A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 148 She was surrounded by a crowd , her face lit up with a radiant smile , and even her eyes seemed to be sparkling with joy .

The three brothers stood awkwardly at the door .

Their brows furrowed as if the sight of Calliope was like a splinter in their eye .

Horatio remembered the times when Calliope celebrated her birthday with Lisette .

She never seemed this happy .

But right then , she looked blissful .

She was with her three brothers , her siblings from the countryside .

She seemed genuinely happy with them .

A peculiar discomfort settled in Horatios heart , and his frown deepened .

Ulysses chuckled dryly , She didnt invite us for her birthday .

It seems like she doesnt recognize us as her brothers anymore .

We werent that bad to her , were we ? Now that she has those brothers and a husband , shes forgotten about the Jewell family , huh ? Thinks shes some Cinderella now ? Valerian wore a scowl of dissatisfaction , Shes changed .

Nigel approached Calliope with a gift , offering it to her before whispering a few words .

Only then did Calliope notice the Jewell brothers standing at the doorway .

Many in the banquet hall had turned their attention to the Jewell brothers .

Well , isnt it the Jewell brothers ? Did you come to wish Callie a happy birthday ? Oh wait , you didnt even bring a gift , did you ? Portia said , her voice dripping with mockery .

Her words drew everyones gaze toward the brothers at the door , probing and curious .

Valerian and his siblings turned red with embarrassment , frozen in place .

Calliope hadnt expected them to show up but effortlessly figured out their real reason .

They certainly werent here to celebrate her birthday or to offer any warm wishes .

They were probably there about Lisettes birthday party the following day .

Their enthusiasm for Lisettes birthday was always over the top .

Silas stood beside Calliope , eyeing Valerian and the others with a hint of frostiness .

He hadnt invited them , which made them uninvited guests .

Callie , we need to talk , Horatio finally broke the silence .

Silas stepped forward , instinctively protective , but Calliope lightly tugged on his sleeve .

Silas , Ill go talk to them .

You stay and keep the party going .

With that , Calliope walked toward the trio .

Under the lights , her dress , adorned with tiny crystals , shimmered like a fairys gown .

She was regal , elegant , exuding a princess like aura , breathtakingly beautiful .

Valerian and his brothers were momentarily stunned by her appearance .

Valerian , however , was more fixated on Calliopes dress .

If Lisette wore it , shed undoubtedly look even better .

He recognized the design was from the famous international designer K , whose dresses were rare treasures .

Yet there was Calliope , effortlessly draped in one of Ks designs , a dress Lisette had always desired but never obtained .

Valerians eyes narrowed sharply .

They always saved the best for Lisette .

After all , Lisette was the youngest among them .

But here was Calliope , wearing what Lisette most coveted .

What do you want to say ? Calliope asked , looking at the three of them .

I doubt youre here to wish me a happy birthday .
