Chapter 312 Feeling Restless
Calista didn’t know Timothy well, so she wasn’t sure whether he agreed to her request. She stared at
Lucian, confused Lucian tossed his phone to the coffee table
“Sleep. He agreed
Finally, Calista felt a load off her mind. She smiled, relaxed With her goal achieved, she didn’t linger around for long Immediately, she headed for the door. Lucian grabbed her
“Why are you going?”
“Yara’s still waiting for me at the apartment. She’s not in a good mood, so I’m going to chat with her for a bit. I won’t be coming over tonight
“Timothy will go.”
“They’re not close. Even if they talked, they’d only be talking about the case. I’ll wait for them to finish up.”
Something about Yara sounded quite off earlier on
Lucian smiled, and said indifferently, “Compared to your comfort, she’ll be more glad to talk to Timothy about the case. And you just promised you’ll sleep with me tonight. So are you not keeping your promise once you’ve achieved your goal?”
“I didn’t say I’m not going to keep my promise. Today is different,” said Calista as she gritted her teeth.
She raised her voice and said, “And I only agreed to sleep in the same room with you–it’s not sleeping. with you.”
Lucian snorted.
“You’re going to go over because Yara’s not in a good mood. Tomorrow, if someone doesn’t feel good, you’ll go to them as well. So, does that mean from now until the lawsuit, you’ll have to go accompany your friends who are not in a good mood every single day?”
He continued indifferently, “I’m also not in a good mood either. You stay back and accompany me.”
He was grabbing onto Calista’s hand and she couldn’t break free, So, she could only glare at him. She truly couldn’t believe this man was behaving in such an unreasonable way. It was an eye–opener.
It wasn’t long until Callsta finally gave in. Yara texted her to ask whether she was out already. Calista replied with a voice message, saying that Lucian was holding her back.
Yara replied. Then you don’t have to come over anymore. Timothy just gave me a call earlier on, and he’s

“Callie, I appreciate it. Please also thank Mr. Northwood for me.”
She wasn’t dumb. Previously, Timothy was so firm in refusing her. His sudden change of mind must’ve
been influenced by Lucian.
Calista couldn’t reply to her text swiftly with just one hand. After finally sending an ‘alright, she tried to
pull her hand out of Lucian’s grip.
“I’m not going out anymore. Let go, I’m going to sleep now.”
Lucian seemed quite regretful. He clicked his tongue and released her hand.
She went back and lay down on her bed. After the lights were turned off with the blackout curtains.

She wrapped herself up like a cocoon with the blanket, even tucking in her pajamas. After fumbling for a
while, she finally managed to get changed.
Lucian lay on the couch in the dark. He was staring at the ceiling above, shrouded in darkness.
It was a first for him, who was born with a silver spoon, to sleep on a couch where he nearly fell over
because of turning around.
He was already restless, and the rustling noises by Calista made it even harder for him to calm down.

What’s wrong with you?”
“I’m going to take a shower.”
On the 17th of May, the Jacquez family’s banquet took place in a private estate on the outskirts. The
arking lot was packed with luxury cars.
Some cars weren’t as luxurious as the others, but they had eye–catching license plates. Calista was touching up her makeup in the car

She felt extremely guilty when she thought about how well Selena treated her and also considered her
health condition.
After handing over the invitation to the security guard at the entrance, they gave her a room key.
“Your restroom is in 2018. If you get tired during the banquet, you can have a rest there.”
Calista took over the key and thanked them. The others were also given similar instructions.
It seemed like the Jacquez family prepared this because they were worried that the guests might be too
tired at some point.
The banquet hall was large. At first glance, it was filled with men and women dressed in suits and gowns respectively.
Except for certain familiar faces that would usually appear on the news, Calista had no idea who the rest were. She couldn’t tell who were the guests and who was a part of the Jacquez family.
Vivian was surrounded by several girls as the star of the banquet. They were chatting and laughing, which was evident that they had a close relationship.
Calista didn’t go up and greet her. She didn’t believe Vivian invited her over just to show off her grandeur as the daughter of the Jacquez family to make her feel inferior. She must’ve prepared some other stuff.
She decided to play along for a bit before she could see through Vivian’s real intentions.
But Vivian already saw her and she was approaching her. She linked arms with Calista enthusiastically.
“Claude, come on. Let me introduce Diego to you. He’s a rising star and we have to be cautious when you guys meet up. Otherwise, if the media catches both of you being together and writes nonsense about this, Charm your reputation”
Calista almost forgot Diego, whom she was supposed to be obsessed with. She finally recalled this after being reminded by Vivian.

Just as Calista was still occupied with coming up with an excuse, Vivian suddenly let go of her.
As she smoothed out her dress, she said anxiously, “I think I see my future mother–in–law. I’ll go over to

Vivian had been putting in a lot of effort to please Selena. She had finally managed to leave a good.
impression on her and even received some compliments from her.
But Selena rarely went out, and they only got to meet because of Vivian’s careful planning.
Today, in front of so many influential figures, she was determined to show herself in a good light and let Selena acknowledge that she was much better than Calista, who was a bankrupt socialite without any background
“Aunty!” Vivian called out to Selena in a honeyed voice.
But she was ignored by Selena. Selena’s gaze fell upon Calista, who was behind Vivian. She strode briskly
over.
I’m sorry, Ms. Jacquez. I’ve just seen my daughter–in–law. I’ll excuse myself first.“!
Vivian almost lost her temper when she heard the word ‘daughter–in–law‘. She turned pale with anger right on the spot
