"You think I'm just a troublemaker, a real piece of work, so you bleverything on me? So, it doesn't matter
whether you know the truth or not, you're just here to defend Lisette anyway.
Yeah, sure, I'm the one who made Lisette lose it, so what will you do about it?" Calliope sat in her chair with calm
defiance, staring at the two people before her. A group of burly guys stood behind Calliope, loyal to her as if she
were their leader.
The more they listened, the angrier they got, each wearing a frown that threatened to break into a fight at any
moment.
How could they say Calliope was in the wrong? She was the best person in the world, and there was no way
she'd hurt someone for no reason!
Having been with Calliope for a long time, they knew what kind of person Lisette was. Even though Calliope told
them not to confront the Jewell family, they were itching for a showdown. How could an entire family be so blind?

longer. "That Lisette is nothing but trouble, and you all are too blind to see who's good and who's not!" "Yeah, as
if Callie would even bother with her. If Lisette dares to cto our diner again, I'll kick her out myself!"
A group of them shouted angrily at Valerian and his companion.
Despite her bravado, Zelda was a bit intimidated by the menacing crowd.
She stepped back a few paces, her eyes darting around before settling on Rafferty.
Among them, Rafferty looked somewhat refined, like a man in charge.
"Are you the owner here? Shouldn't you keep your people in line? And as for her, she's nothing but
trouble. If you keep her working here, your diner will collapse soon!"
Rafferty glanced at Zelda coldly. "Trouble? Only you see her that way. To us, she's a blessing."
Zelda looked at Rafferty in disbelief.
"Besides, | can't fire her."
How could he fire his boss? The place was hers. The money cfrom her, and she hired them.
"Hah, she must have something on
you!"
sneered, "Using a bit of
to threaten people, no
decency!"
She was done talking to Calliope, her eyes scheming as she reached into her bag. Her hand found the vial of holy
water she brought along.

Calliope didn't speak, but her eyes followed Zelda's hand, aware of her sneaky plan. As Valerian tried to stall for
time, Calliope and Zelda moved almost simultaneously. Zelda quickly retrieved the liquid, aiming to splash it on
Calliope.
But Calliope moved like lightning. No one saw what she did, but suddenly, she had Zelda's wrist in a firm grip,
and with a swift motion, she turned the liquid back onto Zelda's head.

Zelda gave a startled scream.

Moments ago, she was the picture of a wealthy lady, hair perfectly styled, but then, she was utterly disheveled,
completely drenched.
The holy water dripped down from her head, trickling onto her face, clothes, and the floor. "Mom!"
"Calliope, you've lost it!" Valerian snapped out of his shock and swung a slap at Calliope.
