Semua Bab You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone: Bab 351 - Bab 360

Nikolette shot them a scornful stare."You're the ones who are up to something. You and Calista are the same. You skank…"Yara promptly stuffed the towel she had used to wipe her hands into Nikolette's mouth.She had been wiping her hands before she came outside. With how much of a hurry she had been in, she had accidentally brought it out with her.Moments ago, she had been wondering where she could toss the towel. Now, she found it quite handy to have.She stared at Calista who was kneeling on the ground as if she were searching for something."What are you doing? What's got you keeping your eyes peeled for the bathroom's entrance?""I'm looking for hair," Calista answered.Calista had a sudden epiphany. But she wasn't entirely sure if her guess was correct.Vivian had gone to the Everglade Manor at an earlier time to manipulate her and Hugo into undergoing a paternity test.Based on her reaction, she was genuinely hoping that she was a child of the Jacquez family.Given h

Calista had just gotten to the door when Liam entered. He greeted her with a slight tilt of his head before quickly approaching Hugo. "I've looked into it, Mr. Jacquez. Nikolette recently consulted a lawyer. She was looking into whether or not the money spent on a child could be reclaimed after they're proven to not be biologically part of the family. She admitted that the reason she pulled Ms. Calista's hair was because Zachary instructed her to do so. Zachary didn't want to go to jail. He didn't want loan sharks to come after him once he was released either. So, he thought of forcing Ms. Calista to help him this way."This was getting awkward. However, Calista was quick to admit her mistakes. She turned around and offered a forced yet apologetic smile."I'm sorry. It seems I've misunderstood you and Vivian. It's getting late. I'll prepare a gift some other time as an apology.""This is just a small misunderstanding. There's no need to worry about it. As long as the matter has be

Calista said, "You only have one chance to speak, so make it good. I've also uncovered a lot over these years. Don't you dare lie to me? Think about what Nikolette did today. I might have to get a doctor to look at the injuries. Then, you might get a reunion with your daughter." She even showed him a picture taken by onlookers in the restaurant, capturing when Nikolette pulled her hair.In the photo, Calista appeared weak, pitiful, and helpless. It was apparent she was being intimidated. Zachary was speechless. Zachary thought Nikolette was foolish to hand her the evidence on a silver platter, but he also felt she should have been harder on Calista, looking at her arrogant demeanor. "Someone approached me back then, asking for your mother's help restoring a painting. I thought it was nothing, so I agreed." He skipped over the details, not mentioning he'd been tricked or accepted a large sum of money from the client.Nor did he mention how he had begged and pressured Joan aft

She sent him letters for a month but received no reply. At that time, Paul didn't like her, so it made sense that he threw away her letters. Lucian froze instantly. However, Calista was merely asking a casual question. She didn't expect a response nor realized Lucian stiffed up. She had no idea he was contemplating whether to tell her the truth. While some methods used to pursue women might be acceptable, he had already deceived her about the watch incident.He could still find excuses back then. But when it came to the love letters, it was a different matter. Before he could figure it out, Calista reached out and put away the stack of cards, pushing them toward Lucian."Alright, keep them." They were sitting by the window on the first floor, and the stack of cards was too conspicuous. Calista could see several passersby glancing their way.She didn't want to be knocked unconscious and stuffed in a sack as soon as they left the restaurant. "We aren't even officially dating

At the same time, an anxious voice bellowed behind her, "Zayn, your son has been kidnapped. the kidnappers have demanded that you answer the phone, and there are only ten seconds left before they kill him. Please speak quickly." Calista's hand froze in mid-air as she reached for the receiver. She knew she couldn't get any helpful information from Zayn anymore, even though she had promised to protect them.This man would not reveal anything. With bloodshot eyes, Zayn rushed to the glass and stammered, "This is Zayn! I know. I will never make that mistake again! Please release my son, I beg you!" After saying that, he kept banging his head against the glass and repeated, "I beg you, I beg you." The prison guards on the side couldn't stop him in time. He hit it so hard his forehead was bleeding. Calista looked at the bloodstains streaking down the transparent glass and felt like she had entered a daze. She walked out of the visiting hall with cold hands and feet, and behind h
