Chapter 550 “Cookies, fruit, soda, you name it. But Calliope never touches any of it p> “No way, seriously p> “For real! She just gives it all away. I was lucky enough to get something from her once, an insanely expensive chocolate cake p> “Yeah, me too! She gave me
Chapter 549 Calliope and Silas went out for breakfast at Essence Delight. Valerian tagged along too. He didn’t eat much, just picked at his eggs Benedict, but when the check came, he was the one who paid. It was only then that he realized how outrageously expensive the place was.
Chapter 548 “I never really liked any of this food before, you know. I only pretended to because everyone kept saying I did. Honestly, it’s like the real person who enjoys this stuff is someone else entirely p> Calliope shot a glance at Lisette. Lisette had been happily digging into
Chapter 547 Horatio had his doubts, but when he thought about it, Calliope had always been the kind to just quietly take whatever came her way from the family, without complaining. She really did care about them, maybe more than she let on. Sure, she could be a little prickly,
Chapter 546 Monty was feeling a bit uneasy. If he kept staying here, he wasn’t sure how much longer they could take it. It was only the first day, and already the pressure was sky-high. Everyone was walking on eggshells, terrified that one tiny slip-up would piss off Silas. Horatio
Chapter 545 Of course Lisette remembered exactly how she used to get under Calliope’s skin back in the day. But hearing Calliope’s words now? She felt her face flush green with embarrassment. She didn’t dare throw a tantrum, though. She understood perfectly well: if you were the favorite, you could
Chapter 544 Silas’s face darkened instantly. He looked downright annoyed. Monty shot Zelda a glare. “What on earth are you talking about, Zelda? That’s not your place to say! This is Callie’s home. It’s Silas’s home, too. They’re free to stay wherever they want, pick any room they like. Every
Chapter 543 Zelda hurried to explain to Silas, her words tumbling out. “When we took that family photo, Callie wasn’t there. She was running late. It’s totally her own fault, not that we tried to exclude her or anything p> “Oh, is that so? So… what, you just never take
Chapter 542 Everyone was even now. She was only sticking around at this point to annoy Lisette, nothing more. And then there was the company. The company was originally started by her grandfather. Calliope just couldn’t stand the thought of seeing his legacy fall into someone else’s hands. Even if
Chapter 541 “Franco, did you manage to track down that sports car I asked about?” Calliope asked, standing next to Franco by the elevator doors. Her second godbrother, Norton, was a total car enthusiast. He’d been talking about this particular model for ages, even before it hit the market. He’d
Chapter 540 “Is there really nothing else we can do?” Calliope still sounded a little unwilling to give up. “I’m afraid not,” someone replied. “From what you’ve described, using acupuncture to help with the pain and buy some time is already the best we can do. At this point, he
Chapter 539 Lisette’s eyes were rimmed red as she pleaded with Monty and the others. Suddenly, she dropped to her knees on the hardwood floor. “I’m not asking for forgiveness. This is all my fault. I know what I did was wrong, even if I just wanted to surprise everyone
Chapter 538 After flipping through the documents, Horatio’s expression darkened as he handed the folder over to Valerian. Both men read in silence, their faces growing more troubled with every line. Instinctively, they glanced at Monty. Monty just shrugged. “Honestly, I had no idea she’d do something like this. I
Chapter 537 “So, what’s it gonna be? Can you pay it back within a week? Or do you think jail time is the better deal p> Calliope had no intention of letting Lisette off the hook. She looked at her, lips curled in a cold, mocking smile. Lisette’s face turned
Chapter 536 “Dad p> Lisette’s voice was sharp as she pointed at the shiny new nameplate on the office door, her words catching in her throat. “Yeah?” Monty replied, barely glancing up from his coffee. “That’s right. The board signed off. All the execs are on board too p> Monty
Chapter 535 “Debby’s been fired p> The girl at the neighboring desk leaned over, her voice low but urgent. “She did some pretty shady stuff, not just spreading rumors and stirring the pot, but she was also skimming money from the company. Once they found out, she was gone p>
Chapter 534 It was the start of the workday, and plenty of employees were arriving at the company. After parking the car, Calliope and her group got out. A lot of people noticed them right away, and instinctively slowed their steps to watch. “Hey, isn’t that Calliope p> “No way-today
Chapter 533 Calliope started up her car, and somehow all three of them squeezed into her sedan. She didn’t bother protesting. If Lisette hadn’t been there, Calliope probably would’ve left them to fend for themselves, but with Lisette in tow, she almost enjoyed making her uncomfortable. They headed off toward
Chapter 532 “Do you really think everyone else is clueless? Did you have to ask something that obvious?” Calliope looked up, her fork halfway to her mouth. Lisette flushed. She was starting to feel more and more uncomfortable. It was like every time she opened her mouth, Calliope had a
Chapter 531 The next morning, when Calliope got out of bed, everyone else was already up. Monty spotted her right away and called out with a grin, “Hey, Callie! You’re finally up! Breakfast is ready! Come grab a plate p> Calliope nodded, making her way over to him. Horatio and
