Chapter 396 

Monty looked like he had just bitten into a lemon. Sure, I may not have showered you with allowances, but you turned out just fine, didn’t you?” 

And besides, aren’t you loaded now? I heard you’ve got a whole bunch of businesses, that fancy club is yours

isn’t it?” 

Calliope raised an eyebrow. And you think I thrived on thin air? My club, my businesses, you think they came from you?” 

Monty was at a loss for words

They gave you life, and that’s the greatest gift of all! Without our parents, you wouldn’t exist, nor would anything you have!Valerian chimed in, clearly frustrated, Calliope, you need to be grateful. Nothing in life is a given. Even if they didn’t raise you, your life is theirs. Are you going to give it back to them?” 

Did I ask them to bring me into this world?Calliope asked with a wry smile

Valerian spluttered, That’s just childish nonsense!” 

Calliope glanced into the room and made a quick gesture to Zachary

Zachary seemed to get the message and nodded

Once Calliope left the room, Monty and Valerian helped Horatio back into his wheelchair and followed her out

The corridor was quiet, almost eerily so

Calliope stood to the side, tilting her head as she looked at Monty and his entourage. So, did you bring this whole circus of reporters to put on a show? Planning to guilttrip me into helping you and use public opinion to back me into a corner? Your little scheme is pretty transparent.” 

Her words hit the nail on the head

Horatio and the others looked visibly uncomfortable

They had indeed planned exactly what she accused them of. But they hadn’t expected Calliope to be so sharp, to see through it all. Nor did they expect the reporters to lose interest and just ignore them

Calliope, stop being so unreasonable,” Valerian protested, denying everything. You’re just projecting your own negativity onto us!” 

Calliope just clapped her hands

Bravo

Callie, just help out the Jewell family,Monty pleaded, looking at Calliope with big, sad eyes. You know how bad things are for us. You don’t even have to do muchjust say a few words, spend some time with us. People will notice.” 

I don’t feel like it,Calliope replied icily

You-Monty was fuming

If you want my help, it’s simple: meet my previous conditions. Then, his legs, the Jewell family company, everything will be saved,Calliope said, nodding toward Monty

You-” 

Hand over the company for me to manage. Give me your position. I won’t touch anyone else’s job.Calliope continued, Lisette can stay too. Oh, and with one phone call, I can have your precious sister back. Really, you don’t want to take this offer?” 

Valerian seemed tempted by her words

12:32 

he looked at Monty, For Horatio, Lisette, and the company, maybe we should agree.” 

Calliope, you really won’t meddle with anyone else?” 

Not at all. Just give me his position,Calliope said, raising an eyebrow. So, what do you think? It’s a winwin.” 

Dad, let’s agree!Horatio chimed in, looking at Monty. It’s not just for my legs, but for Lisette and the company, we can’t just do nothing!”
