A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 250 What the hell ? Did you tell that little brat to go after Lisette ? Zelda seethed , and her teeth clenched in barely restrained fury .

Because of you , Lisettes arm will never be the same ! Calliope , how could you be so cruel ? Calliope let out a soft chuckle , tilting her head slightly .

Watch your mouth , Zelda .

Who are you calling a little brat ? Or do you prefer to be called an old hag ? Calliope ! Show some respect .

Shes your mother ! Valerian snapped , his face dark with anger .

My mother ? Calliope arched a brow , lips curling into a smirk .

No , I dont have a mother .

She crossed her arms and leaned back lazily against the counter .

And dont start the whole Lisette did nothing wrong act .

She brought this on herself .

Lisette had the brilliant idea to mess with Baber , the Thorne familys golden boy , the one no one in this city dares to cross .

She chose to poke the bear .

Losing just an arm ? She got off easy .

That was assault ! Are you seriously suggesting she should just take it ? What , do you want her thrown in jail for this ? Calliope shrugged .

But she wont walk out with a spotless reputation if she lands in prison .

Thats for sure .

Zelda yanked her hand back , glaring .

You and Upton are close .

And youre tight with that little rat , too .

Why the hell would you do this to Lisette ? Calliope gave Zelda an unreadable look .

You said it yourself .

Im close to them .

Of course , I have their backs .

Lisette screwed up , and now youre trying to make it my problem ? Please .

Maybe you should worry about your company instead of finding fault with me .

Did you think Upton would let this go so easily ? Zeldas stomach twisted at Calliopes words .

She darted a glance at Valerian , silently asking if there was any truth to what she had heard .

Valerian didnt know for sure but had heard plenty of stories about Uptons fierce devotion to his son .

Baber wasnt some spoiled rich kid .

He was Uptons pride and joy , the only thing left to him by the woman he had loved .

And if Upton decided to hold a grudge against the Jewell family over this ? That would be a disaster .

Valerians jaw Calliope , is this about the company shares ? Are you trying to ruin us because we didnt give you any shares ? He knew how much sway Calliope held with Upton .

She could only whisper a few words and turn the tide against them .

Calliope might be pulling the strings if Upton decided to crash the Jewell familys business .

Maybe it was her real plan all along .

Shed ensure no one else could have the Jewell Group if she couldnt take it herself .

If thats what you think , youre delusional , Calliope said smoothly .

Zelda bristled .

You wont get a single share of this company ! Not one ! Calliope didnt even blink .

Suit yourself .

But maybe focus on keeping your company afloat first .

If you dont , you will have nothing left to give .

Zeldas face turned red with fury .

You you just want the company , dont you ? Calliopes lips curled into a slow , almost lazy smile .

You got me .

Five percent .

Take it or leave it .

Zelda clutched her chest as if trying to steady her racing heart .

Youre insane ! I would rather lose everything than give you a single cent ! 1/2 06.00 Chapter 250 Valerian let out a bitter laugh , shaking his head in disappointment .

Calliope , I cant believe you .

Youre taking advantage of this situation , huh ? Youre nothing like our family .

You dont belong in the Jewell family 2/2
