Chapter 28 Calista
"Callie!" Benedict started getting angry, "Isn't Yelena your mother? Your biological mother passed away when you were very young, and I was very busy with work. If Yelena wasn't at home to look after you, you think you could comfortably go to school every day?" When he saw that Calista continued to smile coldly in silence, Benedict tried to persuade her gently, "Sometimes Yelena says some awful things, but that's just the way she is. Deep down she still loves you..."
Calista finally couldn't take it anymore. She looked coldly at Benedict and snapped, "Don't just say that someone loves me! That's demeaning to the word 'love'!"
"Calista!" Benedict was furious, but his personality was too gentle, and so even if he was really angry, he couldn't bring himself to say anything really nasty. He merely put on an unhappy expression and said in a dull voice, "Yelena has called a psychiatrist for you - I think she's right, you'd better see one!"
A cold light flashed in Calista's eyes. A psychiatrist? That's fast.
On the way back, Calista bought a cell phone before they reached the house. Quincy wasn't in, and Yelena opened the door herself. Seeing that Benedict had returned, she started fussing over him like a loving wife, and completely ignored Calista. That was fine with Calista - she didn't need this fake warmth anyway.
When she saw that Calista had turned to leave, an evil glint flashed in Yelena's eyes, but she smiled gently and walked over to Calista. "Callie, don't leave so quickly. Come over here and say hello to Dr. Larkin! He's one of the best psychiatrists in this country!" Calista felt a small shudder down her spine.
Dr. Larkin? Jonathan Larkin! She would never forget this scumbag! He had appeared earlier than she expected.
Calista walked over to the living room, and there was a man standing there smiling, his face full of gentleness and politeness.
This man...in her previous life, she was locked up in the house and was in deep despair! Back then Yelena had also found a psychiatrist for her, and it was this man, Jonathan!
He was a psychiatrist alright, but he was also a famous pervert! He tried to seduce her, but failed. So he got her drugged to rape her.
If she hadn't threatened to jump down from her room, he would have gotten his way.
But this was not the end of it - he was in cahoots with Yelena much earlier. Yelena had installed hidden cameras in Calista's room, and Jonathan helped to release the footage online the next day, so all the major websites had nude videos of her. The video was titled "Heiress of XX Company Just Out From A Bath", and Benedict nearly had a stroke when he found out.
Calista had a pretty face and a good figure, so even though Benedict tried to take the videos down, the videos just couldn't stop circulating. Jonathan had taken Yelena's money and run overseas, so Yelena just pretended to cry and said she had judged his character wrongly, but what was the use of saying this now?
Calista's reputation had already gone down the drain after she had supposedly slept with two men at the Fairchild family party, and now it had reached a new low.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Countless people started to spread rumors about how Calista would sleep with anybody who looked decent, making her a humiliation to the Staffords, and a lowlife among the wealthy daughters of Horington.
Yelena was determined to destroy Calista completely and made the world a horrible place for her to live in, then let Calista be a footstool for her dear daughter.
Calista found out about this because she happened to overhear a phone call between Yelena and Jonathan, where Yelena blamed Jonathan for not having sex with Calista, because if the video was a sex tape, then Calista would never be able to make a comeback! This was when Calista realized how deeply evil this mother and daughter really were...
And now, this scumbag was right in front of her. What should she do? she started thinking.
"Hello, my name is Jonathan, your psychiatric consultant."
Jonathan was fairly good looking, in his thirties with a pleasant smile, and made people feel at ease with him quickly.
Calista ignored the hand he offered, instead snorting with a raised eyebrow, "And who said you're my psychiatrist?"
Yelena quickly dragged Benedict over, and said with a worried face, "Callie, don't be scared, Dr. Larkin is really good. Your current state is very dangerous, so he's come all the way to help you."
"More like my current state puts YOU in danger right? Mrs. Stafford?"
Benedict was unhappy to hear Calista address Yelena as Mrs. Stafford, but Yelena held him back, and continued to smile
sympathetically. "No worries no net
worries, Callie can call me anything
she likes! Callie, take Dr. Larkin to
good chat
your room and have a good
with him!"
Calista knew that there were definitely cameras in her room. This stepmother was so concerned that she couldn't wait for Calista to be alone in the room with a strange man!
Calista laughed and said, "You want to be my doctor? Sure, get me a cup of tea!"
Benedict was unhappy when he heard this, "Callie, that's very rude of you! Dr. Larkin is a guest!"
Jonathan waved his hands to indicate that it was alright, then after a discreet exchange of glances with Yelena, he continued smiling and said, "Don't worry about it, all girls this age are a little rebellious, I can understand!" He quickly poured a cup of tea out for Calista.
Calista took the cup from him, and gave a little smile, "You're absolutely right. Girls at my age are not just rebellious, but also...very temperamental!"
She threw the water in the cup at Jonathan!
Yelena gasped and Benedict started shouting at her, but somehow Jonathan did not lose his temper.
There was a flash of anger in his eyes but he managed to keep smiling, "So can I be Ms. Stafford's psychiatrist now?"
He put on a caring face and said seriously, "I really want to help you."
Most people would have softened when they saw Jonathan had such a sincere face, but to Calista, he was merely hilarious! "Just a bit more."
Calista curled her lips into a smile and then bent down to pick up the teapot, and splashed the contents of the teapot in his face. She felt much better when she saw the tea leaves sticking to his face.
This time Jonathan was really angry - he had never felt insulted like this before!
Yelena quickly rushed over to help Jonathan clean up, and also mouthed "I'll add money" at him.
Jonathan held it in for the sake of this additional fee, but Benedict couldn't hold it in. "Calista! Have you gone crazy?!"
Benedict was so angry that the finger he used to point at Calista was trembling. He'd never lost his temper like this before, but Calista was just too rude! Who would dare to be a guest in his house anymore?
Calista remained strangely calm,
smiling as she glanced at Jonathan,

then quietly said, "Dad you don't get it, do you? thought psychiatric consultants were able to feel the pain of their patients. I splashed tea in his face, but I'm feeling deep fear and anxiety inside and I really need help. I believe Dr. Larkin can also feel my pain, and so you won't get angry, right?"
"You're just being unreasonable!" Benedict was red in the face from anger.
With his teeth clenched, Jonathan still managed to say, "Ms. Stafford is right! Many patients with emotional issues would do things that are the opposite of how they truly feel. can understand, and I will definitely help you to get well!"
