Chapter 857

A few sharp words from Calliope, and suddenly the room full of journalists and onlookers looked like they'd just bitten into a lemon.

Just minutes ago, everyone had been squarely on the Jewell family's side. Honestly, most folks thought Calliope had gone too far, that she was some kind of con artist pulling a fast one.

But what if that wasn't the truth? What if the Jewell family was just using everyone as pawns?

I mean, if the family really had ironclad evidence, they could do what Calliope suggested and go straight to court, right? But they didn't. Instead, they called a press conference and put on a show for the cameras.

And come to think of it, not a single shred of proof had been shown. Nothing. Just a lot of tearful words and sad faces, acting like they were the victims. But where was the evidence?

There wasn't any. Not a damn thing.
