Chapter 232 Something To Hide It appeared that the onlookers also harbored suspicions that the Fairchild family was attempting to conceal something significant. The swift manner in which they dealt with the disruptor, Warrick, seemed to confirm their suspicions. Is this not a sign that they indeed have secrets to hide? The bystanders felt powerless; they could do nothing but observe as Warrick was forcibly removed, his protests echoing loudly through the hall.
"Wait!" Warrick's voice carried a palpable sense of urgency as he continued to shout. "Mr. Kallum, you owe everyone an explanation! Just clarify your sudden change of heart toward Calista! Tell us, and we'll believe there's nothing dubious going on between you two!" Kallum couldn't help but find the whole situation rather amusing. He looked over the crowd with a faint smirk, raising an eyebrow as he asked sarcastically, "So, you all believe I owe you an explanation?" The crowd, caught off guard, quickly shook their heads, though internally many disagreed. On the surface, however, they aligned with Kallum's perspective.

"Absolutely, absolutely. And as for your newfound affection for Ms. Stafford... well, she certainly has her charms. But that's a personal matter, isn't it?" Yet, even as they said this, their eyes couldn't help but dart curiously toward Calista.
The tic shift in Kallum's behavior toward Calista, as well as her unexpected decision to research the K Virus in Corleon, had certainly raised eyebrows.
Moreover, Calista's known brilliance in medical research only added to the speculation. Could she really have discovered a way to swiftly conceal Kallum's symptoms or even prolong his life tically? Even if Kallum were to pass away, as long as it wasn't from an illness, it likely wouldn't cause much of a stir. However, if it cto light that he had contracted a disease and chose to treat it secretly, risking public safety, it would plunge the Fairchild family into a severe crisis of credibility.
The atmosphere in the room was charged with tension, the underlying currents of unrest palpable even after Warrick had been expelled.
Amid this chaos, Calista and Kallum exchanged glances, signaling that it was tto unveil the explanations they had meticulously prepared.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, Calista grasped Kallum's hand, her laughter ringing softly in the air. "I never imagined everyone would be so curious about me. Since that's the case, it seems only fair that I don't keep secrets anymore." The crowd's attention sharpened, a collective breath held in anticipation. Are they about to reveal sshocking secrets? | Calista motioned to silence the music and stood confidently beside Kallum, who relaxed visibly at her touch. "Do you want to know why Kallum's feelings forchanged? Why he suddenly began to treatas if I were a treasure?" She smiled gently, turning to look at Kallum. "It's because, after more than a decade, I finally managed to touch his heart..." A hush fell over the room. What? Kallum and Calista are in love with each other? That seems far-fetched; surely, this is a facade to cover the real truth! Regardless of the stir below, Calista continued, her voice calm and clear, "He didn't care forinitially because of a misunderstanding. After stime, I stepped back and was adopted into the Fairchild family We spent a great deal of ttogether, which cleared up any misunderstandings. Eventually, my persistent affection reached him, and he began to accept me. It's rare to find someone who can continue loving another for so long as I have..." Though it was all an act, something genuine seemed to stir within
Kallum as Calista's fingers interlaced with his, her subtle fragrance enveloping them. Kallum'sexpression softened, a small, almost imperceptible smile forming on his lips. Unbeknownst to him, there was a noticeable sparkle in his eyes as he looked at Calista. Surprisingly, many of the women in the room started to believe the narrative. Could it be true that Mr. Kallum has indeed fallen in love? This new understanding evoked a mix of envy and admiration.
Calista, noting the change in
Kallum's eyes, felt a rush of satisfaction. With a poised smile, she explained further, "When we confirmed our feelings for each other, had just recently becthe Fairchilds' goddaughter. It wasn't the right tto announce our changed relationship. Plus, I'm still quite young, so we opted to keep this a secret for now and planned to talk about it openly in a few years. I didn't anticipate it would lead to such misunderstandings..."
Her voice carried a hint of frustration as she continued, "My fascination with the K Virus stems from m deep-seated curiosity every genius possesses a relentless spirit.
Faced with sof the world's most daunting challenges, the toughest viruses naturally spark my interest. That's what drewto Corleon."
