Chapter 333
Calliope raised an eyebrow. "You want to partner with the Myers Group?"
"Who wouldn't?" Soren chuckled. "With your husband being Silas, you could help, right?"
"Soren, give it a rest," someone interrupted. "She's barely hanging on herself, and you want her to help you?
That's a joke!"
"Yeah. Who knows what Calliope's relationship with Silas is like?"
"Do we even need to guess? It's probably terrible!"
"The esteemed Mr. Myers wouldn't tolerate having such a scandalous wife!"
"Calliope's likely to get kicked out soon enough!"
"| think so too. A woman with her reputation? Everyone would steer clear. No man wants his wife to cheat on
him!"

"Poor Mr. Myers."
The crowd buzzed with mocking whispers, taking jabs at Calliope.
Calliope heard it all but didn't bother to argue.
Soren glanced at her. "So, it's like that, huh? Calliope, things aren't great between you and Mr. Myers, huh? Oh,
right, | heard he's never taken you to any gatherings or events... If he cared about his wife, she'd attend every
occasion with him."
"Forget it. It seems | asked the wrong person."
With that, Soren turned and left.
People around chuckled softly, swith a hint of pity in their eyes.

Calliope died down as her unruffled demeanor made them
uncomfortable to continue. Before long, nobody talked about Calliope anymore.
Lisette clenched her teeth and suddenly stood up with a glass of wine.
"Lisette, what's up?" someone asked, noticing her sudden movement.
"I need to have a word with Calliope," Lisette declared. "She may be ignoring sissues, but | can't."
"What's wrong?" another asked, surprised.
"It's about my family," Lisette said, lowering her gaze. "I can't avoid this, even if it means facing consequences."
"Is something wrong at home?" A few classmates looked at her with concern.
"But if you're going to Calliope, she probably won't even acknowledge you."
"She's a bit of an enigma, isn't she? And a little scary-she doesn't hold back." Lisette shook her head and
