A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 294

Why is that so? Is Calliope that important?

Lisette's eyes flickered with darkness as she glanced toward Mr. Lopez, hoping to salvage her image and jab at Calliope.

"Mr. Lopez, perhaps you have some misunderstandings about Calliope? Her reputation isn't the best. Associating with her could tarnish your own."

"I'm not exaggerating. Here in Capitalton, many people aren't fond of Calliope. You've been abroad, so it's understandable if you're unaware of the situation here. Although I don't know who told you what, you don't need to meet Calliope."

"Do I need you to tell me how to handle my affairs?" Mr. Lopez looked at Lisette with a smirk. "Didn't understand what I said? I told you to get lost. Didn't you hear me?"

Being told to leave before so many people made Lisette's face flush with embarrassment.

"Mr. Lopez, you'll regret this!" Lisette stepped aside, fuming.

"I told you to leave, didn't I?" Mr. Lopez turned his head, staring at Lisette, who was almost at the door. Then, he turned to Monty, "Your daughter doesn't seem to understand simple instructions. I said leave. Why hasn't she left? It seems the Jewell family isn't sincere about working with me."

Monty glanced toward Lisette, a sense of panic rising within him. It was clear Mr. Lopez was genuinely upset. Whenever they discussed business before, Mr. Lopez was always smiling, never this intimidating.

In the room, no one dared to speak. Everyone sat upright, glancing sympathetically toward Monty.

Someone advised, "Mr. Lopez told her to leave. Shouldn't she get out?"

"Lisette! Didn't you hear Mr. Lopez?" Monty shouted at Lisette.

Lisette looked at Monty in disbelief.
