Chapter 279 A Hateful Man

Yara glared disdainfully at Lucian and remarked, "Have you ever wondered how your ex-husband managed to make everyone despise him?"

Lucian found himself at a loss for words, a rare occurrence indeed. Calista watched him stumble for the first time and couldn't help but find it amusing.

Her urge to resist a wry smile failed, and she responded, "The universe seems to have a way of rejecting him, perhaps."

Yara's gaze then shifted to Calista's swollen ankle.

She furrowed her brow and inquired, "Whoa, what happened to your ankle? Did you get it checked out by a doctor?"

Yara scanned the room filled with assorted alcohol bottles as she approached Calista.

There was quite a selection of alcoholic beverages on display, ranging from top-shelf choices to more budget-friendly options.

Yara had immediately spotted the array upon entering the living room.

Since Calista wasn't known for indulging in alcohol, it didn't require much detective work to deduce who was responsible for this spread.
