Chapter 161

“Really?” Lisette’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Calliope’s name.

Was Calliope really going to give her a designer dress? She found it hard to believe.

How could Calliope be so generous? Last time, Calliope almost humiliated her completely, and people at the company were still laughing about it.

Of course, even if Lisette loathed Calliope or didn’t trust her, she would never say it out loud.

She preferred to keep her cards close to her chest, and let her brothers see for themselves just how outrageous Calliope could be.

If Calliope wanted to set herself up for a bad impression, Lisette wouldn’t mind.

“Yeah, Callie promised,” Valerian said.

“She wouldn’t dare deceive us,” Ulysses chuckled coldly. “Does she think she can just ignore us brothers?”

He assumed Calliope should be trying to win their favor.

With Lisette as their sister, Calliope was just a blip on the radar. If it weren’t for the fact that she was their sister by blood, they wouldn’t give her the time of day.

“By the way, what surprise do you guys have for me?” Lisette asked.

“Callie’s birthday party yesterday was so grand with those fireworks, and everyone saw it. People online are buzzing about her birthday bash.” Lisette lowered her eyes, a bit crestfallen.

“I heard she had the party at the Starlight Hotel’s rooftop. If word gets out, won’t people laugh at me?” Her lips pouted, “It’s not that I want to compete with Callie. I genuinely wish her happiness. I’m just worried people will compare and start saying things.”

“Besides, I’m a bit concerned about Callie. If she keeps demanding things from Mr. Myers, won’t he get fed up? What if he gets annoyed and causes trouble for our family?”

Lisette sighed.

“I thought Callie marrying Mr. Myers would mean she’d consider our family’s business. Just a flick of Mr. Myers’ finger could mean endless projects for the Jewell family,” Lisette muttered.

Horatio and the others listened, their expressions gradually changing. They exchanged glances, realizing Lisette had a point.

Undoubtedly, with just a word, she could have facilitated cooperation between the Baker Group and the Jewell family, yet she hadn’t spoken up, instead squandering Silas’s money like that.

Those fireworks must have cost a fortune. Such extravagance, squandering money that wasn’t hers as if it was nothing.

If Silas got angry, who would bear the brunt of his wrath?

The man, though wealthy and the richest in Capitalton, was not someone to cross lightly.

Horatio and the others didn’t speak, but silently noted that it was a matter they needed to discuss with Calliope. She might not want to help the family, but she shouldn’t harm it.

Who knew if Mr. Myers would show up at tonight’s party? If he did, it would elevate the event’s prestige.

Though he was invited, Silas rarely attended such gatherings.

Even though Calliope and he were married, only they knew how their relationship truly was. Maybe Silas didn’t even see her as a wife.

“Lisette, don’t worry. We'll always be our little princess.”

“You guys are the best!” Lisette’s eyes glistened with tears. “I can’t believe I have such wonderful brothers. Sometimes, I feel overly fortunate to have you all in my life.”

“Lisette, you’re amazing, too. That’s why we treat you this way!”
