A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 716

After just a couple of words, Calliope hung up the phone.

Monty frowned, looking a bit surprised.

What the heck did she mean by that? Was she planning to quit the company?

Sure, the business had started to bounce back under her leadership, but if she bailed now, things could go south real fast.

“How’d it go, Dad?” Horatio and the others turned to Monty.

“She said something I didn’t quite get. Sounds like she’s thinking of leaving the company,” Monty replied, rubbing his forehead. “She said she doesn’t want anything to do with it.”

“You need to set her straight,” Zelda snapped. “Why does she spend money like there’s no tomorrow? That money should be ours, not hers! Why do you talk to her like she’s the boss? She’s your daughter, she owes us everything. Is it so wrong for us to expect something in return?”

Horatio and the others exchanged glances but kept quiet, their eyes still fixed on Monty.

Monty shook his head. “She’s not the kind to just listen and do what she’s told. If I pushed her like that, she’d cut us off in a heartbeat.”

“Let her! See if I care!” Zelda muttered, rolling her eyes.

“So, is she really leaving the company?” Ulysses Jewell asked, his brow furrowed. “If she does, are we in trouble?”

He’d already heard stories about how sharp Calliope was. The company only survived because she was at the wheel. If she walked away, they could be headed straight for disaster.

“It’s possible,” Monty admitted. “A lot of our deals only happened because people wanted to do her a favor. If she leaves, we could end up right back where we started, on the edge of bankruptcy.”
