Just as Calista decided to ignore her and pass her by, Mirabelle suddenly asked in a hushed voice, “Could we step aside for a chat?”
Someone grabbed her arm in the hallway, so Calista had no choice but to turn around. She looked at Mirabelle somewhat helplessly and replied, “I really don’t have anything to say to you.”
Darren stood off to the side, somewhat perplexed. “Ms. Stafford, who is this?”
Before Calista could respond to him, Mirabelle had already drawn Calista’s attention back to her.
“How could there be nothing to talk about? After all, we’ve known each other for over a decade. Or is it that you now feel too superior to exchange a few words with us ordinary folks?” Mirabelle asked.
Upon hearing Mirabelle’s words, Darren felt a bit awkward standing off to the side. He responded with a smile, “Since Ms. Stafford has run into a familiar face, feel free to chat. I will wait for you in the conference room upstairs with the other experts.
After speaking, he tactfully led the others away.
Calista felt somewhat helpless. She actually hadn’t wanted to converse with Mirabelle. Yet, Mirabelle seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
“Now, Ms. Stafford, do you have some time to chat with me?” Mirabelle asked.
“What do you have to say?” Calista glanced at her. This former enemy of hers looked worn out then, her face pale and haggard. Though she was still dressed in white, she no longer had that graceful and innocent aura. She was more like an innocent woman who had been through hardships. There was also an indescribable gloominess between her brows.
“What’s the rush? Oh, wait. You’re quite the sensation now. Everyone out there is practically lifting you up to the heavens, so why would you have time for a small fry like me?”
Calista couldn’t bear her sour and prickly tone anymore. “If you’re not busy, I still have much to do, and besides…
Calista glanced at the medical examination form in Mirabelle’s hand. “You must have just finished your check–up and are in a hurry to leave, right? I won’t hold you up.”
Calista’s casual comment greatly provoked Mirabelle. Mirabelle moved the papers in her hand behind her back and responded with a cold laugh, “Do you know why I came here? Let me tell you. I’m pregnant!”
Calista was taken aback, and she immediately furrowed her brows. “What does your pregnancy have to do with me?”
Since she was standing a step higher than Mirabelle, she looked down at her condescendingly, finding her a bit perplexing-
A flash of hostility flickered in Mirabelle’s eyes when Calista dismissed her as if she were nothing.
“Well, that’s because I’m carrying Kal’s child!” Mirabelle said.
Hearing that, Calista looked at her.

Mirabelle gave you know what Kal does when he leaves the house? You didn’t even know he was in bed with me!”
a cold laugh, her eyes filled with hidden implications. “Even though you live together, do
Calista squinted her eyes. Secing Mirabelle inexplicably reminded Calista of Quincy’s words from her previous life, right before her death. Quincy had said that Kallum was engaged to Mirabelle
A glint of mystery flashed in Mirabelle’s eyes when she saw Calista’s concerned look. She then chuckled lightly and said, “Lady, you should not set your expectations too high. You ought to understand that a man’s patience is finite. Moreover, which man doesn’t cheat on their partner? Especially when it comes to a woman who is obedient toward him. Men simply relish in it!”
Calista let out a soft chuckle. “Are you done speaking?”
She didn’t believe a word Mirabelle said. Her upset expression earlier was merely due to the unpleasant memories from her previous life resurfacing.
“You don’t believe me?” Mirabelle was intentionally trying to provoke her. Many people were coming and going down the spiral staircase, but none of them knew what they were talking about. They assumed they were just friends having a chat.
Mirabelle leaned in and said, “You have no idea how passionate Kal is toward me… I bet you can’t satisfy him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so drawn to me…”
Mirabelle gradually found herself at a loss for words because Calista looked at her with an extremely cold gaze. The mockery hidden within Calista’s indifference made her feel like a clown.
“I’ve got things to handle, so I can’t stick around to entertain you. You’ll have to carry on without me.”
After finishing her words, Calista was about to leave. At that moment, Mirabelle reached out to grab her am Without looking back, Calista shrugged off her grasp, only to hear Mirabelle let out a sharp scream.
Calista turned around, only to see Mirabelle tumbling downward. Instinctively, she wanted to reach out and grab her, but Mirabelle didn’t extend her hand toward her.
Everyone downstairs turned their attention in the direction of Mirabelle’s shrick. Calista had her hand extended, making it look as if she was the one who had pushed Mirabelle.
Panic surged through the crowd instantly. Some attempted to catch her, but it was already too late. Mirabelle had tumbled all the way down from the top to the
bottom.
Everyone had gathered around, and Mirabelle was hunched over, clutching her stomach on the ground. Thick blood was seeping out from under her, a shockingly unsettling sight.
Mirabelle tilted her head back in agony, looking in the direction of Calista, and tears immediately started to stream down her face. “Calista… I–I’m already in s–such a state of misery! Won’t you let off?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Calista? Upon hearing this well–known name, everyone turned their heads toward the top of the spiral staircase. There stood a young girl, her demeanor cold and detached. Indeed, it was Calista
Mirabelle’s tears continued to fall relentlessly when she saw Calista keeping mum. “This is Mr. Huntington’s first child… H–He wanted to have a shotgun wedding. Calista, y–you’re ruthless!”
Even though Mirabelle was in extreme pain, she still gritted her teeth and spoke to everyone, word by word.

Her words caused many to regard Calista with disapproving looks. A doctor rushed over to assist Mirabelle, who conveniently collapsed weakly into the doctor’s arms.
