Chapter 210 “That Calliope, huh? She’s got quite the reputation. Rumor has it she didn’t even finish school before getting expelled. No degree, no decent job, and when she tried working for the Jewell Group, they kicked her out p> “Let’s drop it, okay? Mr. Myers must have his reasons.
Chapter 209 Calliope met the group with a polite nod, but it was pretty clear they all looked down on her. She didn’t really care, though. After a quick chat with Silas, she headed back to the CEO office. And Silas stayed behind in the conference room. He scanned the
Chapter 208 Kelda was tidying up, her mind spinning with disbelief. Silas had been into this Calliope for a while now? Why her, of all people? But if Silas liked her, who could really stop him? Kelda had been by Silas’s side for so long, and he always saw her
Chapter 207 “Yeah, Mr. Myers values his wife,” Fagan remarked, glancing at Kelda. Despite her feisty nature, Kelda was straightforward and generally kind-hearted. So, Fagan offered a bit of advice. “Miss Kelda, what you did earlier was right. When you make a mistake, own up to it immediately and apologize.
Chapter 206 “Silas-” Kelda carefully got to her feet. “Are you going to come clean, or should I dig up the truth and show you the door?” Silas looked at Kelda with a steady gaze. “I know my wife well enough. She wouldn’t do anything to you. It’s you who’s
Chapter 205 Calliope stared at the woman in disbelief. She had anticipated that she might have some criticisms but hadn’t expected such outlandish fabrications. She glanced over at Silas for a moment. She wasn’t quite sure who this woman was, but she seemed to be someone of importance, probably a
Chapter 204 If someone could act like this without a grudge, it meant she might be secretly in love with Silas. Working so closely with Silas, constantly targeting her, his wife, it’s almost a dead giveaway that she’s into him. “You might not know me, but I sure know you!”
Chapter 203 “No, I haven’t,” Calliope replied, momentarily stunned. It suddenly dawned on her that she dressed rather casually. Her outfit was designer, but it was understated enough that the average person wouldn’t recognize its value at a glance. The receptionist must have judged her by the simplicity of her
Chapter 202 In the diner, Big Guy and the others were extremely grateful. They started to try on the gifts one by one. There was a shiny watch, a sleek helmet, and a dapper tie, each more expensive than the last. They were worth thousands if not tens of thousands,
Chapter 201 “What kind of shady methods do you think I’m using to make money?” Calliope let out a sarcastic chuckle. “Did Lisette say I’m a gold digger or a homewrecker? She’s got a knack for spreading rumors p> “Don’t you dare slander Lisette!” Valerian snapped, flaring up. “Lisette’s always
Chapter 200 “Yeah, it’s not right to throw them away. Just give them back to Calliope,” Valerian nodded. “But it’s just a photo, not proof of anything!” Lisette frowned, trying to defend Calliope. “Don’t get the wrong idea about her. She might not be as bad as you think p>
Chapter 199 “What?” Horatio and the others turned their heads simultaneously toward Lisette. Lisette’s reaction was intense, looking like she knew something they didn’t. “I can’t say!” Lisette blurted out, shaking her head vigorously at Horatio and the others, quickly sealing her lips shut. “What do you know?” Zelda asked
Chapter 198 But deep down, Horatio knew his legs were acting up again, time and time. At first, he thought his imagination might be playing tricks on him. But as the sensation grew stronger each time, he realized it was neither a figment of his imagination nor just a mental
Chapter 197 Horatio struggled, his hand gripping the doorframe as he tried to stand up, but it was like his legs had vanished. “Horatio, what’s happening to you?” Valerian rushed over, trying to help him up, but Horatio was too heavy for him to lift. “What’s going on?” Ulysses asked,
Chapter 196 As Valerian chatted away, he absentmindedly pulled the helmet from the box. But as he unwrapped the packaging, he was utterly dumbfounded. The helmet bore a signature-one he immediately recognized. It was sleek and high-quality, from a brand that he knew well, and the signature belonged to a
Chapter 195 Valerian and Ulysses quickly discovered that there was a letter tucked beneath their packages as well. Each of them retrieved their respective letters and took a quick glance. After reading, all three of them wore expressions that could curdle milk. “What’s up?” Lisette asked, “What has Callie said
Chapter 194 “You’ve wasted way too much time because of them,” Portia grumbled, her voice dripping with disdain. “You should’ve cut ties with them ages ago. The Jewell family is not worth it p> Calliope and Portia headed home together. Meanwhile, after spending some time at the pub, the Jewell
Chapter 193 Valerian and his brothers were left dumbfounded, standing there silently. “Callie, if you regret it, say so. There’s no need to pretend,” Lisette said softly. “Even if you’ve been harsh, you’re still part of the Jewell family p> “Harsh?” Calliope glanced at Lisette. “And who asked for your
Chapter 192 Gideon stood there, not saying a word, his eyes fixed on Calliope like he was trying to see through her. But Calliope couldn’t care less about what Gideon thought. “I’m not in the mood for drinks anymore. How about we head back?” Calliope suggested to Portia. “Sounds good
Chapter 191 “Gideon, don’t you dare push it too far!” Portia spat out through gritted teeth, glaring at him. Gideon didn’t bother with a reply. Instead, he fixed his eyes on Calliope, sending a clear message – he wanted her to beg him for help. He was well aware that
