The three Jewell brothers were glued to their screens, watching the live stream unfold. At first, they thought Calliope was out of her mind. She should have been at the doorstep, ready to bolt if things went south with the alligators. Instead, she was strolling right into danger, getting way too close for comfort.
Just looking at her, they figured she was doomed. Her outfit screamed recklessness, and they were sure she was heading for a disaster. But to their shock, Calliope emerged unscathed, not even a drop of water on her.
The alligators did attack her, but they ended up in a sorry state, not her. She treated them like soccer balls, kicking them around and even sending a few flying.
Ulysses rubbed his eyes, convinced something was wrong with his vision. How could Calliope be that strong? Was she some kind of superhero?
"Did I just imagine that?" he asked, bewildered.
"Horatio, Valerian, does she have that much strength?"
The alligators weren't tiny; they were massive. Any ordinary guy, even a martial artist, would struggle with so many alligators. But Calliope? She took them down single-handedly. Was she the crazy one, or were they?
"You didn't imagine it. I saw it too," Valerian replied after some silence, his mind confused. He never thought Calliope had that kind of power.
Horatio frowned, puzzled. "Callie never mentioned she was that strong!"
"And she never told us she knew Upton, either!" Valerian scoffed. "It seems like she's been keeping a lot from us, her brothers."
"She's not even part of the Jewell family anymore, yet she's still causing us trouble!"
"If she's so great, she should stop using the Ms. Jewell name out there!" Valerian grumbled, furrowing his brow. "No worries. We'll clear things up. Her so-called abilities are pointless. She's a nobody with no degree, no decent job. She can't even manage a company. We're not wrong."
"Right, she has no useful skills."
"What good is being strong if she's not going to wrestle bears?" Ulysses chuckled. "She doesn't help with anything at home. It was Lisette who helped me land that role back in the day. Calliope doesn't have Lisette's connections, smarts, or business acumen. She doesn't even have Lisette's temperament."
