Chapter 769 Calliope glanced at Ulysses, sizing him up with a flicker of curiosity and suspicion. She wasn’t sure what he was after, but he definitely seemed different from before. Silas, always the protective one, stepped a little closer to Calliope. He didn’t say anything, but the frown on his
Chapter 768 Just then, out of nowhere, Zelda suddenly appeared. She spotted her youngest son talking with Calliope and a few others. She had no clue what was going on, but saw a crowd on Calliope’s side and her son standing there alone. Instantly, she jumped to conclusions: her poor
Chapter 767 Calliope and her friends had just wrapped up a round of games, and everyone was in high spirits. But after all the sparklers and firecrackers, they were all a little worse for wear, singed hair and all. So, when the fun started winding down, they decided to head
Chapter 766 None of them noticed it, except Ulysses. No wonder he’d been acting so weird lately. Clearly, he’d been hung up on this for a while. Lisette forced a shaky smile. “Ulysses, I’m actually closer to you guys than to my biological parents. I barely even know them. They’re
Chapter 765 “Ulysses Lisette hadn’t expected Ulysses to act like this. She looked at him, eyes wide and brimming with hurt. She’d always thought he’d be happy to see her. He usually spoiled her rotten, after all. But right now, he was ice-cold, and it left her feeling uneasy, even
Chapter 764 “Mr. Shepherd, you worry too much,” Uriah said with a chuckle. “Mavis has never been scared of these things. She’s got guts, always has. If she was ever afraid, she sure didn’t learn it from me p> “Whether or not she’s scared is her business,” Norton replied, glancing
Chapter 763 Ulysses’s attitude left Valerian a little unsettled, his feelings a tangled mess. He just couldn’t wrap his head around it. Why was Ulysses acting this way? He could’ve sworn Ulysses used to really like Lisette. The guy was always looking out for her, treating her with nothing but
Chapter 762 Since she’d found her real family, why had she never brought them up in front of the rest of them? What was really going on with her and her relatives? And if she had family now, why was she still hanging around the Jewell family? Was there something
Chapter 761 “You know who I am now?” Calliope looked at Ulysses, a sudden thought crossing her mind. If he knew she was that screenwriter, then maybe it all made sense. She knew he’d always been interested in those scripts. If he was just sucking up to her for the
Chapter 760 Monty and his group picked a table close to Calliope’s group. They chatted over burgers and fries, sneaking glances at Calliope every now and then. But she didn’t even bother to look up at them, not once. After a couple failed attempts at eye contact, they just exchanged
Chapter 759 After returning to the hotel, Calliope and her group headed straight upstairs. Monty and the others wanted to follow, but there was nothing they could do. They just stood there, fuming as the elevator doors slid shut. “She won’t even give me a chance to apologize!” Zelda snapped,
Chapter 758 “Callie, just give us a chance, will you?” Monty shouted, his voice echoing through the living room. “Yeah, sis, please. Give Mom a chance, okay? She really does love you, even if it doesn’t always seem like it. Don’t think she doesn’t care p> “We’re family, after all.
Chapter 757 Portia glanced up, her eyes flashing with annoyance and a touch of concern for Mavis. Uriah looked like he’d just bitten into a slice of burnt toast. His face soured instantly. “I’m her mentor. Of course she should listen to me. Why would I ever hurt her?” he
Chapter 756 Uriah looked right at Norton. “You peeled them for someone to eat, didn’t you? Well, I’m eating them. Aren’t you worried about Mavis? Just peel more. She’s always peeled my shrimp for me. But since you insist girls shouldn’t do it, you can take care of mine too
Chapter 755 Calliope and her friends were gathered in a cozy private booth at their favorite downtown bistro, the table crowded with plates of burgers, loaded fries, and all sorts of comfort food. Laughter and chatter filled the air as they dug in. “They didn’t follow us in here, did
Chapter 754 “As long as she’s willing to save the company, I’ll pay any price. Nothing’s too much p> Valerian looked at Lisette with genuine warmth in his eyes. “Lisette, you’ve always been so kind. You’ve done a lot for the Jewell family already p> He found himself liking her
Chapter 753 Calliope and her friends had gone out for the afternoon, laughing and chatting as they strolled down the busy main street, the early spring sun warming their backs. Meanwhile, the Jewell family trailed behind at a not-so-subtle distance. They tried be discreet, but their anxious glances and hushed
Chapter 752 He was completely frazzled, practically losing his mind. Now that they’d finally found Calliope, everyone instinctively let out a sigh of relief. They all knew Calliope was the one who could untangle this mess. But now, no one was sure what her attitude would be. “I’m on vacation,”
Chapter 751 Being ignored never feels great. Especially for people like Monty and his crew, who care a lot about appearances. When they realized Calliope wasn’t giving them the time of day, they were clearly stung. It got even worse for them when they saw Calliope and her friends heading
