Chapter 590 Neil turned to Calliope, his voice warm with gratitude. “Callie, I know you barely had a bite to eat before jumping in to help us. Really, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have been this lucky p> Without Calliope, there was no doubt
Chapter 589 Calliope knew that if she just walked away, the folks from Ivory Town would probably keep making trouble for Oxcreek Town. So, she made sure to say what she needed to, right there in front of everyone from Ivory Town. “Oh, by the way,” she said, flashing a
Chapter 588 Jacob had gotten pretty banged up-cuts and bruises everywhere, honestly kind of scary to look at. Thankfully, nothing was too serious, just some scrapes and surface wounds. She patched Jacob up as best she could, then told Ryan to get him home and let him rest. After that,
Chapter 587 “Who the heck are you guys, anyway p> The folks from Ivory Town eyed Calliope and Silas with open suspicion, arms crossed and brows furrowed. Nobody here was looking to make friends. “They’re not tourists, are they p> “Tourists don’t get a say around here, that’s for sure
Chapter 586 “You guys go ahead and eat here. We’ll take care of this ourselves,” someone said, waving a hand dismissively. “Yeah, let a couple people stay with Callie and Silas, and the rest of us will go talk things out with the folks from Ivory Town,” another chimed in.
Chapter 585 “Uh, n-no, it’s nothing!” Ryan stammered, quickly shaking his head. He tried to smile at Calliope, but it was the kind of forced, crooked grin that pretty much screamed something’s up. Calliope saw right through him. She knew Ryan too well-when he got anxious, his eyes darted everywhere,
Chapter 584 “Yeah, now that Kermit’s gone, it’s only right we look out for Callie p> “She’s like a daughter to us p> “Honestly, she is family p> Everyone chimed in, crowding around Calliope and Silas, making it clear they’d stand up for her no matter what. They weren’t just
Chapter 583 After paying their respects to Kermit, Calliope and Silas made their way back to the old family house. The place was still packed with stuff, including some belongings from Calliope’s three brothers. Calliope texted her brothers to let them know she’d be sorting through their things, since they
Chapter 582 “This room’s not out of style yet, is it p> Calliope glanced around her bedroom. It wasn’t huge, but everything in it was top- notch. From the plush mattress to the softest throw blankets and the latest gadgets-laptop, TV, you name it-she always had the best. Ever since
Chapter 581 Calliope and Silas arrived at the old house in no time. It wasn’t a mansion, but it was big-sprawling, really-with a huge yard out front. Just looking at it, you could tell the family had done well for themselves. Calliope hadn’t been back in years. Ever since Grandpa
Chapter 580 Meanwhile, Calliope finally had a little time for herself. With the holidays coming up, she decided it was time to head out to the countryside and sort out some things with her old family house. Silas had offered to go with her, and of course he was happy
Chapter 579 Yvette’s mess had been the hot topic in the family group chat for days. Gideon and Fleur were mortified. They didn’t dare show their faces around the rest of the Baker clan. Every time they bumped into someone, the whispers started up again. Yvette knew it was over
Chapter 578 Gideon was losing his mind. He had thought Yvette was just messing around, trying to stir the pot a bit. He never imagined she’d go this far, causing such a scene, and now everyone knew about it. Forget about how Silas would react; Calliope definitely wasn’t going to
Chapter 577 Gideon was still stuck in the hospital. His legs weren’t working, so he’d been pretty much glued to the bed. And since Yvette flat-out refused to take care of him, he was left with just the nurses and orderlies to help out. One afternoon, as he lay there
Chapter 576 The stand-in had already unlocked the hotel room door. He knew Silas so well by now that he could copy his every move, right down to the way he walked and talked. It was almost creepy how perfect the imitation was. Of course, no one in the livestream
Chapter 575 Calliope glanced at Silas, raising an eyebrow. “So, who exactly are you planning to livestream this to p> Silas smirked, his lips curling up. “The family group chat, of course. There’s a ton of people in there, aren’t there? If she’s not embarrassed by her own behavior, let
Chapter 574 He was clearly a bit uneasy, worried she might not believe him. Honestly, Calliope found it kind of funny. “Relax,” she said, grinning. “I don’t think your taste is that questionable p> No matter how hard Yvette tried, there was just no way Silas would ever be interested
Chapter 573 Calliope and Silas grabbed dinner together at a cozy downtown diner. Over burgers and fries, their conversation inevitably turned to Yvette and whatever scheme she might be cooking up. “So, from the way she’s acting, it looks like she’s dead set on having you, huh?” Calliope teased, a
Chapter 572 Silas didn’t really think she’d gone out of her way just to see Gideon. Still, he couldn’t help feeling a little bothered that Calliope had run into Gideon at all. “I did see Gideon.” Calliope grinned, her tone teasing. “Would you believe me if I said it wasn’t
Chapter 571 “I’m gonna kick Calliope out and get with Silas myself, just you watch!” Yvette shot Gideon a smug look as she spoke, practically glowing with confidence. “Gideon, relax. If I ever hit it big, I’ll remember to thank you. If it wasn’t for you being my stepping stone,
