Chapter 175
The video call was already connected, and there was nothing Valerian and his brothers could do to stop it. They looked at Calliope with expressions that could sour milk, glaring daggers at her.
If she dared to embarrass Lisette this time, they were done with herโno more second chances.
K picked up the call almost immediately.
Calliope, using a bit of tech-savvy magic, projected the video onto the big screen behind them.
The room fell into silence as Kโs face appeared on the screen.
โItโs K!โ
โOh my gosh, Calliope knows K, and she can just call him like itโs no big deal!โ
โSo, it means the dress Lisette was wearing was Calliopeโs, and Lisette was pretending to be Calliope?โ
โThatโs kind of harsh, donโt you think?โ
โI get wanting to be in the spotlight, but riding on someone elseโs coattails is just not cool.โ
โLisette wasnโt like this beforeโฆ Is there more to this than meets the eye?โ
Everyone exchanged puzzled glances, trying to make sense of the situation.
Meanwhile, K was beaming from ear to ear upon seeing Calliope.
โCallie, did you miss me or something, calling me out of the blue? Every time I try to reach you, youโre always too busy. But hey, finally got you now!โ
โWhoa, youโre finally wearing one of my dresses? Wait a second, this isnโt one of the ones I gave you. It looks like a piece Mr. Myers asked me to make.โ
โAh, whatever, what matters is youโre wearing it! You look stunning, as always, my muse!โ
K chuckled from the other end. โWhen are you going to model for me?โ
โNot sure I have the time right now, but I called you for a reason.โ
Calliope shifted the camera toward Lisette.
Lisette stood there, looking like a deer caught in the headlights.
Calliope asked, โK, did you design this dress?โ
โOf course, this is the one I designed for you, right?โ K frowned, puzzled. โWhy arenโt you wearing it? Who is this woman? It doesnโt suit her. The waist is way too loose. It makes my dress look awful!โ
Calliope calmly explained, โShe wanted the dress, so I lent it to her. But sheโs been claiming sheโs your savior.โ
โSavior?โ K snorted, amused. โI donโt even know her!โ
โSee?โ Calliope smirked, addressing everyone in the room. โK doesnโt know her.โ
โOh, and Lisette, didnโt you say you saved K?โ She turned to Lisette, โWhy donโt you catch up with him?โ
โCalliope, enough!โ Ulysses was practically fuming. โDo you have to humiliate Lisette? So, what if you know K, or if you helped him? Big deal!โ
After confirming everything, Calliope said a quick goodbye to K and ended the call.
She pocketed her phone and looked at Ulysses with a cold demeanor. โItโs not about impressing anyone, but Iโm not fond of Lisetteโs habit of stealing credit.โ
Chapter 175
โSpeak for yourself!โ Ulysses shot back, seething.
โWhen did Lisette ever steal your credit?โ Valerian chimed in angrily. โAre you delusional?โ
โValerian, have you forgotten who saved your life?โ Calliope fixed him with a steady gaze. โThree years ago, that car crash, remember? Without me, youโd be ashes in the wind.โ
