A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 546

“No way. We have to get it back!” Zelda was fuming, practically stomping her foot. “She’s getting worse every day, seriously. I never agreed with her taking your stuff. Your father and the others are just too spineless! That’s exactly why that harpy can walk all over them!”

And with that, Zelda grabbed Lisette’s arm and marched her toward the door.

Lisette’s lips curled up in a satisfied little smirk. She quickly wiped it away before anyone else could see.

As they stepped out into the living room, Lisette made sure her eyes were red, like she’d been holding back tears. She glanced at Monty and the others.

“Mom, just let it go, okay? It’s really not a big deal. I mean it, I’m fine!”

“Really, I don’t need it back. Compared to the family business and Horatio, what I’m giving up is nothing.”

Everyone heard Lisette’s quivering voice, and the whole room looked at her suspiciously.

Calliope, too, was watching her with a puzzled look. What’s all this about sacrifice? Calliope thought.

Zelda whirled on Calliope. “Calliope, you’ve been taking a ton of Lisette’s things, haven’t you? What are you, a burglar? Don’t you feel any shame?”

Monty interjected, “What’s the big deal, Zelda? I told Callie she could take those things. Most of that stuff was Callie’s to begin with! She’s just taking back what was hers, and if she doesn’t want it, she’ll give it back. Just like when Lisette used to ask for Callie’s things. No harm done, right?”

Horatio gave Lisette a sidelong glance. “Lisette, are you upset about this?”

Valerian stayed quiet, just looking thoughtful.
