Chapter 22 Let Us Do Something Else
Calista took a step back in shock, noi because he looked threatening, but because of his face!
Jarrett! She couldn’t believe her eyes..what sort of dumb luck was this? She just walked out to find someone who would greatly help Quincy in the future?
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Jarrett narrowed his eyes and forced himself to stand He quietly threatened Calista, “Chase them away, or else I’ll kill you!”
Then he moved aside so that Calista could open the door.
Calista took a deep breath and cracked open the door- there were policemen standing outside. “Erm… do you need anything?”
Calista asked timidly and the policemen saw that it was only a young girl inside. The most senior officer asked gently, “Little girl, have you seen a man in black?”
Calista shook her head, “I just came back from a run and was about to bathe, so I didn’t come out…
The police officer saw that she was indeed wearing exercise gear, covered in perspiration and stank, so he believed what she said and walked away..
The moment Calista closed the door, Jarreti pushed her against the door.
“Listen, I’m going to sleep here tonight. You’d better not play games with me, otherwise be prepared to die a horrible death!”
Calista’s face turned white, and she stared at him for while before finally speaking. “If I listen to you, will you give me money?”
Money?
The man raised an eyebrow in surprise. He didn’t think Calista was so bold as to strike a deal with him – this situation was getting more interesting!
He curled his lips and asked, “How much do you want?”
*$200,000.” Calista looked down at his leg and said, “The bones in your feet are out of line, and there’s some vascular congestion in your lower torso. I’ll treat your injuries and let you sleep here for $200,000. How’s that?”
Jarrett Jook a step back and smiled slyly, his handsome face reflecting a glint of evil. “Ok, I’ll let you treat my injuries. If I get well, I’ll give you $200,000 tomorrow. But if I don’t get well, I’ll sell you to hurman traffickers. How’s that, little girl?”
Calista pulled up the collar of her jacket, looked down and said calmly, “Prepare $200,000 then. Move aside, I’m going to bathe.”
Jarrett found her reaction a little strange, so he pointed her gun at her and even though he was feeling

weak, he managed to muster some strength and shouted, “Don’t try anything funny. Give me your cell phone!”
Calista glanced back at him, “I don’t have one.”
He laughed coldly. “Who doesn’t have a cell phone in this day and age?”
“You want to do a body search?”
Jarrett frowned at this and spat out, “Who wants to search your stinky body? Take off your clothes, I want to inspect.”
Calista looked at herself and realized she was really quite smelly because the practice session earlier. had pushed toxins out of her body. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
She slowly lifted her arms and took off her jacket, revealing a tank top inside.
The jacket fell to the floor, and the tight tank top inside showed off her thin but muscular upper body. The exercise leggings she wore were also very fitting, so they couldn’t hide anything, and couldn’t hide her figure either.
Even though her stepmother had been very stingy with her, but because Calista was willing to cat anything and always worked out, she was thin in the right places and curvy in the right places – she had an excellent figure.
An evil glint flashed in Jarrett’s eyes as he quietly said “Keep stripping.”
Calista smiled – did she still need to strip further? It was obvious that these clothes couldn’t hide anything, and he was purposely making things difficult for her. So she walked over to the bathroom and exerted a little strength on the stainless steel door handle nailed into the door, pulling the handle out of the door easily.

Calista laughed, “Don’t be so nervous.”
She waved the handle in her hands, then flung it to the floor, and it landed with a loud thud..
“I was just removing the lock from the bathroom door so that you would have a peace of mind. The bathroom walls are also made from frosted glass and so you can make out what’s happening inside. If you see anything suspicious, you can come in anytime. Don’t you think I’m being very sincere?”
But the action earlier was a silent threat to the man in front of her come in if you dare!
Calista didn’t care about Jarrett’s darkened expression and slowly walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.
She turned the shower on, took off her clothes quickly and stood under the water to rinse off.
A lot of toxins were released earlier, which was normal. Her grandfather had said the more toxins

She also felt that her senses were heightened after that round of practice, and so Calista smiled gleefully and didn’t bother thinking about the ‘stranger’ sitting outside, and continued with bathing
She was able to keep calm in this situation because she knew what she was capable of, and Jarrett was badly injured at the same time. If he tried anything, she was able to let him have a taste of the pain she went through in her previous life….
Calista used both hands to push her hair back, closed her eyes and curled her lips into a cold smile.

Could you call this meeting with Jarrett fate? She hadn’t gone to look for him yet, but he had come knocking on her door already!
The Sinclairs were an organized crime syndicate, and while they had stopped most of their illegal dealings by this current generation, they still maintained control over various people, and had eyes and ears everywhere.
In her previous life, part of her terrible suffering was thanks to Jarrett!
Calista lifted her head and let the water hit her forehead directly. It seemed like this was the only way to suppress the hate that was taking form in her heart.
In previous life, after becoming successful, Quincy forced Calista to be her ‘assistant’ to cover the fact that she didn’t know anything about medical science.
Jarrett had heard Quincy was a famous doctor and wanted her to save his younger brother. Of course Quincy had no idea about how to do it. In the end Calista was the one who saved his brother, but this was credited to Quincy who used her new benefactor status to make Jarrett do many things for her.
After seeing Quincy’s true colors, Calista quarreled with Quincy and escaped from the house, and almost made it overseas with her professor.
But Jarrett caught Calista himself, and she cried and told Jarrett that the person who saved hither was her and not Quincy.
Jarrett wasn’t sure whether to believe her or not, but let her go. However, on the day she was su to leave the country, he sent people to capture her and passed her to Quincy.
Everything happened too quickly- the data that she wanted to use to make a comeback was taken away from her, and her right hand that she used for acupuncture was incapacitated by Quincy who wi afraid people would find out that Calista was the one who saved the life of Jarrett’s brother.
How should she deal with Jarrett?
Calista continued to let the water flow as she closed her eyes.
If it weren’t for him, she would have escaped overseas, made a comeback, exposed Quincy, and everything else would not have happened!
Destroy something he loves the most? He seems to love his younger brother very much.
At this moment, Jarrett was finally unable to remain sanding and sat down on the bed, his eyes still fixed nervously on the bathroom, in case Calista did any tricks.

He thought of how she yanked the handle out to threaten him and laughed to himself. How he had fallen from grace – such a small girl could be a threat to him!
Jarrett shook his head and tried to remain alert. He knew that people like him had to stay alert at all times, otherwise they would definitely meet a terrible end.
