A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 65 Calliope listened to Zeldas words , a soft chuckle escaping her lips .

Do you really trust Lisette that much ? Yes , Lisette would never lie to me .

She never has .

Calliope , I know you better than anyone .

Youre just jealous of the way we treat Lisette , and youre taking it out on her .

You need to have Silas take down that sign , apologize to Lisette and admit to everyone that this was your fault ! Or else , Im done with you as my daughter ! Zeldas tone left no room for argument .

As if you ever truly saw me as your daughter , Calliope smiled lightly .

Go ahead , disown me .

Last time I checked , being your daughter doesnt come with a trust fund .

With a decisive click , Calliope ended the call .

Sitting on her living room couch , Zelda stared at her phone in disbelief .

Her chest heaved with indignation , feeling like she was about to explode from anger .

This is outrageous ! How can she be so ill mannered ! If we hadnt done a DNA test , I mightve doubted shes my biological daughter .

Zeldas face was a stormy shade of red as she took a few deep breaths .

The housekeeper , who had been observing Zelda from a respectful distance , spoke gently , Maam , maybe you should have a heart to heart with Callie .

After all , mothers and daughters should try to get along .

I gave her the chance to get along , but did she take it ? Zelda retorted , her face still flushed with anger .

Youve been with our family for over two decades , longer than Callie .

You know what shes like , dont you ? Lisette is so well behaved ; Callie couldnt learn even a fraction of that .

Shes just like the bad luck charm people talk about .

The housekeeper frowned , her lips parting as if to speak , but the words didnt come .

Every time Zelda criticized Calliope and she tried to defend her , Zelda would erupt , unwilling to hear a single positive word about her .

There were things she had longed to say.

Callie was just misunderstood .

She wasnt the problem ; it was Lisette who kept setting her up , yet Mr.

and Mrs.

Jewell , along with their three sons , inexplicably trusted Lisette .

Nobody ever believed Callie .

She had wanted to find the right moment to talk to the family about it , but every time the subject arose , Zeldas temper flared .

Because she had always believed Lisette to be a blessing .

But the housekeeper suspected Lisette was more of a curse .

Since Lisette had come into the Jewell family , it was as if everyone had fallen under a spell … Callie , the real daughter , had suffered so much .

It was unfortunate that she didnt have the standing to change anything .

Callie had even asked her not to intervene , fearing she might lose her job .

She truly felt for Callie .

Despite everything , Callie was kind to everyone , even the staff , unlike Lisette , who wore a façade of sweetness while acting harshly behind the scenes .

It was a pity that nobody in the Jewell family realized how wonderful Callie truly was .

The housekeeper sighed and returned to her chores , keeping her thoughts to herself , 1/2 Chapter 65 Lisette descended the stairs , her face a picture of distress .

Tears brimming in her eyes , she looked at Zelda .

Mom , did you talk to Callie ? I dont understand why she has it out for me .

I only wanted to discuss some business with Mr.

Myers , but Callie seems determined to embarrass me .

And its not just my reputation at stake ; its the reputation of our entire family .
