Chapter 155
The bodyguards walked away, and Calliope stepped forward, glanced at Mia's swollen eyes, and instructed the others to leave.
Calliope walked in, closed the door, looked at the mess Mia had made in the room, and calmly nodded, "Not bad. If you want your grandfather, father, and Sylvester to know about this, you can keep crying. I don't mind."
As she spoke, Calliope squatted down next to Mia and added, "But if that happens, I can't guarantee that your secrets will stay hidden."
Mia was baffled. What was Calliope up to now? She looked at Calliope with a face full of doubt.
Calliope took a deep breath. Are teenage girls really this naive?
Calliope slowly squatted down and sat on the carpet next to Mia, patiently saying, "Crying now, what will it change? Can crying your heart out turn back time and make it as if it never happened? What you need to think about now is how to make those things disappear, so you have no worries."
"Disappear? How?" Mia knew she could only rely on Calliope now, and Calliope seemed very confident.
"Find those people and delete all the videos and photos, make them disappear completely!" Calliope said seriously. She had been thinking about this for days, knowing those people would likely want more money and wouldn't release the photos immediately, considering the Moore family was wealthy and could be extorted. Besides, she wanted Mia to learn a lesson and be more cautious in the future.
Or perhaps, this could also serve as leverage against Mia, which might come in handy within the Moore family later.
Hearing Calliope's words, Mia believed Calliope could handle everything, so she felt relieved. Calliope had someone come in to clean up the room and help Mia freshen up.
Life in the Moore family returned to normal. Mia, now under Calliope's control, naturally became more restrained and respectful towards her.
A few peaceful days passed. Calliope had planned to resolve the issue while they were away, but Sylvester and the others had already returned.
That afternoon.
Mia knew Sylvester and the others were back and was very nervous, afraid they would find out. After much hesitation, she still went out.
"Calliope!" Mia deliberately walked past Calliope's door and called out to her as she was about to go downstairs.
Calliope stopped and stood still.
Mia quickly approached, glaring at Calliope with a fierce expression, "My dad and the others are back. I warn you, you are not allowed to reveal anything about that day!"
Mia was so nervous that she started to tremble. Calliope smiled. She wasn't that kind of person. Besides, since Mia had come to her, she might as well make a condition.
"Why are you smiling?" Mia's initial fierceness disappeared at Calliope's smile.
Calliope pushed Mia's arm away and said, "I won't say anything, but I have a condition."
"What condition?"
"Give me your sports car in exchange." Calliope was straightforward. She had to think about herself. The Moore family hadn't given her a penny during this time, and she might need it for emergencies in the future. After all, money is still essential in this society.
"Deal!" Mia agreed without hesitation. At this moment, she just wanted to cover up the matter quickly and would agree to any condition. However, Mia added, "But I have one more condition. You have to help me delete all those photos and videos!"
"As long as you cooperate, I promise you!"
The deal was made. Mia felt relieved, and Calliope could also relax a bit. That sports car was worth at least a hundred or eighty thousand dollars.
After their conversation, they went downstairs one after the other. However, once downstairs, the butler informed them that Michael and John had social engagements that evening and wouldn't be home for dinner.
Calliope frowned. Michael and John? What about Sylvester?
She wanted to ask the butler but decided against it. If he wasn't coming back, she could have some peace, and Mia wouldn't be so tense.
In the dining room, Calliope planned to eat well and then go upstairs for a good sleep. Now that they were back, she could sleep peacefully without worrying about anything scaring her.
But halfway through the meal, Jenny came running in from the living room with a phone, "Mrs. Moore, Mr. Sylvester Moore called. He said he needs to talk to you."
Talk to her? Sylvester came back from his trip and didn't even come home. What could he want now?
Frowning, Calliope took the phone from Jenny, "Hello."
"Find my suitcase. There's a small gift box inside. Bring it to SK International Hotel!"
On the phone, Sylvester was brief. Before Calliope could respond, he hung up.
"How rude!" Calliope muttered as she put the phone back on the table. Looking at the delicious food, her appetite was ruined by Sylvester.
Jenny, seeing Calliope's angry expression, cautiously asked, "Mrs. Moore, what's wrong?"
"Where's Sylvester's suitcase?" Calliope asked directly. Although she was reluctant, she knew she had to go.
Jenny brought Sylvester's suitcase. Calliope opened it and searched for a while before finding the box.
What could be so valuable to be in such an expensive box? Calliope muttered as she opened it.
Wow!
So beautiful!
So stunning!
As soon as she opened it, Calliope was amazed. A diamond bracelet. Although she didn't know much about diamonds, she could tell from the cut that it was valuable. The craftsmanship seemed to match her engagement ring, likely made by the same person.
"This bracelet is so beautiful," Jenny said, thinking it must be a gift from Sylvester to Calliope. She was genuinely happy for Calliope.
"Mr. Sylvester Moore still thinks of Mrs. Moore," Ava added after glancing at it.
"Yes, it is beautiful," Calliope said, thinking about how Sylvester had asked her to bring it to SK International Hotel. Could it be that her words that night had moved him?
Thinking this, Calliope didn't hesitate to take it out and put it on her wrist. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. Under the light, it sparkled brilliantly.
Calliope got ready and asked the butler to arrange a car to take her to SK International Hotel happily.
