NovelEnglishChapter 309
"Ulysses, what happened to your foot? It's swollen like a balloon!"
Zelda's eyes widened with shock as she looked at Ulysses. She glanced back at his face, which was usually his
pride and joy. Among her kids, Ulysses was the most handsand the one who had ventured into the
entertainment industry. He took great care of himself, especially his face, which he considered his most valuable
asset.
But right now, half of his face was so puffy he looked like he'd been in a brawl. Zelda might not have recognized
him if the other side of his face hadn't remained untouched.
Her emotions were a whirlwind of concern and anger. "Who did this to you, son? Who had the nerve to mess with
you like this? Are they out of their minds?"
Ulysses' expression was a mix of frustration and helplessness. It wasn't just the humiliation of being attacked; it
was the inability to retaliate that gnawed at him.

If it were just Calliope, he wouldn't have been worried. But she had a tiger, a wolf, and Silas by her side. There
was nothing they could do but swallow their pride and chome.
His resentment toward Calliope was growing. Once, he considered Calliope his little sister, annoying but family
nonetheless. He never wished anything bad for her. Now, he wished Silas would leave Calliope and her life
becas miserable as she made his.
"It was Calliope!" Ulysses groaned, sinking into the couch. He glanced at his swollen foot and couldn't help but
gingerly touch his face. "Mom, how bad is it?"
He hadn't dared to look in a mirror since he got back. His face felt like it was on fire, and he feared what he
might see.
But he couldn't avoid it forever. If his face was really messed up, how could he keep acting? He had a full
schedule with a reality show, two films, and a commercial lined up. There was no tfor a break.
"Your face... it's swollen," Zelda replied, her voice heavy with concern. "You mentioned Calliope. What did she do
this time?"
"Did she cause all this mess?"
Zelda's temper flared. "That girl has been nothing but trouble for this
family. How could she do this to
you?"
Ulysses said nothing, limping to the bathroom. When he finally faced the mirror, his scream echoed.
"My face!"
Staring back at him was a stranger with a face twice its usual size. He had thought it was only a bit swollen, but
it was a disaster.

The thought of missing out made Ulysses furious. He slammed his fist against the counter. "Calliope, that
jinx! She's ruined everyo
If he didn't get the role, it would be all her fault.
"Don't worry, honey," Zelda rushed in. "I've called the doctor. They'll help with the swelling on your face and
treat your foot."
"But even treatment takes time. How long is this going to setback?" Ulysses groaned.
