A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 806

“Cut ties with Lisette?” Zelda gasped, her voice barely above a whisper. “Do you think they’ll come after her again?”

“They just might,” Monty replied, brow furrowed. “That woman doesn’t exactly play fair.”

Zelda looked at him, incredulous. “We can’t just abandon Lisette like that! She’s our daughter, Monty. Our favorite, even!”

She shot him several pleading glances, hoping he wouldn’t give up on Lisette so easily.

Monty hesitated, deep in thought. He glanced over to where Calliope was chatting. “Let’s deal with Callie first... Didn’t you notice? She seems to know everyone here, and she’s really close with that Lynn heiress.”

Monty was feeling overwhelmed. He found himself regretting all those years he’d favored Lisette—maybe he should’ve been more fair to Calliope.

Now, Calliope clearly held a grudge against them.

Trying to get her to come home wouldn’t be easy. She might not even want anything to do with them anymore.

The thing was, Calliope was brilliant—crucial, even. If she stayed at the Jewell family’s company, the business would probably take off. She had so many friends—people with influence and connections, the kind you couldn’t buy.

Monty couldn’t help but envy Calliope’s network. The problem was, those connections were all hers. They had nothing to do with him.

And deep down, he knew even if he asked her to share her contacts, she’d probably just laugh in his face. She’d already started treating their whole family like strangers.

Meanwhile, Calliope was chatting with Sharon when her gaze suddenly drifted to a couple standing across the room.

They looked familiar. The woman, especially, there was something about her face that reminded Calliope of herself.

“What’s up, Callie?” Sharon noticed her distracted expression and followed her gaze.

Wasn’t that the girl Oliver Myers wanted Silas Myers to marry?

“Have they ever lost a child?” Calliope pressed.

Sharon looked at her, puzzled, but answered, “Not that I’ve heard of.”

Calliope nodded, letting it go for now.

Sharon glanced at her. “Why do you ask? Are you interested in them? I know Mr. White, I could introduce you.”

Calliope shook her head. “No, that’s okay.”

“All right, if you say so,” Sharon said with a shrug.
