Chapter 540: The Family of Harmony
In the following days, life was a little hectic for Calix, Leslie and Calliope.
CEO Xu was preoccupied with settling the urgent matters involving the company. He wished to free the entire Friday, the day before Andrian and Harper’s anniversary banquet.

As for Calliope...
The little dumpling was busy eating and playing as usual. She chirped happily once she learned that a few of her kindergarten friends were invited to the banquet alongside their parents.
Their customized dresses were perfectly crafted by Theresa Tan, now hanging inside their respective closets. Both Leslie and Calliope couldn’t wait to wear the beautiful dresses.
As the days went by, Calix and Leslie learned more about Nicholas and Daniel’s fate. The two men’s trials began this week with little possibility of being bailed out.
"Xander said they do not fare well in the detention center," Calix mentioned the issue to Leslie one night, "I think he did, or still does something to them."
Leslie was momentarily blank before the realization dawned on her. It seemed like Xander was still toying with Nicholas and Daniel despite the fact that the two men were already confined in the detention center.
Xander’s wrath toward Nicholas and Daniel was not only because of Calix but, Belinda. His younger cousin was utterly devastated after finding out she was simply a pawn in Nicholas’ game.
Belinda returned from her vacation to the news of Nicholas’ detainment. Xander revealed the important details to her.
