"I know | messed up, and I'm here to apologize!" Monty flashed a nervous smile at Calliope. "I know you've been

eyeing the shares in the company. How about | give you some?"

At the mention of shares, Calliope looked up, surprise flickering across her face. "You're willing to give me

shares? How much? Twenty percent?"

Monty froze at her bold request. Twenty percent? That was a hefty chunk he couldn't fathom parting with. After

all, Calliope hadn't contributed much to the company. Even though she was his flesh and blood, she hadn't even

matched the contributions of their adopted daughter. How could he justify such a large share?

"Uh, Callie, twenty is a bit steep. How about three percent?" he ventured cautiously.

"Do you realize," Calliope said, fixing Monty with a steady gaze, "that this kind of bargaining could get you

punched in the face? Would you take thirty if you were selling something for two hundred dollars?"

Monty squirmed. "Shares aren't like buying a shirt."

"Still doesn't work for me," Calliope shrugged. "Besides, you're here all apologetic, offering shares. You've got

sulterior motive, huh? What's the catch?"

Monty hadn't expected Calliope to be so sharp. He thought she would be easy to sway, maybe even naive. The

shares were something he didn't even plan on giving, considering her lack of involvement in the business. But

she saw right through him, understanding they needed her for something important.

"Callie, the company's in trouble," Monty admitted. "Lisette scared the Thorne family's young heir, and now

they're giving us grief. But that's not even the worst of it. One of our key clients, Mr. Lopez, insists on

meeting you, saying he's pulling out of our deal if you don't show."

"And losing him is catastrophic for us. Without him, the company could tank!"

Monty pleaded. "His departure spells disaster for us!"

"How is that my problem?" Calliope

replied, arching an eyebrow at Monty. "I got booted from the company, and I've left the Jewell, family behind.

Even if it crumbles, it's no skin off my nose. You're

losing a big client. Again, it's not my problem. It doesn't affectat all."

She leaned back casually, resting her chin on her hand. "Even if the Jewell family goes bankrupt, my life remains

unchanged. You guys don't givedividends or shares."

Monty frowned, trying to reason with her. "The Jewell family is still your family. Silas might be good to you now,

but who knows about the future? You should have a safety net. By helping the Jewell family, you'd secure support

for the future."

"And don't underestimate three percent. It's more than you think! Callie, all you have to do is show your face. Mr.

Lopez hasn't asked for anything else, just a simple meet and greet." Monty's eyes were hopeful, practically

begging her.

Calliope shook her head. "Showing up is one thing, but what if he turns out to be a creep? Even if | wanted to, my

husband might not be thrilled about it."

As Monty realized Calliope wasn't budging, he started to panic a little. He glanced at Horaand the others for

support.
