Chapter 44 Make Sure She Goes Down
Calista smiled calmly but looked coldly at Quincy, making her hair stand on end and her smile freeze on her face. "Sure, you guys have fun. Dr. Larkin, let's go upstairs," said Calista. "OK."
Quincy breathed a sigh of relief after Calista had gone upstairs. Her best friend, Giselle Ziegler, ambled over and said with disdain, "So that's your psycho sister? She does have a strange look on her face!"
The look in her eyes was incredible too - just one look and it made her speechless instantly.
A few of the guys also huddled around Quincy and commented in an exaggerated way, "Quincy, what sort of friend are you! Your sister is so pretty and you never introduced her to us!"This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
What they didn't know was, Calista had always attended school with them, but now she had changed her look so drastically that they didn't recognize her at all. "She's so pretty, like a fairy! Quincy, does she have a boyfriend?" asked someone else immediately. Quincy's expression darkened - these boys were normally clamoring for her attention but the moment Calista appeared, they changed camps. Her decision was right after all - just one outstanding Stafford daughter was enough for the world.
Giselle snorted, "Didn't you hear? That woman is a nutcase! It's not a crime for a psycho to commit murder, you know?"
Quincy didn't say anything. She saw that some felt that it was a pity, but there were still others who were still eager to go after her sister, and she just laughed coldly. It didn't matter, after all after today, Calista's life would be in tatters, so there was nothing for her to worry about.
Time slowly ticked away...the atmosphere in the living room became more and more rowdy, but Quincy was very distracted.
She had already agreed with Jonathan to send her a signal when the deed was done so that she could quickly bring everyone into the room. But it had been quite a long time, why hadn't he sent any signal?
Or was Jonathan having too much fun and forgot about his mission?
Meanwhile, in Calista's room, the air was fairly cold and stiff.
Calista and Jonathan were seated across each other and reading. Calista looked calm, but Jonathan looked uncomfortable in his seat, and they were both waiting for their prey to knock on the door.
"Look at how antsy you are. Is it because you think I'm being cruel?"
Calista put her book down and looked at Jonathan as she suppressed a smile.
Jonathan quickly waved his arms, "No, no! You're just taking the necessary defense against them."
It wasn't that he dared not do what she had asked of him, but he was afraid Yelena would teach him a lesson after that.
Calista leaned back and closed her sparkling eyes slightly. Her red lips curled up slightly and looked as elegant as a lady appreciating a theatre performance. If she didn't say anything, all the men would definitely be falling over themselves to get her attention.
"Tell you what," she smiled as she spoke, "Actually I'm a kind person. Send a text message to Quincy now and say that you've lost the medicine. Aphrodisiacs are hard to get, so I'm sure she doesn't have any more on hand and will have to give up the plan. But then if she gives up the plan, our deal today is off as well."
Jonathan was happy when he heard what she said at first, but then when she mentioned the deal would be off, he was unwilling to listen to her. The reward for today was three million, and plus the 2 million he had received, it would be a grand total of five million! Even if he spent his entire lifetime being an honest psychiatrist, he'd never earn five million.
So he quickly replied, "No, I really wasn't trying to imply anything - compared to what this mother and daughter are trying to do to you, your counterattack is too gentle, so I'm just afraid that you'd...regret it."
Calista nodded, "You're right, I suddenly don't want to do this anymore. Send the text to Quincy."
Jonathan was shocked as he didn't expect Calista to suddenly back out at the last minute. He wanted to say something to make her change her mind but Calista's expression grew extremely cold. "Why, you don't want to listen to me?" Her expression made Jonathan feel the pain in his left hand again.
He decided to just listen to what she said and swallowed everything he felt and sent the text out.
Quincy's eyes lit up when she saw there was a text from Jonathan, but when she read the content of the text, her eyes nearly popped out of her head in anger. This idiot! How could he lose something so important?
Thankfully she had extra on hand, just in case this sort of thing happened.
After a while, just when Jonathan was supposed to have finished his session, there was a knock on the door.
Jonathan opened the door to find Quincy standing at the door, and she said sheepishly, "Callie, my friends are very curious about you, could you come down and say hello?"
Calista shook her head. "No."
Quincy seemed to have expected her to say this, so she got Giselle in to try dragging Calista out of the room.
"Come on, let's go, they're your classmates too!"
There were also others at the side persuading her, so Calista
reluctantly went out of the room. But in the midst of this, Calista suddenly threw Jonathan a knowing glance, and his body immediately went cold. He felt like Calista seemed to have everything under her control!
She understood his greed and also understood Quincy's heartlessness, so she could manipulate them both at the right time.
Jonathan quickly got rid of this idea in his mind. He didn't know what Quincy was going to do later, so how could Calista possibly know?
The moment Calista appeared, all the boys surrounded her!
She was simply too beautiful, and the cold but gentle smile of hers excited all the males in the house. Even when she sat down without moving, she looked like an intricately carved sculpture, without imperfections.
Quincy was annoyed to see how
popular Calista was, and she was even more annoyed when she saw that Calista was very cautious and refused to touch any of the food and on the table. So she had no
dce but to bring two glasses of
Wine to Calista.
Calista was about to reject her when Quincy quickly said coyly, "Callie, don't reject me in front of so many people!"
She believed that Calista would not reject her in front of so many people in order to look like they were a happy family.
Calista did not respond but kept staring at the wine, as if she suspected it was drugged.
Quincy was getting a bit embarrassed and said, "We're at home, what are you afraid of? If you're still unsure, you pick one glass and I'll drink the other one!"
All the guys were cheering her on, and after Quincy's words, Calista reluctantly picked one glass.
The moment Quincy saw her pick
one glass, she quickly gulped down the other glass and raised her empty glass at Calista. So Calista had no choice but to gulp down her glass as well Quincy breathed a sigh of relief and walked away while smiling.
When she saw that Calista was surrounded by people again, Quincy quickly found a quiet corner to send a text.
In order to make sure Calista didn't suspect anything, she drugged both glasses. She was too embarrassed to tell Yelena that she was drugged as well, so she just asked Yelena to come and help her out. Yelena asked, "Why are you suddenly feeling unwell? Isn't it really obvious if I go back now?"
Quincy could feel the drug beginning to take effect, so she quickly typed out: It's ok, Jonathan is your guy, so you can push any blame on him!
Yelena then agreed.
Calista did drink everything down - if she didn't do so in front of everyone, Quincy wouldn't have let her off.
Her fair face was slowly beginning to redden, and all the guys just kept talking non-stop to her. They didn't want to play games or dance anymore, but just hung around her.
Yelena was very concerned about what was going to happen so she wasn't far from the house. But she suddenly thought of something on her way back and gave Wyatt a call.
