A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 4/1 Chapter 471 Sorry , Callie .

Valerians expression was a mix of emotions .

He had planned to casually bring up Lisette while offering the cake , hoping to find out when she might come back .

But now , he didnt dare to ask .

He knew that pressing for answers would only upset her .

As he thought back to their childhood , his heart softened a bit .

At first , they were all thrilled to have this little sister .

When she finally arrived , they were charmed by her .

She was as cute as a button .

Sweet and polite , shed call their names softly , making their hearts melt every time .

Back then , nothing made him happier than coming home from school to see his little sister .

He wanted to give her the world , fearing his older and younger brothers might steal her attention away .

She was their only sister , after all .

He remembered how he used to envy classmates who had sisters .

Even since he had his own , that envy disappeared .

Initially , he genuinely cherished her .

But then Lisette arrived , and things indeed began to change .

Lisette was the youngest , and they were naturally inclined to dote on her .

Was that really so wrong ? Callie , however , seemed to hold onto her resentment .

Perhaps she felt she deserved all of her brothers affection .

Valerian didnt believe he had done anything terribly wrong , but thinking back to young Calliope , he realized she was his sister too , and maybe he should have treated her better .

Horatio seemed to share this realization .

It was as if a light bulb had gone off , reminding him that Calliope was , in fact , his real sister .

He regretted not paying more attention to her over the years .

Just then , Ulysses burst through the door , still wearing his costume from the film set , his hair styled in a period appropriate fashion , hed clearly rushed over as soon as shooting wrapped up .

Ulysses had been filming in a nearby city and wasnt up to date on family matters , unaware of Calliopes situation .

Seeing the press conference by chance , he discovered the family business had been handed over to Calliope , which made no sense to him .

So , after finishing his scene , he drove home as fast as he could .

Dad , whats going on here ? Horatio , Valerian , youre here too .

Why is the company in her hands ? Ulysses glared incredulously in Calliopes direction .

What makes her qualified ? How can she possibly manage a company ? Ive been away filming and come back to find everything upside down .

Ulysses , didnt I tell you not to concern yourself with the family business ? Monty frowned .

Arent you busy with your acting career ? Why rush back ? Exactly , Ulysses , you didnt need to come back .

Horatio glanced at him .

Horatio , Valerian , Dad might be confused , but you too ? Ulysses was baffled , staring at Calliope , who was behind the office desk .

She looked every bit the part of the companys boss .

She sat comfortably in the executive chair while their father and brothers stood nearby , resembling her assistants more than her family .

Ulysses , I already explained , we have our reasons .

Monty sighed , Callie has proven herself capable , which is why the companys been entrusted to her .

Shes your sister , after all .

Dont overreact .

Handing the company and shares to her doesnt harm us ; it doesnt change our returns .
