Chapter 459
The next day, Calliope headed straight to the Jewell Group. She arrived at the office fairly early. Franco had just
arrived as well, but Monty was nowhere to be seen, and Horahadn’t showed up either.
Calliope quickly dialed Monty’s number and gave him a good talking to, prompting him to rush to the office.
As she walked alongside Franco, they discussed swork-related matters. She looked every bit the
professional. People in the company greeted her warmly as she passed.
“Hey, Calliope!”
“Why are you calling her that? She’s the Chairwoman now!”
“Morning, everyone,” Calliope replied with a nod and a smile. She had this aura about her that made people feel
a certain distance, yet there was an approachable warmth that drew them in, instilling both admiration and a
touch of reverence.

“Ms. Jewell, | took hsof the food you ordered from the Pearl Tiger Club yesterday. My wife said it was
delicious. Thank you!”
“Yeah, my daughter loved it too. Thank you! It’s something we could never afford on our own. Just for that meal,
I'll work harder than ever for this company!”
“Shere! Thanks, Ms. Jewell!”
“I promise | won't slack off anymore. I'll be more diligent from now on!”
Calliope smiled and said, “As long as everyone works hard, there'll be opportunities for more treats in the future.
Not just treats, but also shefty bonuses waiting for you all. Rest assured, the company’s benefits will only
keep improving!”
Hearing Calliope’s words, everyone felt a surge of excitement. It was clear they were filled with newfound
confidence.
Never before had they experienced such perks, which kept motivation low. But now, with Calliope at the helm,
they genuinely wished well for the company.
They knew Calliope was a woman of her word. She wasn’t the type to make empty promises. The food from the
Pearl Tiger Club was pricey, yet she treated them and even packed sto go. So, any future rewards would
surely be equally genuine.
Realizing this, everyone felt even more inclined to put in their best effort.
After discussing a few more things with Franco, the elevator reached their office floor.
Calliope entered her office. She was pleasantly surprised to see the office had been revamped. The space had
undergone a simple transformation to match her style.
She figured Monty and the others presumably had a hand in this. It wasn’t surprising; she knew they were trying
to curry favor. Regardless of their motivations, at least they were trying to make her comfortable.
After settling in and working for a bit, Monty and Horafinally arrived, and she convened a meeting with the
upper management.
The execs were well aware of Calliope’s competence by now. No one dared oppose her, except for a few who had

Calliope’s wrath, and thus were on their best behavior.
“Calliope, who do you think you are, firinglike this!”
“My son has done nothing wrong. He's been nothing but diligent. Why should he be fired?”
“Monty, look at the mess your useless daughter is making. Aren't you going to do something?”

“Monty, you said my son could stay. You acknowledged my contributions as a founding member, and now this?
Believeor not, | could just walk away.”
The ones who had been let go or demoted were fuming with anger.
