A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 698

Horatio glanced at Lisette and said, “Hey, this isn’t your fault.”

Ulysses gave her a quick, indifferent look. “Yeah, you’re not to blame for any of this.”

Lisette let out a small sigh of relief. At least they weren’t holding it against her. But as her nerves settled, a new idea crept in.

Maybe she could take a shot at winning over one of Calliope’s brothers. If only she’d known how loaded they were, she would never have wasted her time flirting with Valerian. Compared to Calliope’s brothers, poor Valerian was way out of his league.

Sure, she couldn’t be their sister, but maybe… she could become Calliope’s sister-in-law. That would put her in a whole different league. And wouldn’t Calliope just have to put up with her then? The thought sparked a new wave of confidence in Lisette.

...

Meanwhile, Calliope and her crew had just left a fancy jewelry store and were already ducking into another chic boutique. Her three brothers showered her with gifts—designer handbags, sparkling earrings, the works. Even Silas joined in, picking out some cool gadgets for her. Of course, Calliope didn’t just take; she picked out thoughtful presents for each of them too.

By the time they finished their spree, they were loaded down with shopping bags from all the most exclusive stores. Everyone was grinning, arms aching with luxury.

Lisette and her group watched from across the street, eyes bugging out at the mountain of high-end loot Calliope and her brothers had snagged. It was obvious—even Quentin had been treated to Calliope’s generosity. They looked like a scene straight out of a glossy magazine, so polished and joyful it almost hurt to look at them.

Lisette’s envy burned hotter. Sure, Horatio and the guys had bought her nice things before, but never anything close to this level. They had money, but not the kind that let you drop a fortune on a whim. Compared to Silas and his brothers, it was no contest.

It stung even more remembering how miserable Calliope’s childhood had been—Lisette had made sure of that. Yet now, here was Calliope, living the dream: glamorous, adored, and surrounded by the best of everything, including brothers who looked like they belonged on the cover of GQ.
