There was a time when their disdain would leave her feeling crushed, yearning for their approval, but those days were long gone.
Now, nothing this family did could stir any emotion in her.
As Franco nodded, he glanced back at the Jewell family, his gaze lingering on them. "You’re treating a piece of trash like it’s treasure, while tossing away the real gem. One day, you’ll regret it."
With that, the door closed behind him.
Monty and the others eyed Calliope, still harboring a sliver of disbelief.
"Callie, I’m not sure how you convinced Franco to play along, but that’s beside the point. We’re inviting you to dinner because, frankly, we need your help to save the company, Horatio’s legs, and sort things with Lisette. After all, you’ve got the same blood running through your veins as the rest of us, the Jewell family. Can’t you lend a hand? If word gets out that you refused, it won’t look good!"
Calliope smirked, "Are you trying to guilt-trip me?"
Monty quickly replied, "That’s not what I meant!"
Calliope chuckled softly, "Then what did you mean? If I don’t help, what’s your plan?"
Zelda, her face darkened with frustration, chimed in, "Calliope, don’t be so unreasonable. We've already humbled ourselves to ask for your help. You’ve eaten such an expensive meal, and you’re seriously not going to help? How can you be so thick-skinned?"
"You think one meal is enough to buy me?" Calliope glanced at Zelda. "Million, let's return this meal to her."
Zelda was speechless, her eyes widened in shock.
Million had already started pretending to gag.
Valerian’s lips twitched, looking like he wished they wouldn’t take things so far.
They all knew they wouldn’t actually regurgitate their meal; it would be disgusting.

Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
