Chapter 349

“Horatio, when Calliope says something like that, there’s got to be a reason. I think you’ve put your trust in the wrong person!”

“Heavens, Lisette’s been a liar since she was a kid, and you still believe her?”

“The Jewell family folks just don’t get it, do they?”

“Has Horatio lost his mind? Trusting a manipulative adopted sister over his own flesh and blood?”

“What’s up with this adopted sister? Did they all date her or something? Why are they so obsessed with her?”

Calliope tapped a few times on her phone, her demeanor as nonchalant as ever.

“Horatio, you were mistaken. I was the one who healed your legs back then. Lisette just swooped in and took the credit. I recorded the whole surgery, and you can see it for yourself.”

Calliope cast the video of Horatio’s surgery onto the screen. She’d thought the video was lost, but somehow, she managed to find it after all. Because Horatio’s condition was rather unique, she had documented the entire procedure, never imagining it would come in handy like this.

As the surgery video played, both Valerian and Calliope were clearly visible, but more importantly, there was an assistant beside Calliope. While the assistant wore a mask, it was obvious who it was.

“Isn’t that Mr. Shepherd? He was assisting Calliope?”

“My goodness, so Horatio was able to walk again thanks to Calliope?”

“Because of Calliope, he regained his mobility, yet he’s been showering Lisette with gratitude and never once thanked Calliope.”

“Looking at it now, Calliope’s been through so much! How could Horatio be so heartless?”

“Whether he’s heartless or not, Lisette is just vile! She stole all of Calliope’s credit and basked in it without a shred of guilt.”

“What a schemer!”

“Wow, poor Calliope’s been wronged for so many years!”

“Why didn’t Calliope explain sooner? She had so much evidence all along!”

“Maybe she didn’t feel like she needed to. And even if she did, some people might not listen anyway!”

“We’ve been complicit in supporting the wrong side. We owe her an apology!”

“Calliope, we’re sorry! We misjudged you and got it all wrong! We don’t expect you to forgive us, but we’re on your side now!”

A lot of people who had initially supported Lisette started backing away, looking at her like she was the most poisonous thing on Earth. There should be a limit to malice, but Lisette seemed to have none. She took everything from Calliope, all the love from her family, and claimed all her accomplishments as her own. And she enjoyed it all so brazenly while spreading lies about Calliope.

What’s more, she was just the adopted daughter of the Jewell family. Being adopted by them was a stroke of great fortune. Shouldn’t she be grateful for that?

She not only took over Calliope’s rightful place but also stole all the love meant for the real daughter. Everyone couldn’t help but feel for Calliope, realizing just how unjust and tragic her situation had been.

“Honestly, if Calliope didn’t have the evidence, would she have been wronged her whole life?”

“Wow, that’s just heartbreaking!”

“Thank goodness Calliope is strong and had the proof. She’s a real powerhouse!”

“Who would’ve thought? If Calliope were any weaker, Lisette would’ve crushed her completely.”
