A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 120 Wow , thats amazing ! I knew you could do it .

Youre the best , Callie ! Calliope hung up the phone after chatting with Portia for a bit .

As she looked up , she saw Valerian and Zelda storming through the door , looking as if they were on a mission .

Zelda , especially , wore an expression of d and disapproval that could sour milk .

Calliope , why are you still working in this place ? Zelda huffed , her voice dripping with irritation .

Hanging around with this bunch of misfits as a waitress makes you happy ? How could you let yourself fall to this level ? Lisette is doing so well at the company , and you cant even find a decent job ? I bet you wouldnt have made it this far without the Jewell family .

Zelda glanced disdainfully around the bustling diner , her eyes landing on a group playing card in the corner .

Her gaze was filled with prejudice , looking like she was staring at something far beneath her .

The burly men and the bald guy paused their game , instinctively looking over at Zelda .

In an almost choreographed move , they all stood up .

Rafferty strolled over , too .

Everyone gathered behind Calliope , their eyes warily fixed on Zelda .

They knew who Zelda was Calliopes mother and though they wouldnt dare cross her , they wouldnt stand by and let her push Calliope around .

Calliope was important to them .

Each owed her a debt of gratitude they could never fully repay .

These folks each had a past , a story from the wrong side of the tracks .

Their presence alone was enough to change the atmosphere .

As they stood behind Calliope , her presence seemed to grow stronger , more formidable .

Calliope remained calm , lounging in her chair , her head slightly tilted back as she looked at Zelda .

Her gaze was lazy , and she asked coldly , If you dislike this diner so much , whyd you come here ? Calliope , do you seriously not know why were here ? Zelda barked , barely containing her anger .

What did you do to Lisette ? She was humiliated today because of you ! She was like a little princess , and now , thanks to you , shes been dragged through the mud .

How is she supposed to go on ? Zelda took an aggressive step forward , her hand twitching as if she wanted to slap Calliope .

What kind of spell did you cast on her ? Calliope , you better tell me what you did ! Calliope blinked , nonplussed .

Spell ? Seriously ? You expect me to believe anything you say ? Youre nothing but a liar .

How dare you tarnish Lisettes reputation ? Youre wicked , and now youre dragging Lisette down with you ! Having you was the biggest mistake of my life ! You should never have been born .

I shouldve ended it before you came into this world .

Zelda glared at Calliope , her words like daggers .

Calliope felt a sharp pain in her heart as if a needle had pricked it .

Her birth mother had spoken such words to her , her flesh and blood .

All for the sake of an adopted daughter , Zelda was willing to wish her own dead .

It was almost laughable .

07:22 Chapter 120 Calliope looked at Zelda with a bitter smile .

To you , Im a liar , the most wicked person alive ? Zelda , Im your biological daughter .

Yet youd rather believe an adopted daughter over anything I say ?
