Chapter 208 Kiss Me Back
+15 BONUS
“Yeah, who knows if you’ll use this money to blackmail me and demand me to pay back every day?”
She said that on purpose to anger Lucian. They were already divorced, so they shouldn’t be involved
financially. She had to return this money somehow.
It would take her a long time to explain herself. Besides, he was too proud to listen. He would respond
sarcastically and take the card back.
As expected, Lucian became angry. The veins on his forehead and neck popped as a surge of impatience
glinted in his eyes.
He stared at her and suddenly lowered his head to give her a deep and heavy kiss on her rosy lips.
Calista didn’t expect him to kiss her and widened her eyes in surprise. He forcefully pried open her lips.
and teeth when she tried to struggle, invading every inch of her mouth restlessly.
It was a very domineering kiss. In a few seconds, his breath had filled her mouth, but it ended quickly
when she tried to bite him in her struggle.
Lucian released her, and his gaze swept over her slightly swollen lips.
“You can
n use the card as you please. There’s no need to worry about me bothering you
Calista was trembling with anger. She had earned this money through her efforts; it was hers, and there
was no need to pay interest.
After the test in the villa that day, she received a call from that mysterious person in the evening. He
commended her skills and proposed a long–term collaboration.
Then, he sent a contract and a bank card with enough funds to repay Lucian’s debts.
A note also read, “Repay your debt now so you can work in peace. Don’t work any part–time jobs and focus on your work with me.”
She had shown the contract to Harvey, and he confirmed it was fine. The money in the bank card was also secure, so she decided to return it to Lucian.
“Lucian, we’re already divorced. If you need a woman, find one. Don’t act like a sex–deprived animal all the time. You’re even interested in your ex–wife, who couldn’t stir anything in you for three years during the marriage.
“If you shout any louder, everyone on this floor will know what we were doing in the office just now

Calista was speechless. She gave him a fierce glare, wiped her lips disdainfully before him, and turned to
open the door. Lucian didn’t let go of the door han
Calista tried to pull it open but failed. She took a deep breath and turned around
“What do you want?”
His gaze lowered and landed on the black card discarded on the floor.
“You don’t want the card? Or do you want to kiss me back??
Calista was so frustrated with him.
“Do you have too much money to spend? Are you trying to impress women by giving them money so you
look generous and wealthy?”
“That’s a question for you. I’ve only given money to one person, which is you. Do you think I look generous
and wealthy?”
Calista smiled lightly, finding it amusing that he was trying to make her feel better, even at the cost of his
dignity
“Are you saying that Miss Scott isn’t a person, or have you reached a point where you can’t even admit
what you’ve done? You were quite enthusiastic about giving her money and attracting investments”
“Investing in Lily was a company decision, and it was done using company funds. As for attracting
investments, I wasn’t giving the money.”
After a moment of silence, Calista couldn’t hold her ground any longer. She decided it wasn’t worth
arguing with a stubborn person like him. She bent down to pick up the card.
“Step aside
Only then did Lucian retract his hand. After Calista left, Lucian called David in
“Go investigate who gave the money to Calista
David replied, “Understood”
Lucian looked at him with a cold smile
“You won’t be merely getting a transfer if you make a mistake like mistaking a conservator for a janitor
again”

Somehow, news of Calista repaying Lucian’s money reached Zachary. One evening, when she returned
home after work, she ran into Zachary, who had claimed to be abroad for some time.
Zachary wore a smile as if he had forgotten that he wasn’t Callsta’s biological father and that they had
recently had a falling out.
“I heard you paid back all your debt. Where did you get so much money? Did you dip into the inheritance
your mother left you?”
His eyes remained fixed on Calista as he spoke. Calista furrowed her brow,
“What inhentance?”
Her mother had passed away suddenly while she was in school. She had received the news and rushed to the hospital in a hurry.
But by the time she arrived, her mother had already passed and was covered under a white sheet in ant empty hospital room.
Her mother had died an unpleasant death in a car accident, so Zachary had stopped her from taking a look, claiming he didn’t want her to have nightmares.
It didn’t matter no matter how much she cried and protested. She was only able to see her mother’s body for the last time after the mortuary cosmetologist had prepared her body.
There was no mention of an inheritance, not to mention a will. Moreover, if there were any, Zachary would have likely used it over the years.
Zachary could tell what she was thinking with a single glance.
“Your mother left you some money that was enough for you to live comfortably. But I don’t know where it is. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have declared bankruptcy when our family was facing financial difficulties.”
Calista responded, “I don’t know anything about an inheritance.”
“How could you not know? If you hadn’t used that inheritance, how could you afford to repay Lucian?”
“So, you’re eyeing that inheritance and want a piece of the pie?”
“Calista, you’re being too harsh. Your mother and I were married, and even if are not related by blood, you’re still legally my daughter. I have rights to the inheritance. If this goes to court, I’ll have my share as well.”
He learned about this money by chance after going abroad and stumbling upon Calista’s mother’s diary.

However, despite searching for it for so many years, he couldn’t find a trace of it.
Back then, he had heard that she charged at least four figures for repairing an item, but over all these years, she hadn’t saved up much money. It turned out she had kept it hidden away.
Calista couldn’t help but chuckle at Zachary’s shameless attitude.
“You are such a lowly person. Your daughter from your second marriage is already an adult. All three of you ganged up to bully me, the only daughter from your ex–wife, and you’re still deluding yourself about
her inheritance.”
Zachary wasn’t from a rich family. Though her mother’s father wasn’t exactly wealthy, he was quite well-
off.
Zachary was able to establish the Everhart Group with her grandfather’s connections and funding. Calista
got rid of him disdainfully.
“Get lost. You wouldn’t get a single penny even if there we’re an inheritance.”
“You ungrateful brat!”
Zachary had been looked down upon since he was young.
He valued his reputation greatly after he became successful. Naturally, he couldn’t handle being told to get lost by Calista. He raised his hand as if to slap her.
However, he was stopped before his hand could land on her face. In the next moment, he was kicked and
sent flying.
Zachary crashed heavily into the wall. But what terrified him even more was the person standing in front
of him.
