The evidence was laid out one by one, and anyone with half a brain could see the truth: Calliope's misery was all tangled up with Lisette.
"That Lisette, pretending to pity poor Portia, but she’s the real snake!"
"Can you believe an adopted daughter would turn a real family against each other like that?"
"Calliope’s life is a mess, and it’s all her fault, isn’t it?"
"Geez, how can someone be so damn cruel?"
The crowd buzzed, each person throwing in their own jab. Lisette was getting absolutely trashed, and she clutched her head, desperate to escape—but there was nowhere to run.
"Look, say what you want, but I’m my dad’s son. His assets are supposed to be mine!" Monty finally blurted out, trying to sound confident. "Isn’t that just how it works?"
"Did you ever care about your old man when he was alive?" someone shot back. "Did you ever help him, or even visit? What gives you the right to demand his money now?"
Monty choked on his words, his face turning a mottled red.
"Oh, so you ignore your dad while he’s living and only care about his will once he’s gone?"
"Yeah, was he only your father after he died?"
The crowd snickered and jeered at Monty, each barb sharper than the last.
Monty could only grit his teeth in silence.
"You’re all so focused on the money, huh?" Calliope turned to face Monty, voice steady. "Well, there’s not much left. Grandpa didn’t leave a fortune, and a big chunk of what he did leave, I donated—just like he asked me to."
Monty's jaw clenched in frustration.
"And those places you all think are his—those clubs, those companies? They’re mine now. Most of the rest? My brothers gave me those."
"And let’s not forget, some of it belongs to my husband," she added with a sly tilt of her head. "So what is it, Monty, you want my brothers’ money, my husband’s, too? Think you can just take whatever you like?"
"Is that so? Who wants my assets? Maybe I should just toss myself into the deal too?" A cold voice cut through the tension.

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......
