Yeah , sure , Im the one who made Lisette lose it , so what will you do about it ? Calliope sat in her chair with calm defiance , staring at the two people before her .
A group of burly guys stood behind Calliope , loyal to her as if she were their leader .
The more they listened , the angrier they got , each wearing a frown that threatened to break into a fight at any moment .
How could they say Calliope was in the wrong ? She was the best person in the world , and there was no way shed hurt someone for no reason! Having been with Calliope for a long time , they knew what kind of person Lisette was .

Even though Calliope told them not to confront the Jewell family , they were itching for a showdown .
How could an entire family be so blind ? etching for e Youre spewing nonsense ! Wasnt it Lisette who came looking for trouble ? a hefty guy couldnt hold back any longer .
That Lisette is nothing but trouble , and you all are too blind to see whos good and whos not ! Yeah , as if Callie would even bother with her .
If Lisette dares to come to our diner again , Ill kick her out myself ! A group of them shouted angrily at Valerian and his companion .
Despite her bravado , Zelda was a bit intimidated by the menacing crowd .
She stepped back a few paces , her eyes darting around before settling on Rafferty .
Among them , Rafferty looked somewhat refined , like a man in charge .
Are you the owner here ? Shouldnt you keep your people in line ? And as for her , shes nothing but trouble .
If you keep her working here , your diner will collapse soon ! Rafferty glanced at Zelda coldly .
Trouble ? Only you see her that way .
To us , shes a blessing .
Zelda looked at Rafferty in disbelief .
Besides , I cant fire her .
How could he fire his boss ? The place was hers .
The money came from her , and she hired them .
Hah , she must have something on you ! Zelda sneered , Using a bit of cunning to threaten people , no decency ! She was done talking to Calliope , her eyes scheming as she reached into her bag .
Her hand found the vial of holy water she brought along .
Calliope didnt speak , but her eyes followed Zeldas hand , aware of her sneaky plan .
As Valerian tried to stall for time , Calliope and Zelda moved almost simultaneously .
Zelda quickly retrieved the liquid , aiming to splash it on Calliope .
But Calliope moved like lightning .
No one saw what she did , but suddenly , she had Zeldas wrist in a firm grip , and with a swift motion , she turned the liquid back onto Zeldas head .
Zelda gave a startled scream .
Moments ago, she was the picture of a wealthy lady , hair perfectly styled , but then , she was utterly disheveled , completely drenched .
07:24 Chapter 122 The holy water dripped down from her head , trickling onto her face , clothes , and the floor .
Mom ! Calliope , youve lost it ! Valerian snapped out of his shock and swung a slap at Calliope .
