Chapter 311 About an hour later, Valerian gently opened Lisette’s bedroom door. “Lisette, are you okay p> He saw her sitting there, looking all kinds of upset, and his heart ached for her. “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let you go there p> “Valerian, it’s not
Chapter 310 Ulysses was fuming. Zelda was at her wit’s end. Horatio and the others had finished cleaning themselves up and joined the family in the living room. The rest of the family was there except for Lisette, who was too embarrassed to come down. Monty sat there, looking utterly
Chapter 309 “Ulysses, what happened to your foot? It’s swollen like a balloon p> Zelda’s eyes widened with shock as she looked at Ulysses. She glanced back at his face, which was usually his pride and joy. Among her kids, Ulysses was the most handsome and the one who had
Chapter 308 “Really?” Calliope pursed her lips. He hadn’t said he loved her, only that she was his wife. Was it only a sense of duty? Calliope glanced at Silas and took a bite of the pasta. It tasted delicious, just the way she liked it. “How is it?” Silas
Chapter 307 Calliope was used to the Jewell family’s antics, but Ulysses’ words still shocked her. “Why should I care about her?” she asked incredulously. “I barely know her, and it’s not like she’s ever done anything nice for me p> With a smirk, she added, “If you care so
Chapter 306 “What did you mean by that?” Valerian snapped with frustration. Calliope chuckled softly, “I meant it literally. I’m genuinely impressed. I should learn from Lisette how to say something and have the whole family rally around me p> She leaned closer, scrutinizing the group before her. “Don’t you
Chapter 305 “Mr. Lopez? Who?” Calliope asked, a bit puzzled. Monty kept going on about Mr. Lopez, but she had no clue who this Mr. Lopez was. What was his deal, and why was he insistent on meeting her? She instinctively glanced at Silas, hoping he might know something about
Chapter 304 “Callie, come on. It’s a tiny favor we’re asking for,” Horatio pleaded softly, looking at Calliope hopefully. “Help us out, please p> Calliope glanced at Horatio, her expression unreadable. She stayed silent. In her mind, he was just like the rest of them. “Calliope, our patience is wearing
Chapter 303 “I know I messed up, and I’m here to apologize!” Monty flashed a nervous smile at Calliope. “I know you’ve been eyeing the shares in the company. How about I give you some p> At the mention of shares, Calliope looked up, surprise flickering across her face. “You’re
Chapter 302 Valerian turned around, just realizing Lisette hadn’t come in. She was stuck at the doorway, blocked by Snowy, their large, fluffy pet. “Calliope, what’s going on?” Valerian snapped, clearly frustrated. “Oh, it’s just that she reeks of urine, and Snowy doesn’t like it,” Calliope shrugged. “What can I
Chapter 301 The tiger swiftly retreated to Calliope’s side. It glanced at Calliope, then at Lisette, seemingly disapproving of something. Calliope glanced at Lisette and said with feigned surprise, “Oh my, Lisette, did you wet your pants? Snowy was playing with you. Why are you so scared p> It dawned
Chapter 300 He heaved the wheelchair up with all his might, then scrambled and tumbled onto the road. As he glanced back, he saw that the alligator hadn’t followed, finally letting out a sigh of relief. “My foot p> Ulysses had managed to free his foot from the bear trap,
Chapter 299 “Well, did she let us in?” Ulysses asked impatiently as the gatekeeper finished his phone call and returned to them. “Yes, Mrs. Myers said you can go in,” the gatekeeper replied, giving them a quick once-over. “Follow me p> As they walked, the gatekeeper added, “This place is
Chapter 298 “I forgot my phone, and I need to reach her. Could you please let her know?” Monty pleaded with the gatekeeper, hoping he’d let him in. He was desperate to see Calliope. Lisette stood beside him, flustered but silent. The gatekeeper reluctantly picked up the phone to call
Chapter 297 Zelda had just been on the receiving end of a verbal lashing from Monty. She finally managed to mutter, “She’s blocked me, too p> Monty sighed, exasperated. “Is this deal that crucial?” Zelda couldn’t wrap her head around it. “That Mr. Lopez guy, if he’s not interested in
Chapter 296 Did Calliope do something? “Why, why is she so important?” Monty asked, still baffled, as he looked at Mr. Lopez sitting across from him. “That’s not something you need to know,” Mr. Lopez replied curtly. “Please escort Mr. Jewell out p> The assistant promptly ushered Monty out of
Chapter 295 “What?” Monty looked at Mr. Lopez in utter confusion. Mr. Lopez didn’t speak immediately but gave Monty a long, scrutinizing look. “How could someone like you have such a talented and beautiful daughter p> Monty was shocked, trying to decipher the meaning behind Mr. Lopez’s words. Was he
Chapter 294 Why is that so? Is Calliope that important? Lisette’s eyes flickered with darkness as she glanced toward Mr. Lopez, hoping to salvage her image and jab at Calliope. “Mr. Lopez, perhaps you have some misunderstandings about Calliope? Her reputation isn’t the best. Associating with her could tarnish your
Chapter 293 “Mr. Lopez, I didn’t mean it that way!” Monty was growing pale, trying to explain in a panic. “I didn’t mean to fool you. They’re both my daughters. I thought bringing Lisette was the same as bringing Callie p> “Well, if that’s how you see it,” Mr. Lopez
Chapter 292 “Yeah.” Monty rubbed his temples, feeling the stress from the recent company issues. “Lately, with Upton squeezing us, we’ve lost quite a bit of business. Calliope has caused all the trouble. Can’t she just talk some sense into Upton? We’ll be bankrupt if this keeps up p> “Today’s
