Chapter 64

Then, she received a message from Wynton.

Wynton sent, “Hey Calliope, I’m here to vouch for Mr. Myers. He hasn’t done anything shady behind your back! Check this out, it’s what I saw today outside the Baker Group building! Your sister is really something else, trying to seduce your husband.”

Calliope stared at the flurry of messages from Wynton, noticing the sign with Lisette’s name on it.

Right there was Lisette’s picture, clearly a screenshot from security footage.

The sign was boldly displayed at the entrance of the building, announcing to the world that Lisette was banned from entering.

Calliope could already imagine Lisette’s face turning beet red with anger.

Wynton excitedly recounted the incident to Calliope. He explained how Lisette tried to seduce Silas, but Silas, being the epitome of integrity, not only resisted her advances but also kicked her out. To make an example out of her, he even placed the sign at the entrance.

Wynton declared that Silas really loved Calliope and Lisette had embarrassed herself beyond belief. No matter how good Lisette’s reputation was before, from now on, she was just a desperate woman.

Calliope wasn’t quite sure who this Wynton was, but she found him amusing. She had just typed a quick thank you when Zelda’s call came through.

Seeing Zelda’s name flash on her phone, Calliope knew the news had already spread.

Sure enough, as soon as she answered, Zelda’s irate voice filled her ears.

“Calliope, have you lost your mind? Do you want to ruin Lisette? She was just visiting Silas for some work-related discussion, and you’ve turned it into this huge scandal? How could you be so venomous? She’s your sister, even though she’s not blood related, but after all this time, isn’t there any bond between you two? Why can’t you cut her some slack? She is younger than you! As the older sister, don’t you know better? How did I end up with such a spiteful child like you?”

Zelda berated her relentlessly over the phone. Calliope didn’t even get a chance to defend herself.

But she was used to it by now. Calmly, she held her phone away from her ear, completely tuning out Zelda’s tirade.

Once Zelda had exhausted herself and quieted down, Calliope finally spoke, “Zelda, are you done?”

“What kind of attitude is that? Is this how you speak to your mother?” Zelda was fuming.

“And what should I do? Call you ‘Dearest Mom’ after you’ve just ripped into me? If you’re not disgusted, I sure am.”

Calliope chuckled softly. “You say Lisette is younger and I should give way to her, but you’re older than me by quite a bit. Do you ever cut me some slack?”

“How is that the same thing?” Zelda was incredulous.

“Isn’t it?” Calliope shrugged. “Do you even know what Lisette was up to at the Baker Group?”

“What else would she be doing? She was obviously there for business!” Zelda snapped back.

“Business? Dressed in that seductive attire? Or was it more like a sister trying to seduce her brother-in-law? Or are you backing her up in this too?”

“Calliope, quit spewing nonsense!” Zelda growled, “You think Lisette is as awful as you? She’s not shameless like you!”
