A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 397 Chapter 397 You can take some time to think it over , Calliope said with a grin .

I have to head out now .

Once youve made up your minds , just give me a call .

Oh , but remember , your phone might not work , better use the butlers line ! With a casual wave , she turned on her heel , hands shoved deep into her pockets , and strolled away .

Monty was still wavering .

The thought of handing over all his power was a tough pill to swallow .

Yet , if he didnt , the company might go under completely , and his eldest son might never recover .

Dad , dont hesitate , Horatio urged .

Think of it as an early retirement .

Once the companys back on its feet , we can figure something out .

Besides , hanging onto your position wont do any good now , he added .

The board members have been grumbling about you anyway .

Right now , the companys like a hot potato , Valerian chimed in .

If Calliope can turn it around , well reap the benefits .

If not , any fallout lands squarely on her shoulders .

Their words hit Monty like a splash of cold water , clearing the fog of indecision .

They were right .

At this point , whether the company collapsed or not didnt make much difference to the Jewell family .

If Calliope wanted to take on this mess , why not let her ? Theyd negotiate to give her the position but keep a larger slice of the pie .

Horatio and Lisette would still be in the company , keeping an eye on things .

The old guard at the company didnt much care for Calliope anyway .

Who knows , she might lose interest and give up .

Yes , youre absolutely right ! Monty sighed with relief .

This way , he could avoid any public backlash .

The three of them quickly reached a consensus .

Just then , the doors to the lounge burst open , and a crowd of people streamed out .

Reporters , satisfied with their scoop , were already planning their headlines .

Valerian caught one by the arm , frowning .

Max , whats going on ? Werent you supposed to be helping us out ? He was irritated , though it hardly mattered now .

Still , hed hired them for support , and this was the result .

Ah , Mr.

Valerian , you didnt mention Zachary and his crew would be here ! Max replied , slightly breathless with excitement .

Your family dramas small potatoes compared to Zacharys new project ! Today really was a surprise .

But how did you know Zachary was around ? Max inquired , still buzzing with energy .

And what about Calliope ? We didnt see her around , he added , almost as an afterthought .

Shes gone , Horatio replied , not bothering to hide his annoyance .

But whos this Zachary ? Is he really that big of a deal ? Oh , absolutely ! Hes the top director in the country ! Max exclaimed , eyes wide with enthusiasm .

Hes got this incredible talent for turning everything he touches into gold .

And now hes teamed up with the mysterious scriptwriter C ! I mean , were all dying to know who C is nobody even knows if C is a man or a woman ! Max could hardly contain his excitement .
