Semua Bab You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone: Bab 371 - Bab 380

The next day, Calista had just completed a highly precise repair procedure and was preparing to get up to pour herself a glass of water when her phone rang. She glanced over and saw an unfamiliar number with a Capeton area code. "Hello." "Claude, it's me ..." Calista recognized Vivian's voice and promptly hung up, adding the number to her blacklist. Two minutes later, another call came in from an unknown number, and she knew it was Vivian without a doubt. Was she insane? When things settled down for a few days, she started causing trouble again. After hanging up the phone, Calista set her phone to reject all incoming calls, but before she could, the phone rang again. It annoyed her to her wits. She answered frustratedly, "Are you sick, Vivian? You're testing my limits early in the morning. I've already said my piece! What else do you … " "Miss Calista?"The person on the other end interrupted her as she screamed profanities. "We're calling from Yarlford Prison. Zayn

Henry's arm was stinging from the slap, and he quickly grabbed Selena's hand to stop his wife's outburst. "Can you please wait and see how things unfold before slapping me? Our son just kissed someone else, and she hasn't made his intentions clear yet. She might give him a big slap in the next moment. Then you'll be crying on your way to the police station to defend your son, who harassed a woman in public." Selena rolled her eyes at him and retorted, "You're such a pessimist. Can't you hope for a good outcome for our son and his girlfriend?" Despite her words, she reigned in her excited hand and instead leaned against the wall, keeping a close watch. Her husband was right. Calista hadn't shown any response. It seemed to be one-sided. Calista didn't expect Lucian to kiss her suddenly. Her mind went blank for a moment, and when she realized it, she quickly took a few steps back, creating distance between them. "Lucian, what are you doing? Who gave you the right to kiss me? Wha

Lucian grabbed its body. At this critical moment, instinct took over, and he had no time to find its weak points. Selena hid behind him, and the snake's wide-open mouth bit down on his leg. Lucian forcefully shook his leg, throwing the snake outside, and it landed heavily on the ground. Selena's scream alerted the bodyguards outside, and the snake was quickly removed. Lucian wore a cold expression, his gaze sharp as he stared at the people lined up in the living room. "Why wasn't the package inspected before bringing it in?" "Madam said there was no need to check." Selena didn't often shop online, and she received very few deliveries, perhaps one or two a month. It had been so long without any issues that they had become lax. Lucian clenched his teeth, his eyes sharp. "From now on, everything entering the main house must be inspected. Macy, assist Madam back to her room to rest." Selena wasn't the fearless type, and with her heart condition, she had turned pale from the s

Hugo had just managed to send Lucian, that troublemaker, away after a lot of effort, and he was seething with anger. He asked, "Who got bitten by a snake? Lucian?" Calista didn’t know what to say. He sounded as if he was boasting. What was going on? Hugo probably realized he was being too crude, which wasn't appropriate since he was older. He cleared his throat and asked, "So, how is he doing now?" "Now, he can only stay in bed to recover," Calista got straight to the point. "Yesterday, it was sulfuric acid. Today, it was a venomous snake. Tomorrow, you might receive an invitation to my funeral." Hugo asked, "You're saying the snake was sent in a delivery box to Lucian?" Lucian might have deserved it if he got bitten because of his carelessness. "It was sent to the Stansend Manor. I don’t know who was the recipient, but since they sent it to the house, it's either his mother or his father." She recounted the key details of the incident. Hugo frowned, finding this situ

He forced two words out, "Black Mamba." It was the only thing he could think of right now: a snake similar to the rat snake. Paul said, "You're quite lucky to be bitten by this snake, which is as famous as the Gaboon Viper. But isn't this snake supposed to be native overseas? How did it come to Capeton?" "I can’t explain the details." He felt hopeless and spat, "I'm hanging up." "Then rest well. Cade and I will come to see you tomorrow." After saying this, Paul bid Calista goodnight and hung up. Calista held her phone and looked down at him coldly. "What kind of snake was that?" It seemed he couldn't get away with not telling the truth about this.In a small voice, he said, "A rat snake." Calista looked it up online and chuckled coldly after seeing the description, "It shouldn't have bitten your leg." For the first time, he instantly understood her meaning. He didn't expect that this was the reason. Seeing Calista turn and walk towards the couch, he didn't dare t
