A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 171 Chapter 171 Lisettes eyes darkened slightly .

With K not being around , no one would believe Calliope anyway .

Since everyone was calling her Ks savior , she might as well own it .

Wow , I didnt expect you all to recognize me … I thought after all these years , people would have forgotten .

I wanted to keep it low key , so Im only wearing this gown now .

After all , K designed it especially for me .

I couldnt let it sit in the closet forever , could I ? Calliope raised an eyebrow , glancing at Lisette , who lied without a hint of guilt .

Many in the crowd praised Lisette , and she basked in their admiration with a beaming smile .

Ulysses stood nearby , catching Calliopes eye .

He knew full well that Calliope had given the dress to Lisette , meaning the gown was likely designed for Calliope by K.

Calliope met his gaze .

Then Ulysses shifted his attention back to the people below .

The dress truly belongs to Lisette .

She is indeed Ks savior .

Calliope muttered , Unbelievable .

She hadnt expected Ulysses to blatantly lie like that .

Ulysses , you saw me give the dress to Lisette , she said quietly , only loud enough for him to hear .

She knew they all sided with Lisette but hadnt imagined theyd go that far .

So what ? Ulysses narrowed his eyes , Youd better keep your mouth shut ! Do you think no one will ever know just because I stay silent ? Calliope shot back .

Its been so many years .

No one will bring it up , Ulysses replied coldly , glaring at her .

Im warning you .

If you embarrass Lisette , I wont make things easy for you ! Calliope looked at Ulysses , a slight smile curling her lips , which seemed to rile him up even more .

What are you smiling about ? Whats so funny ? he snapped .

Nothing , Calliope said , looking down at her shoes before glancing back up at Ulysses .

Just thinking how my good intentions were wasted .

Ulysses , do you really have no idea where your current fame comes from ? Of course , Lisette helped me ! Ulysses scoffed .

If she hadnt pleaded with the director , Id never have gotten that role .

Without it , I wouldnt be where I am today .

Are you trying to say my success is because of you ? What could you have possibly done to help me ? You cant even take care of yourself ! Do you think Director Zack would change his mind just because Lisette shed a few tears ? Calliopes laughter was incredulous as she looked at Ulysses .

When Ulysses was eyeing that role , it was perfect for him , but Zack hadnt decided on him because of a scandal Ulysses was involved in .

Later , she invested in the project and requested Zack to cast Ulysses .

But Ulysses never knew .

After she handled it and Zack confirmed the role for Ulysses , Lisette went to Zack , and Ulysses saw her pleading .

So he believed it was Lisettes plea that landed him the part .

That role was the stepping stone to his fame .

So Ulysses had always seen Lisette as his lucky charm , the one who helped him .

Calliope never wanted credit , so she didnt say anything at first .

Later , when things felt off , she did try to tell Ulysses .

But he never believed her , even mocking her instead .
