Her Vengeful Rebirth ( Calista ) Novel

Chapter 404 Divide And Conquer 

Before Horatio could say anything, Calista was the first to speak. 

“No doubt you collaborated with Kiefer to get your hands on me. However, Kiefer is a wanted criminal in thirteen countries. While you’re still under the radar, why do you need to keep mingling with him if I agree to extend your life?” 

Calista’s words gradually calmed down the tense and overexcited mind of Horatio. 

“Don’t you think it’s a bit too late saying all this now?” questioned Horatio. 

By that point, Jarrett already knew that Horatio was involved with Kiefer. It was too late for Horatio to leave. 

“It’s not too late,” Calista’s somewhat enchanting voice came through. “As long as I’m in your hands, you can use me to threaten Kallum and keep yourself safe. Given that, why would you help Kiefer capture me? What if, after he catches me, he breaks his agreement with you and kills me to provoke Kallum? Without me, you’re surely doomed. Now, there’s a shorter path to take. You wouldn’t want to take the long way around, would you?” 

Calista’s words made Horatio break out in a cold sweat. Indeed, he harbored such concerns. The aura around Kiefer and his gang was intense and aggressive. Collaborating with such people left him feeling utterly uncertain and uneasy. 

“How… How can I capture you?” Horatio hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked in a hushed tone. 

Calista laughed. “Bring Ambrose to the fishing yard how, and I’ll trade myself for him. If you’re worried about an ambush, you can send a drone first to scout. The fishing yard are open on all sides, so I couldn’t possibly ambush you. And if you’re still scared, bring as many people as you want. How does that sound?” 

Horatio felt that something was off, yet Calista’s proposition was incredibly tempting. If it were possible, he truly wished to extricate himself from Kiefer’s clutches. Otherwise, even if he survived, he was doomed to live the life of a fugitive. 

Morcover, with Ambrose in his control, he reckoned that Calista wouldn’t dare to act recklessly. 

After a swift moment of contemplation, Horatio nodded in agreement. 

“You better not try any tricks, or else I’ll definitely drag Ambrose down with me!” he warned with a stern 

face. 

Calista gave a light laugh, and without saying anything further, she hung up the phone. 

After a moment of contemplation, Horatio slowly made his way back. 

“What’s going on?” David was an impatient man, and as soon as he saw the shift in Horatio’s gaze, he asked. 

“Calista demanded that we head to the fishing yard for a hostage exchange!” 

*D*mn it, why doesn’t she come here? Get her here!” David’s accent was particularly pronounced, especially when he was angry. 

Horatio said, “Don’t worry, the fishing yard are open and unobstructed on all sides. She won’t have a

her after she arrives, but still won’t let Ambrose go. At the fishing yard, she can easily shove Ambrose into a car and let him escape, which will put her at ease.” 

Seeing that David was about to speak, Horatio continued, “There’s no time for hesitation. Your master is still waiting for Calista! Hand over Ambrose to me.” 

David was somewhat puzzled. “I’m not going with you?” 

Horatio’s eyes flickered. “You stay back and keep Jarrett in check. After all, we still have Ambrose under our control. He won’t dare to act recklessly.” 

David was a bit confused, yet he felt like what he was doing wasn’t necessarily wrong. Thus, in his state of confusion, he handed Ambrose over. 

Horatio managed to lead Ambrose out of the warehouse through the back door without alerting Jarrett. Furthermore, in order to protect himself, he had all of his men accompany them. That way, he was safely concealed within the crowd, unafraid of any potential ambush. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Having noticed that there was no activity in the warehouse for quite some time, Jarrett asked Derek, “What on earth is Calista 

up to?” 

In 

response, Derek fell silent for a moment, then whispered three words, “Divide and conquer.” 

Jarrett frowned. “They still have Ambrose in their grasp. 

Derek said, “It’s all right.” 

Not long after Horatio left, the area was suddenly surrounded by dozens of police cars! David was taken aback and quickly tried to call Horatio, but the line was busy. After all, at that moment, Horatio was on a call with Calista. 

Hearing the unsettling sound of the siren, Horatio raised his voice, “Calista, what is the meaning of this?” 

Calista chuckled softly. “You were planning to leave Kiefer’s faction anyway. Why would you care about their fate?” 

With just one sentence from her, all the words Horatio had planned to say next were stuck in his throat. 

Calista said in a low voice, “All you need to do is to keep a close eye on your hostage.” 

After Calista finished speaking, Horatio instinctively glanced at Ambrose. Meanwhile, Calista had already. ended the call. 

The moment she hung up, David called Horatio. “D*mn it! We’ve been duped. That woman actually had the nerve to call the cops. Hurry up and bring the hostage back here!” 

David’s voice was laced with anger and a hint of panic, but he was still assured. As long as he had the hostage, even if the police arrived, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly. 

Listening to the distinct sound of sirens on the other end, Horatio was torn, remembering Calista’s previous words. Eventually, he gritted his teeth and forcefully ended the call. Moreover, after copying Calista’s number onto another phone, he promptly threw his original phone out of the car window. 

It didn’t matter to Horatio if David survived or if Kiefer succeeded. His ultimate goal had always been Calista. As for the others, they could go to hell for all he cared!

“D*mn it!” When David heard the busy tone from the other end, he realized that Horatio had betrayed him. He roared loudly a few times, furiously dialing up Kiefer’s number.
