A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 239 Wheres Baber ? Calliope yanked Lisettes hair , her expression dark as she made the question .

You crazy cow , let go of me ! Lisette winced as pain shot across her scalp , her eyes welling with tears .

Calliope wasnt playing around her grip was ruthless , and the force of her slap had already left Lisettes cheek swelling .

Lisette looked desperately toward Valerian and the others , crying out for help .

Horatio , Valerian , Ulysses ! Help ! Calliope , thats enough ! You lost track of the kid yourself ! Why the hell are you taking it out on Lisette ? Valerian was furious ; he stepped forward , raising his hand to strike Calliope .

But before he could land the slap , Calliope caught his wrist .

Her fingers closed around his arm with a deceptive ease , but no matter how much strength Valerian put into it , he couldnt yank free .

His face turned red from the strain , disbelief flashing in his eyes .

Calliope smirked and gave him a light shove .

Valerian stumbled back several steps before catching his balance , staring at her as if shed just grown another head .

What the hell is wrong with you , Callie ? Ulyssess expression mirrored Valerians shock .

Let Lisette go , or were gonna have a serious problem .

Even Horatio , seated in his wheelchair , looked thoroughly disgruntled .

Callie , this has nothing to do with Lisette .

Shes been with us the whole time .

She just stepped away for the restroom .

How the hell could she have taken Baber ? Hunderstand , youre just scared Mr.

Thorne is gonna blame you .

Its indeed your negligence .

You were too busy showing off earlier , doing God knows what .

The man youve helped earlier might not get better because of your intervention , thats one thing , and now youve lost Baber .

This is on you , Callie .

Own up to it .

Though Horatios tone was gentler , his accusation against Calliope palpable .

Mr.

Thorne , youre someone sensible .

Lisette isnt related to what happened .

Upton had been silent the whole time ; he curled his lips into an amused smirk .

Theyre both your sisters , arent they ? So , you want me to punish Callie and let Lisette off the hook ? This was Callies mistake to begin with .

However you handle her , we wont interfere ! Horatio said firmly .

Lisette , still trapped by Calliopes grip , turned her face toward Upton .

Mr.

Thorne , please ! Tell her to let me go ! I was the one who told you Baber was missing ! Ive been helping look for him ! It was Calliope who lost your son ! She gazed at Upton anxiously .

Upton loved Baber everyone knew it .

And Baber was the son of the woman he had cherished most .

There was no way hed let this slide .

Calliope was done for ! Where is my son ? Uptons voice was quiet but sharp as a blade .

Lisette struggled against Calliopes grip , desperation creeping into her tone .

Calliope , did you hear that ? Mr.

Thorne wants to know where Baber is ! Stop yanking my hair and go find him ! You really think Mr.

Thorne is stupid enough to believe I took Baber ? Im talking to you , Upton said , his gaze locked onto Lisette .

Where did you take my son ? Ill give you one more chance .

Return Baber to me .

Or youre dead .
