Chapter 201 What kind of shady methods do you think Im using to make money ? Calliope let out a sarcastic chuckle .
Did Lisette say Im a gold digger or a homewrecker ? Shes got a knack for spreading rumors .
Dont you dare slander Lisette ! Valerian snapped , flaring up .
Lisettes always defended you , but weve seen your scandalous photos ! What scandalous photos ? Id love to see how scandalous they are , Calliope retorted while raising an eyebrow .
I knew you wouldnt own up to it .
Ive had Lisette send them to me ! Ulysses pulled out his phone and flipped through the images , shoving them to Calliopes face .
See ? One man after another .
You thought you were clever , didnt you ? But the whole world knows youre not as discreet as you think ! So thats what this is about … Calliope gazed at the photos , unfazed , and even found them amusing .
Every so called old man in those pictures was a renowned expert in the field of medicine , research , or weapon design .
Their interest in her wasnt for anything untoward .
They sought her out for lectures or to consult her expertise .
She often wanted to refuse their invitations , but it was hard to turn them down when they came to pick her up .
Yet , there she was , accused by Lisette of being a gold digger .
Calliope glanced at the three , considering her words , but decided against saying more .
There was no point in explaining .
Nothing she said would change their minds .
Besides , she didnt plan on wasting her energy caring about their opinions anymore .
Calliope smirked , mischief in her eyes .
If thats how you want to see it , fine .
If you dont want these gifts , Ill give them to someone who does .
Hey , Big Guy , get the crew out here ! Time to pick out some gifts ! Calliope called back into the diner .

Big Guy immediately rallied the others , who came piling out .
What gifts ? Baldy asked , his interest piqued .
See those in the car ? Help yourselves .
Take whatever you like .
Clear them out , Calliope gestured with her chin toward the car .
Seriously ? Callie , youre the best! We wont hold back , then ! The group swarmed the car , eagerly unwrapping presents .
This helmet is perfect for my bike ! This tie screams boss material .
Lets give it to the boss ! This watch is gorgeous ! It looks expensive .
Callies so generous ! Thanks , Callie ! As they rummaged through and divvied up the items , they kept showering Calliope with gratitude .
Horatio and his companions were shocked as Calliope nonchalantly handed the gifts to the diner crew .
They couldnt believe shed give these high end items to a bunch of people who , in their eyes , couldnt appreciate them .
It was like giving pearls to swine .
Although they wanted to return the gifts to Calliope , seeing them handed out so readily left them feeling sour .
Ulysses glared coldly at Calliope .
You just gave them away like that ? 22:04 You think theyre tainted , but they dont , Calliope replied coldly .
Everyone got what they wanted ? Okay , lets get back to the diner ! After that , Calliope led the group back into the diner , leaving Horatio and the others standing there , grappling with their mixed emotions .
Watching the crew walk off with what they both desired and rejected left them feeling even more unsettled .
