A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 354

"They say they need to interrogate her, so we can't take her home just yet."

Valerian's emotions were all over the place. The whole situation with Calliope and Lisette had left him feeling a bit frazzled.

"What are we going to do now?" Horatio asked, frowning.

"I don't know, but Lisette hasn't done anything too serious. I doubt she'll end up in jail. We should just head home for now."

Valerian was about to call for a taxi when his phone buzzed. After picking up, his face turned a shade more serious.

He glanced at Horatio. "Let's go home. Dad's waiting for us there."

"Alright," Horatio nodded.

The two brothers hailed a cab and headed back home.

When they arrived, they found Monty and Zelda sitting on the couch in the living room. The tension in the room was almost palpable; neither of them had spoken a word, but their silence spoke volumes.

After what felt like an eternity, Monty finally broke the silence, "This is all your fault!"

"What do you mean it's my fault?" Zelda retorted, looking incredulous. "I didn't do anything wrong. That so-called psychic said Calliope was a curse on our family. I was just trying to protect us all by keeping my distance!"

"If she was really a curse, would she be so successful? Our company is on the brink of collapse. And now with this new scandal, we're finished!" Monty rubbed his temples, looking like he was on the verge of a breakdown.
