Chapter 21 I Have Nothing To Do With You
Yelena mocked her loudly in anger, “What has that got to do with you? You think you could threaten me forever with that? You can sleep outside tonight! Anyway you’re dressed so sl’tty, there’ll be plenty. of lechers out there who will take you in!”
Yelena then slammed the door in her face, as Calista ad expected. She had already anticipated that she wouldn’t be able to even get past the front door.
Calista turned her head to see Wyatt with mixed feelings written all over his face and smiled, “My dear cousin, looks like I have to trouble you to send me to hotel.”
Wyatt immediately lost his temper, “You mean my aunt usually treats you like that? She shouldn’t treat you like that! She…this is…I’m going to knock some sense into her!”
Calista pulled him back, her expression very calm under the dim light of the streetlamps and the slight
I drizzle. She didn’t appear angry at all, only a little tired. “Don’t give me any trouble. If she knows 1 purposely let you hear all that, I won’t just get chased out of the house.”
She was not strong enough to fight everyone on Yelena’s side, but one day she would finish all of them off.
Her calm demeanor made Wyatt’s heart wrench.
He couldn’t believe what a hypocrite his aunt was,
For almost twenty years, his aunt had always talked about how hard it was to be a stepmother, and everyone had believed her. But the reality couldn’t be further from the truth!
He couldn’t imagine how Calista lived her life in this state.
He finally couldn’t bear it anymore and said, “You can stay at my place!”
Calista chortled, “You want to be a lecher who takes me in?”
Wyatt angrily exclaimed, “Calista!”
But Calista had already turned towards the car. “Send me to the city center.”
She didn’t want to have anything to do with the Lins.
After getting into the car, Calista told him clearly where she wanted to go, but Wyatt continued to insist that she should go to his place, thinking that it was dangerous for a beautiful girl like Calista to stay by herself at some hotel.
Calista saw that he wasn’t budging, so she said, “Wyat Have you thought about what would have happened if I didn’t meet you today?”
Wyatt stopped talking
“Let’s imagine for a while,” Calista’s eyes sparkled as she said gently, “Let’s say you came to the Shang house, then Yelena told you that something did happen between those two men and I, and for the sake

of the Stafford family’s reputation, you had to make sure the two men never talked about what happened last night.
You would have thought in your heart, ah, this girl has brought trouble to the Staffords again, and then be very disgusted with me. But you would think that Yelena was doing this as a kind and loving stepmother, then you would have made use of your authority to do as she says, right?”
Wyatt didn’t say anything because it was possible that he might have done exactly that. He thought about how ungently his at had called him over to the Shang house, and given her real attitude toward Calista, she might have plotted to do something like this and blame everything on Calista.
Calista smiled, “Then today you interrogated those two scoundrels, and they told you the truth, but what did you tell me? You said there must be a misunderstanding somewhere, and that I’ve misunderstood Quincy…”
“No, I…”
Wyatt didn’t know how to respond anymore. Before this he would have said confidently that there was definitely a misunderstanding, but now he wasn’t so sure anymore..
“Enough. This proves that you are relatives with Yelena and Quincy, but you are not related to me,” concluded Calista.
Wyatt started to panic and stopped the car at the roadside, and said with all seriousness, “That’s not true, you are my cousin too!”
“How interesting, suddenly I’m a cousin. You never thought it mattered before, but now you think it does. Hasn’t that sentiment come a little too late?”
Calista laughed coldly and leaned towards him, “Or…you have some other intentions and so you’ve changed your attitude?”
“That’s nonsense!” Wyatt retorted with a serious face
“Oh?”
Calista came even closer and he could see her long eyelashes curling upwards were like two little brushes, masking her real feelings and making her look even more dreamy.
The fragrance from her filled the air around Wyatt again, and he could hear his own heart beat faster and faster. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Suddenly he heard Calista’s cheeky laughter as she said, “My dear cousin, your face has turned red…” Suddenly Calista put an arm around him! Wyatt got a shock and stiffened himself against the driver’s
His face only grew redder and redder, and he suddenly lost all ability to speak. His entire head could only think of how she was so close.. was she thinking ofthen suddenly there was a clicking sound, and it turned out Calista had found the button to unlock the car doors.
Once the doors were unlocked she withdrew herself, and replaced the cheeky smile earlier with a cold

that. 1 am not related to you by blood at all, and we’re definitely not friends. Don’t you dare follow me.” Calista got out from the car immediately. Wyatt put up a hand to stop her, but then gave up the idea.
He had never thought that Calista and his aunt were such odds with one another, she even despised the entire Lin family.
Somehow he felt miserable.
He hadn’t done anything to Calista, why was she so upset with him? Just because of those biased things he said in the afternoon?
After getting out of the car, Calista bought a full set of clothes from the sportswear shop along the road, then found a small motel to stay for the night. She didn’t have anything else on her, so she had to find somewhere that didn’t require any ID.
After she had washed up and changed into a new set of clothes, she finally felt peace.
There was a moldy smell in the room but she didn’t care. She had stayed in places a hundred times. worse than this, so this was not bad already.
After lying down for ten minutes she got up again, because there were still things she hadn’t done.
No matter how tired she felt or how difficult the circumstances were, before she was captured and paralyzed, she would always practice the basic Energy techniques that her grandfather had taught her.
She managed to live till thirty-one in her previous life, and had a good understanding of the benefits these basic techniques brought her. She even suspected that she managed to survive the K virus and. contained it within her body because of these basic techniques that she practiced, as well as the herbal baths she always took. So she must not lose these basic techniques, she told herself.
The movements were much like many other martial arts but this particular set of moves were i difficult. Calista started practicing since she was two years old, but only finally felt the Energy w was ten years old.
Since the Energy Needle technique required the Energy that was based on these moves, she had ha practice every day to make sure there was always sufficient Energy in her body to execute any advanced moves.
After practicing for a while, Calista’s back was entirely wet with sweat. Suddenly there was a bang! Someone had banged her room door op
open.
Calista got a shock and turned her head to look. A man in black jumped into the room, leaned against the door with all his strength to keep it shut, then slowly slumped down onto the floor and didn’t
move.
Calista endured the ache in her body from the practicing and cautiously approached the intruder. She knew security in such places were poor, but didn’t expect it to be this poor.
But the intruder had not fainted. The moment Calist approached him, he frowned and looked up. “You stink, get lost!”
