Chapter 15: Wallace Doesn’t
Owe You a Thing
As Abbie spoke, tears rolled
down her face. “Because of
me, she lost Callum. Not to
mention being harmed by her, I’m willing to kneel down if it means getting Callum back. I’m willing to do anything.”
Seeing the tear–streaked face of Abbie, Callum felt a sharp
pain in his heart.
He quickly embraced Abbie,
wiping away her tears.
“You’re not the one at fault.
Don’t say that.”
Melina, witnessing the
intimate scene between the
two, couldn’t help but smile.
She quietly left the room when Jillian rushed in. “Mom-”
The moment Jillian saw her mother, it was as if she had
found a lifeline. She threw
herself into her mother’s
arms. “You have to help me!”
“What’s going on?!” Melina, spotting Jillian’s swollen face, ..
instantly switched to a
concerned look, cupping her daughter’s face and asking, “Who did this to you?”
Jillian skipped her earlier taunts towards Lexie, and detailed how Lexie not only
hit her but also tried to kill
her. “Mom, not only did she hit me, but she also tried to
throw me off the fifteenth
floor balcony. If it wasn’t for the witnesses there, you
wouldn’t see me now.”
“Why would you provoke her in the first place?”
Callum scolded.
Thinking of Lexie’s
indifferent attitude before,
his expression turned a bit
colder.
“Cal, I’m your sister!” Jillian retorted tearfully, “I was the one who got beaten, and almost thrown off the
balcony. How can you blame me?”
Callum snorted, “She could
have hit me, but she chose to
hit you! Why? Because
you’re smarter?”
“Mom, do something! Cal is so mean to me!” Jillian stood
in place, stomping her foot,
clinging to Melina’s arm like a spoiled child. “I don’t care; she must apologize to me!”
She had to get back at Lexie; otherwise, she couldn’t
swallow this humiliation!
Melina gently caressed Jillian’s swollen face, her eyes gradually filled with
coldness.
She never liked Lexie from
the beginning, disapproving
of her background and upbringing. She couldn’t
stand Lexie’s unclear,
arrogant demeanor.
She thought that leaving the
Wallace family, Lexie would
learn to behave. Little did
she know that Lexie not only
remained the same but
became even more
audacious, directly laying hands on Jillian. It was as if Lexie didn’t scare the
Wallace family at all!
“Let’s go! I want to see who gave her the courage to hit
you!” Melina marched
angrily towards Lexie’s ward
with Jillian.
Kaitlynn left the ward after a call, leaving Lexie alone.
Suddenly, a loud noise from
the door caught Lexie’s
attention.
Turning her head, she saw Melina and Jillian standing at the doorway.
Her eyes narrowed, a chilly
expression covered her
delicate face, “You’re not
welcome here. Please leave!”
“Lexie, who gave you the
audacity to talk to me like this?” Melina, with her Birkin bag slung over her shoulder,
walked into Lexie’s ward
with an air of superiority.
She looked Lexie up and..
down, her eyes filled with strong disdain. “Did you slap Jillian?!”
