"As long as she's willing to save the company, I'll pay any price. Nothing's too much."
Valerian looked at Lisette with genuine warmth in his eyes. "Lisette, you've always been so kind. You've done a
lot for the Jewell family already."
He found himself liking her more and more. She loved him, and she'd do anything for him.
"For the Jewell family, it's only right," Lisette said earnestly. "My life belongs to this family. All the good years I've
had, | owe them to you. Giving everything for this family is just what I'm supposed to do."
Everyone nodded along at Lisette's words.
"If only Callie could understand that," Monty sighed.
"What does she know about anything?" Zelda huffed. "She's had no manners since she was a kid."
Ulysses Jewell shot Zelda a look. "Mom, we need her help right now. Maybe ease up on the judgment.”
He felt a new kind of panic gnawing at him. Calliope had a husband now, brothers who cared about her, friends
at her side. She didn't seem to care about the rest of them anymore.
At least, that's how it felt to him, Calliope was totally indifferent.
"When did you becher biggest defender?" Zelda snapped at Ulysses.

She remembered her youngest son used to dislike Calliope the most. Now he was sticking up for her? If it wasn't
for the company, Zelda wouldn't even be here.
Monty stared at Zelda, unblinking.
"Why don't you try making peace with Callie?" he said suddenly, his voice all business. "You've always been hard
on her. Maybe that's why she doesn't want to cback or help out. She's disappointed in you. But if you make
an effort, she might soften up and give us a hand."
He studied Zelda intently. "You're her mother, after all. No way she doesn't care about you at all."
"Absolutely not! | don't like her. | can't stand her!" Zelda shot back, her jaw tight.
Sure, she'd given birth to Calliope, but she'd nearly died because of it, and everyone always said Calliope was
bad luck.
Now she was supposed to apologize? Change her attitude? No way.
Horaand the others looked at Zelda, the expectation thick in the air.
"Mom, just try, okay? The company's on the line!" Horapleaded. "You noticed at Christmas, nobody stopped
by, none of the relatives. They all know we're in trouble."
"Yeah, and if things get any worse, we
might lose the company, the houge-

Zelda clenched her teeth. "You think she'd even accept an apology from me?"
She didn't want to lose everything, but swallowing her pride felt impossible.
"Callie's got a soft spot, you know.
