Chapter 156
Calliope happily headed to the hotel, her hand constantly touching the bracelet. She really liked it, and what made her even happier was Sylvester's thoughtfulness.
She hadn't felt this warm inside for a long time.
With these thoughts, Calliope went upstairs and knocked on the door of the room Sylvester had mentioned.
"Coming, coming."
Someone quickly opened the door, but something was off. How could it be?
Calliope looked at the person who opened the door, her smile freezing on her face. How could it be a woman?
Didn't Sylvester ask her to bring the bracelet to have dinner with her? Could it be that he wanted her to see him fooling around with another woman?
Was this playboy really so incorrigible?
Calliope felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a knife, it hurt so much, and her mood plummeted from heaven to hell.
"Who are you?" The woman who opened the door looked at Calliope, with a big belly, frowned for a moment, and then said, "Are you Sylvester's wife?"
She was very direct. Calliope smiled bitterly; she knew Sylvester had a wife.
Calliope took a deep breath and replied, "Yes."
"Come in, Sylvester is taking a shower."
Sylvester? She called him so intimately. What exactly was their relationship?
Idiot, another voice in Calliope's head said, they've already reached the point of getting a hotel room, and you're still wondering about their relationship? Do you still fantasize that Sylvester and she are just friends?
Yes, maybe they are just friends.
Just as she had this thought, she saw Sylvester coming out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, with water dripping from his hair onto his shoulders. Seeing Calliope standing at the door, he directly asked, "Where's the gift box I asked you to bring?"
Calliope then realized, thinking about the bracelet on her hand, it was obviously not for her. But if she took it off now, what dignity would she have left? She had to force herself to say, "I was in a hurry and forgot to bring it."
At this moment, the woman, Dione Saunders, the daughter of a high-ranking official, recently Winner Group was bidding for a piece of land with high commercial value, and the competing companies were very strong. Sylvester had no choice but to use Dione. The bracelet was not for Calliope, it was for Dione.
The gift for Calliope was not in that box.
Dione stood aside with her arms crossed, looking at Calliope's innocent face, sneering and mocking, and said, "So you're Sylvester's wife. I thought you were some beautiful woman. I didn't expect you to look like this and be pregnant. No wonder Sylvester doesn't like you and comes to me." As she spoke, she clung to Sylvester's arm, deliberately showing off in front of Calliope.
"Sylvester, isn't that right?"
Calliope already felt humiliated enough, and Dione added insult to injury, mocking her and flirting with Sylvester. Calliope had had enough.
She turned to leave, not wanting Sylvester to see the tears in her eyes. She felt Sylvester was too much. It was bad enough he brought women home, but today he even asked her to bring something to the hotel.
Calliope walked slowly forward, unable to hold back her tears. Did Sylvester really not care about her feelings at all?
Even if he had no feelings for her, he shouldn't trample on her dignity like this.
Just as Calliope was about to reach the door, Sylvester quickly stepped forward, grabbed Calliope's hand, and stared at the bracelet on her wrist, his eyes fierce. "Didn't you say you didn't bring it? What's this?"
Sylvester almost shouted. Calliope didn't expect him to see it, feeling like a vain thief. She felt even more embarrassed but didn't turn around, not wanting anyone to see her tears.
"You took someone else's bracelet and wore it yourself, and lied that you forgot to bring it. That's stealing. You really have no shame," Dione said, looking at the bracelet on Calliope's hand, mocking and sarcastically.
The whole scene made Calliope feel like a caught thief, standing there, not knowing how to explain the bracelet. Should she say she thought it was a gift from Sylvester? Wouldn't that be too self-indulgent?
Rather than letting them know her self-indulgent thoughts, it was better to say nothing!
But if she didn't speak, Dione continued, "I know your family is poor, your father gambles, drinks, and does drugs. But now that you're married into the Moore family, you should behave yourself. Don't embarrass Sylvester. If others find out, they'll think the Moore family doesn't provide for you, and you have to steal!"
Calliope initially wanted to let it go, but hearing Dione's words, she became furious. She shook off Sylvester's hand, looked at him with disappointment, tore off the bracelet, and angrily threw it on the ground, saying to Dione, "Here's what you wanted. If you can't wear it, let Sylvester buy you a new one. The Moore family has plenty of money!"
After saying this, Calliope turned and walked out, leaving Dione and Sylvester in shock.
Sylvester didn't expect Calliope to be so fierce, tearing such an expensive bracelet.
Dione felt humiliated and immediately teared up, holding Sylvester's hand and looking at the ground with grievance. But at this moment, Sylvester was also flustered.
Calliope left the hotel, not getting into the driver's car. She wiped her tears and walked along the roadside. Late at night, a woman seven or eight months pregnant, every passerby looked at her curiously.
She felt like a monkey being watched by everyone.
If she had known it would be like this, she should have been more resolute and not returned to the Moore manor with Sylvester. Her life might have been better, not luxurious, but at least without so many grievances.
Her current life felt oppressive, facing the supernatural events at the Moore manor every day, helping Mia with difficult matters, and being mocked by Sylvester with other women.
How many times had it been? Since she returned to the Moore manor, Sylvester brought different women home every few days, and she endured it.
The most ridiculous thing was, she thought the bracelet was for her today, without a doubt.
But after that nightmare, she thought Sylvester had forgiven her, believed she didn't really want him dead, and thought the tormenting days were almost over.
But now, it seemed like it was all coming back.
