A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 67

"Equally, you say? Then why don't you take a look at their rooms? Check out what kind of room Callie sleeps in compared to Lisette's. And while you're at it, maybe you should recall how each of their birthdays were celebrated.

Oh, and perhaps you should consider how much pocket money you give Lisette versus how much Callie has ever received. Did you pay for her tuition? Do you even know which school she graduated from?"

Silas's tone was as icy as a winter's chill, laced with a simmering anger.

Even though he wore his emotions like a well-fitted suit, Monty could sense Silas was furious.

"Lisette's younger... shouldn't Callie just let her have her way?

Besides, Callie's always been the odd one, never expressing when she's upset about something. How am I supposed to know everything?"

Silas didn't reply immediately.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Fagan, show Mr. Jewell out."

"But Mr. Myers, you haven't told me how we're handling the sign issue!" Monty furrowed his brows.

"The sign? I'll have it pulled. But make sure your foster daughter doesn't set foot in my company again. If Callie doesn't like someone, I don't either."

After that, Monty was ushered out of the car.

As the vehicle sped away, Monty rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

This Callie, now that she'd got Silas backing her, couldn't wait to run to him with complaints!

Yet, Silas seemed rather protective of Callie. Maybe it was time to mend fences with her. If Jewell Group could partner with Baker Group, the future would be worry-free.

"Oh, right. Just wanted to let you know, I spoke with Mr. Myers. He's pulling the sign."

Monty glanced at Lisette. "Lisette, you don't have any thoughts on Mr. Myers, do you?"

Lisette's expression shifted immediately. "Did Mr. Myers say something?"

"Nothing really," Monty shook his head. "But Mr. Myers is your brother-in-law. Best to steer clear of any drama with him."

Monty turned and walked away. He found himself wandering to the room Calliope used to occupy.

Callie's room was tucked away in the far corner of the house, small and lacking a walk-in closet or even a private bathroom. She must have been quite uncomfortable all these years.
