Chapter 177 Calliopes words left everyone in the room utterly shocked .
Monty and Zelda were just as astonished , while Horatio and the others wore expressions of disbelief .
Callie , you cant just say things like that ! Horatio exclaimed .
This isnt a relationship you can just walk away from ! Calliope , do you have to make a scene at Lisettes birthday party ? Cant you stand to see her happy ? Zelda snapped , glaring at Calliope .
She hadnt even thought of kicking Calliope out of the house , but there Calliope was , announcing to sever ties with them first .
It was madness ! Do you think youll have it easy without the Jewell family ? Youre such a nobody .
You wont find things better anywhere else ! Zelda spat angrily .
I dont need you worrying about how Ill be , Zelda , Calliope said calmly , looking her straight in the eye .
Youve never been satisfied with me , have you ? Youre always saying Lisette is enough for you .
So , me cutting ties with the Jewell family should make you happy , right ? Calliope turned away and pulled out a document .
Heres the agreement I drafted .
I dont want a penny from the Jewell family , and I expect you wont come after me for money , either .
She handed the agreement to Zelda .
The terms are clear .
As for the years you raised me , I doubt you spent much on me .
You took quite a bit from me , so lets call it even , shall we ? Calliope ! Zelda shouted , infuriated .
You just want to make us a laughingstock , dont you? Isnt what youve done already a joke ? Calliope replied , her voice steady .
Ive never seen parents who dont love their biological daughter , treating her like a curse while cherishing an adopted daughter to the bone .
She chuckled softly .
Youre disappointed in me ? Well , Im utterly disappointed in you .
Ive done a lot for the Jewell family , but you dont know or refuse to acknowledge it .
Lets see how the Jewell family does without me ! Zeldas chest heaved with anger .
You are a curse ! Youve brought us nothing but trouble ! Lisette might be adopted , but I raised her as my own .
Theres no need to be so cruel to her ! Calliope , dont act like a victim .

We dont love you because youve never amounted to anything ! Youre rebellious , irresponsible , and lack any ambition .
You hang around with all sorts of unsavory men and work as a waitress at a diner ! Who could love a daughter like that ? Calliope looked at Zelda , her expression calm .
No ambition ? Did you ever care about anything in my life ? Do you think I wanted to be there ? Your precious adopted daughter has been scheming against me the whole time ! Youre raising a snake in your own nest ! Calliope laughed bitterly .
Scheming against you ? Lisette would never do that .
Even if she did , the fact that she could succeed just proves how incompetent you are ! Zelda sneered .
Fine , you want to cut ties ? Even if we didnt spend much on you , I gave you your life , right ? How do you plan to repay that debt ? Calliopes heart ached at her words .
Look at that , her own mother , demanding payment for giving birth to her .
She fought back the tears threatening to spill from her eyes and curled her lips into a sardonic smile .
Name your price , and Ill pay it ! After all , you didnt raise me , just loaned me your womb .
How much do you think your womb is worth ? 1/1
