Chapter 870
"She's pregnant with Valerian's baby, isn't she?"
"Ugh, seriously? She kept calling him 'brother' and then ended up in his bed? That's just disgusting!"
Portia couldn't help but scoff, spitting on the ground in disgust.
"I'll have someone look into it," Mavis said. "If this person ends up claiming it was skind of revenge against
society, it'll be tough for the police to get to the bottom of it. We'll just have to handle it ourselves."
Calliope nodded, "Thanks, Mavis. | owe you one!"
"No big deal."
"Oh, by the way, | can't join you guys for dinner tonight," Calliope said to Portia and Mavis. "Eamon invited us
over for dinner at the old place, so | have to go."
"It's fine! Mavis and | can just eat together," Portia said, looping her arm through Mavis's.
"Alright then."
Calliope gave a small nod.
That evening, Calliope returned to the Baker family hwith Silas in tow.
When they arrived, they realized Grandpa had called everyone over. Gideon Baker's family was there, along with
the other branches- the old house was bustling and lively.

blew up.
As soon as she walked through the door, Verity rushed over, grabbing her hand and fussing over her like a
worried hen.
"Callie, you were just the sweetest little thing growing up! My heart breaks for you."
"I saw those videos and everything. | can't believe the Jewells treated you like that all these years!"
"They were way out of line. If I'd known, | would've marched right up there at that press conference and backed
you up!"
"| could've told Zelda off for you-really, given her a piece of my mind!"
"That Zelda's a real piece of work," Verity huffed.
"Seriously, the Jewells are just awful!" Calista Baker frowned. "Calliope, are you okay?"
"How could she be okay?" Dahlia Baker chimed in. "She always thought of them as family, and they treated her
like that. That must've hurt."
Calliope forced a little smile. "I'm fine, really. | stopped thinking of them as family a long tago. You guys are
my family now, aren't you?"
"Of course we are! We'll always be your family!"
"Absolutely, Callie. Don't you ever forget that!" Verity said warmly, squeezing Calliope's hand. "And if you ever
need to talkor need help with anything, you can always count on us!" s
Calliope smiled, nodding.
"Oh, and Callie—I've seen all sorts of things about you online. Are you really that amazing?"
"How do you know how to do everything?" Verity asked, eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"| just like to dabble," Calliope replied with a laugh. "I try a lot of things but I'm not really an expert at anything."

Calliope raised an eyebrow at Verity, looking a little incredulous.
"I mean it!" Verity thumped her chest. "The more | see, the more | adore you!"
"Don't worry, I'm nothing like those idiots from the Jewell family!"
Verity paused, then added, "You
