A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 251 Calliope stood there , her expression as blank as a freshly painted wall , staring at Valerian .

I havent considered myself part of the Jewell family for a long time .

Calliope , have you lost your sense of decency ? Zelda was practically vibrating with anger , itching to lash out but fully aware she couldnt take Calliope in a fair fight .

Im not asking for much .

Just help Horatio with his legs ! Are you going to leave him hanging like this ? Hes your brother by blood ! Your family ! Arent you even going to try to find the Miracle Doctor to fix his leg ? Calliope raised an eyebrow , intrigued by Zeldas desperation .

Funny , huh ? You all said I wasnt fit to be the Jewell family .

And now , suddenly , Im supposed to care because were family ? Sure , I can help .

But itll cost you .

Give me shares in the Jewell Group , and Ill see what I can do .

I not only know the whereabouts of the Miracle Doctor , but were on pretty good terms .

I can ask her to help out .

Her words were like a sharp jab , leaving Zelda and Valerian frustrated .

Valerian looked at her , disbelief etched on his face .

Calliope , are you seriously trying to take advantage of this situation ? Trading our brothers legs for company shares ? Thats low , even for you .

Seething , Zelda added , Exactly ! Dream on ! Were not handing the shares to you ! Just tell us where she is ; and Ill give you 100,000 dollars for the address ! Calliope shrugged nonchalantly .

100,000 dollars ? Thats pocket change for Lisette in a year .

You need to up your offer .

Zelda was flabbergasted .

Thats your brother ! He used to treat you well ! That was back in the day .

Is your heart made of stone ? Valerian took a deep breath .

Were asking for a favor .

Just ask around a bit .

Why are you being so difficult ? Why dont you ask yourselves ? Calliope crossed her arms , unmoved .

Valerian gritted his teeth .

We would have done it ourselves if we hadnt ticked off the Thorne family .

Maybe you shouldnt have let your darling sister mess with them .

Whos to blame here ? Its all your fault ! Zeldas glare was like daggers .

If it werent for you , Lisette wouldnt have gotten into trouble ! Calliope rolled her eyes .

Right .

Blame me for everything .

Just find out where the Miracle Doctor is , okay ? Lisettes arm will only heal right if the Miracle Doctor helps .

Zeldas voice was sharp and commanding , taking Calliope as a mere servant .

And you want me to throw Lisette into the deal , too ? Then were talking at least twenty percent of the company shares .

Calliope calculated with a straight face .

Twenty percent , not a penny less .

Calliope , are you seriously trying to rob us blind ? Are you for real ? Valerians brow furrowed in frustration .

I swear , theres no sister like you in the whole wide world ! Exactly .

Im one of a kind , Calliope declared with a smirk .

Im exceptional , one of a kind .

Whats the matter ? You all look like youve seen a ghost .

She glanced at Zelda and the others .

No shares ? Fine .

Ive got plenty to do .

I guess you dont care that much about Horatio and Lisette if you wont even trade twenty percent of the company shares for their health .

With that , Calliope turned and walked away .

Zelda stomped her foot in frustration .

That wretched devil ! I knew it , shes a curse .

She wont be happy until shes ruined the whole family ! 1/2 06:08 Chapter 251 Valerians face was a storm cloud of frustration .

Calliope was busy tending to Baber for the next few days , immersing herself in her work .
