Chapter 440
They didn't know that she owned companies in various industries. She had never shared any of this with them,
nor had she ever boasted about her capabilities.
Though they were so familiar with her, there was an undeniable sense of strangeness.
Calliope had always been the little sister who listened, who followed their lead. But things had changed. She no
longer sought their approval, choosing instead to forge her own path. She tended to discard their love and
accept other brothers’, her affection towards them lost.
Valerian watched her with a complex mixture of emotions, aware of his own mistakes but struggling to admit
them. He wanted things to go back to the way they were, yet every the tried, he ended up defending
Lisette, inadvertently hurting Calliope in the process.
Though he knew his actions were wrong, he couldn't shake the feeling that she should understand. She should
love them. They were her real brothers; what did she have to worry about? Lisette was the one who truly had no
one to care for her.

Calliope swept a look at Monty. "Are you sure? Don't you feel I'm an eyesore?
Won't | just ruin your cozy family dinners?"
"Why would you say that? Of course
l.ne

She shrugged noncommittally. "We'll see."
Not wanting to push her further in case she got irked, Monty quickly moved to

He recalled the times she had selflessly supported him, and how he had let his attention drift because of Lisette.
