Chapter 869

"Callie, honey, your dad really needs your help here."

"We know we messed up. I'm sorry, really sorry. I'll get down on my knees and beg you if that's what it takes, okay?"

"Please, just give us a break!"

Monty looked at Calliope with hopeful eyes, desperate for her to step in.

Calliope's beautiful face remained unreadable. She replied, cool as ice, "Mr. Jewell, there's no blood between us. And whatever bond we might've had, you and your family burned through it a long time ago. Even if you all dropped dead right now, I wouldn't feel a damn thing."

"So, don't bother begging me."

"Go find someone else to help you."

"And for the record, I haven't done anything to you. Everything that's happened to you, you brought on yourselves. What do you even mean, 'give you a break'?"

Calliope let out a cold, dismissive laugh. "If I was actually out to get you, you wouldn't even be standing here to beg. You'd be six feet under by now."

Her eyes were icy, almost frightening.
