A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 243 Valerian lunged forward , grabbing Lisette as she struggled against Upton .

Ulysses quickly joined in to help , his face tense with urgency .

Horatio , confined to his wheelchair , could do nothing but plead , Mr.

Thorne , your child is fine , isnt he ? I think Lisette just acted on impulse .

She didnt mean any harm .

This should serve as a reminder to all of us to be more careful when watching the children .

Please , let Lisette go ! She didnt do it on purpose ! Not on purpose ? So , what , it was intentional ? Calliope leaned casually against the doorway , eyes gleaming with scorn .

Of course .

They always defended Lisette .

No matter what she did , no matter how far she crossed the line , she was never truly at fault .

Calliope , do you really have to kick her when shes down ? Ulysses snapped , glaring at her .

Cant you say something to defend Lisette for once ? Valerian frowned .

She takes you as her sister .

Shes never done anything to wrong you .

Shes always stood up for you .

Do you really want her to suffer for this ? Calliope studied her nails , arching a brow .

Shes never wronged me ? She took Baber away today just to stir up trouble between Upton and me .

Are you seriously going to stand there and tell me she did that for my sake ? She didnt mean to ! Ulysses face was flushed with frustration .

Do you have to be so ruthless ? Is she the one being ruthless , or is it you all ? Silas had moved behind Calliope , his hand resting lightly on her shoulder .

His sharp , ice cold gaze swept over Ulysses and the others .

Calliope felt the warmth of his touch , that familiar steady presence that made her feel safe .

Mr.

Myers , we just dont want anything bad to happen to Lisette , Valerian said stiffly .

Calliope is her sister .

Shouldnt she show a little more kindness ? Horatio looked up .

Callie , let Lisette go .

She wasnt thinking straight .

Shes never done anything like this before .

She was probably just upset because of me .

You wouldnt tell us where the Miracle Doctor is , and she lost her temper .

If anyones to blame , its me .

Calliopes lips curled into a smirk .

Sorry , but youre not that important .

Even if she was doing it for you , what does that have to do with me ? And for the record , I didnt do anything to her .

She pissed off Upton all on her own .

Why are you blaming me ? This is ridiculous .

With that , Calliope turned back to Baber .

Silas lingered at the doorway , his chilly gaze sweeping over Horatio and the others .

His brows slightly furrowed , displaying how he felt displeased with the bunch of people .

You shouldnt treat Callie this way .

She was your sister once , too .

But all youve ever done is let her down , over and over again .

I think shes finally reached her limit .

Youve lost her , for good .

Silas turned away , walking back to Calliopes side .

Calliope remained calm , playing with Baber .

Upton didnt send Lisette to prison .

But he did break her hand .

You touched Baber with this hand , he said coldly as Lisette screeched in pain .

He barely spared her another glance , his expression icy as he looked at Horatio and the others .

Their eyes burned with fury at Upton for punishing Lisette so harshly , at Calliope for not stepping in , for sitting there , inside the room , laughing softly as she played with Baber .
