A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 335

"Calliope, I'm begging you. He's your brother! Even if you left the Jewell family, you can’t deny the blood bond you share with Horatio! He's always cared for you deeply, no matter what. He's your brother, right?"

Lisette was on her knees, tears streaming down her face, delivering a performance worthy of an Oscar.

"I get it. You don’t like me. You think I'm better than you and have taken everything from you... If it bothers you, I can leave the Jewell family, leave Capitalton! As long as you help Horatio, I'll go wherever you want me to! I'll even get all our classmates to witness it!"

Lisette's words were both heart-wrenching and infuriating.

Around them, classmates began putting down their forks and knives. They gathered around Calliope's table and launched into a chorus of accusations.

"Calliope, isn't this too heartless?"

"You can't treat your brother like this just because you're jealous of Lisette!"

"How can you abandon your brother like that? Are you even human?"

"I don't get it. Why do you have such a vendetta against Lisette? She never did anything to you, right?"

"You’re the one being unreasonable. If you fell short, why blame Lisette?"

"Yeah. You can't hate someone just because they're better or more hardworking!"

"If you don't like her being more accomplished, then step up your game!"

"Is this all you've got, Calliope?"

"Are you trying to force Lisette out?"

"Wow, this is too much. I've never seen anything so outrageous!"
