sterling's expression darkened.

"If you don't cover by the count of three, I'll detonate the explosives! One!" Everyone was intently looking at Calista, hoping she would step in and prevent Sterling from losing his mind any further! That was people's true nature. For the sake of their own safety, their sense of morality tends to mysteriously vanish.

Kallum tightly grasped Calista's hand. "Don't go. Even if there's an explosion, we'll be fine."

When he entered, he had already conducted a scan with his devide. If there had been a significant amount of explosive's, he would have detected it prior to his entry.

However, the alarm did notsound, indicating that the amount of explosives Sterling had planted was minimal, so minimal that it was undetectable.

The explosive's blast wasn't going to be that powerful, at least not enough to endanger everyone in the banquet hall. Moreover, they had all donned bulletproof vests.

However, things would be different if Calista were to go near Sterling. What if Sterling had strapped the om explosives to himself with the intention to perish with Callie? Seeing that Calista was hesitant, Sterling removed his coat.
