Chapter 377
Her Vengeful Rebirth
Chapter 377 She Is That Person
During the capture, Horatio was indifferent to whether Calista would get hurt. As long as she was still breathing, that was enough. After all, trying to bring someone in unscathed was fraught with risks. It was better to let go and give it his all. The chances of capturing her were higher that way.
Moreover. Calista had been severely injured, which served to intimidate others….
What he never expected was that the woman he completely disregarded was the very one he had been searching for.
After conducting his investigation, Kallum had confirmed who was responsible. Even though he was itching to confront Horatio, he chose to suppress his murderous intent in light of Calista’s safety. He then dialed Horatio’s number.
Prior to this, Horatio’s condition wasn’t much better either.
He waited anxiously, hooked up to an IV, for the Fairchild family’s response. Calista hadn’t been caught yet, which only served to fuel his impatience.
At that moment, he received a call from his dispatched men. They informed him that due to Calista, they were now surrounded by the Fairchild family.
Horatio narrowed his eyes. Kallum’s actions further confirmed his care for that woman. Therefore, he slowly stated. “As long as you capture that woman, Kallum won’t dare to harm you. Now, you have no way

Those people thought about it. Even if they surrendered now, would the Fairchild family let them off the hook? It seemed better to capture Calista, complete the deal, and escape overseas with the money.
With this in mind, they became even more determined in their search for her.
Calista had initially planned to hide up in the tree, but she never anticipated that the other party would. have a heat sensor in their possession.
She was nearly captured. Luckily, the thick fog had been her saving grace, allowing her to narrowly escape death. However, her left arm had grazed a bullet.

At that moment, she was leaning against a large tree, tending to her wounds while fiddling with the mobile phone she had found.
Thankfully, the phone still had a battery. Unfortunately, it was discarded not only because it was incredibly outdated but also because it could no longer make calls.
Calista made several calls, but all she could hear was the static buzz on the other end. Feeling
disheartened, she faced the increasingly dark forest and the relentless pursuer intent on killing her. In her desperation, a glint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
If they thought about messing with her, she would definitely teach them a lesson in return.
Horatio was somewhat taken aback when he saw that Kallum was actually calling him. After a moment of thought, he leisurely answered the call.
“Mr. Kallum, have you made up your mind?”

When Kallum heard his words, it seemed as if his cold aura could seep through the phone.
“Horatio, how dare you!”
“It’s all because you refused to cooperate, Mr. Kallum. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done this!” Horatio’s tone was heavy, clearly harboring a substantial amount of resentment.
When Kallum was ill before, asking him for that person was akin to a death sentence. So, whether it was for his own safety or due to public opinion, Kallum would absolutely refuse to hand over the person.
P
After much deliberation, Horatio decided to launch a surprise attack during the banquet. He used Kallum’s illness as leverage, forcing Kallum into a trade with him.
However, Kallum refused.
If Kallum had refused the deal out of fear of death, fear that he would take someone away and never return them, then though there would be resentment, it wouldn’t be as intense as it was.
However, the blood test results later revealed that Kallum was already cured. Regardless of how he managed to recover, it meant he no longer needed that person to sustain his life. Yet, even without needing that individual, Kallum still refused to negotiate with him, essentially pushing him toward a dead
end.
In addition to the Fairchild family abruptly pulling all their orders overnight and completely falling out with the Ingram family, this left Horatio so furious that he couldn’t stand it any longer. That was when he came up with the idea to use Calista as a threat against Kallum.
Horatio sneered, “Since you have no regard for past affections, Mr. Kallum, as your senior, I naturally have. to take a different approach. If you hand over the person now, I won’t touch Calista. Otherwise, my people will definitely catch her before you do! At that time, whether she’s severely injured or dead, I can’t guarantee…
Upon hearing his threat, Kallum was so angry that he laughed instead. “So, you’re using Callie to force me to reveal the person who saved my life?”
“What’s the matter? Is she not worthy of your saving? It seems like your feelings for this girl are not as deep as I thought.”
Kallum laughed at his pitiful state. “Why don’t you consider the possibility that Calista is that person?”
“That’s impossible!” Horatio instinctively retorted, “Don’t try to deceive me. I know there’s a mysterious old man in your family who’s highly skilled in medicine. Even if you’re trying to trick me, don’t treat me like a fool. How old is Calista? How could she be the one keeping you alive? I’m not that senile!”
Kallum’s tone turned somber. “In my eyes, you’re not only confused, but you’ve also gone mad. You might have guessed why I was fine during the banquet that day. It was because I injected the antiserum in time… But, the antiserum was developed by Callie! If she could conquer the K Virus in just two years, why couldn’t she extend life?”
Horatio’s hand, clutching the phone, gave a slight tremble.
“Are you lying to me?”
“You better pray that your people haven’t harmed her, because aside from her, there’s nobody else in this world who possesses such exceptional medical skills! If anything happens to her, I’ll make sure you pay

tenfold!”
Kallum ended the call. He knew Horatio was desperate to live, and he would surely call back his men. However….
Kallum stared at the vast mountain before him, but where on earth was Calista? The night was fast approaching, and once it fell, he couldn’t see her. What if she encountered danger? Indeed, he should have equipped her with a radar.
