A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 66

"Mom, I'm sorry, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have gone to see Mr. Myers for the company."

"Oh, sweetie, this isn’t your fault at all. It’s all on her!" Zelda comforted Lisette, feeling a wave of frustration rising.

She rubbed her temples. "She’s really been nothing but trouble for our family. That priest was right. You’re the good luck charm, and she’s the troublemaker.

She’s not cooperating. We’ll have your father talk to Mr. Myers later. Mr. Myers isn’t an unreasonable man."

Zelda told Lisette, "For now, just lay low. Don’t go to the office or anywhere else. We don’t want people gossiping."

"Okay," Lisette nodded.

...

Monty waited for Silas just as he was clocking out. He had been standing outside the Baker Group for ages since they wouldn’t let him in, so he resorted to waiting at the entrance.

Lucky for him, he caught Silas just as he was leaving.

"Mr. Myers, could I have a word with you?" Monty asked, feeling slightly embarrassed.

He wouldn’t have swallowed his pride to come begging if this Lisette situation hadn’t blown up, affecting their company and even prompting calls from partners worried about a fallout with Silas.

But Silas was Calliope’s husband, after all, and even if it was just for show, technically, Monty was his father-in-law. He hoped Silas wouldn’t make things too difficult for him.

Silas gave Monty a cool glance. After all, he was Callie’s father, so he said to Monty, "Come with me."

Monty sighed with relief and followed him to his car, where Fagan opened the door for him.

Silas got in first.
