A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 103

“Mrs. Myers’s older brother isn’t much of a brother. I mean, how could he only stand by and watch?” Fagan fumed, pacing back and forth. “She’s his sister, for Pete’s sake! And he just let her get bullied?

And that foster girl is a real piece of work, always stirring the pot. The Jewell family must be out of their minds.”

Fagan was still seething about what he had just witnessed. “And they had the nerve to blame it on how Mrs. Myers dressed? She was wearing a tank top! It’s not like she was out of line. Lots of girls dress like that. Some people are plain rotten, and it’s got nothing to do with what women wear.”

Silas had been silent the whole time, listening to Fagan’s rant. When Fagan paused to catch his breath, Silas finally turned to him and said, “Round up those guys causing trouble earlier. Give them a proper scare, and see if you can find out who put them up to it.”

He had noticed something fishy when those men had locked eyes with Lisette.

“Got it,” Fagan nodded, ready to take action.

Silas stood there, his eyes glued to where Calliope was. She had mentioned she had something important to do tonight. Was it to watch the races, or was there someone there she was interested in?

Wynton had advised him to get to know her better but subtly, so he was observing from a distance. He didn’t want to upset her by making his presence known.

Of course, if things got dicey, he’d step in without hesitation. No one was going to mess with his wife!

The car race kicked off, with Portia cheering wildly for Lance. Calliope was beside her, watching the big screen with a calm demeanor.

Just then, Lisette sauntered to Calliope, a smug grin plastered across her face despite the slap mark still fresh on her cheek.

“Calliope, you think you’ve won? You’re wrong. You may have hit me, but you’ve lost your brother’s affection forever.”
