NovelEnglishChapter 316
Since Lisette first cto the Jewell family, she couldn’t stand Calliope. It was as if Calliope had everything
handed to her on a silver platter while she had to claw her way up from the bottom.
Back then, she was a shadow of herself timid and insecure, always afraid to accept the kindness of the Jewell
family. She constantly wanted to prove herself, often helping with chores, desperate for approval.
But Calliope was different. She was the apple of everyone's eye, adored by her brothers and showered with love
and kindness. How they doted on Calliope made her green with envy.
She wanted to snatch all of that for herself, especially after overhearing the maids gossiping.
They'd say she didn’t fit the image of a proper lady, that you could tell she cfrom humble beginnings. A true
lady, they said, was like Calliope-graceful, taking everything in stride without the need to prove her worth by
doing odd jobs.

Those words pierced her heart like nails.
She began to covet everything Calliope had. And she noticed that if she played the part of the reluctant girl who
admired yet didn’t dare to ask, they would give her Calliope’s things anyway. They'd say Calliope had enough,
while she had nothing and deserved skindness.
Later, she learned that by feigning obedience, she could provoke Calliope into losing her temper, and the family
would then rally around the more “well-behaved” her.
Then cthe rumor that Calliope was a jinx. It delighted Lisette even more. Calliope was the cursed one, while
she was the lucky charm. Naturally, they treated her better.
She wished Calliope would vanish so she could bask in the family’s undivided love. But Calliope lingered, despite
being bullied so cruelly. She continued to cherish her brothers and go out of her way to support them.
That only fueled her jealousy. Calliope seemed to flourish no matter the adversity, blooming into something -
beautiful.
The brighter Calliope shone, the darker Lisette seemed. She wanted to snatch everything away from Calliope,
crush her, and see if she could drag Calliope down to her level. Would she still hold that innate pride, or
crumble like she hoped?
Why was fate so unfair?
She had thought that by orchestrating Yvette to steal Gideon, Calliope would finally break. Yet, Silas had pulled
her back from the brink!
Calliope should have been miserable. Instead, she seemed to thrive after leaving the Jewell family!
Why?!
Did that mean all her efforts over the years were for nothing?

No, she wouldn't let that happen. This time, she was determined to tarnish Calliope’s reputation, to turn the
world against her until no one loves her anymore.
Lisette turned on her heel and left the hotel.
Unaware, Calliope stood hesitantly outside Dante’s door, her finger hovering over the doorbell bedre finally
pressing it.
Meanwhile, at the Myers Group, Silas glanced at the message on his phone. It was a photo of Calliope and Dante,
their eyes locked, Dante's eyes brimming with emotion.
“She went to see him? They truly know each other?”
