Chapter 318 Let Me Help You
The couple walked a few steps away. Lucian didn’t want to do it, but he couldn’t say no to Calista.
“What exactly is your relationship with Uncle Hugo, Calista?”
Vivian’s eyes were filled with jealousy as she looked at Calista.
“What are you implying. Ms. Jacquez?” Calista asked.
“My uncle has always been very fond of Diego. He has never laid his hands on him before. However, he not only beat him up for you today, but he also gave you his personal contact information. There must be
something shady going on between you two.“”
“Vivian, have you ever considered that your brother was beaten because he deserved it? I’m curious, how
did you persuade that scumbag not to rat you out?”
Even though he was beaten up to a pulp, he didn’t mention a single word about Vivian.
“I would’ve never imagined that these siblings were close,” she mused.
Vivian paled.
“How’d you know?”
I
“Why do you think I switched rooms with Leopold?”
Calista took the opportunity to switch the room card in his pocket while she stepped on him.
Calista gave her a mocking look.
“I know that you orchestrated both what happened today and the museum incident. You promised to let
Amelia’s son study abroad and made her take the fall for you.”
“You’re delusional if you think a vicious woman like you can marry into the Northwood family, Vivian. A
stray dog has a better chance of being welcomed into their family than you,” she sneered.
Calista, you knew all along that I was approaching you with ill intentions?” Vivian abruptly raised her
So, you deliberately watched me make a fool of myself?”

Calista wasn’t as angry as she thought she would be.
“Mhm. You’re right. By the way, I have a surprise for you.”
Vivian looked at her skeptically.
“What do you mean by that?”
Calista didn’t respond; she just smiled at her. Her smile sent shivers down Vivian’s spine.
Calista had already walked away when she came to and wanted to ask more questions. Vivian felt like she had seen her before as she looked at her back. Hugo walked out the door behind her.
Vivian hurriedly recovered her composure and greeted him, “Uncle Hugo, are you heading back-
A hoarse voice sounded from behind her before she could finish her sentence.
“Vivian Jacquez, you liar!”
All of a sudden, a woman lunged at her and strangled her. It was Amelia!
Amelia looked like a mad woman. Her time in detention had taken its toll on her. More than half of her
hair had turned white. Her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Vivian.
“You promised you’d let my son study abroad. Why was it canceled? Why? Did you lie to me?”
Calista was on her way home when she heard the news about Diego. It was a bombshell.
“Breaking News: Diego Is Gay.”
Diego was both his real name and his stage name.

Diego had been in the industry for a while, and all those shady business had remained hidden until now… Calista turned to look at Lucian, who was in the driver’s seat.
He turned over when he noticed her gaze, his eyes sweeping over her brightly lit screen.
“If all you’re going to say is thank you, save it.”
Calista swallowed that “thank you” and turned her head to look out the window. Lucian snorted. Ironically, he was the one who told her to shut up, but he was also the one who got angry in the end.
The couple returned home under a heavy atmosphere. Lucian walked straight up the stairs without saying a word after getting out of the car. He didn’t even turn the lights on.
Calista stood in the hallway for a while and appeared befuddled as if she was lost in thought. After a
while, she went to the kitchen.
Calista took a piece of cake from the fridge, went to the liquor cabinet, and picked out the most expensive bottle of wine. Then, she sat on a nearby high stool and drank slowly.
The warm–toned dim lighting cast a gentle glow on her face.
Calista rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head, and looked toward the stairwell. Her eyes were half- closed, and there was a dreamy look in her eyes.
Calista was dressed in a form–fitting black evening gown with a small V–neck. Her fair skin had a rosy hue. She looked incredibly sexy and beautiful.
Lucian stumbled upon this alluring scene as he descended the stairs. He pursed his lips and frowned as he walked over. He didn’t have any inappropriate thoughts at that moment.
“Calista’s drunk, and she’s a little… alluring when she’s drunk,” he thought
“Have you been drinking?”
That was a rhetorical question Calista had emptied the bottle of wine on the table, and she was reeking
alcohol. He could smell it from a mile away.

Lucian was angry and amused at the same time. He hurriedly scooped her up into his arms. There was a red mark on her chin, which stood out prominently on her fair skin.
“Did you drink to play the victim because you didn’t want to apologize for making me angry?”
Calista leaned against him, her hand wandering all over his body. It wasn’t wandering, though; she was
running her hand down his abdomen. Lucian’s eyes darkened as he took her hand in his.
His voice was low and hoarse as he said, “Going any further down is crossing the line.”
“Did the doctor say there was still hope?”
Lucian was utterly confused.
“Have you ever tried to do it with other women?”
Calista answered her question.
“Oh, I’ve asked that last time. Have you changed that quack doctor? What did the other doctors say?”
but
He was at a loss for words. A vein popped out in his neck, but he couldn’t argue with a drunk, so he bent
down.
“I’ll carry you upstairs to bed.”
Her eyes were bleary as she leaned back and brought her head close to him. Her eyes seemed to hold
countless shining stars in the light.
“Thank you for today. Let me help you as a way of repaying you.”
