Her Vengeful Rebirth
Chapter 437 Are You Ready To Be A Star
Kallum’s voice was incredibly hoarse, and he had a dazed and harmless look on his face.
Finished
It was rare of him to give off such a vibe. When he was alert, he was always full of vigor and vitality, radiating an intensity and warmth akin to that of a diamond.
Calista nodded. “Do you want to sleep on the bed?
Kallum stared at his computer. “But there is still an unfinished document…”
“You can deal with those tomorrow.”
“But this document is of utmost urgency. It simply can’t wait until tomorrow.”
Calista pulled out her trump card and bent over to whisper in his ear, “Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten? You said it yourself that you wanted a reward for this matter, remember?”
Kallum’s previously muddled mind suddenly became alert.
I mentioned before that I would want consummation once this matter was resolved. Could it be that….
Calista nodded. “Yes, that’s right. I agree to it, so let’s go to bed!”
Go to bed?
In that moment, Kallum felt as if he had been injected with a shot of adrenaline, standing up with a renewed vigor.
Ten minutes later, Kallum found himself feeling nonplussed while being held in Calista’s embrace.
“Is this what you call consummation?” Sleeping on the same bed, at most, could be considered sharing a bed.
“Yup! Doesn’t hugging you count?”
Kallum intended to argue his case with a reasoned argument, but he was held back by Calista.
“Go to sleep, or else I’ll move to another room to sleep, and you won’t even get the chance to hold me!”
Kallum pursed his lips, muttering softly, “What a miser.”
“What did you say?”
“Ah, it’s nothing. Time for bed!” Kallum said as he pulled Calista into his arms.
In less than three seconds, he had fallen asleep.
He slept deeply, far more peacefully than when he had previously slept on the table.
Calista studied his finely chiseled profile, her fingers carefully brushing against his long eyelashes. His eyes fluttered slightly, yet he didn’t open them, only furrowing his brows slightly. The corners of his mouth seemed to lift a bit, giving off a hint of dissatisfaction.

Just what kind of person are you, really?
From the moment she first laid eyes on him, she was smitten. She couldn’t help but regard him as the brightest light in the world, irresistibly drawn to him like a moth to a flame.
Confusion flickered in Calista’s beautiful eyes before she lowered her gaze and gently planted a kiss onto his thin lips.
Kallum wasn’t aware of the kiss, but he involuntarily tightened his grip on her a little.
When he woke up the next day, it was already the afternoon.
Kallum had initially planned to reclaim what was rightfully his, but seeing Calista clutching her stomach, looking utterly pitiful with hunger, he found himself unable to do so. He had no choice but to first ensure she was well–fed.
Watching Calista getting dressed, her unintentional display of a graceful figure almost made Kallum helplessly throw himself at her.
In certain aspects, he was so starved that it was as if his eyes were glowing green.
Is there any other man out there as pitiful as I am? I’ve been nurturing my wife for twenty years, and yet I’ve only tasted the fruit of my labor once! Just once! If one were to spread this around, it could go down as the worst story in history! Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Calista turned around and saw him staring blankly as she changed her clothes. She couldn’t help but chuckle with a hint of mischief.
“I know you are desperately longing for it, but could you not stare at me like that? It makes me feel like a I’m a lamb that’s about to get slaughtered.”
So, during mealtime, the housekeeper asked Kallum what he wanted to eat. Kallum, through gritted teeth, declared, “Meat! Lots and lots of meat!”
Calista merely laughed without uttering a word. At this moment, Quintus arrived.
“Mr. Kallum, you’re finally awake! The President suggested that we should arrange a press conference as soon as possible. What do you think?”
Kallum subconsciously glanced at Calista and asked, “Are you ready, young lady? You’re about to become famous!”
Famous?
Calista looked at him, her expression somewhat bewildered. Despite her long–standing desire to prove herself, she had never contemplated the idea of becoming famous.
Upon seeing her lost in thought, Kallum felt a softness in his heart. He held back a laugh and asked. “What’s the matter? Not ready to be a star yet?”
Being a star? Is it akin to Quincy’s previous life, basking in fame and wealth while elevating my own worth, then navigating through the circles of the elite, armed with nothing but lies and allure?
Calista shook her head, “I’m not quite there yet, but let’s just take it one step at a time. When do you plan on holding the press conference?”

“I’ll take care of the arrangements.”
“Do I need to prepare for anything?”
Finished
Kallum gave her a glance, brimming with pride as he said, “Callie, you don’t have to do anything to be perfect! When the time comes, do whatever makes you comfortable. It’s your show, so you’re the queen.”
Kallum hadn’t deceived her. On the day of the press conference, he didn’t prepare any extravagant attires for Calista. Instead, she appeared as she usually did, dressed in clean and simple clothes. Her every action and gesture exuded an air of effortless grace that was immensely comforting to those around her.
The venue was packed with people as all the recovered patients had arrived. Apart from the death of a girl due to this incident, everyone else was fine. Their families had also received compensation, and public resentment gradually subsided. What took its place was the noble act of Kallum and Calista publicizing the formula of the medicine. This act was the talk of the town, and everyone felt immensely proud.
That day, the largest venue in Horington was heavily guarded. Not only was the President expected to arrive, but representatives from over forty countries were also due to attend, all there to accept this gesture of goodwill.
