"Step aside, I don't have tfor this!"
Calliope was blocked at the entrance.
Zelda stood in her way, flanked by a squad of security guards standing shoulder- to-shoulder,
forming a solid wall in front of her.
Calliope glared at Zelda, her frustration barely contained.
"Calliope, if you want to leave, fine. But you owe us sanswers before you go!" Zelda snapped.
"You were never even part of the Jewell family, were you? What the hell were you doing, pretending
to be a Jewell all these years?"
"You're a con artist! You swindled us out of so many shares. What else have you stolen from us?"
Lisette crossed her arms, a smug grin spreading across her face.
For the longest time, Lisette had been insecure, always reminded that Calliope was supposedly the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtreal Jewell daughter while she was just the adopted one. Sometimes she'd worry that the Jewells
didn't truly care for her.
But now, with this revelation, she was practically gleeful.
Calliope wasn't a Jewell by blood. She was just as much an outsider as Lisette was. Nothing. No connection to the
family at all. Just a small-town nobody, really. Suddenly, Lisette felt emboldened. The family had never really
liked Calliope, and now, knowing she had no blood ties to them, they'd probably like her even less-if that was
even possible.
Calliope shot Lisette a cold look. "So, Ulysses told you. Yes, I'm not actually a Jewell. So letthrough. | have
more important things to deal with right now. Don't forceto get physical!"
Her mind was racing. Hudson was in trouble, and she needed to see him, now. She knew there was probably no
saving him, but she had to try. She had to do something-anything.
"Calliope, you're not going anywhere until you clear this up!" Zelda barked. "Hold her right there!"
"Call the cops and have her arrested. She's a fraud. She pretended to be my daughter and scammed us out of a
fortune!"
Calliope stared at Zelda in disbelief. She'd never gotten any real benefit from being in the Jewell family, and now
she was being called a thief?
But she had no patience for this . Not today.
"You want to settle scores? Fine. When I'm done with what | need to do, I'll cback and we'll talk. I said | don't
have tright now!"
She started toward the door.
"Trying to run away, huh? You think the truth coming out means you can just bolt?" Zelda shouted after her "It's
not that easy! You're not leaving this company until you answer for what you've done! If you won't explain, you
can explain it to the police!"

Calliope ignored her. When the security guards made a move, she didn't hesitate and fought back.
The board members nearby looked on in shock, scrambling out of the way.
It was still early, and plenty of
employees were just arriving, only to see their chairwoman physically fighting the security team in
the lobby People pressed themselves against the walls, desperatenot to get caught up in the chaos.
s
"What the heck is going on?"
"Isn't that Ms. Calliope, the chairwoman?"
"Why is she fighting with security?"
"Wait, Mrs. Jewell and Ms. Lisette are here too... What is happening?"
"1 overheard Mrs. Jewell say Calliope isn't really part of the family. And Calliope didn't even deny it.
Looks like it's true!"
"That makes sense, honestly. | always wondered how the Jewelts, no offense, could have a daughter
as sharp and gorgeous as Calliope. She never really looked like any of them, did she?" s
