Chapter 29 The Secret Of The Voice Recorder
At these words, Calista smiled demurely and put down the teapot.
Just two seconds earlier everyone thought Calista was going to smash the teapot on Jonathan's head, and Jonathan was relieved to see her put the teapot down. "You've passed the test, Dr. Larkin. I'll be a good patient, and I believe you will have wonderful memories of your time with the Staffords!" Calista finished with a smile and went upstairs. Since this person was here, then...well there was plenty of time to deal with him.
huge amount of money to her now!
She checked her bank balance and realized that Jarrett had acted pretty quickly, and there was really $1.2 million dollars in the bank! This was Even though she would get fame and fortune after becoming the Fairchilds' goddaughter, she always remembered that Kallum still did not like seeing her around, so she had to show some accomplishments first before getting his support, and only then could she get back at her enemies.
So she'd have to spend this $1.2 million carefully.
But there was something else that was more urgent to settle now!
She picked up her phone and called Wanda.
After picking up Calista's call, Wanda was pleasantly surprised. She didn't sound like she knew that the two scoundrels arrested that night were instigated by Quincy, otherwise she wouldn't still be this calm and gentle. It was obvious that Wyatt had used his authority to cover up this matter so as to keep the reputations of both the Lin family and Quincy.
Calista smiled and just threw the matter to the back of her mind. She didn't intend to use what happened that night to confront Quincy. After all once the truth of the matter was revealed, all people cared about was whether that night's plan had worked or not, and wouldn't think about anything else, so she decided to let Quincy off for the time being.
She had called Wanda over a different matter.
"Mrs. Fairchild, while running away from those bad guys, I dropped my phone in the compound of the annexe. Could you help me look for it? I have something very important inside."
Wanda immediately agreed - this was the first time Callie had asked anything of her!
Calista laughed and her tone was much gentler now. "I'll come over now ok? It's really important, sorry to trouble you!"
This small matter was no trouble at all!NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Wanda immediately ordered the servants to go out and find it, and promised that she would have found it by the time Calista arrived.
Calista breathed a sigh of relief. Kallum should still be in the office, so she should be in time to find it before him.
This was all because she talked too quickly the day before, just simply telling Kallum that there was a voice recorder on her cell phone, forgetting that while there was indeed a recording of Mirabelle asking her to make an aphrodisiac, there were many other recordings... When she thought about these other recordings, she became perplexed and ran out of the door.
Over at Fairchild Manor, at the time Wanda had ordered the servants to find the phone, the butler had already passed the inconspicuous voice recorder to Kallum, who had just arrived home.
Kallum had come back early just for this voice recorder. Calista said that she wasn't the one who drugged him, and Mirabelle had approached her to make an aphrodisiac, so he had to at least confirm that part.
But before he could listen to anything, he heard that Calista had arrived.
When Calista realized what was in Kallum's hands, she felt that she was about to explode.
Her sparkling eyes grew wider, then she immediately calmed down. "Mr. Kallum, that's mine, please return it to me."
Kallum saw that Calista had run all the way to the Fairchild Manor just for this small thing, and a cheeky smile spread over his perfectly handsome face.
"Isn't this the evidence you provided me with? You've rushed all the way here in such a great hurry, is it because you're hiding some other secrets inside here?"
Calista walked nearer to him, trying
to catch her breath as she said,
"There are some results of my research over the years inside as
well, and these are all confide aset
ve
information. I was too rash yesterday and forgot about those. As for evidence, it's just a short recording and can't prove much."
"That's not necessarily true," Kallum haughtily raised a brow. "Without this recording, there will be nothing stopping me from suspecting that you're definitely the one who drugged me. You don't want to prove your innocence anymore?" Calista pursed her lips and hesitated before hoarsely shouting, "I don't care what you think, just give it back to me!"
Kallum saw that this was a rare show of her emotions, and taunted her, "Come and get it."
Calista saw that all the servants had left the living room, so she didn't restrain herself and took two steps forward to snatch it out of Kallum's hand.
Kallum was prepared for this, so he just pulled his arm back out of her reach. Calista had lunged forward too hard and ended up landing in his arms.
Kallum instinctively caught her round her waist. "If you're so anxious, then I'd think you have some dirty secrets inside. Or perhaps, something to do with me."
Calista's face immediately turned to ice, shouting, "Give it to me!"
She had tremendous strength, and Kallum was caught off guard and was pushed onto the sofa. But Kallum was still stronger than her, so he grabbed her and exchanged positions with her, so now she was under him, and he pressed down hard on her. This sudden closeness made Kallum start to feel warm again, but Calista did not feel the same at all, struggling to try to snatch the voice recorder back.
"Stop it, enough!"
Kallum frowned, and the cold fragrance from Calista went up his nostrils and became fire! When he saw her tender red lips just inches from him, he suddenly felt the urge to kiss her again. D*mn it! Perhaps he should really find a woman!
Seeing that he was suddenly in a
daze, Calista took this chance to
snatch the voice recorder, but Kallum dodged her attack in time But in the process, Calista had hit a button on the recorder and suddenly there was sound coming out from the recorder.
"7th January, I saw him again. He's so good looking, shining like the sun. If his light falls on me, it must be really warm right?"
That longing voice belonged to Calista - so this voice recorder had Calista's diary entries?
This sudden turn of events shocked both of them, especially Calista, who suddenly stopped making a grab for the recorder when she heard this yearning voice... that was the time when she was the most naive.
But this one dazed minute would result in her kicking herself for not reacting faster.
"9th March, I saw him again. Kallum's lips are so pretty...I wish I could lick them, I think they would taste like honey."
These shy yet sensual words suddenly shocked Calista awake! She had unfortunately opened the playlist of recordings about Kallum!
And the contents of the recordings...
The moment she started making a move, Kallum moved too. He put on a wide smile, shining like the sun.
"Oho, so you wanted to forcibly kiss me from so long ago? I never knew you were so lecherous!"
Calista wasn't in the mood to joke with him! She was going to destroy this evidence, NOW!
Seeing that her reaction was so violent, Kallum used his body weight to press Calista down on the sofa and used one hand to press both ker hands above her head. Calista was surprised at how strong Kallum was, but this was not important now! The bigger problem now was that the d*mned recordings were still
playing!
"I heard that husband and wife would share the same bed, and do what the biology textbooks describe...will I...do that with him in the future too?"
