Chapter 360 “What’s wrong? Is my being here making you all uncomfortable?” Calliope asked, glancing around the table. “If you’re not happy about it, I can just leave,” she offered, starting to rise from her chair. Monty reached out to stop her. “Callie, that’s not what we meant. Don’t be
Chapter 359 As soon as the waiter left, Monty turned to Calliope with a grin plastered across his face, his tone as sugary as a fresh batch of maple syrup. “Callie, I’m really glad you decided to join us for dinner today! All this talk about leaving or not leaving-come
Chapter 358 Calliope glanced at Valerian with a smirk playing on her lips, “Mr. Valerian, thank you for going through all this trouble. Must’ve been quite the hassle to make those reservations p> Each of Calliope’s sarcastic remarks seemed to send a shiver through everyone present. They felt uncomfortable and
Chapter 357 It was evening. Damien dropped Calliope off at the entrance of the Pearl Tiger Club. She brought Million along for the ride. Million had run alongside the car all the way there. With its snow-white fur, it looked like a creature straight out of a fairy tale, making
Chapter 356 “Go see what their attitude is now,” Calliope said casually, sipping her morning coffee at the kitchen table. The Jewell family couldn’t really hurt her anymore. Besides, who would turn down a free dinner? She figured she might as well go and enjoy a meal on their dime.
Chapter 355 “It’s all because of that Calliope! I told you, she’s a jinx, bringing nothing but trouble for us p> Zelda was convinced, almost obsessively so, that Calliope was a harbinger of bad luck. “If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t be in this mess. If we hadn’t taken
Chapter 354 “They say they need to interrogate her, so we can’t take her home just yet p> Valerian’s emotions were all over the place. The whole situation with Calliope and Lisette had left him feeling a bit frazzled. “What are we going to do now?” Horatio asked, frowning. “I
Chapter 353 Lisette was taken away just like that. In the midst of the crowd, Horatio caught Calliope’s eye. He seemed to want to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he followed the others out. The banquet hall buzzed with whispers and chatter. “Who would’ve thought the Jewell
Chapter 352 “Of course p> Silas stood at the entrance, his voice cutting through the tension like a cold breeze. No one had noticed when he arrived, but now there he was, arms crossed and eyes firmly locked on Calliope. “My dear, there’s no need to forgive anyone,” he announced,
Chapter 351 The room was abuzz with whispers as all eyes turned towards Valerian. Who would have thought that in this situation, he’d still be blaming his sister? Shouldn’t he feel guilty? Shouldn’t he at least show some concern for her? Yet, there he was, criticizing her for not presenting
Chapter 350 “The worst part is, she might never get back on her feet p> “Lisette is just the worst p> “If I were Calliope, I’d be furious p> “Does the Jewell family really like that foster daughter of theirs so much p> “Sure, Lisette’s awful, but the Jewell family
Chapter 349 “Horatio, when Calliope says something like that, there’s got to be a reason. I think you’ve put your trust in the wrong person p> “Heavens, Lisette’s been a liar since she was a kid, and you still believe her p> “The Jewell family folks just don’t get it,
Chapter 348 “Wow, she’s really something, isn’t she? No wonder she’s the prom queen p> “Calliope is indeed one of a kind. She’s amazing p> “Who are we kidding? The real letdown here is that foster daughter p> “Seriously, the Jewell family is kind of a joke. They took in
Chapter 347 Valerian and Horatio were more bewildered than Lisette. The two brothers stared at their phones, utterly gobsmacked by the videos, photos, and messages from the big shots circulating online. They had always pegged Calliope as a no-good slacker, a total loser. This turn of events was so monumental
Chapter 346 After all, Lisette was an adopted daughter, while Calliope was the epitome of a silver spoon heiress. But they both had it all wrong. For a moment, the two of them were utterly dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. Lisette felt her world shattering around her. All the
Chapter 345 The stuffed bunny had been Calliope’s favorite, but her three brothers snatched it away and handed it over to Lisette, the girl their parents had just adopted. They scolded Calliope harshly, accusing her of being mean to Lisette and insisted she should treat her better in the future.
Chapter 344 “Enough!” Horatio snapped, his voice cutting through the tension in the room. “If you don’t want to help, no one’s forcing you. You don’t need to go on and on with your explanations p> “Horatio,” Calliope replied with a smirk, “don’t flatter yourself. I’m not explaining for your
Chapter 343 “Calliope, you’re just jealous of how well we treat Lisette. There’s no need to act like this!” Valerian said, looking up at Calliope with a hint of disdain in his eyes. He couldn’t believe how much he was starting to dislike Lisette. Sometimes he wished she hadn’t been
Chapter 342 “Besides, they weren’t spreading rumors, they were just repeating what they’d heard,” someone said, trying to defend the chatter. “Calliope, what’s your next move?” another voice chimed in. “Yeah, even if you weren’t expelled, you’ve still got plenty of issues,” a third pointed out. “There are a lot
Chapter 341 The murmurs in the crowd below grew louder by the minute. Everyone was staring at Calliope, more and more stunned by the revelations. She hadn’t been expelled after all! Not only that, but she had been one of the top students at that prestigious university, earning countless awards
