A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 338

"Oh, by the way, someone seemed pretty interested in the whole 'who's better between me and Lisette' debate. Since there's curiosity floating around, I feel like we should probably settle that, right?"

"Once I'm done eating, we can chat about it. Hey, we're all here, might as well enjoy the show, right? And there's so much good food. It'd be a shame to let it go to waste!"

Calliope spoke as she continued munching on her plate of sliders and fries.

After a bit, she finally felt full and stood up with a leisurely stretch.

She glanced down at Lisette, who was still on her knees, unsure whether to stand or stay put, looking a little flustered.

It seemed like Calliope was about to do something unexpected.

"Calliope, let's just leave it. It's my fault for making everyone misunderstand you! Please don't be mad, okay? I’m really sorry!"

Lisette swallowed nervously, casting a wary glance at Calliope, a sense of foreboding creeping in.

Was she about to make a fool of herself?

"Apologize?" Calliope shook her head. "You haven't done anything wrong, so why apologize to me?"

She looked around at the gathered crowd. "If you apologize, people might start badmouthing me even more, right? Let's hold off on the apologies. We’ve got some things to settle first. People need to see who you really are before a proper apology can happen."

With a sly smile, Calliope walked towards the stage in the banquet hall, all eyes following her.

As she ascended the steps, the crowd instinctively parted, creating a path for her. Though whispers and murmurs continued, they were much quieter now, overshadowed by a strange sense of anticipation.

"What's Calliope planning to do?"

"What did she mean by all that?"
