A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 700

Horatio said, “Even if you’re not close with us, you can’t just walk away from the family like this!”

“Yeah, Callie, you can’t just break family ties like snapping your fingers!”

Calliope turned around, a small, amused smile playing on her lips. “You guys have been tailing us this whole time? Family ties, huh? But what if I told you there’s no blood between us? Would you still be saying that?”

She shrugged. “Anyway, you don’t need the details. Leaving the Jewell family is only a matter of time for me.”

Horatio and the others frowned, clearly unsettled.

But Lisette’s eyes sharpened. She’d caught that one little phrase—no blood between them.

What did she mean by that?

Could it be… Calliope wasn’t really a Jewell? Lisette had always thought it odd. Calliope looked nothing like her so-called brothers, Monty or Zelda. The family resemblance just wasn’t there.

Horatio and the others brushed it off, thinking Calliope was just talking out of anger.

But Lisette’s curiosity was piqued. She decided she had to look into it. Maybe Calliope really wasn’t a Jewell after all.

The movie theater lights dimmed, and the previews started to roll.

Calliope glanced at them and said coolly, “Movie’s starting. Time to zip it.”

With that, she turned around, not bothering to look back.

Horatio and his crew couldn’t focus on the movie at all. Their minds kept circling back to Calliope’s threat to leave the Jewell family. She sounded dead serious this time, and they all knew, if anyone could pull off something like that, it’d be her.

They barely paid attention as the film played, and before they knew it, the credits were rolling.

Calliope praised Julius’s acting, then added, “Didn’t expect the movie to be this good, honestly.”

As they headed out, they overheard snippets of excited conversation from other moviegoers.
