Chapter 194 Chapter 194 Youve wasted way too much time because of them , Portia grumbled , her voice dripping with disdain .
You shouldve cut ties with them ages ago .
The Jewell family is not worth it ! Calliope and Portia headed home together .
Meanwhile , after spending some time at the pub , the Jewell family members also made their way back home .
Youre back ! What are all these packages ? Noticing her sons and daughter had returned , Zelda looked up and asked , We received several packages today , one for each of you .
What ? Horatio was puzzled .
I didnt order anything .
I havent bought anything , either .
Wait , could it be what Calliope mentioned? Valerian wondered aloud , scratching his head .
Whats in them ? Ulysses furrowed his brow in confusion .
The three brothers exchanged curious glances before moving to their packages , eager to see what was inside .
Lisette and Zelda sat nearby , watching them with interest .
Lisette frowned slightly .
Is she trying to make amends by sending gifts ? Does she want to come back to our family ? Even if she wants to return home , I wont let her ! Zelda snapped sharply .
Let her make a fool of herself out there ! Lisette , youre all we need ! Who knows what shes plotting! Valerian said coldly .
No matter what she sends , I wont agree to let her back ! Of course , she left on her own .
Does she really think she can just waltz back in ? Ulysses tore into his package with little care .
When he saw what was inside , he was taken aback .
His brow furrowed deeply as he turned to look at Horatio and Valerian .
What is it ? It seems shes returned things I gave her as gifts ! The items spilled out of the package , stirring an inexplicable unease in Ulysses .
Those were the small , thoughtless gifts he had given Calliope over the years for her birthdays cheap trinkets , stuffed animals , and inexpensive jewelry .
When it came to Lisette , hed always chosen the finest and most expensive gifts , but with Calliope , he never bothered .
After all , he thought , she was only a simpleton , so it didnt matter what he gave her .
When looking at the meager offerings , he felt a twinge of embarrassment .
But surely Calliope returning them wasnt about their lack of value , was it ? Horatio and Valerian were equally stunned .
Calliope had sent back everything they had ever given her , from childhood gifts to those from just last year .
They had never given her anything of great worth ; the valuable gifts were reserved for Lisette .
If they remembered her birthday , theyd get Calliope some minor stuff .
And if they forgot , it wasnt a big deal .
Lisette was the star , deserving of the finest dresses , the most exquisite jewelry , antiques , and artwork .

Giving such things to Calliope seemed a waste .
Now , confronted with this pile of cheap belongings , their feelings were complicated .
These items lay scattered on the floor , as if mocking them .
What is Calliope trying to say ? Valerian nearly shouted , his frustration boiling over .
Is she complaining our 7/2 10:55 Chapter 194 gifts werent good enough ? Shes lucky to get anything at all ! Ulysses scoffed .
