Chapter 838
“I used to have no idea. Honestly, I was pretty naive-I just believed whatever she said p>
“It wasn’t until recently that I found out: all those things we thought Lisette had done for us? Turns out, it was actually Calliope who did them p>
“And not only did we not know, but when she tried to explain, we actually yelled at her p>
“We thought she was out of line p>
“We thought she was the imposter, and we trusted Lisette unconditionally. We never once trusted Callie p>
“We were wrong. Wildly wrong p>
“I know that now, but my family-they still have no clue p>
“They’re not just clueless, they’re doubling down on their mistakes p>
“So I’m asking everyone here—please help me knock some sense into them p>
“It’s not just Valerian who never gave Callie a dime-even Horatio didn’t! I’m calling Horatio right now; I bet he’ll tell you himself p>
Ulysses quickly dialed Horatio’s number.
He put the call on speaker and asked him point-blank.
Horatio answered honestly.
After hanging up, Ulysses turned to the whole room. “Did you all hear that? Horatio never paid her a cent either! So all this talk about Callie stealing money from the Jewell family? Total nonsense p>
“This is just the Jewell family being greedy, plain and simple p>
Valerian’s face turned a shade of beet red. He glared at Ulysses. “Ulysses, you’ve completely lost your mind p>
Lisette jumped in, “That’s right! Maybe the Jewell family didn’t spend money on Calliope, but Kermit did! Kermit supported her, Kermit’s savings all went to her- how can you say she didn’t take Jewell family money p>
Ulysses shot Lisette a cold smile.
“You’re not wrong, Grandpa did give her money. But how do you know it wasn’t because he wanted to p>
“And can any of you honestly say you ever took care of Grandpa in his old age? Did you ever give him anything p>
“You couldn’t even be bothered to
visit him when he was sick. He’s t
been gone for years now, and you people have the nerve to fight over his will?” s
“Callie was the one who took care of Grandpa in his final days. She was his
adopted daughter. So what if he left her his estate p>
Ulysses glared at the Jewell family.
Calliope glanced at him, then looked out over the audience and spoke up.
“Grandpa did leave me some inheritance p>
“But let’s get one thing straight: Grandpa’s estate wasn’t all that big. Some of what
I have actually came from my mother p>
“Grandpa was just keeping my mother’s assets safe for me p>
“And yes, I’m well-off now, but my money has nothing to do with the Jewell family p>
“Some of it is from my mother’s
set
inheritance, some from Grandpa, but a lot of it learned myself. My brothers helped me out, too.” s
“I don’t see how any of that belongs to the Jewell family p>
“I know what you’re thinking: how do we know Grandpa only had a small estate p>
“Well, I came prepared. I brought evidence with me today p>
“So next,
look at like everyone to take a famine records-what the actually got from met

“I have the paperwork for my assets and Grandpa’s. It’s all there p>
“Once you see it, everything will be clear p>
