A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 345 The stuffed bunny had been Calliopes favorite , but her three brothers snatched it away and handed it over to Lisette , the girl their parents had just adopted .

They scolded Calliope harshly , accusing her of being mean to Lisette and insisted she should treat her better in the future .

Calliope felt wronged and unfairly blamed .

As time went on , there were more and more instances captured on video where Lisette cunningly took everything Calliope cherished .

She took her favorite toys and possessions , and no matter how much Calliope tried to explain , no one in the Jewell family believed her .

From their early years , through ages nine and ten , and into their teens , Lisettes appetite for Calliopes things only grew .

She even began to demand Calliopes more valuable belongings .

During family photo shoots , Lisette would pull some trick , leaving Calliope out of the picture .

The family portraits hung on the walls , but Calliope was nowhere to be seen .

No one in the Jewell family seemed to care about Calliope .

They showered all their affection on Lisette .

The audience watching this unfold was stunned .

Initially indifferent , they gradually grew more empathetic towards Calliope .

They had no idea that life in the Jewell family was like this for her .

Although she was the eldest daughter , her room was taken by Lisette , leaving her to live in a tiny storage closet .

Because Lisettes birthday was just a day apart from Calliopes , the Jewell family feared making Lisette feel left out .

So they never celebrated Calliopes birthday separately .

Every year , the birthday party was always about Lisette , with Calliope being an afterthought .

Regardless of what Calliope did , right or wrong , the Jewell family always found fault with her , constantly reprimanding her .

Among the audience , some sensitive girls started to cry .

This is just heartbreaking for Calliope , one murmured .

I always thought she was the pampered one ! another exclaimed .

Doesnt it seem like Calliope is the adopted one here ? My God , she endured all this without saying a word ! Shes not just wronged ; her heart must be shattered , treated like this by her own family ! This is beyond terrible ! And Lisette , how could she be so manipulative at such a young age ? I owe Calliope an apology .

I always thought she was the villain ! In her shoes , Id probably want to blow up the whole family too ! Thats her own family , right ? How could they do that ? This is just inhumane ! Even between real sisters , some favoritism would feel unfair, let alone this the adopted child ge everything , and the biological child is left with nothing .

The Jewell family , you really outdid yourselves ! Everyones eyes turned towards Valerian and Horatio .

Their expressions were a mix of disbelief and realization .

No one knew whether to call them naive or simply too trusting of Lisette … Horatio and Valerian hadnt expected to see themselves as children .

They remembered these moments , but had no idea the truth was so starkly different from what they believed they had thought Lisette was the one being bullied by Calliope , who they assumed was the spoiled , bratty one .
