“No way—are you saying she scammed them out of a ton of money, but they never even spent a dime on her?”
“That can’t be right. The Jewell family must all have been conned!”
A chorus of murmurs swept through the crowd.
Monty was starting to sweat. He looked nervously at Zelda and pressed, “Come on, show them! Didn’t you buy her clothes? Pay her tuition?”
Zelda’s face was tight. “No, I didn’t!”
With all those eyes on her, she didn’t dare lie.
She had no proof.
“What?” Monty gaped. “Every year on her birthday, didn’t you buy her something? You got presents for Lisette—weren’t you supposed to do the same for her? And that tuition money—didn’t I tell you to pay it?”
Zelda’s expression soured even more. “I can’t remember. I always forget these things!”
“And besides, whenever I was out getting clothes for Lisette, she’d be off somewhere. I don’t remember ever getting her anything!”
Zelda huffed, clearly annoyed.
“It’s not that I’d disappear. It’s that you only ever cared about Lisette. You never even looked my way,” came the quiet reply.
“When I went with you, you said I was an embarrassment and made me wait outside.”
“And when you promised to get me something, you’d walk out with bags and bags for Lisette—always forgetting about me.”
“I mean, I stopped caring. But if the real Calliope was here, she’d probably be crushed. You treated your adopted daughter a thousand times better than your own flesh and blood.”
People in the audience gasped, unable to hide their shock.
“They didn’t even know she wasn’t their real daughter, and this is how they treated her?”
“Oh my God. Even thinking she was their own, they only bought clothes for the adopted daughter? The real Calliope must’ve been heartbroken!”

Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
