A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 371

Valerian and the others had their gaze fixed on Horatio, who was sitting in his wheelchair.

"How could she be that talented? Everyone says she's a jinx. Horatio, are you sure your friend isn't pulling your leg?" Zelda reclined on the couch with skepticism. She couldn't accept that Calliope might be more talented than Lisette.

Lisette was the daughter she had invested so much in, and the thought of her efforts producing anything less than exceptional was simply intolerable.

Zelda's eyes were steely with resolve; no amount of persuasion could sway her opinion.

Horatio's hands shook slightly as he read through the email. He looked up at Monty, his voice barely above a whisper. "Dad, my friend wasn't lying to us. Callie really is that talented."

He handed his phone to Valerian and fell into a contemplative silence.

Monty leaned over to take a look himself, his expression a mix of emotions. The information they'd heard was genuine. Calliope had been hiding a significant part of herself. It was undeniable that Calliope was extraordinary.

"She kept this from us the whole time!" Valerian's brows furrowed, his initial shock quickly turning into resentment. "She could have told us!"

Valerian remained silent, reflecting on the past and his own actions. He knew he was in the wrong but struggled to admit it fully. To him, Calliope shared some of the blame.

Monty set down the phone, staring at Horatio and the others in disbelief. "Can we still make things right with her?"

"Make things right with her?" Zelda scoffed, her disbelief unwavering. "Why bother with her? She's useless. We should focus on Lisette and ensure she's okay!"
