A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 345

The stuffed bunny had been Calliope's favorite, but her three brothers snatched it away and handed it over to Lisette, the girl their parents had just adopted. They scolded Calliope harshly, accusing her of being mean to Lisette and insisted she should treat her better in the future.

Calliope felt wronged and unfairly blamed.

As time went on, there were more and more instances captured on video where Lisette cunningly took everything Calliope cherished. She took her favorite toys and possessions, and no matter how much Calliope tried to explain, no one in the Jewell family believed her.

From their early years, through ages nine and ten, and into their teens, Lisette's appetite for Calliope's things only grew. She even began to demand Calliope's more valuable belongings. During family photo shoots, Lisette would pull some trick, leaving Calliope out of the picture. The family portraits hung on the walls, but Calliope was nowhere to be seen.

No one in the Jewell family seemed to care about Calliope. They showered all their affection on Lisette.

The audience watching this unfold was stunned. Initially indifferent, they gradually grew more empathetic towards Calliope. They had no idea that life in the Jewell family was like this for her. Although she was the eldest daughter, her room was taken by Lisette, leaving her to live in a tiny storage closet.

Because Lisette's birthday was just a day apart from Calliope's, the Jewell family feared making Lisette feel left out. So they never celebrated Calliope’s birthday separately. Every year, the birthday party was always about Lisette, with Calliope being an afterthought.

Regardless of what Calliope did, right or wrong, the Jewell family always found fault with her, constantly reprimanding her.

Among the audience, some sensitive girls started to cry.

"This is just heartbreaking for Calliope," one murmured.

"I always thought she was the pampered one!" another exclaimed.
