Chapter 119 After getting into the car , Zelda explained Lisettes situation to Valerian .
When Valerian heard , his brows furrowed deeply , and his face darkened with anger .
It must have been her .
I knew it .
She wouldnt let Lisette off the hook ! What do you know ? Zelda glanced at Valerian suspiciously .
Valerian paused , contemplating whether to spill the truth .
But then he remembered Lisettes wish to keep it under wraps .
She was afraid of the judgment that might follow if people found out .
He understood Lisette .
She had always been the golden child , praised by everyone , and she didnt want any blemish on her record .
But Callie was different .
She had never been a model citizen .
Even back in school , Calliope always got into fights and caused trouble .
She didnt even graduate properly , unlike the ever accomplished Lisette .
Callie didnt have a good reputation to begin with , so this incident wouldnt really tarnish her name .
But for Lisette , it was a stain she couldnt afford .
So , Valerian decided to keep the matter to himself .
Its nothing .
Callies always had it out for Lisette , he said , concealing the truth even from his mother .
If Lisette wanted secrecy , hed respect that .
As for dealing with Callie , hed figure out how to handle it after determining if she was truly responsible for hurting Lisette .
She must have lost her mind , pulling a stunt like this over something so trivial , just to harm Lisette .
After the diner quieted down that afternoon , everyone gathered for a card game .
Calliope lounged back in her chair , blending in seamlessly with the group .
They were a rough and tumble -bunch , each with their own stories , but easygoing nonetheless .
Damn , Callie ! Youre wiping us out here ! the bald guy complained across the table when Calliope raked in another winning hand .
Callie , give someone else a chance .
We cant keep up with you .
Youre like the card shark of legends .
How are you so good at everything , from poker to blackjack ? another player said .
Calliope smirked , Well , my mentor was a legendary card shark .
I picked up a few tricks over the years .
Despite her words , she graciously yielded her spot .

A barrage of voice notes followed the video .
Callie , check out this video ! Lisettes gone bonkers ! Its hysterical .
She actually declared herself a frog in public ! And the best part ? She started hopping around like one ! This videos gone viral .
Miss Prim and Proper has made a fool of herself .
Her reputations shot to the moon ! Callie , this is too satisfying ! Calliope listened to Portias enthusiastic commentary , caught between laughter and disbelief .
Guess whos behind her meltdown ? she teased .
After a moment of typing , Portia called through video chat , her face brimming with gossip .
Babe , what are you saying ? Are you saying you drove Lisette to madness ? Is Lisettes frog moment really your doing ? 07:23 Chapter 11 Calliope chuckled , recounting the tale to Portia , who gave her a thumbs up .
Callie , what did you use on her ? That was effective ! Could you hook me up with some ? I want to be well prepared when I run into a jerk next time ! Of course , I got you ! Calliope laughed .
