"Calliope is so wicked!"

The whispers buzzed around the room, and Portia could feel her blood boiling.

"How is Callie wicked? Lisette is the real snake! She's been scheming against Callie since they were kids! Callie never got any love from their parents. Lisette hogged it all!

"Exactly, she blames Lisette for everything she does wrong!"

"Lisette's always been the one bending over backward. Do you think it's easy being the adopted one in the Jewell family?"

"Calliope, that's enough!" Valerian interrupted, his expression stern. "We're not getting rid of Lisette. She's like family to us!"
