Chapter 54 If Calliope married her son , so naturally , she thought she could handle any future daughter in law issues with ease .
Worst case scenario , she figured , she could secure her shares and then orchestrate a divorce .
After all , it was tough for a woman to find a new partner post divorce , but someone as exceptional as Gideon ? Hed have no problem .
Fleur tried to keep her composure , forcing a smile that was more pitiful than pleasant .
I was wrong before , and Im here to apologize ! Just a verbal apology ? Calliope pouted .
Words dont mean much to me .
Surely , a nice gift is in order , right ? A little compensation for emotional damages ? Youve hurt me , and Ive been dispirited for quite a while ! She looked at Fleur , then at Gideon .
You think a simple sorry suffices after causing so much distress ? Shows a lack of sincerity .
With gritted teeth , Fleur reluctantly pulled out her phone .
Alright , I was wrong .
I apologize .
Heres a little something for you ! She transferred a thousand dollars to Calliope .
Calliope glanced at the screen .
What is this , some pocket change ? Fleur was on the verge of losing her cool , but Gideon held her back .
She forced another smile and transferred twenty thousand dollars to Calliope .
Only then did Calliope beam , Thanks , I wont be shy about accepting it .
Consider it my emotional damages payment .
After that , she turned her gaze to Gideon .
And you ? Gideon took a deep breath .
Callie , all my money is yours .
Whatever you want , Ill give it to you .
I dont need much .
Just compensate me for the years of anguish .
Lets say fifty thousand a year for five years … thats two hundred fifty thousand , but that doesnt sound right .
Lets round it to three hundred thousand .
Calliope smiled sweetly .
You ! Fleur was fuming , thinking Calliope was being outrageously greedy .
Alright , Ill give it to you .
Gideon quickly made the transfer , and soon enough , Calliope received the confirmation .
Pleased , she nodded .
Alright , I forgive you for all the past grievances ! And what about you guys ? Calliope turned to face the rest .

Now that Im here , shouldnt I get a cut ? Her bright eyes shifted from Zelda to Monty , then to Lisette .
Montys eyelid twitched .
How much do you want ? If it wasnt for the sake of keeping her and Gideon together , he wouldnt even consider giving her money .
Calliope raised her hand , showing five fingers .
At least this much .
Theyve already given me over three hundred thousand .
Youre my real parents ; it cant be less than that , right ? Monty was speechless .
Youre asking for an absurd amount ! Zelda was livid .
What contribution have you made ? Why should we give you so much ? Lisette has worked tirelessly for the company without asking for nearly that much ! 1/2 09:41 Chapter 54 Worked tirelessly or worked to bleed the company dry ? Calliopes lips curled upward .
It was as if she could see right through Lisette .
Lisettes heart lurched .
Calliope had barely set foot in the company .
