Zelda had been in a pretty good mood, honestly.
The Jewell family wasn’t headed for bankruptcy anymore, so she could go back to living her life of luxury. She was out shopping with Lisette, and even though running into Calliope annoyed her a little, it didn’t dampen her spirits too much.
After all, Calliope hadn’t actually done anything to mess with them—yet. So Zelda was determined to enjoy herself.
But then Portia, with that razor-sharp tongue of hers, managed to piss Zelda off in just a few snappy sentences.
That damn witch.
Zelda shot Lisette a glance, then turned to Portia and snapped, “Lisette doesn’t sponge off her parents, okay? She’s plenty caring, and even if she did, it’s none of your business. Maybe you should worry about your own life. Are your folks really happy to have you mooching off them forever?”
Portia just grinned, smug as ever. “Of course they are. I’m their biological daughter—they’ll always love me. Unlike your precious Lisette here. You sure she’ll still be so ‘caring’ when you’re old? Or will she just run off to her real parents?”
She shrugged, then added, “Honestly, Zelda, Lisette’s not exactly a saint. Don’t be surprised if she turns on you someday.”
Zelda glared daggers at her.
Then she turned to Lisette and said, “Ignore them, honey. People like them only hang out with their own kind—troublemakers, the lot of them.”
“Bad luck,” she muttered under her breath.
Calliope just smirked. “No, bad luck is being stuck around you two.”
“Come on, Portia. Let’s get out of here—the air is getting toxic.”
She linked arms with Portia, but as they walked off, she shot Zelda a look over her shoulder. “Hey, Zelda, don’t be stingy! You spoil your daughter, right? Better spend big, or people will talk.”
Zelda scoffed, “Don’t worry, I’ll spend plenty. Just not a dime on you.”
Calliope gave her a mysterious little grin.

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......
