Chapter 148 She was surrounded by a crowd , her face lit up with a radiant smile , and even her eyes seemed to be sparkling with joy .
The three brothers stood awkwardly at the door .
Their brows furrowed as if the sight of Calliope was like a splinter in their eye .
Horatio remembered the times when Calliope celebrated her birthday with Lisette .
She never seemed this happy .
But right then , she looked blissful .
She was with her three brothers , her siblings from the countryside .
She seemed genuinely happy with them .
A peculiar discomfort settled in Horatios heart , and his frown deepened .
Ulysses chuckled dryly , She didnt invite us for her birthday .
It seems like she doesnt recognize us as her brothers anymore .
We werent that bad to her , were we ? Now that she has those brothers and a husband , shes forgotten about the Jewell family , huh ? Thinks shes some Cinderella now ? Valerian wore a scowl of dissatisfaction , Shes changed .
Nigel approached Calliope with a gift , offering it to her before whispering a few words .
Only then did Calliope notice the Jewell brothers standing at the doorway .
Many in the banquet hall had turned their attention to the Jewell brothers .
Well , isnt it the Jewell brothers ? Did you come to wish Callie a happy birthday ? Oh wait , you didnt even bring a gift , did you ? Portia said , her voice dripping with mockery .
Her words drew everyones gaze toward the brothers at the door , probing and curious .
Valerian and his siblings turned red with embarrassment , frozen in place .
Calliope hadnt expected them to show up but effortlessly figured out their real reason .
They certainly werent here to celebrate her birthday or to offer any warm wishes .
They were probably there about Lisettes birthday party the following day .
Their enthusiasm for Lisettes birthday was always over the top .
Silas stood beside Calliope , eyeing Valerian and the others with a hint of frostiness .
He hadnt invited them , which made them uninvited guests .
Callie , we need to talk , Horatio finally broke the silence .
Silas stepped forward , instinctively protective , but Calliope lightly tugged on his sleeve .
Silas , Ill go talk to them .
You stay and keep the party going .
With that , Calliope walked toward the trio .
Under the lights , her dress , adorned with tiny crystals , shimmered like a fairys gown .
She was regal , elegant , exuding a princess like aura , breathtakingly beautiful .
Valerian and his brothers were momentarily stunned by her appearance .
Valerian , however , was more fixated on Calliopes dress .

If Lisette wore it , shed undoubtedly look even better .
He recognized the design was from the famous international designer K , whose dresses were rare treasures .
Yet there was Calliope , effortlessly draped in one of Ks designs , a dress Lisette had always desired but never obtained .
Valerians eyes narrowed sharply .
They always saved the best for Lisette .
After all , Lisette was the youngest among them .
But here was Calliope , wearing what Lisette most coveted .
What do you want to say ? Calliope asked , looking at the three of them .
I doubt youre here to wish me a happy birthday .
