"I used to have no idea. Honestly, I was pretty naive—I just believed whatever she said."
"It wasn't until recently that I found out: all those things we thought Lisette had done for us? Turns out, it was actually Calliope who did them!"
"And not only did we not know, but when she tried to explain, we actually yelled at her!"
"We thought she was out of line."
"We thought she was the imposter, and we trusted Lisette unconditionally. We never once trusted Callie!"
"We were wrong. Wildly wrong!"
"I know that now, but my family—they still have no clue!"
"They're not just clueless, they're doubling down on their mistakes!"
"So I’m asking everyone here—please help me knock some sense into them!"
"It’s not just Valerian who never gave Callie a dime—even Horatio didn’t! I’m calling Horatio right now; I bet he’ll tell you himself!"
Ulysses quickly dialed Horatio’s number.
He put the call on speaker and asked him point-blank.
Horatio answered honestly.
After hanging up, Ulysses turned to the whole room. “Did you all hear that? Horatio never paid her a cent either! So all this talk about Callie stealing money from the Jewell family? Total nonsense!”
"This is just the Jewell family being greedy, plain and simple!"
Valerian’s face turned a shade of beet red. He glared at Ulysses. “Ulysses, you’ve completely lost your mind!”
Lisette jumped in, “That's right! Maybe the Jewell family didn’t spend money on Calliope, but Kermit did! Kermit supported her, Kermit’s savings all went to her—how can you say she didn’t take Jewell family money?”
