A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 183 The news of Calliope breaking ties with the Jewell family spread like wildfire , Everyone was talking about it , predicting life would be tough for Calliope without the Jewell familys support .

Some even speculated that without them , Silas wouldnt treat Calliope well , But Calliope didnt pay much attention to these rumors .

Her mind was occupied with thoughts of her past life , when her best friend Portias family faced a downfall , leaving Portia , once a wealthy heiress , to face the cruelty of the world alone .

Determined to prevent history from repeating itself , Calliope arranged a meeting with Portias father , Fintan Sutton .

Fintan , Ive asked you here because theres something crucial that I need to discuss with you , Calliope began , her expression serious as she sat across from him .

It might sound unbelievable , but I hope youll heed my warning .

I dont want anything to happen to the Sutton family .

You know how close Portia and I are .

I wouldnt be here if I didnt care .

Fintan , who had agreed to meet Calliope mostly because his daughter insisted , was expecting her to ask for a favor .

Instead , she was predicting trouble for his family .

Naturally , hearing someone say your family is in danger is unsettling .

Fintans first reaction was disbelief .

The Sutton familys business had always been solid and united .

How could there be any trouble ? Callie , I know youre fond of Portia , he said , trying to sound reassuring .

And I trust you wouldnt deceive me .

But saying somethings going to happen to us doesnt sit right .

Our company is well managed , and my son Crispin and I are competent .

Not to brag , but were better at running a company than your father , Monty .

Fintan chuckled , attempting to lighten the mood .

Anyway , I appreciate your concern .

Do you have anything else to discuss ? If not , I have some meetings to attend .

He reached for his phone but then paused , looking at Calliope .

Callie , let me send you some spending money .

Ive heard about your situation .

Portia complains about your parents all the time .

Its a shame that they chose that ungrateful girl over you .

If you ever need anything , consider me a second father .

Crispin and I care about you .

Calliope felt a wave of gratitude wash over her .

The Sutton family had always treated her with kindness , thanks to Portia , and she cherished them deeply .

Thank you , Fintan , but please hear me out , okay ? Calliope implored , her eyes sincere .

Seeing her earnestness , Fintan sighed and sat back down .

Alright , Callie , Im listening , he said patiently despite the ominous subject .

Even though talk of misfortune was unsettling , he couldnt find it in himself to dismiss her concerns outright .
