Chapter 240 Upton stood tall, his presence commanding and cold as his gaze fixed on Lisette. His eyes held an unmistakable accusation. Lisette’s heart lurched. Maybe at first, she had thought Upton was addressing Calliope, but now? Now she was certain – he was talking to her. But how was
Chapter 239 “Where’s Baber p> Calliope yanked Lisette’s hair, her expression dark as she made the question. “You crazy cow, let go of me p> Lisette winced as pain shot across her scalp, her eyes welling with tears. Calliope wasn’t playing around – her grip was ruthless, and the force
Chapter 238 “Baber is a smart kid. He wouldn’t just wander off p> Calliope frowned, pulling out her phone to call Baber. No answer. Her stomach twisted. Then she remembered- She had seen Horatio and the others earlier, but not Lisette. Could it be her? Given Lisette’s personality, it was
Chapter 237 Calliope couldn’t even be bothered to explain herself to Ulysses. “Move. Don’t get in the way p> “What did you just say?” Ulysses stared at her in disbelief. “Is that any way to talk to your own brother p> “Brother?” Calliope gave him a once-over. “Sorry, I don’t

Chapter 235 “Callie, stop messing around! This is serious-someone’s life is on the line! You could make things worse!” Horatio sat in his wheelchair, his brows furrowed as he watched Calliope.

Chapter 234 “Yeah! Calliope is completely heartless p> They muttered as they chased after Calliope and Baber. Before long, Calliope and Baber had reached the crowd gathered ahead. They squeezed their way to the front, flanked closely by four bodyguards who kept them securely in the middle. “What’s going on,
Chapter 233 “You all seem to forget. I’ve cut ties with your family.” Calliope’s voice was cool, detached. “So, your problems are none of my concern p> “Calliope, do you really think you’ll do just fine without us? What, you don’t think you’ll ever come crawling back?” Ulysses growled. “I’m
Chapter 232 “Ghosts p> “Oh my God, that was terrifying p> “I thought I was gonna die p> “So many ghosts p> Calliope was at loss for words. She had seen timid people before, but these guys? This was next level. She exchanged a look with Baber, both of them
Chapter 231 The next day, Calliope kept her promise to Baber and went to the hospital to pick him up. Baber had been ready for a while, eagerly waiting for her. As soon as he saw her, his face lit up with excitement. “Mommy! You’re finally here! I’ve been all
Chapter 230 “Well, to put it simply, I’m actually pretty well-off. I wouldn’t say I’m as rich as a king, but I’m not far off,” Calliope spoke with complete seriousness. “I’ve been lucky. My grandfather left me quite a bit of wealth and assets. When I was younger, I liked
Chapter 229 “They probably won’t believe it p> She knew exactly how the Jewells saw her. To them, she was useless – someone with no skills, no ambition, and no real value. Not that she cared. Calliope shrugged. “There’s no need to go out of the way to tell them.
Chapter 228 Given Upton’s status, what could he possibly have to trade? What did he have that Upton would want? “Mr. Thorne, please, we need your help!” Lisette snapped back to reality, quickly jumping in to plead on Horatio’s behalf. “My brother’s legs are in critical condition, and only she
Chapter 227 Mommy? The single word from Baber sent shockwaves among them, leaving Horatio, Valerian, and Lisette utterly dumbfounded.

Chapter 226 After that, Baber turned to Upton. “Daddy, it’s not like we have other options. And I don’t have much time left anyway, so why not give it a shot? Gotta risk it for the biscuit, right? But listen, we need to be clear on something – if anything
Chapter 225 Lisette pushed Horatio’s wheelchair over to where Valerian was standing. “Valerian, how did Callie get in there p> Confusion was etched on her face. What was Calliope’s deal with Upton?

Chapter 224 “Where do you think you’re going? This isn’t a place you should be wandering into. Do you even know who’s in that VIP suite on the top floor p> Valerian stepped in front of Calliope, blocking her path. “That room belongs to none other than the only son
Chapter 223 Lisette’s eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at Yvette. “This isn’t a bad thing at all. If you can’t save the baby, why not take some advantage of it?” “What do you mean?” Yvette growled, her expression clouded with gloom. “How is it not a bad thing?
Chapter 222 “Lisette, hurry up and check on your brother!” Monty urged her. Lisette barely knew what she was doing, but she still went through the motions, placing her fingers on Horatio’s wrist as if she actually understood how to check a pulse. She put on a convincing enough act
