Chapter 282
“Who would even dare p>
Yara hadn’t expected Calliope to be so unpredictable. But then again, Calliope was always full of surprises, so maybe it wasn’t that shocking after all.
Uriah rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. Calliope was starting to remind him a lot of Silas. He wasn’t sure if she’d picked up Silas’s quirky nature after spending some time with him, or if she’d always been like that.
Uriah had given up trying to reason with Silas long ago. Silas never worried about his wife getting into trouble.
Calliope didn’t stop at calling the big tiger “Kitty.” She stepped further and approached the massive beast.
She walked right up to the tiger, step by step. The tiger, which had been napping, lifted its head, confused by this bold human.
It hadn’t expected a human to enter its cage, let alone call it “Kitty.” More surprisingly, this particular human seemed unafraid, unlike most humans terrified of it.
The tiger, which should have been gearing up to attack, was clearly bewildered by Calliope’s audacity. It stood up cautiously, eyeing her with a mix of suspicion and fear.
Then, out of nowhere, the tiger roared at Calliope. As everyone else took a step back in fear, Calliope did something utterly surprising.
Before the roar could escape the tiger’s mouth, Calliope raised her hand and slapped the tiger on its face.
The slap was loud and clear, echoing in the ears of everyone present. It stunned not only the tiger but also everyone watching.
Calliope frowned at the tiger in dissatisfaction.
“Kitty, your breath stinks!” she said with a grimace.
The tiger looked bewildered, its mind filled with confusion, forgetting to continue roaring at Calliope.
“Shut your mouth,” Calliope commanded, reaching out to manually close the tiger’s jaws.
Incredulous, the tiger tried to struggle and open its mouth
but Calliope’s grip was firm. Itine

The tiger stared at her with confusion and disbelief, its eyes
wide open. The crowd around
was just as stunned.
“Whoa… Did she shut that tiger up with her bare hands p>
“What kind of woman is Calliope, anyway? Aren’t women supposed to struggle with opening pickle jars p>
“First she kicked an alligator, and now she’s silenced a tiger with her hands. I almost feel sorry for the tiger p>
“Is she even human p>
“I’ve never seen a woman with such strength p>
“I was worried she was being reckless. Now, I feel bad for the tiger p>
“I can’t help but find this a bit funny p>
“Does the Jewell family think someone like her is useless p>
“With that strength, she could make a fortune doing manual labor p>
“Maybe the Jewell family values intelligence over brawn, and they think Calliope isn’t clever enough p>
“Come on Calliope is a whiz at chess
