A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

08:11 Chapter 306 What did you mean by that ? Valerian snapped with frustration .

Calliope chuckled softly , I meant it literally .

Im genuinely impressed .

I should learn from Lisette how to say something and have the whole family rally around me .

She leaned closer , scrutinizing the group before her .

Dont you think you got a bit carried away earlier ? I never said Lisette had to leave the Jewell family , did I ? She brought it up herself , Calliope shrugged .

She decided to leave on her own .

I didnt use that as leverage .

Whether she leaves or not , I dont know the Mr.

Lopez youre talking about , and I wont help .

Oh , by the way , Im already out of the Jewell family whether she leaves .

I have no ties with the Jewell family anymore .

Do you want me to show you the signed papers again ? Youve all signed it , remember ? Calliope rested her chin in her hand , looking innocently at them .

I got kicked out of the Jewell family .

How could I influence whether Lisette stays or goes ? Am I that powerful ? Monty and his sons were dumbstruck by her words .

It dawned on them that Calliope hadnt threatened anyone .

Lisette had jumped to conclusions , and theyd assumed she was getting bullied .

But in reality , that wasnt the case .

The four of them exchanged uneasy glances before turning to Lisette .

Still , their focus quickly shifted back to Mr.

Lopez .

Monty tried to persuade Calliope again , but her resolve was unshakeable .

She insisted she didnt know Dante .

Despite their skepticism , they had no choice but to accept her word .

Besides , Silas was sitting nearby , and his imposing presence kept them from pushing further .

Well , its time for you gentlemen to leave , if thats all , Silas said , making it clear theyd overstayed their welcome .

Youre interrupting my wifes downtime .

Monty looked conflicted .

Forget it , Dad , Ulysses said .

If she doesnt help , so be it .

The Jewell family has other avenues to explore .

Mr.

Myers , Monty addressed Silas , clinging to a thread of hope .

I am your father in law , after all .

Wont you reconsider helping us ? My wife is no longer part of the Jewell family , Silas stated coldly .

So youre not my father in law anymore .

Dad , lets go , Ulysses urged .

Well never ask her for anything again .

She thinks she can coast through life like this ? The group stormed out , seething with anger .

Calliope called out after them , Lisette , dont forget to clean up your mess .

Lisette froze , her face flushed with embarrassment , although her lips were pale .

She couldnt believe Calliope had brought up her accident before Silas again .

It was mortifying .

Calliope , cant you have your staff take care of it ? Ulysses snarled , turning back .

Why should my staff handle someone elses mess ? Calliope shrugged , I care about my housekeeper .

But dont you care about Lisette ?
