A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 186 Whether theyd regret it later was none of Calliopes concern .

She was sure she wouldnt be .

Calliope and Portia settled into a booth at the dimly lit bar , sipping their cocktails and scoping out the attractive men scattered throughout the room .

There were quite a few lookers under the soft glow of the bar lights .

The two of them began to playfully rate the men around them .

That one over there is hot , and oh boy , that one is a total catch ! Portias eyes sparkled as she spotted a man in the corner .

Wow , hes got such a presence! Following Portias gaze , Calliopes face fell .

It was him ! Portia , hes not that handsome .

He looks dangerous .

Trust me .

Stay away from him ! But hes exactly my type ! Ive got a bit of a thing for him already ! Portia got intrigued by the man in the corner .

He wore a blue silk shirt , with a lock of hair artfully falling over one eye , adding an air of mystery and uniqueness .

A dangerous aura seemed to envelop him .

Calliope rubbed her temples .

In another life , Portia had suffered a lot because of this man .

She hadnt expected to run into him here .

Arent you into the sunshine kind of guy ? This ones more gloomy and brooding .

Calliope said sternly , And isnt there still a chance you might patch things up with your current boyfriend ? Oh please , with someone better around , who would go back ? Portia said enthusiastically , Callie , hold my drink .

Ill go get his number ! With that , Portia walked toward the mysterious man .

Calliope sighed .

She watched as Portia sat down beside the man , who barely acknowledged her , while Portia chatted away with her usual cheerful demeanor .

Calliope thought back to some events from her past life , when Portias life had taken a nosedive .

But that was because her family had run into trouble , giving this man leverage over her .

If nothing was wrong with the Suttons now , things should be different .

Portia had only fallen for this man because of what happened to her family .

But with everything fine at home , this was probably just a fleeting crush .

Thinking this , Calliope felt a bit more at ease .

She turned away , only to be startled by a commotion nearby .

A woman was suddenly shoved before her by a man , knocking over Calliopes drink onto the floor .

Calliope frowned , taking in the situation .

The woman looked desperate .

Please , help me ! The woman clung to Calliope , her neck marked with bruises , her body covered in injuries , looking utterly miserable .

Calliope didnt say anything at first .

She just frowned and looked up .

The man who had pushed the woman had a cruel , sneering face .

He looked familiar to Calliope somehow .

Stay out of it ! The man held a beer bottle menacingly , his voice dripping with venom .

Didnt I tell you not to work ? Are you trying to find some other guy ? And you have the nerve to come to a bar ? Is this the place for you ? I I just wanted to earn some money … Please , dont hit me anymore .

Im sorry ! Miss , please help me .

I dont want to die .

Hell kill me ! The woman clung desperately to Calliope , hiding behind her as if her life depended on it .
