A few sharp words from Calliope, and suddenly the room full of journalists and onlookers looked like they’d just bitten into a lemon.
Just minutes ago, everyone had been squarely on the Jewell family’s side. Honestly, most folks thought Calliope had gone too far, that she was some kind of con artist pulling a fast one.
But what if that wasn’t the truth? What if the Jewell family was just using everyone as pawns?
I mean, if the family really had ironclad evidence, they could do what Calliope suggested and go straight to court, right? But they didn’t. Instead, they called a press conference and put on a show for the cameras.
And come to think of it, not a single shred of proof had been shown. Nothing. Just a lot of tearful words and sad faces, acting like they were the victims. But where was the evidence?
There wasn’t any. Not a damn thing.
“Everybody heard that, right? The Jewell family’s got nothing! You’re all being played!” Portia called out from the crowd, her voice dripping with sarcasm and mock sympathy.
“Man, I almost feel sorry for you guys. The Jewell family’s treating you all like circus monkeys!”
“What, do they think you’re that easy to fool?”
“Come on, we’re all seasoned reporters here! We’re supposed to chase the real story, not just swallow whatever sob story the Jewells are selling!”
“Seriously, the Jewell family sure knows how to work the media. If you’re not thinking for yourself, you’re just letting them pull your strings!”
Portia’s tone bounced between teasing, scornful, and almost pitying, and it left everyone in the room feeling pretty uncomfortable.
The truth was, the Jewell family really did know how to tug on heartstrings. Watching them up there, sniffling into their tissues, you couldn’t help but feel sorry for them.
But were they really as pitiful as they seemed?

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 !!!...
