A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 355

"It's all because of that Calliope! I told you, she's a jinx, bringing nothing but trouble for us!"

Zelda was convinced, almost obsessively so, that Calliope was a harbinger of bad luck.

"If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be in this mess. If we hadn't taken her in, none of these damn things would have happened!"

Her resentment towards Calliope was palpable.

Monty frowned at Zelda, "Could it really be because of her?"

Zelda's words had planted a seed of doubt in Monty's mind. Everything did seem to connect back to Calliope. Without her, maybe the company wouldn't be facing such issues.

Could Calliope really be a jinx?

"I think so too," Valerian chimed in. "She claims we treat her badly, but she never actually says anything. Who knows if she's been holding a grudge against us all along?"

"Honestly, is it so strange for Lisette to be jealous of her? Lisette's adopted, of course, she'd feel insecure. And besides, Lisette hasn't done anything to harm us. She's just got a bit of an attitude towards her, that's all!"

Horatio sat in his wheelchair, fists clenched, deep in thought.

Zelda let out a bitter laugh, "If Calliope is such a miracle worker, why hasn’t she helped Horatio? She's hiding her talents because she doesn't want to help him, doesn't she? She wants Horatio to be stuck in that wheelchair forever! Everything that's gone wrong for us is her fault."

Zelda felt no remorse. The more she thought about it, the stronger her hostility towards Calliope grew. In her mind, Calliope was to blame for everything.

"But still, we need her to fix this, especially with the company situation," Monty said, glancing at Horatio's legs. "She should fix Horatio's legs too. We can't have him in a wheelchair for life, can we?"
