Since she’d found her real family, why had she never brought them up in front of the rest of them? What was really going on with her and her relatives? And if she had family now, why was she still hanging around the Jewell family? Was there something else she was after?
Ulysses narrowed his eyes, stealing a glance at Lisette.
She noticed his gaze and, a little confused, scooted closer. She leaned in and said, “Hey, don’t be so down. Maybe Callie just… maybe she thinks she’s got those new brothers now, so she doesn’t need us anymore. Maybe she believes those guys are the best thing that ever happened to her, but she doesn’t know we’re actually the ones who care about her the most!”
“If she can’t appreciate that, she’s definitely going to regret it one day. She’ll realize it, trust me. She’ll regret not choosing someone as great as you!”
“And Julius? Sure, he’s more famous than you right now, but that’s temporary. You’re going to be way more successful than that guy, right?”
Lisette batted her eyes, then started laying it on thick, complimenting Ulysses like he’d hung the moon.
Ulysses listened, staring at her, suddenly numb to her flattery. She’d always been good at this—blowing smoke, hyping him up. But now, for some reason, it all felt so fake.
And as he thought about it, he realized she was always trying to stir the pot between him and Calliope. Always saying things that sounded caring, but just made things worse. The words seemed sweet, but somehow always left a bitter taste.
He edged away from her, frowning.
“Didn’t you say you were going to leave us?” he asked. “Maybe Callie saw you and that’s why she doesn’t want anything to do with us.”

Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
