RankNovelChapter 192 Gideon stood there, not saying a word, his eyes fixed on Calliope like he was trying to see through
her. But Calliope couldn't care less about what Gideon thought.
"I'm not in the mood for drinks anymore. How about we head back?" Calliope suggested to Portia. "Sounds good
to me. What a buzzkill," Portia replied, scrunching her nose in annoyance. She grabbed her purse, casting a
deliberate glare Gideon's way.
Gideon frowned, his expression a mix of confusion and frustration as he watched Calliope. He wondered, 'What
can Callie have that | don't know about? Is Portia trying to mess with me? Calliope isn't a woman of mystery.
What kind of skills could she hide?"
The thought irked Gideon, but then he shook it off. They'd been friends for ages. There were no secrets between
them.
That little stunt with hacking into the surveillance? Probably, it was just something she picked up somewhere,
nothing too impressive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeanwhile, Lisette and her brothers had been waiting for the moment when Calliope would be carted off by the
police. Surely, if she was taken away, she'd cbegging them to testify on her behalf.
But to their surprise, Calliope had sorted everything out within minutes. The couple causing trouble got escorted
away by the cops, and she walked out without a scratch. She'd even managed to access the surveillance footage
from her phone.
Ulysses and his group were left feeling a mix of disbelief and something else they couldn't quite put their finger
on. They never thought Calliope had it in her.
"Wow, she's got sskills. Wonder where she picked that up," Lisette commented, a smile on her face but her
eyes cold as ice.
"Just a fluke," Ulysses scoffed, refusing to acknowledge any real talent in Calliope.
"If she had any real talent, we'd know about it," Valerian added with a sneer.
As they gossiped amongst themselves, Calliope waved goodbye to Portia and made her way over to them.
They exchanged looks, surprised that Calliope was heading their way.
Lisette was stunned, too. She
quickly said, "Callie, are your regretting leaving the Jewell family already? No matter what, you're still
their sister by blood. You guys shouldn't hold a grudge because she once said she wanted out of the family. Sure,
she might not know much and sometimes cause trouble for the family and the company.... People may call her
useless, but she's still a Jewell, right?"
"She wanted out, remember? Does she dare to cback now?" Ulysses said, his tone icy.
"We'd never take her back, even if she begged!" Valerian added with disdain.
"She thought she was too good for the Jewell family. Let's see if she can manage on her own," Horasaid,
glancing at Calliope with a smirk.
The three of them were still annoyed about Calliope's declaration at the party to cut ties with the Jewell family. If
she wanted to sever ties, she'd better stick to it and never ccrawling back.
Calliope stopped in front of the four.
"What do you want?" Ulysses asked, looking up at her. "Regretting your impulsive decisions? You should think

consequences." en
"Calliope, if you're thinking of coming back, I'm seriously disappointed in you," Valerian mocked. Calliope swept
her gaze over the trio, unfazed. "Dream on. | finally managed to cut ties with you. Why on earth would | come
crawling back?"
