A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 180

“Is it my fault, or is it Calliope who's the problem?” Zelda fumed, her voice rising. “Can't you see she's doing it on purpose, targeting Lisette?”

“Don't you know Callie’s backed by the Baker family and Silas?” Monty replied, scratching his head. He had hoped to use this opportunity to get in Silas's good graces.

Well, so much for that plan. Not only did he fail to improve their relationship, but he might have severed it completely.

With Silas making such remarks, the Jewell Group was likely in for a rough ride. The company was already struggling, and if people feared offending Silas and chose not to collaborate with the Jewell family, what future did they have?

“Silas is just infatuated with her for now. He'll drop her soon enough,” Zelda retorted, rolling her eyes. “Why are you so worked up?”

“Callie is still your daughter,” Monty said, frowning.

“But she nearly killed me. Since she returned home, chaos has followed. If it weren’t for Lisette, I’d have faced so many more disasters!

When I gave birth to Calliope, it was a difficult labor. After bringing her home, it was like opening Pandora’s box. She’s a curse, I’m telling you. Since she left, the Jewell family will only get better!”

As Zelda recalled the past, a wave of frustration washed over her. She had once held out hope for Calliope, but Calliope had brought nothing but trouble from a young age. Over time, Zelda’s fondness for her dwindled.

Then Lisette came along. Every time Calliope caused trouble, Lisette saved the day, and Zelda grew more attached to her. Lisette was her good luck charm, and she adored her.
