A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 172 Ulysses felt that she was inferior to Lisette in every way , so how could she help him ? He had been riding high these past few years , partly thanks to Calliope .

She had some connections in the entertainment world and owned her company .

Though she rarely made public appearances , she wielded some influence .

Once upon a time , she thought that as his sister , she ought to help him if she could .

But she didnt see it that way anymore .

Not after the time she was on the brink of death , desperate for help , and no one came .

Not after she died , and instead of mourning , they acted like her passing was a relief .

She was utterly disillusioned with them .

So from now on , she wouldnt lift a finger to help Ulysses .

Whats with your attitude ? If it werent for Lisette pleading , do you think Id even have this opportunity ? Ulysses snapped .

Youre just jealous of Lisette .

Shes a good person , and you cant stand it .

Calliope remained calm , her expression indifferent as she looked at Ulysses .

Then let Lisette pave your way forward .

She turned her gaze to Lisette , a smirk playing on her lips as she called out , Lisette , I dont mind giving you the dress , but dont you think its a bit inappropriate to claim its yours ? Calliope ! Ulysses eyes shot daggers at her , full of warning .

Valerian and the others turned their attention toward her , their eyes filled with disapproval .

They were signaling her to keep quiet .

But Calliope wouldnt be silenced .

She shrugged and said , This dress was a gift from K to me .

You said you wanted to wear something by K , and I had it , so I brought it for you .

But lets not pretend the credit is yours .

Do you even know K ? Have you ever saved Ks life ? Wow ! Dang , this is some spicy drama ! Ms.

Calliopes usually so meek and mild .

Whats gotten into her today ? Why does this feel kind of exciting ? Wait , did Calliope really give her that dress ? Its possible .

I remember someone attended Calliopes birthday party on the top floor yesterday , and she wore a dress K designed .

Shes wearing another K design today , but its a different style .

So , Calliope does have quite a few of Ks dresses ! Ks designs are hard to come by ; if she has them , it means shes got some pull ! Well , this is interesting .

Lisette says shes Ks lifesaver and got a dress designed for her , and Calliope says she gifted the dress and saved K herself ! I love a good sister showdown ! So , whose dress is it ? Id bet its Lisettes .

Calliope doesnt have the best reputation , after all .

The crowd buzzed with speculation .

Some sided with Calliope , others with Lisette .

Some even placed bets .

Portia and a few others approached , visibly upset even from the edge of the room .

They knew the dress was indeed Calliopes , given to Lisette under pressure from the Jewell family .

1/2 Chapter 172 Lisette claiming the credit was a bold move they hadnt anticipated .

How could she be so shameless ? And the most outrageous part ? The Jewell family knew the truth but chose to back Lisette anyway ! Lisette , have you no shame ? You dont even know K , and youre claiming you saved his life ? Portia burst out .

… Lisette looked down , feigning hurt .

She glanced at Calliope , as if holding back tears , biting her lip before speaking with a choked voice , Fine , whatever Callie says , let it be .

Lets say this dress is a gift from her .
