A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

2 Chapter 192 Chapter 192 Gideon stood there , not saying a word , his eyes fixed on Calliope like he was trying to see through her .

But Calliope couldnt care less about what Gideon thought .

Im not in the mood for drinks anymore .

How about we head back ? Calliope suggested to Portia .

Sounds good to me .

What a buzzkill , Portia replied , scrunching her nose in annoyance .

She grabbed her purse , casting a deliberate glare Gideons way .

Gideon frowned , his expression a mix of confusion and frustration as he watched Calliope .

He wondered , What can Callie have that I dont know about ? Is Portia trying to mess with me ? Calliope isnt a woman of mystery .

What kind of skills could she hide ? The thought irked Gideon , but then he shook it off .

Theyd been friends for ages .

There were no secrets between them .

That little stunt with hacking into the surveillance ? Probably , it was just something she picked up somewhere , nothing too impressive .

Meanwhile , Lisette and her brothers had been waiting for the moment when Calliope would be carted off by the police .

Surely , if she was taken away , shed come begging them to testify on her behalf .

But to their surprise , Calliope had sorted everything out within minutes .

The couple causing trouble got escorted away by the cops , and she walked out without a scratch .

Shed even managed to access the surveillance footage from her phone .

Ulysses and his group were left feeling a mix of disbelief and something else they couldnt quite put their finger on .

They never thought Calliope had it in her .

Wow , shes got some skills .

Wonder where she picked that up , Lisette commented , a smile on her face but her eyes cold as ice .

Just a fluke , Ulysses scoffed , refusing to acknowledge any real talent in Calliope .

If she had any real talent , wed know about it , Valerian added with a sneer .

As they gossiped amongst themselves , Calliope waved goodbye to Portia and made her way over to them .

They exchanged looks , surprised that Calliope was heading their way .

Lisette was stunned , too .

She quickly said , Callie , are you regretting leaving the Jewell family already ? No matter what , youre still their sister by blood .

You guys shouldnt hold a grudge because she once said she wanted out of the family .

Sure , she might not know much and sometimes cause trouble for the family and the company … People may call her useless , but shes still a Jewell , right ? She wanted out , remember ? Does she dare to come back now ? Ulysses said , his tone icy .

Wed never take her back , even if she begged ! Valerian added with disdain .

She thought she was too good for the Jewell family .

Lets see if she can manage on her own , Horatio said , glancing at Calliope with a smirk .

The three of them were still annoyed about Calliopes declaration at the party to cut ties with the Jewell family .

If she wanted to sever ties , shed better stick to it and never come crawling back .

Calliope stopped in front of the four .

What do you want ? Ulysses asked , looking up at her .

Regretting your impulsive decisions ? You should think things through before you act , or be ready to face the consequences .

Calliope , if youre thinking of coming back , Im seriously disappointed in you , Valerian mocked .

Calliope swept her gaze over the trio , unfazed .

Dream on .

I finally managed to cut ties with you .

Why on earth would I come crawling back ?
