Chapter 638
Calliope caught her brothers up on everything that had been going on lately.
She told them that the Jewell family wasn’t bothering her anymore, and honestly, she couldn’t care less about them now.
Especially after finding out she wasn’t even their biological child, she felt even more detached from the whole Jewell clan.
Quentin and the others all breathed a collective sigh of relief as she spoke.
Truth be told, they’d all been a little worried she might be too stubborn about it. Even if the Jewells weren’t her real family, being with them for so many years, it was only natural to have some feelings left.
They were worried she’d still care.
But thankfully, Calliope was seeing things clearly now.
“If that’s how you feel, then we can finally relax,” Quentin said, his voice gentle. “Callie, no matter where or when, you’re what matters most p>
Norton and Julius nodded in complete agreement.
Calliope understood that now, too. She smiled sweetly at them, her heart full, and gave a little nod.
As they sat around the dinner table, her brothers kept piling food onto Calliope’s plate-crispy roast chicken, creamy mashed potatoes, buttery green beans-until her plate was overflowing and her heart was warmer than ever.
Back when she was living with the Jewells, they never treated her like this. They always doted on Lisette, passing her the best slices of pie or the crispiest bacon at breakfast. But for Calliope? She was lucky if she got a second helping, let alone any warmth.
Sometimes, she’d felt so out of place in that house, it was like they were just waiting for her to leave.
But now, with her three brothers by her side, life felt right. She really loved having them around.
Between bites, Calliope chatted with them about little things. When someone cracked a joke, the four of them burst out laughing, nearly falling out of their chairs. It had been ages since she’d felt this happy.
After dinner, Calliope’s phone rang. It was Franco.
He told her the car she’d ordered had finally arrived and asked where to drop it
off.
Since she needed to swing by the office anyway and her brothers were with her, she decided to have Franco bring the car to her company’s frant door.
“Hey, do you guys have some free time?” she asked.
“If you’re not busy, would you come with me to the office? I need to handle a few
things, and then we can all head home together p>
“Of course,” her brothers replied without hesitation.
They had the next few days off anyway. And honestly, it didn’t
matter if it was the Jewell Grovel net
anywhere else if Calliope needed them, they of be there.

Hearing their answer, Calliope’s eyes sparkled with happiness.
She also remembered that she’d left Quentin and Julius’s gifts at the
office, so this was the perfe
ce to pick them up and hand them out.
The thought of surprising her brothers made her grin. She was sure they’d love what she’d picked for them.
After finishing their meal, the four of them headed out to the Jewell Group building.
At almost the exact same time, Valerian and Ulysses pulled up to the office as well.
Franco had parked the new car right out front, just like Calliope had asked.
She wanted Norton to be the first to test drive it, since he was the most excited about cars.
But just as they arrived, Valerian and Ulysses appeared.
“Hey, Franco, what are you up to?” Valerian called out, strolling over.
He caught sight of the car’s sleek lines, and his eyes immediately lit up.
