A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 100

Portia glanced at the man with irritation. "Dude, are you deaf? Stop bothering us, and let us watch the game in peace."

"Who asked you to speak, you little brat?" The man shot Portia a nasty look. "Grab her, too!"

"What do you think you're doing?" Portia's eyebrows knitted together in anger.

Calliope stepped before Portia protectively. "Touch her, and you'll regret it. If you've got something to say, say it to me."

Her eyes flashed with a cold intensity.

"Oh, playing the hero, huh?" The tattooed guy sneered, reaching out to grab Calliope's chin.

Just then, Lisette rushed over. "What are you doing? Keep your hands off my sister!"

Calliope sighed, and Valerian followed close behind Lisette, looking displeased as he glared at Calliope.

"Wow, more pretty faces joining the party. What, you got a thing for us?" The tattooed guy eyed Lisette, pretending not to recognize her.

Calliope watched Lisette with an amused expression, choosing not to intervene.

The tattooed guy reached for Lisette's arm, but she flinched and moved closer to Valerian.

"What do you want?" Valerian's voice was icy.

"Just trying to have a friendly chat," the tattooed guy laughed arrogantly.

"Calliope, look at the kind of trouble you attract!" Valerian snapped at Calliope.

Calliope chuckled, "And which eye of yours saw me attracting him?"

"If you hadn't, would he be talking to you?" Valerian retorted, annoyed. "Good thing Lisette saw you, or who knows what would've happened. Don't you realize?"

"I didn't ask for your help, did I?" Calliope laughed again. "Don't flatter yourself, and mind your own business."
