A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 194

"You've wasted way too much time because of them," Portia grumbled, her voice dripping with disdain. "You should've cut ties with them ages ago. The Jewell family is not worth it!"

Calliope and Portia headed home together.

Meanwhile, after spending some time at the pub, the Jewell family members also made their way back home.

"You're back! What are all these packages?" Noticing her sons and daughter had returned, Zelda looked up and asked, "We received several packages today, one for each of you."

"What?" Horatio was puzzled. "I didn't order anything."

"I haven't bought anything, either. Wait, could it be what Calliope mentioned?" Valerian wondered aloud, scratching his head.

"What's in them?" Ulysses furrowed his brow in confusion.

The three brothers exchanged curious glances before moving to their packages, eager to see what was inside.

Lisette and Zelda sat nearby, watching them with interest.

Lisette frowned slightly. "Is she trying to make amends by sending gifts? Does she want to come back to our family?"

"Even if she wants to return home, I won't let her!" Zelda snapped sharply. "Let her make a fool of herself out there! Lisette, you're all we need!"

"Who knows what she's plotting!" Valerian said coldly. "No matter what she sends, I won't agree to let her back!"

"Of course, she left on her own. Does she really think she can just waltz back in?" Ulysses tore into his package with little care.
