Chapter 788
Just then, out of nowhere, Zelda suddenly appeared. She spotted her youngest son talking with Calliope and a
few others. She had no clue what was going on, but saw a crowd on Calliope's side and her son standing there
alone. Instantly, she jumped to conclusions: her poor boy must be getting picked on.
Without a second thought, Zelda stormed over. She immediately started yelling.
"Calliope, what are you doing? Are you bullying Uly? He's your brother for heaven's sake! Are you ganging up on
him with those random guys?"
Zelda was absolutely furious, hurling accusations at Calliope without a pause. She even protectively stepped in
front of Ulysses, glaring daggers at Calliope as if she were the Big Bad Wolf.
Calliope just stood there, at a total loss for words.
Sometimes, when you're so speechless, all you can do is laugh.
She hadn't even opened her mouth before Zelda launched her verbal attack. And what the heck did she mean by
"random guys"?
"Mom, please just stop!" Ulysses blurted out, completely caught off guard by Zelda's outburst.
He was mortified.
"I'm fine. Callie's not bullyingat all. Please, go back to your room. | need to talk to Callie alone."
"Actually, you should apologize to her first! She didn't do anything wrong and you just accused her out of

Ulysses frowned at Zelda, suddenly seeing things much more clearly.
It hit him. Zelda hadn't even asked what happened, she just jumped to blCalliope.
Thinking about it, Callie must feel pretty crappy about this. It's always the same: no matter what Callie does,
their mom finds fault with her.
But if Lisette did the exact sthing, Zelda would act like she'd invented sliced bread. She was shamelessly
biased.
The crazy part? She wasn't favoring her biological daughter. She was doting on her adopted one.
Ulysses tried to imagine how he'd feel if he were the biological child and his mom acted like this towards an
adopted daughter. He'd probably have packed his bags and left ages ago. He definitely wouldn't waste his breath
on it.
But cto think of it, Callie always tried to patch things up with their mom, no matter how unfair it was.
Comparing the two, Callie really tugged at your heartstrings.
Ulysses furrowed his brow, looking at Zelda with a seriousness she wasn't used to. "Mom, you owe Callie an
apology, not just for today, but for a lot of things you've done in the past. You shouldn't treat Callie this way.
She's your daughter, for crying out loud!"
"What are you talking about? Have you lost your mind?" Zelda stared at Ulysses like he'd grown two heads. She
couldn't believe he was defending Calliope, insisting she apologize. He'd never done that before.
"You really have hurt her, Mom.
You've made her miserable. You

Calliope was speechless.
What did she do? She hadn't even had a chance to say a word!
Calliope couldn't be bothered to argue. She had no clue what kind of mood swing Ulysses was having, so she
simply headed inside.
Silas and the others naturally followed, all of them filing into the hotel together. They waited at the elevator.
