Chapter 337
Lisette glanced up at Calliope, disbelief etched across her face.
"Are you out of your mind?" Horasnapped, his brow furrowed. "I don't need your help, Calliope! Lisette, get
up. I'll be fine. It's not like she's the only one who knows where the Miracle Doctor is. If we're willing to pay, we'll
find her eventually."
Horalooked at Calliope with an anger he'd never shown. Sitting in his wheelchair, he tried to help Lisette to
her feet.
He wished Calliope would spill the beans about the Miracle Doctor, but her demands were always so outrageous.
She really wasn't worth it.
Valerian was equally exasperated.
"Calliope, what's your problem? What did Lisette ever do to you? None of us like you, but it's not because of

everyone else? Givea break."
Valerian's face twisted into a cold smirk, his gaze growing more disdainful. Maybe when she first chome,
they kind of liked her. But over time, she just becmore insufferable.
She was so petty, vying with Lisette all the time. Didn't she know she should give Lisette a break?
Calliope looked at Valerian with a cold detachment. "I never asked for your approval, did 1? Who do you think you
are that I'd want your acceptance?"
Valerian's expression darkened.
"I've left the Jewell family. Can't you Jewells stop clinging tolike sticky gum? Do you really find it amusing to
keep harping on about this? When did | ever compete with her? Please, have | ever

bad-mouthed her? When did you seecompeting with her?
Calliope shrugged, feigning
innocence. "She knelt down of her own accord, didn't she? When you're asking for a favor, you should at least
act like it. If Lisette's asking me, can't | express my opinion? Wasn't it her choice? | didn't force her, did 1?"
Calliope cast a cursory glance at Lisette.
"Lisette, did I tell you to kneel? Did | ask you to beg me? If you're so obedient, what if | told you to jump off the
top floor? Would you do that?
If I told you to drink toilet water
no
would you do that? Lisette, I| idea you were so eager to follow my orders."
Lisette's face paled, fear creeping in that Calliope might actually make her drink

toilet water. She seemed just crazy enough.
"I-it was my decision to kneel." Lisette hung her head, looking thoroughly ashamed. "Calliope, I'm sorry. | didn't
know it would upset you. It's all my fault, okay? Blme for everything!"
Her eyes were red with tears.
Calliope tossed a pie into her mouth, shaking her head.
"No, you can't take the blfor this! This is where you're wrong. How can it be your fault?" You know | don't
particularly like you, yet you insist on making your presence known. What, do you think you're gold and | must
like you?"
Calliope chewed thoughtfully, looking at Lisette with a hint of disdain.
"Since we're all here, why not settle sscores? Everyone seems so interested
in my family's business, so how about I share a little history with you all?"
