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 herโ€”no 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 Kโ€™s face appeared on the screen.

โ€œItโ€™s K!โ€

โ€œOh my gosh, Calliope knows K, and she can just call him like itโ€™s no big deal!โ€

โ€œSo, it means the dress Lisette was wearing was Calliopeโ€™s, and Lisette was pretending to be Calliope?โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s kind of harsh, donโ€™t you think?โ€

โ€œI get wanting to be in the spotlight, but riding on someone elseโ€™s coattails is just not cool.โ€

โ€œLisette wasnโ€™t like this beforeโ€ฆ 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.

โ€œCallie, did you miss me or something, calling me out of the blue? Every time I try to reach you, youโ€™re always too busy. But hey, finally got you now!โ€

โ€œWhoa, youโ€™re finally wearing one of my dresses? Wait a second, this isnโ€™t one of the ones I gave you. It looks like a piece Mr. Myers asked me to make.โ€

โ€œAh, whatever, what matters is youโ€™re wearing it! You look stunning, as always, my muse!โ€

K chuckled from the other end. โ€œWhen are you going to model for me?โ€

โ€œNot 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, โ€œK, did you design this dress?โ€

โ€œOf course, this is the one I designed for you, right?โ€ K frowned, puzzled. โ€œWhy arenโ€™t you wearing it? Who is this woman? It doesnโ€™t suit her. The waist is way too loose. It makes my dress look awful!โ€

Calliope calmly explained, โ€œShe wanted the dress, so I lent it to her. But sheโ€™s been claiming sheโ€™s your savior.โ€

โ€œSavior?โ€ K snorted, amused. โ€œI donโ€™t even know her!โ€

โ€œSee?โ€ Calliope smirked, addressing everyone in the room. โ€œK doesnโ€™t know her.โ€

โ€œOh, and Lisette, didnโ€™t you say you saved K?โ€ She turned to Lisette, โ€œWhy donโ€™t you catch up with him?โ€

โ€œCalliope, enough!โ€ Ulysses was practically fuming. โ€œDo 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. โ€œItโ€™s not about impressing anyone, but Iโ€™m not fond of Lisetteโ€™s habit of stealing credit.โ€

Chapter 175

โ€œSpeak for yourself!โ€ Ulysses shot back, seething.

โ€œWhen did Lisette ever steal your credit?โ€ Valerian chimed in angrily. โ€œAre you delusional?โ€

โ€œValerian, have you forgotten who saved your life?โ€ Calliope fixed him with a steady gaze. โ€œThree years ago, that car crash, remember? Without me, youโ€™d be ashes in the wind.โ€
