TimeNovelChapter 863
"But honestly, | think Ulysses isn't so bad. Didn't he at least try to defend Calliope?"
"Yeah, | guess he's the only one who seems halfway decent. At least he admitted he messed up and looks like
he's actually reflecting on it!"
"Right, unlike the rest of them, who won't even acknowledge they did anything wrong!"
"That family's got a heart as cold as a block of ice, | swear. It's scary."
"Thank goodness it's Calliope and not their real daughter from before!"
"Can you imagine if their actual daughter had survived? If she wasn't as tough as Calliope, just think of how
badly she would've been bullied!"
"It's heartbreaking."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"My heart goes out to that little baby girl who passed away right after she was born."
"Maybe it was a blessing in disguise. If she'd stayed, she'd probably just have been treated like a scapegoat for
the whole family."
Reporters and fans alike were buzzing with gossip and heated whispers.
Now that it was all over, Calliope looked over at Monty and the others. "Anything left to say? If you've got
something, spit it out now. Otherwise, we're done here- for good."
Her cool gaze swept right through Monty's group like she was looking at strangers, not a flicker of emotion on
her face.
Monty and his crew were speechless, shwritten all over them.
Even if they wanted to speak up, nobody would have cared what they had to say anymore.
"Nothing? No last words?" Calliope said flatly. "Then let's make this clear: don't ever try to leech off my name
again. If you do, I'll call the cops."
With that, she turned to Silas and the others. "Honey, guys, let's go."
"Callie, I'm sorry! | know | was wrong!" Monty suddenly realized the gravity of the situation and rushed forward,
trying to drop to his knees in apology.
Calliope stopped him cold, kicking a chair in front of him to block the pathetic gesture.
"Callie, after all those years in our house, don't you have any feelings left at all?”
"All those years, we always treated you like our own daughter... loved you like family..."
"Sure, now we know there's no blood relation, but isn't it a bit harsh to cut us off? mean even if you raise a pet
you end up with sfeelings right? And we're all human here." s
"Callie, I'm still your father!"
Monty's words made the whole room freeze in shock.
Nobody had ever seen someone this shameless before.
Just moments ago, he was calling her a fraud, claiming she had nothing to do with the Jewell family. Now, he was
trying to apologize on his knees, acting like they shared sdeep bond? What a joke. s
No feelings a second ago, and now suddenly he's overwhelmed with sentiment?
"Your emotions sure cand go fast," Calliope replied coolly. "Never seen a father 'love' his daughter quite like
you did."
"What, you enjoyed making my life hell? Picking on 'weak little Callie’ made you feel good?"
"Mr. Jewell, there's shameless, and then there's... whatever you are. I've seen brick walls with more dignity."
She brushed past Monty without a backward glance.
