A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 239

“Where’s Baber?”

Calliope yanked Lisette’s hair, her expression dark as she made the question.

“You crazy cow, let go of me!”

Lisette winced as pain shot across her scalp, her eyes welling with tears.

Calliope wasn’t playing around - her grip was ruthless, and the force of her slap had already left Lisette’s cheek swelling.

Lisette looked desperately toward Valerian and the others, crying out for help. “Horatio, Valerian, Ulysses! Help!”

“Calliope, that’s enough! You lost track of the kid yourself! Why the hell are you taking it out on Lisette?”

Valerian was furious; he stepped forward, raising his hand to strike Calliope.

But before he could land the slap, Calliope caught his wrist. Her fingers closed around his arm with a deceptive ease, but no matter how much strength Valerian put into it, he couldn’t yank free. His face turned red from the strain, disbelief flashing in his eyes.

Calliope smirked and gave him a light shove. Valerian stumbled back several steps before catching his balance, staring at her as if she’d just grown another head.

“What the hell is wrong with you, Callie?” Ulysses’s expression mirrored Valerian’s shock. “Let Lisette go, or we’re gonna have a serious problem.”
