Chapter 111 Calliope glanced at Valerian with surprise and weariness .
She had told him countless times that she was the one who had saved his life , not Lisette .
But he had always dismissed her words , insisting Lisette was his savior .
He accused Calliope of being manipulative and trying to steal Lisettes credit .
Eventually , she grew tired of defending herself .
She stopped bringing it up , resigning to the belief that Valerian would never learn the truth .
But to her astonishment , somehow , Valerian had discovered the reality of what happened .
Maybe it had something to do with her saving Nigel , a small act that seemed to ripple through the fabric of their lives , altering the course of some events .
In the past , Valerian acknowledging the truth would have stirred intense emotion in Calliope .
Her brother finally recognizing her would have brought tears to her eyes .
But now , she felt a strange calmness .
Her gaze remained steady and cold as she looked at Valerian , her voice cold and detached .
Did I not tell you ? she asked .
Is it my fault you didnt know ? Her voice , though melodious , carried an edge of aloofness .
Valerian felt a sharp pang of guilt , his eyes reddening slightly .
Im sorry , Callie , he mumbled , his voice thick with remorse .
I was wrong .
I never believed you , and Im so sorry for that .
He lowered his head , drowning in self reproach .
And so ? Calliope replied , her tone unyielding .
You think a simple sorry is enough for me to forgive everything , to cry and tell you its okay , that youre still my wonderful brother ? Callie , thats not what I meant , Valerian stammered , struggling for words .
Then what did you mean ? Calliopes expression remained unchanged as she watched him .
I just … I realized I misunderstood you .
I want to make it right .
Hit me , yell at me , whatever you need , Valerian pleaded .
You liked that car , right ? Let me buy it for you .
Silas , who had been standing nearby with his hands in his pockets , cast a sidelong glance at Valerian , one eyebrow raised .
Valerian , you think Im running short on cars here ? Valerian faltered , momentarily at a loss for words .
Calliope crossed her arms , arching an eyebrow .
Since you know Im the one who saved you and that Lisette took my credit , what will you do about Lisette ? Valerian froze , his gaze flickering with indecision and discomfort .
Calliopes clear , striking eyes bore into him .
Whats your plan ? Just sweep it under the rug ? Callie , Lisette is your sister , too .
Shes young .
She didnt mean any harm .
Cant you forgive her ? Valerian implored earnestly .
There must have been a reason she lied .
Shes not that kind of person .
Calliopes lips curled into a sardonic smile .
Oh , so Lisette didnt mean it , but Im the one with bad intentions ? Callie , thats not what Im saying ! Valerian rushed to explain .
Lisette isnt like that .
I know youve always had issues with her , and its just a misunderstanding .
Calliopes eyes locked onto Valerians , a storm of unspoken frustrations brewing within her .
Even now , with the truth before him , he chose to defend Lisette .
In his eyes , it was always about Lisette .
