Two days later, it was tfor the dinner meeting. Monty suddenly remembered the client was eager to meet
Calliope.
As Monty got ready for the evening, he turned to Valerian while adjusting his tie. “Valerian, | told you guys to
apologize to Callie and ask her to join us tonight for the dinner meeting. Did you talk to her?”
The clock was ticking, and Calliope was nowhere to be seen. The client had specifically requested her presence,
which was unusual since Calliope had never been in the family’s business dealings. It was the first tanyone
had expressed interest in meeting her.

Even though Calliope had thrown a fit and claimed she had nothing more to do with the Jewell family, Monty
believed she wasn’t the type to sever ties completely. After all, they were her biological parents. It made no
sense for her to cut them off entirely. Surely, given the chance, she'd want to mend things.
Valerian exchanged a glance with Horatio. Neither had approached Calliope, as they doubted she'd make a
feared her involvement could mess up the meeting, and it seemed safer
good impression on the client. The o
not to involve her.
“Dad, why not have Lisette step in?” Valerian suggested. “Calliope isn’t exactly known for her conversational
skills. What if she upsets the client? You know how unpredictable her temper can be.”
“On the contrary, Lisette is polite, confident, and familiar with the business. She'll hit it off with the client. Once
they meet Lisette, they won't want to see Calliope.”
Monty nodded in agreement as he finished with his tie. Calliope was notorious for struggling with even the
smallest company matters. If she were to inadvertently offend the client, the consequences would fall squarely
on him. It was better to send Lisette, who was equally his daughter and more capable than Callie.
“But isn’t Lisette injured?” Monty asked, a hint of concern in his voice.
“Her injury is just an arm, nothing serious,” Valerian reassured. “She can still get around fine. | talked to her
about it, and she’s happy to help. Calliope, on the other hand, might not have been so willing.”

Monty nodded. “True. Callie’s temperament is always unpredictable.”
Valerian grabbed the car keys. “I'll drive you there. We'll pick up Lisette on the way.”
“Sounds good,” Monty agreed without hesitation.
In their eyes, Lisette was indeed the better choice. Her presence would likely benefit the meeting more than
Calliope’s ever could. The client might have been curious about Calliope initially, but once charmed by Lisette,
who would care who they originally wanted to meet?
Soon, Monty and Valerian hopped into the car and headed to the hospital to fetch Lisette. Despite her injury,
Lisette had made an effort to dress up, looking sharp and professional as always.
“Lisette, you look fantastic. You'll make quite an impression tonight,” Monty complimented, feeling proud.
“Absolutely,” Valerian chimed in. “Lisette’s our lucky charm. She'll bring us good fortune.”
