A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 366 There was a time when their disdain would leave her feeling crushed , yearning for their approval , but those days were long gone .

Now , nothing this family did could stir any emotion in her .

As Franco nodded , he glanced back at the Jewell family , his gaze lingering on them .

Youre treating a piece of trash like its treasure , while tossing away the seal gem .

One day , youll regret it .

With that , the door closed behind him .

Monty and the others eyed Calliope , still harboring a sliver of disbelief .

Callie , Im not sure how you convinced Franco to play along , but thats beside the point .

Were inviting you to dinner because , frankly , we need your help to save the company , Horatios legs , and sort things with Lisette .

After all , youve got the same blood running through your veins as the rest of us , the Jewell family Cant you lend a hand ? If word gets out that you refused , it wont look good ! Calliope smirked , Are you trying to guilt trip me ? Monty quickly replied , Thats not what I meant ! Calliope chuckled softly .

Then what did you mean ? If I dont help , whats your plan ? Zelda , her face darkened with frustration , chimed in , Calliope , dont be so unreasonable .

Weve already humbled ourselves to ask for your help .

Youve eaten such an expensive meal , and youre seriously not going to help ? How can you be so thick skinned ? You think one meal is enough to buy me ? Calliope glanced at Zelda .

Million , lets return this meal to her .

Zelda was speechless , her eyes widened in shock .

Million had already started pretending to gag .

Valerians lips twitched , looking like he wished they wouldnt take things so far .

They all knew they wouldnt actually regurgitate their meal ; it would be disgusting .

Crazy ! Zelda was too flustered to retort .

Calliope shrugged it off with a light laugh .

Ive already laid out my terms .

If you want my help , hand over the company for me to manage and give me at least half the shares .

Otherwise , no deal .

With that , Calliope stood up .

Callie , your demand is over the top .

Youve never contributed to the company ! Monty protested , his brows furrowed .

Cant you compromise a little ? Plus , helping Horatio shouldnt be a transactional thing , hes your brother ! Sorry , thats not the case anymore .

You keep forgetting that Ive severed ties with the Jewell family .

Calliopes tone was calm but firm .

Valerian , losing his temper , suddenly hurled a bowl at Calliope .

She reacted swiftly , catching the bowl effortlessly .

She cast a cool glance at Valerian , Valerian , are you trying to commit murder ? Yes , Im trying to smash you to bits ! Valerian fumed , Ive had enough of you ! Arent you done yet ? Heh- Calliope let out a cold laugh .

I dont recall asking you to endure anything .

Try smashing me , see if youve got what it takes .

Valerians face flushed with frustration , knowing full well he couldnt best Calliope .

Calliope placed the bowl back on the table and turned to leave with Million in tow .

Monty and the others , both angry and anxious , hurried after her .

As she stepped out , the waitstaff in the hallway paused , respectfully greeting her as Boss .

Franco reappeared from somewhere , handing Calliope a few documents to sign .

After signing , she returned the papers to Franco and whispered a few words to him , patting his shoulder lightly , like a leader giving instructions to a team member
