A group of burly guys stood behind Calliope , loyal to her as if she were their leader .

The more they listened , the angrier they got , each wearing a frown that threatened to break into a fight at any moment .

Even though Calliope told them not to confront the Jewell family , they were itching for a showdown .

If Lisette dares to come to our diner again , Ill kick her out myself ! A group of them shouted angrily at Valerian and his companion .

Despite her bravado , Zelda was a bit intimidated by the menacing crowd .

She stepped back a few paces , her eyes darting around before settling on Rafferty .

Among them , Rafferty looked somewhat refined , like a man in charge .

Are you the owner here ? Shouldnt you keep your people in line ? And as for her , shes nothing but trouble .

If you keep her working here , your diner will collapse soon ! Rafferty glanced at Zelda coldly .

Trouble ? Only you see her that way .

To us , shes a blessing .

Zelda looked at Rafferty in disbelief .

Besides , I cant fire her .

How could he fire his boss ? The place was hers .

The money came from her , and she hired them .

Hah , she must have something on you ! Zelda sneered , Using a bit of cunning to threaten people , no decency ! She was done talking to Calliope , her eyes scheming as she reached into her bag .

Her hand found the vial of holy water she brought along .

Calliope didnt speak , but her eyes followed Zeldas hand , aware of her sneaky plan .

As Valerian tried to stall for time , Calliope and Zelda moved almost simultaneously .

Zelda quickly retrieved the liquid , aiming to splash it on Calliope .

But Calliope moved like lightning .

No one saw what she did , but suddenly , she had Zeldas wrist in a firm grip , and with a swift motion , she turned the liquid back onto Zeldas head .

Zelda gave a startled scream .

Moments ago, she was the picture of a wealthy lady , hair perfectly styled , but then , she was utterly disheveled , completely drenched .

Mom ! Calliope , youve lost it ! Valerian snapped out of his shock and swung a slap at Calliope .
