Semua Bab You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Was she being driven mad by Lucian? She had started sleepwalking. After finishing her morning routine, Calista visited the doctor to confirm that Lucian was fine. Then, she proceeded to complete the discharge procedures."Are you going back alone, or should I call Mr. Whitman to pick you up?" Lucian leaned against the bedhead.He sneered, "The doctor said I can leave?" Lucian was watched overnight due to a minor injury on his forehead. Calista wanted nothing more than to get rid of this troublesome guy quickly, so she restrained her usual sharp tongue and repeated the doctor's advice."Yes. Refrain from wetting the wound until it heals, and avoid alcohol and spicy foods." It was now winter, and not washing his hair for a few days wouldn't result in any significant odor. However, it would certainly pose a challenge for someone as fastidious about cleanliness as Lucian.Lucian lazily remarked, "But I still feel dizzy." Calista frowned and stared at him cautiously. She felt

Lucian gave her a look that read, "That's such an obvious question.""Not a chance!"Calista was never going to let him stay here."One thousand dollars a night."He tried to negotiate."No. Who knows what you're gonna do to me.""Why are you so confident that I'm going to do something to you?"She naturally recalled the unpleasant experience, which made the corner of her lips twitch."Anyways, you cannot stay here."She had an idea to make the divorce happen—living separately from him for two years. Lucian's expression was icy as he became impatient."Mom knows that we're living separately.""It's still a no.""Ten thousand dollars per day."He offered so much that Calista finally gave in. Her attitude turned better as she accepted the offer. "The payment shall be made at the end of the day. No checks accepted. You can wire the money to me."While he was at a loss for words, she showed him her bank account number. He had a glimpse of it before shifting his gaze away.

"Mr. Yarrow humiliated you under Calista's orders. If Mr. Northwood hadn't come, the investment would've gone out of the window.""You danced for nothing," Queenie said.Even though Lucian wouldn't do anything to Calista just because she said that, Queenie thought he would at least comfort Lily. Yet, he didn't say anything.Queenie looked at him only to see his distracted side. He wasn't listening to her.After making the phone call, Andrew asked carefully, "Mr. Northwood, it will take some time before the contract is printed. How about a drink together?""It's fine. Pass it to Ms. Yates after it's done. I have something else to attend to."Andrew was speechless by how quickly Lucian changed his attitude. Had he not been watching Lucian, Andrew would've thought that the person who wanted the contract clinched urgently was someone else.Lily stood up."It won't take long. We can go home with Queenie to drop her home along the way."Queenie's place was located along the way to E

Nikolette tried to avoid answering him. She did not want to show weakness in front of Calista. However, the woman beside her opened her mouth. She was the waitress at the cafe."I'll talk! Ms. Everhart …"She tried to approach Calista, but one of the bodyguards pulled her back."I sent the audio recording to a friend by mistake, and then," she pointed at Nikolette furiously, "she came to me and forced me to sell her the recording. She said she's your sister, and the recording was damaging your reputation. I thought she seemed trustworthy, so I sold it to her. I didn't know she would be so evil and leak it to the press!"Not everything she said was true, but Nikolette did not refute any of it. She held her head high and looked at Calista haughtily."So what if I leaked it to the press? It's the truth anyway, isn't it, Calista? I didn't just leak the recording to the press, I also leaked the photos of you with Mr. Northwood. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to marry him, given your s

Selena placed a hand over her chest as she got up. She felt overwhelmed by the information, to the point that she had lost her appetite. Calista moved to help her, but she turned her down."I need some quiet. Finish your food, then leave. I don't know how many more surprises like this my heart can withstand."Then, she waved a hand at Macy."Give them the invitation."Macy picked up an invitation from the coffee table and handed it to Calista before going to the kitchen.Technically, Lucian was her employer, so she should've given the invitation to him instead of Calista, but his cold smile terrified her.Calista opened the invitation. It was an invitation to an engagement party. When she saw the bride's name, she raised an eyebrow. It was one of her classmates from university.Lucian had been looking at her, so when he saw her expression, he asked, "Someone you don't like?""Not really. We weren't close."It was the kind of natural enmity between the top of the class and the
