“Yelena, I was afraid of you and the Langleys, so I never defended myself against all the things you said about me to others. Now that everyone is around, let’s thrash things out now!”
Panic flashed in Yelena’s eyes, and the host of the day’s event had finally come over to see what was happening. When he saw Calista, Wyatt hesitated for a moment but pulled her aside anyway.
“Calista, today is an important day for the Langleys. Can you settle your personal matter privately?”
Calista pulled herself out of Wyatt’s grip and glared at him as she smiled coldly. “Settle it privately? My family is about to go bankrupt, why should I settle this privately? Do you know what your grandfather and father said to me just now? They said that if I dare to disobey Yelena, your family is going to bankrupt mine! What power your family wields! I don’t know if Yelena married into my family or my father married into hers! Mrs. Stafford, you’d better explain this now!”
Benedict’s expression darkened and forgot about trying to upkeep his image. He asked with an angry face, “They they actually said that?!”
Wyatt looked a little guilty he knew that his grandfather had called everyone to the back earlier over his aunt and uncle, and actually this had happened before but he never bothered himself about it.
In the past Calista always came running out and crying and he had no idea what happened. His mother only told him that it was because Calista was disobedient and they had scolded her a little, but he never knew the actual situation was like this!
All the guests were waiting to watch a good show now. The Langleys were really flexing their muscles here, saying things like that. Usually daughters were married off into their husband’s family, and for them to control their daughter’s husband in their own house….what busybodies they were!
“How could that be? We….we would never say something like that!”
Yelena was starting to feel out of breath but she continued angrily, “You’ve hit your stepmother in front of so many people, you….you! You’ve thoroughly embarrassed the Staffords! And you still think you are in the right?!”
She tugged at Benedict and pleaded, “Benedict, say something-

back at her coldly, and that cold glare made Yelena take her hand back in fright.
Calista choutled as she scanned the crowd and asked. “In the past, Yelena badmouthed me to other people. and I quietly endured it. But today, I will endure it no longer! Today I want to ask everyone what you’ve heard from Yelena, and we’ll sort it out right now!”
One lady had a bone to pick with Yelena from long ago, so she pretended to be angry as she said, “You’re such an immature child! Yelena is so nice to you! She gives you fifty grand of allowance money, but only five grand to Quincy. Yet you still hit her!”
“That’s a good one,” Calista stared straight at Yelena, “Fifty grand. Did you give that to me in cash or by bank transfer?”
Yelena saw that all eyes were on her, Wyatt wasn’t helping her and the rest of the Langleys were still in the back annexe. She had no way to escape, so she trembled as she said, “Sometimes cash, sometimes.
transfer…”

Calista smiled again. “Then did you use your phone to make the transfer or your computer?”
Yelena couldn’t understand what Calista was trying to do, and because she was so nervous, she went along with Calista and said, “Sometimes my phone.”
“Ok, take your phone out now and check. If you can show that one of your recipients is my name and my bank account number, I’ll take it that you’ve transferred money to me before.”
Yelena was stunned by this attack! She quickly hid her phone away and said, “I…I always remove the recipient after transferring-”
“So you have to get my account number from me every month? I’ll ask you another question then – which bank do I use? Surely you know this?
Yelena’s face was white as a sheet. She’d never transferred Calista any money before, how was she to know?
Calista smiled as she looked at Benedict, “Dad, you know something? Yelena has never given me a single cent, all the clothes I have are made from cheap fabrics that she bought, she puts in money directly into my school canteen card and it isn’t even enough money for me to eat. You always say that I dress like an old person, hoho, that’s because that’s all I have to wear. When I ask her for money, she says that the Staffords are surviving because of her, and since I live in her house and eat her food, how dare I ask her for money! Dad, are you so poor that you can’t afford to feed your daughter?”
Benedict’s face turned extremely nasty. He had given so much money to Yelena every month for her to spend on the family, and Yelena had even said that most of it was spent by Callie.
“No No that’s not true! Benedict, Callie is the one who likes those ugly clothes_”
Yelena became paler the more she tried to explain herself, and everyone was beginning to stare holes into her. Even the two friends who spoke up for her earlier realized something was very wrong and took a step back. Unfortunately for Yelena, the host of the party was Wyatt, the other Langleys were still getting changed, and the wonderful stepmother image she had built for herself over all these years was about to be completely destroyed today!
“Anything else? What else did Yelena say? Can someone tell me about something I’ve done that I didn’t even know about?”
Now even Benedict didn’t stop her. He too, wanted to see how Yelena viewed the Staffords and how she truly treated Callie!
A your
that Calista was simply amazing, so she walked up and spoke loudly, “Mrs. Stafford said been good at lying since you were young, and that you always hung out with boys and got a boyfriend very young, and told me not to learn from you….”

Before she could finish, the young lady’s mother pulled her back and looked uncomfortably at Calista.
“Interesting Calista looked back at Yelena. “Lying? What lies did I say? When, where and what? Besides you and Quincy, who else can prove it? I have a boyfriend? What’s his name? How old is he? What does he look like? How hilarious that I don’t know this myself!”
Yelena’s mind was spinning from the barrage of questions from Calista and she didn’t know how to reply
at all.
She wanted to scream at Calista, but if she did, then her image would be in tatters! Where were the rest of the Langleys? And why wasn’t this stupid Wyatt doing anything to stop Calista?!

“And then Anything else?”
Calista asked as if she had nothing to lose, as if her stepmother had pushed her over the edge and she was Dow afraid of nothing!
Among the crowd, someone said in a low voice. “Velena said that you’re not your father’s biological daughter” This was spoken by a voluptuous woman. “She said that your biological mother, Yvette Yeager, was in love with someone else but then suddenly had a shotgun wedding with your father, and for all you know. Vette was pregnant with someone else’s child and because the father of the child didn’t want her, she decided to marry down to a Stallions.”
“What?” Benedict glared angrily at Yelena. He had never thought that Yelena had said something like this
the Stations had been disgraced such a long time ago!
“Hobo..” Calista laughed hollowly, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes. “Come to think of it, Dad has a negative blood type, right?”
She looked at Benedict and said. “Five years ago Dad met with a car accident and needed a blood. transfusion very urgently. My younger sister was afraid of pain, so I was the one who donated blood to him. Mrs. Stafford, did you think many people have a negative blood type, or that other people are stupid? In the past I was very timid and I thought you would let me off if I listened to you. But to think that you’ve made me suffer at home, and even smeared my reputation outside of the house was just unbearable.”
