Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 144

Noticing Callum’s expression, Alaina could feel her heart skip a beat. “Callum, what are you trying to do?”

“What do you think? It’s time to pay the price.”

She widened her eyes in disbelief before looking around. “Callum, what you are doing is against the law. Did you see the reporters around? You can’t deny your doing if what you did is revealed to the public.”

He remained calm even after she warned him. Casting a glance at the crowd with ease, he asked, “Did you see anything?”

No single person in Damoria would claim they didn’t know Callum’s name.

Even though he kept a low profile, he wasn’t the kind of person to mess with.

A few years ago, someone talked badly about Callum after facing failure in his business. The next day, the man and his family got banished from Damoria.

Nobody ever knew Callum’s true ability, but they held one principle, which was staying out of his way as far as possible or showing respect to him when coming across him.

Alaina must have a death wish to cross Callum.

The guests were all sophisticated. They knew better than to stand up for Alaina, who was a nobody and ended up getting on Callum’s bad side. If so, they rather kept what happened today a secret, in hope of gaining Callum’s favor and striking a deal in the future.

The guests shook their heads. Even the reporters pretended not to see anything by putting their phones and cameras away.

Alaina finally recalled that nobody in Damoria could even par with Callum’s status or influence. A sane person would never get on his bad side.

As the last hope slipped from her hand, she went limp and allowed the men to drag her away.

Once Alaina left, some of the guests tried to clear the awkward silence by lightening the mood. “I told you, Miss Lynwood—Wait, it’s Mrs. Winthrop now——is a good person. There’s no way she would hurt someone.”
