A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 396 Monty looked like he had just bitten into a lemon .

Sure , I may not have showered you with allowances , but you turned out just fine , didnt you ? And besides , arent you loaded now ? I heard youve got a whole bunch of businesses , that fancy club is yours , isnt it ? Calliope raised an eyebrow .

And you think I thrived on thin air ? My club , my businesses , you think they came from you ? Monty was at a loss for words .

They gave you life , and thats the greatest gift of all ! Without our parents , you wouldnt exist , nor would anything you have ! Valerian chimed in , clearly frustrated , Calliope , you need to be grateful .

Nothing in life is a given .

Even if they didnt raise you , your life is theirs .

Are you going to give it back to them ? Did I ask them to bring me into this world ? Calliope asked with a wry smile .

Valerian spluttered , Thats just childish nonsense ! Calliope glanced into the room and made a quick gesture to Zachary , Zachary seemed to get the message and nodded .

Once Calliope left the room , Monty and Valerian helped Horatio back into his wheelchair and followed her out .

The corridor was quiet , almost eerily so .

Calliope stood to the side , tilting her head as she looked at Monty and his entourage .

So , did you bring this whole circus of reporters to put on a show ? Planning to guilt trip me into helping you and use public opinion to back me into a corner ? Your little scheme is pretty transparent .

Her words hit the nail on the head .

Horatio and the others looked visibly uncomfortable .

They had indeed planned exactly what she accused them of .

But they hadnt expected Calliope to be so sharp , to see through it all .

Nor did they expect the reporters to lose interest and just ignore them .

Calliope , stop being so unreasonable , Valerian protested , denying everything .

Youre just projecting your own negativity onto us ! Calliope just clapped her hands .

Bravo ! Callie , just help out the Jewell family , Monty pleaded , looking at Calliope with big , sad eyes .

You know how bad things are for us .

You dont even have to do much just say a few words , spend some time with us .

People will notice .

I dont feel like it , Calliope replied icily .

You- Monty was fuming .

If you want my help , its simple : meet my previous conditions .

Then , his legs , the Jewell family company , everything will be saved , Calliope said , nodding toward Monty .

You- Hand over the company for me to manage .

Give me your position .

I wont touch anyone elses job .

Calliope continued , Lisette can stay too .

Oh , and with one phone call , I can have your precious sister back .

Really , you dont want to take this offer ? Valerian seemed tempted by her words .

12:32 he looked at Monty , For Horatio , Lisette , and the company , maybe we should agree .

Calliope , you really wont meddle with anyone else ? Not at all .

Just give me his position , Calliope said , raising an eyebrow .

So , what do you think ? Its a win win .

Dad , lets agree ! Horatio chimed in , looking at Monty .

Its not just for my legs , but for Lisette and the company , we cant just do nothing !
