A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 189 The crowd whispered , yet no one dared to step in and help .

A few people in the group recognized Calliope and began to murmur .

Isnt that the heiress of the Jewell family ? It looks like shes being scammed ! Thats rough .

Could this couple be doing it on purpose ? They must be trying to scam her ! By the way , I saw Ms.

Lisette with the three Jewell brothers here earlier .

They seemed to be just watching the show .

With a glance toward Lisette and her brothers , the onlookers confirmed their presence and felt less inclined to intervene .

No one wanted to cross the Jewell family .

If they werent stepping in , why should anyone else ? Portia , however , found the situation amusingly absurd .

Call the cops ? You two must be con artists ! Callie tried to help you , and now , you want to report her ? You deserve whatever misery youre in .

Dont go too far , lady .

Be honest , did Callie do anything to you ? Calliope observed the pair calmly .

She hadnt expected her attempt to help would get twisted like this .

She scrutinized the woman , curiosity in her eyes .

She wasnt worried about the police being called .

After all , she had only kicked the man lightly , enough to make a scene but not to cause harm .

The woman glanced at her husband and then at Calliope , launching into a tirade .

It was you ! You hit me and my husband ! My husband is hurt , and you owe us money ! Listen , you hag , Ill give you a chance .

Pay us thirty grand , and well let this slide without calling the cops ! the man threatened .

Calliope smirked , Thirty grand ? Thats all ? Oh , so youre loaded , huh ? How much are you willing to pay ? The man sneered , thinking Calliope was a fool .

He was bluffing , assuming the crowd wouldnt get involved .

Hed pulled this stunt many times before .

At least a million , right ? Anything less , and youre not thinking big enough for a scam ! Calliope mused , resting her chin on her hand .

The mans eyes gleamed , Seriously ? You can pay a million ? Of course , a million in Monopoly money .

I can have someone bring it to you now , Calliope replied with a sly grin .

What did you say ? The man questioned , unsure if he heard correctly .

A million in Monopoly money , Calliope retorted , her eyes glinting with disdain .

You witch , you think you can fool me ? The mans earlier smugness evaporated into anger , and he lunged at Calliope .

Portia burst into laughter , and the crowd , initially confused , joined in .

A million in Monopoly money , brilliant ! This Ms.

Jewell is quite something ! Shes got guts , not scared at all .

But if this man and woman keep pushing her , she might be in over her head , someone remarked , their gaze drifting toward Ulysses and his brothers , who watched the scene unfold , frowning but silent .

After a moment , Lisette said , Callie might make him angrier .

She shouldnt have done that !
