A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 169

"Yep, Calliope has never performed anything before. She probably can't do anything!"

"So, she's just a pretty face."

"Tsk, tsk, she's hiding in the corner, not coming out. No wonder the Jewell family parents don't like her."

The room buzzed with murmurs. Disdain filled their eyes as they glanced at Calliope.

Calliope heard them but chose to ignore their words.

Portia was fuming, her fists clenched tightly, while Archie looked ready to stand up and start a fight.

But Calliope held Archie down, her face calm and composed.

After Lisette finished her piece, a few women turned to Calliope, taunting, "Ms. Lisette has performed. Won't Ms. Calliope show us something?"

"Yeah, right. Ms. Lisette can play the piano. Can Ms. Calliope do anything?"

"Come on, Calliope? What can she do besides getting into fights!"

"Tsk, tsk, it seems like she's got no talent."

"Lisette is impressive!"

"Ms. Calliope probably doesn't even know what a piano is, huh?"

"Calliope, aren't you going to perform?"

Calliope knew these women well. They were Lisette's entourage. They relished in mocking her, always trying to put her down.

Every birthday party, it was the same old show. But each time, Zelda would prevent Calliope from responding.

This year, however, she had no reason to refuse, especially since she had something prepared.
