Chapter 530 “Yeah, I did it on purpose,” Calliope said, her lips curling into a smirk that practically screamed, “I dare you to get mad p> Lisette’s face went from annoyed to downright stormy. She hadn’t expected Calliope to just admit it like it was nothing. Calliope tilted her head,

Chapter 529 Calliope gave Monty a quick rundown of Horatio’s treatment plan. Halfway through their conversation, Horatio and Valerian came in together. They listened as Calliope explained the details. “The odds are definitely in our favor,” Calliope said, her face serious, “but there’s always a chance of minor complications. I

Chapter 528 Everyone’s eyes were glued to Lisette. Lisette frowned, caught off guard. She hadn’t expected Calliope to figure it out so quickly. Calliope knew she was faking. Still, she stubbornly tried to pin it on Calliope. “Well, if Callie didn’t take it, who did? The necklace is actually missing

Chapter 527 Lisette knew she was in trouble. After what Calliope just said, she didn’t even know how to argue her way out of it. Zelda was at a loss for words too, her face turning red with frustration. She snapped, “You’re saying she took your stuff before, but you

Chapter 526 “No way. We have to get it back!” Zelda was fuming, practically stomping her foot. “She’s getting worse every day, seriously. I never agreed with her taking your stuff. Your father and the others are just too spineless! That’s exactly why that harpy can walk all over them

Chapter 525 Lisette paced around her bedroom, her mind racing with thoughts she kept carefully hidden behind a calm, pleasant face. Out loud, she even found herself saying nice things about Calliope to Zelda, trying to keep the peace. But the more Lisette talked up Calliope, the more Zelda’s opinion

Chapter 524 She’s already married to Silas. Her life should be pretty sweet right about now, but apparently that’s not enough for her. Now she wants everything the Jewell family has. Lisette sat at the dining table, her expression frosty as she mulled it all over. Dinner was a little

Chapter 523 In the dining room. Zelda sat right next to Lisette, piling her plate high with all her favorite dishes- roast chicken, cheesy mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, you name it. Monty shot Zelda a sharp look from across the table, then nudged her gently, trying to get her

Chapter 522 Of course, they showered her with kindness and everything money could buy, desperate to prove she wasn’t just the adopted kid. They bent over backwards, trying to give her the world. They never wanted her to feel like an outsider, so whatever she asked for, they’d make it

Chapter 521 “Lisette, since you brought it up, we’ll just be honest with you,” Horatio said, not bothering to sugarcoat it. “Yeah, we’ve already moved your stuff into the smaller room. We thought you’d put up a fight, honestly. Didn’t expect you to go along with it so easily. That’s

Chapter 520 “Wait, Horatio still needs you to take care of him?” Calliope glanced at Lisette, her brow raised in surprise. Then she turned to her brother. “Horatio, is there something you need help with? Why didn’t you just tell me? I’m staying here for the next few days, so

Chapter 519 Calliope watched Zelda, her face blank as a sheet of paper-impossible to read, impossible to guess what was going on inside. But Zelda’s attitude toward her was nothing like the way she treated Lisette. Valerian and Horatio saw it too. That had to sting. Who doesn’t want their

Chapter 518 “What’s going on?” Lisette frowned at Valerian, a knot of anxiety tightening in her chest. Calliope, who had barely spoken to the family in months, was suddenly back. Not only was she here, but her attitude was… well, let’s just say she didn’t exactly seem humbled. If anything,

Chapter 517 When Lisette and the others got back, dinner was just about ready. Calliope was hanging out by the door, munching on a handful of pistachios, looking like she was watching her favorite soap opera unfold. Lisette trailed behind Horatio and the rest, her face lit up with a

Chapter 516 Zelda stared Calliope down, her tone icy. Her face was practically stormy; she couldn’t stand the sight of Calliope. The woman’s very presence grated on her nerves. Honestly, Zelda just wished Calliope would take the hint and leave, let the family have a peaceful evening together for once.

Chapter 515 Calliope couldn’t help but think back-she’d almost never fought back before. Maybe it was because her brothers had let her down so many times. Maybe because, deep down, she still hoped they’d change. Most of the time, she just went along with whatever they threw at her, hoping

Chapter 514 “I told you before, there’s no such thing as a hundred percent guarantee. But I’ll do my best. Things won’t get any worse than they are now p> She took a thoughtful bite of her cheesecake, her gaze distant. Valerian nodded, but he still looked like he had

Chapter 513 “Callie, don’t be upset, okay? Even after Lisette comes back, we’ll still treat you right,” Monty said, picking up on Calliope’s sour mood. He couldn’t help himself and called out, “Lisette’s back tomorrow. You should come over too! We’ll have a family dinner. Whatever you’re craving, just tell

Chapter 512 “Lance, hey, calm down. I swear, I haven’t lied to you.” Hudson’s voice was gentle. “This isn’t what I wanted either, but…it’s just how things are. Maybe I was always living on borrowed time p> “I mean, honestly, I’ve had a good run. Meeting you was the best

Chapter 511 Calliope was out of options. If there were any, she sure as hell wouldn’t be standing there in silence. Lance knew her if she had a plan, she’d be the first to tell him. She was the Miracle Doctor, after all. She’d fixed things before that no one
