Chapter 214 Should Not Have Done That

Naturally, Sarah didn’t want to follow Callie’s orders. There was no way Queenie would stay there obediently as well, so it was difficult for things to proceed. In the end, two housekeepers went ahead and did Sarah’s job for her.

Sarah could only stand aside and watch the chaos with a shocked expression on her face. She had always known that Callie was someone not to be trifled with, but Sarah had never witnessed the latter’s methods with her own eyes after all those years. Whenever Callie was home, her temperament was considered mild. During the process, Queenie struggled wildly and did her best to fight back like a madman while shrieking at the top of her lungs.

Callie’s housekeepers possessed extraordinary strength as well. Queenie’s petite figure was nothing in front of them.

At first, Queenie refused to bow her head, but after a short while, she was intimidated by everything that was happening to her. When she finally realized Callie meant business, she decided to follow her orders obediently and filmed a short video.

Queenie had done things like this in the past to her own classmate. In fact, her way of doing things was

crueler.

Back then, that classmate went crazy right after Queenie uploaded the video to the internet. In the end, the poor classmate was forced to withdraw from school as she could no longer stay there. Her parents did come to school with the intention to make demands, but they were forced to sweep everything under the rug as they couldn’t afford to offend the Hoffman family.

All Callie did was replicate the same method that Queenie had used to deal with others on her. While gazing down at Queenie, who lay curling on the floor with tears streaming down her cheeks, Callie spoke up in a casual manner. “I’ll make sure to save this video. It’ll forever remain in the camera’s storage space as long as you don’t provoke those who are close to me. However, if you dare pull any tricks on them, I’ll have someone upload this video to all major social media platforms. I promise you that the entire world will definitely watch it.”

Queenie glared at Callie as if she wanted to swallow her alive. “I’m definitely telling my parents and Mr. Xanthos! When that time comes, I want you to pay the price!”

Callie just shot her a pitiful look. “If I have the guts to do this from the start, that means I’m not afraid of whoever you’re lodging your complaint to! In fact, please tell your dear mother to stop scheming behind my back. If she insists on sowing discord between me and my family, I assure you that I’m more than capable of returning the favor!”

Then, Callie ordered, “Sarah, give Queenie some clothes. Make arrangements for a car to send her home.” Poor Sarah was so shocked that she had already crumbled to the floor earlier. She was unable to regain her senses no matter what. Her tear-streaked cheeks were still wet. The moment she heard Callie’s order, she was finally able to snap out of her trance. With wobbly knees, Sarah got up slowly and went upstairs to grab some clothes for Queenie. After that, she led the latter out of the door as per the order given.

Once Sarah and Queenie left the room, Callie ordered the housekeepers to leave as well. Soon, Callie and Yuliana were the only ones left in the parlor.

Callie shot Yuliana a glance, quickly noting how pale the latter’s complexion was as she pursed her lips tightly and bowed her head. Callie paused for a moment before saying, “Ana, you must be thinking about how brutal my method is, right?”

Yuliana raised her head to look at Callie, not knowing what to say at that moment. Even though she knew about Callie’s actual personality and wasn’t surprised by the fact that the latter would resort to such methods, she still couldn’t help but reject Callie right after witnessing her in action.

Yuliana even felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

A while later, she finally spoke up with a frown. “You didn’t have to do that, you know.”

A light chuckle escaped from Callie’s lips. “People like Queenie are cruel in nature. If I don’t threaten her, she’ll continue to be cruel to you in the future. Did you seriously think you won the fight just by slapping her once? Judging from Queenie’s personality, I know that she’ll definitely come up with different ways just to cause trouble for you. Once that happens, you and Christopher won’t be able to live peacefully ever again. However,

thanks to this video, Queenie will think twice before doing anything. At least, she won’t dare to provoke you for a short period of time.”

Yuliana knew that Callie’s words made sense, but she was still unable to accept what the latter had done. thanks to her moral compass.

One glance at Yuliana was all Callie needed to know what the former was thinking. “Ana, you should devote your kindness to people who truly deserve it instead of showing it to people like Queenie. You may not agree with what I’ve done today, but Queenie did the exact same thing to other girls many years ago. In fact, her methods were even more brutal than mine. Back then, she was only a teenager. To think that she was capable of showing her merciless and brutal side at such a young age…”

Callie let out a soft sigh before continuing. “Anyway, you don’t have to feel so guilty. You aren’t the sole reason why I did those things today.”

What she said weren’t just empty words meant to console Yuliana. Callie had been longing for a chance to teach Tanya and Queenie a lesson.

One of them kept introducing women to Isaac, while the other kept egging on Sarah to cause trouble in the Xanthos residence. Callie was lucky enough to use a good reason that day to drop Tanya a reminder of how cruel and decisive she actually was, lest the latter continue to think of her as a pushover.

Meanwhile, Sarah watched as Queenie got into the car. The latter’s expression was so stormy that Sarah couldn’t help but feel afraid.

She called out awkwardly, “Queenie…”

Upon hearing Sarah’s voice, Queenie looked in her direction. “Why didn’t you help me out just now?”

The sight of Queenie’s twisted expression and warped gaze scared Sarah greatly, but at the same time, she felt slightly guilty. The latter paused for a moment before finally explaining, “I… I really wanted to help you out, but those housekeepers are the strongest people at home. I couldn’t defeat them at all.”

“That’s just an excuse!” Queenie had so much suppressed rage within her at that moment, so she could only vent everything on Sarah. “I think you were just enjoying the drama! You definitely wanted me to…”

She was unable to continue her sentence afterward. That particular memory made her face go pale.

When had she ever experienced such humiliation?

“No!”

Sarah had always been friends with Queenie since she was a little girl. Naturally, she viewed Queenie as her own sister. Her relationship with Queenie was even closer than the one she shared with Kaiden, her own fiancé. When Sarah heard Queenie’s hurtful remarks, she could feel anger and grievance brewing within her.

Sarah explained hurriedly, “Queenie, how could you think of me like that?”

Upon noticing Sarah’s sad expression, Queenie felt slightly annoyed, so she just waved her hand while saying, “Fine, whatever. I misspoke, all right? Then again, why are you so afraid of that bitch Callie? You’re the young miss of the Xanthos family, aren’t you? That means you’ve stayed with the family far longer than Callie has! Why couldn’t you fight back?”

Sarah could only purse her lips tightly, unable to reply to Queenie.

She had no idea when exactly did Callie take over the entire Xanthos family. Somehow, Callie was able to spot all signs of activity that happened within the family.

Seeing Sarah acting in such a way, Queenie harrumphed coldly, clearly disappointed in her for not meeting her expectations. Afterward, the memory of what happened earlier prompted her to glance at Sarah as she said, “You must inform Mr. Xanthos about what happened today. I’ll go home and tell my mom as well. We mustn’t allow Callie to get away with this!”

Sarah hesitated, so she ended up not giving Queenie a proper response. Despite knowing that Callie had gone overboard while dealing with Queenie, Sarah still had a feeling that Isaac and the Hoffman family wouldn’t comment on the incident. After all, Callie was the type of woman who wouldn’t act without having enough confidence in herself.

Once Queenie left, Sarah wanted to return to her room and call Isaac. Just as she walked up the stairs, she bumped into the butler.

“Ms. Xanthos, Mrs. Xanthos has requested to see you.”

All color fled from Sarah’s face at that moment. She was rooted on the spot, staring at the butler with her lips

pursed and balling her fists tightly out of instinct.

The butler smiled gently in response. “There’s no need to be afraid, Ms. Xanthos. Mrs. Xanthos merely wishes to speak to you.”

Sarah nodded slightly, clearly panicking on the inside. “Okay.”

She followed the butler back to the parlor. However, Yuliana and the housekeepers from before were already gone. Callie was the only one sitting in the parlor while gazing out the window, an impassive expression resting on her face.
