Chapter 688 Mavis was probably getting ready to come out. Things had gone quiet on her end. Calliope chatted with Portia for a while, and they made plans for Portia to come over and hang out after dinner. As they talked, Calliope noticed that Archie Yoder had gone completely silent
Chapter 687 Calliope was home before anyone even noticed she’d been gone.

Chapter 685 Blythe’s gaze was sharp and heavy as she stared at Calliope. She couldn’t believe how crude this woman was, the way she spoke so bluntly, with not a hint of manners. Blythe had expected Calliope to back off the moment she saw her. After all, Blythe was the
Chapter 684 “You wanna argue with me? Honey, you don’t stand a chance!” Calliope shot Oliver a look and said, “Honestly, I don’t know what you want from me, but I’m here to tell you off, plain and simple p> “Old man, quit dreaming. Silas isn’t coming back to you!

Chapter 679 It was Ulysses’ idea to go see a movie. He’d thought Calliope and her group had already left town, so running into them at the theater was the last thing he expected. Even from across the theater, with just their silhouettes against the flickering screen, Calliope’s group had
Chapter 678 Horatio glanced at Lisette and said, “Hey, this isn’t your fault p> Ulysses gave her a quick, indifferent look. “Yeah, you’re not to blame for any of this p> Lisette let out a small sigh of relief. At least they weren’t holding it against her. But as her
Chapter 677 “These styles are just awful. Let’s try somewhere else,” Valerian said, picking up on the awkward atmosphere and quickly steering Lisette away.

Chapter 676 Valerian was fuming, his jaw clenched as he shot back, “Don’t look down on me like I’m some nobody. Do you have any idea how much money I actually have? Sure, maybe I don’t make a fortune at the office, but does that mean I can’t have other
Chapter 675 Valerian and his group didn’t look too pleased after hearing what Julius and the others had said. Lisette’s expression wasn’t any better, either. She could see it clearly now- Calliope didn’t even have to say what she wanted. If she so much as glanced at something, one of

Chapter 672 When he was a kid, Ulysses only liked Calliope for a short while. But honestly, he didn’t know what Calliope was like when she was just a baby—when she crawled around with a bottle in her mouth, babbling “brother” in her tiny voice. He never knew what it
Chapter 671 “How about a little sibling love, huh? Is it really so outrageous to give up the private room for your brothers p> Valerian shot Calliope a look, clearly annoyed. “It’s absolutely outrageous.” Calliope didn’t even hesitate. She breezed past him right into the room, pulled out a chair,
