A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 310

Ulysses was fuming.

Zelda was at her wit's end.

Horatio and the others had finished cleaning themselves up and joined the family in the living room.

The rest of the family was there except for Lisette, who was too embarrassed to come down.

Monty sat there, looking utterly defeated. All he could think about was how Mr. Lopez, their client, was a lost cause. Calliope wouldn't lift a finger to help, and their company was staring down the barrel of a disaster.

"Why on earth did you go to that jinx?" Zelda snapped at Monty. "She's nothing but trouble for this family!"

She looked at her three sons, her heart aching for them. Then she thought of Lisette, who had come home looking upset and gone straight to her room, not to be seen since.

"What did Calliope do to Lisette?" she asked Monty and the others. "She’s been looking off ever since she got back. Did Calliope go too far again?"

"Just drop it," Monty said, scratching his head in frustration. "We might be going under."

"What do you mean?" Zelda asked, puzzled.

Monty explained Mr. Lopez's situation to Zelda.

"He insists on meeting Calliope. And he was furious when he saw I brought Lisette instead."

"What’s Calliope got to do with Mr. Lopez?" Zelda questioned, frowning.

"How should I know? She claims she doesn’t know him," Monty replied tersely.
