A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 296 Did Calliope do something ? Why , why is she so important ? Monty asked , still baffled , as he looked at Mr.

Lopez sitting across from him .

Thats not something you need to know , Mr.

Lopez replied curtly .

Please escort Mr.

Jewell out .

The assistant promptly ushered Monty out of the room , leaving him no chance to speak further .

Once outside , Monty felt his frustration boiling over .

Mr.

Lopez had made it clear : without Calliope , he wouldnt consider partnering with the Jewell family .

They were just one option among many for Mr.

Lopez , who could easily find other suppliers .

In contrast , the Jewell family desperately needed Mr.

Lopezs business .

As Monty reached the exit , he spotted Lisette waiting nearby .

A wave of irritation washed over him .

If it hadnt been for her insistence , he wouldve brought Calliope instead .

Lisette had assured him she could talk things over with Mr.

Lopez and seal the deal .

And what happened ? Mr.

Lopez had shown her the door .

What a mess ! Dad , how did it go ? Lisette asked , still convinced Mr.

Lopez couldnt truly need Calliope .

Mr.

Lopez said he needed to meet with Callie .

He wont work with us unless she comes to the table .

If not , hell cancel everything , Monty muttered , scratching his head in frustration .

Call her .

Apologize if you have to .

She wouldnt have been jealous and left in a huff if we hadnt been too good to you ! Lisette gaped at Monty , stunned .

She hadnt expected him to pin the blame on her .

Though she felt wronged , she knew better than to argue right then .

The Jewell Group couldnt afford to lose a crucial client like Mr.

Lopez .

Cherp She reluctantly pulled out her phone to call Calliope .

But a few minutes later , she turned to Monty , defeated .

Dad , its not that I dont want to call her .

Callie blocked me .

I cant get through .

She blocked you too ? Monty frowned , pulling out his own phone to call Horatio .

He asked Horatio to try reaching Calliope and plead for her help .

A few minutes later , Horatio called back , Shes blocked me as well .

I cant reach her by calls , texts , or even Twitter .

Monty called Valerian and Ulysses , urging them to try their luck with Calliope .

But it was the same story .

They were all blocked .

In desperation , Monty called Zelda .

You have to try reaching her .

She might not have blocked you .

Youre her mother ! And why should I ? Zelda snapped on the other end .

You think shell want to help after everything ? Monty was stunned by his wifes response and felt his temper rise .

You think I want to beg her ? Do you have any idea what crisis our company is in ? You spend your days playing bridge and living like a socialite .

Have you thought about what would happen if the company went under ? How will you keep up that lifestyle then ?
