Silas and Quentin stood there, eyes locked on Monty and his crew, their stares sharp enough to cut glass.
Sure, they had polite, almost friendly smiles plastered on their faces—but the fire burning in their eyes was all too clear. It screamed danger.
Monty swallowed hard, feeling his throat go dry.
He never imagined all of them would suddenly show up to back Calliope like this.
And the worst part? Calliope had just laid out a mountain of evidence. There was no way for them to talk themselves out of this mess now, no matter how hard they tried.
Valerian, standing to the side, was sweating bullets. He’d thought they had the upper hand—after all, public opinion was on their side.
But Calliope had flipped the whole game in a heartbeat.
She’d kept every shred of evidence, just waiting for them to call this press conference. It was like she’d set a trap and they’d walked right into it, cameras rolling and all.
The reporters in the room were stunned.
Some were even live-streaming the whole thing, and their viewers were losing their minds just as much.
People in the crowd stared as the group of ridiculously handsome guys stormed in. Once everyone realized who they were, the place practically exploded.
Especially because Julius—yeah, that Julius—was there too. Maybe not everyone recognized Quentin or Norton, but Julius was a household name.
And then there was Silas. The richest guy in all of Capitalton. Who didn’t recognize him?
Just those two alone would’ve made headlines.
But they were all here for Calliope. Every last one of them was on her side. The energy in the room went wild.
Especially now that everyone knew Calliope was innocent all along.
“Oh my god, are you seeing this? Calliope’s got a whole squad of heartthrobs protecting her!”
“I mean, her brothers are actual heroes. With them by her side, who needs those losers from the Jewell family?”
“I’m so jealous right now!”
