A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 148

She was surrounded by a crowd, her face lit up with a radiant smile, and even her eyes seemed to be sparkling with joy.

The three brothers stood awkwardly at the door. Their brows furrowed as if the sight of Calliope was like a splinter in their eye.

Horatio remembered the times when Calliope celebrated her birthday with Lisette. She never seemed this happy. But right then, she looked blissful.

She was with her three brothers, her siblings from the countryside. She seemed genuinely happy with them.

A peculiar discomfort settled in Horatio’s heart, and his frown deepened.

Ulysses chuckled dryly, "She didn’t invite us for her birthday. It seems like she doesn’t recognize us as her brothers anymore. We weren’t that bad to her, were we? Now that she has those brothers and a husband, she’s forgotten about the Jewell family, huh? Thinks she’s some Cinderella now?”

Valerian wore a scowl of dissatisfaction, “She’s changed.”

Nigel approached Calliope with a gift, offering it to her before whispering a few words.

Only then did Calliope notice the Jewell brothers standing at the doorway.

Many in the banquet hall had turned their attention to the Jewell brothers.

“Well, isn’t it the Jewell brothers? Did you come to wish Callie a happy birthday? Oh wait, you didn’t even bring a gift, did you?” Portia said, her voice dripping with mockery.

Her words drew everyone’s gaze toward the brothers at the door, probing and curious. Valerian and his siblings turned red with embarrassment, frozen in place.
