A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter Chapter 115 It was a typical Monday , and Kirin Fondue was bustling with the usual crowd .

Calliope was helping out by serving dishes , and as she approached the table by the window , she noticed Lisette sitting there .

Her brow furrowed slightly , but she didnt let it show as she set down the dish shed been carrying .

Ignoring Lisette , she was about to turn and continue with her work when Lisette called out , Arent you going to sit with me for a moment ? Ive got some things to discuss with you .

Calliope paused briefly , then turned and sat across from Lisette , leaning back in her chair with her hands in her pockets , exuding a casual defiance .

What is it ? she asked .

What do you want to talk about ? Lisette gave Calliope a once over , smugness flickering in her eyes .

You seem to be enjoying your time as a waitress , Calliope .

Even after becoming Mrs.

Myers , youre still here .

Didnt Silas give you any spending money ? Calliope shrugged .

Im not like you , Lisette .

I dont need to rely on a man for money .

Lisette shook her head .

Thats where youre wrong .

I believe a woman should be as successful as possible to marry rich .

I make my own money , and Im marrying into wealth .

Calliope glanced at her .

So , are you here to share your ambitious plans with me ? Of course not , Lisette replied .

Im here to tell you that Valerian knows you saved him back then .

But he said hed still stand by me .

So dont think you can stir up trouble .

Even if it goes public , hell be on my side over yours .

Valerian cares more for me than he ever will for you , Lisette added triumphantly , watching for any distress d Calliopes face .

But as the seconds ticked by , Calliope remained unfazed , neither disappointed nor hysterical .

Are you done ? Calliope asked evenly .

Youre not upset ? Lisette narrowed her eyes , frustration bubbling inside her .

Why should I be upset ? I dont expect anything from Valerian .

Hes your brother , not mine .

Calliope shrugged again .

Oh , and thanks for helping me see who cares about me .

Lisette fumed silently while her eyes bore into Calliope .

If Valerian couldnt provoke her , perhaps Gideon would .

Calliope , theres something you probably dont know , Lisette said with a sly grin .

Gideon is getting married .

To Yvette .

Calliope remained as calm as ever , her gaze steady on Lisette .

So ? Lisette had hoped for an outburst , but Calliope just sat there , composed and unbothered .

The excitement on Lisettes face faltered .

How could Calliope be so calm ? Why wasnt she angry ? Gideons marrying Yvette , and youre not upset? Not even a little sad ? Come on , Calliope , stop pretending .

Everyone knows you loved Gideon and wanted to marry him .

You only ended up with Silas because Gideon wasnt around , right ? Arent you even a bit rattled ? Calliope smirked .

Why should I be sad ? Gideons no longer my problem .

Im free to be with my husband without any drama .

Isnt that a good thing ? 1/2 07.02 Chapter 1 Whats the matter , Lisette ? Are you disappointed Im not upset ? Were you hoping Id be angry ?
