A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 123 The slap that was supposed to land never did .

It hovered mid air instead .

Rafferty and the other guys were ready to jump in , but none of them moved , because Calliope had intercepted Valerians hand .

She held onto Valerians wrist effortlessly .

Even though her arm was much slimmer than his , her strength was something else entirely .

Valerian tried to pull away , his face turning red from the effort , but Calliopes grip didnt budge an inch .

His arm was completely immobilized .

He stared at Calliope , shocked and incredulous .

How could she be this strong ? She was a girl ; his strength should easily surpass hers , right ? Gritting his teeth , Valerian tried even harder , but it was like trying to move a steel clamp .

He couldnt shift her grip one bit .

Calliope looked at him , unimpressed , as if she wasnt exerting any effort .

Valerian was getting frustrated .

How could he not be stronger than his sister ? Meanwhile , Zelda was on the brink of losing it .

The liquid shed meant to throw at Calliope had ended up all over herself instead , drenching her from head to toe .

Her brand new outfit was ruined , and she was nearly hysterical .

Calliope , you will regret this ! Is this how you treat your mother ? Zelda screamed , her anger boiling as she raised her hand to slap Calliope .

But before she could swing , a figure darted in and caught her wrist .

Rafferty and the others , who were about to intervene , froze when they saw who it was .

Silas stood there , his hand lightly grasping Zeldas wrist .

He didnt exert much force , but it was enough to stop Zelda in her tracks .

Dressed in a perfectly tailored suit , he exuded an aura that seemed to chill the air around him .

His eyes , filled with a cold fury , fixed on Zelda .

She was about to hurl insults but faltered under Silass intense gaze .

Mr.

Myers … Zelda , getting physical isnt a great habit , Silas said, his voice calm but icy .

Especially not with my wife .

He released Zeldas wrist , his gaze still piercingly cold .

Calliope hadnt expected Silas to show up so suddenly .

She quickly released Valerians wrist and , feigning innocence , hid behind Silas .

Honey , they were bullying me , she said , her voice full of pretend hurt .

The word honey made Silass heart flutter slightly .

He looked at Calliope with deep , thoughtful eyes , knowing how strong she was , yet still wanting to protect her .

Valerian looked at Calliope incredulously , glancing down at his wrist , which now bore a ring of bruises from her grip .

And she claimed they were bullying her ? Where had they even touched her ? Valerian was livid , his face flushed with anger .

Zeldas expression was equally unpleasant as she turned to Silas , saying , Mr.

Myers , do you think shes fit to 1/2 07.24 Chapter 123 be your wife ? Shes a jinx , a disaster just waiting to happen .

Shes not only dumb but malicious , and shell only bring you trouble ! Surely you know her reputation is terrible .
