A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 448 I have other commitments , so I cant always be at the company .

When it comes to management , Franco is way better than me , Calliope remarked .

Hell be staying here as my assistant .

If Im unavailable , hell handle everything .

I think everyone knows who he is , and there shouldnt be any objections .

Monty nodded absentmindedly .

He wasnt sure whether to be thrilled , grateful , or panicked , Franco was indeed impressive , but if he stayed , would he eventually take over the place ? Would the company slowly change under his influence ? Whats the matter , youre not on board with this ? Calliope asked , her eyes fixed on Monty .

Ive already made the decision here .

It doesnt matter if you agree or not .

Im not here to seek your opinion ; just to inform you .

Pleasure working with you , Mr.

Jewell , Franco said with a friendly smile , extending his hand towards Monty .

Monty stared at his own hand , his expression twitching slightly .

After lunch , Calliope took Franco to the office where they discussed a few things .

Monty , unable to follow the conversation , sat awkwardly on the couch .

He used to be the one in charge , but suddenly , he felt like an outsider in his own domain .

Within just a morning , Calliope had shown she meant business .

Monty recalled how the employees were buzzing with excitement after lunch .

Hed never seen them so enthusiastic and motivated before .

He realized that if Calliope had wanted to , she could have easily taken over the company .

She had the capability , but she chose not to , and for that , she showed remarkable restraint .

Meanwhile , at the Jewell household , Valerian , though not entirely happy , followed Horatios instructions .

He instructed the staff to clear out Horatios room , preparing it for a makeover .

Zelda returned home to find Valerian in the middle of this project .

What are you doing ? she demanded as she approached .

Clearing out Horatios room .

Hes moving to that smaller one , Valerian replied .

What ? Zelda exclaimed , incredulous .

Why the change ? He has trouble walking , hows he supposed to manage in such a cramped space ? Horatio wants to give his room to Calliope , Valerian explained .

Why would he give it to that jinx ? Zelda fumed .

Her recent outing with the other socialites had been filled with gossip about their familys decline .

Mention of Lisette and Calliope had nearly driven her mad with frustration .

Now , back home , this was the last straw .

If it werent for that jinx , would the company be in its current state ? she added .

Its to make amends to Callie , Valerian said .

Just leave it .

The company plans to hand over management to her .

What ? Zelda shrieked , her voice piercing the air .

Are you giving her shares too ? Have you all lost your minds ? Why are you three acting so irrationally ? The company needs her , Valerian insisted , frowning .

Dont you want Lisette out ? Dont you want Horatios legs to heal ? Shes blackmailing you with those terms , and youre falling for it ? If she had any conscience , she wouldnt be using these against you ! Ill go to the company right now to confront her ! Zelda declared , her voice trembling with anger .
