A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 244

A hand was everything. And just like that, Upton had shattered Lisette’s wrist. That was too much, too cruel.

But they valued their own skin more than their pride. And this was Upton they were dealing with. A man of his stature? He could wipe the Jewell family off the face of the earth with a snap of his fingers. So, instead of blaming him, they turned their fury toward Calliope.

“If you dare lay a finger on Baber again,” Upton murmured, eyes narrowing as he looked at Lisette, “I’ll ensure you lose more than just a hand.”

Lisette gritted her teeth, clutching her mangled wrist, her face drained of all color. The pain was unbearable. The hatred in her eyes was unmistakable, but she didn’t dare look directly at Upton.

“If it weren’t for Callie’s connection to you, I wouldn’t have been this merciful,” Upton continued coldly. “You should be thanking her.”

His gaze swept over the group. “Now get lost.”

No one hesitated. In a flurry of movement, the brothers grabbed Lisette and rushed her out to surgery.

Outside the operating room, Horatio, Ulysses, and Valerian stood in tense silence, their anger simmering just beneath the surface.

“Calliope is not our sister anymore,” Ulysses declared, voice tight with fury. “I swear I’ll make her pay for what she did to Lisette.”

“She just stood there and watched,” Horatio muttered, brows furrowed in disbelief. “She’s not the Callie we grew up with.”

“She doesn’t care about any of us, her blood brothers. So why would she care about Lisette?” Valerian scoffed, bitterness lacing his words. “She’s too busy clinging to Silas, acting like she’s something special.”

“She really thinks Silas will always back her?” Ulysses sneered. “And Upton? He’ll return to Sea City sooner or later. This isn’t over.”

Just then, Zelda stormed into the hospital, her heels clicking sharply against the floor.
